i remember in first grade, asking my mother to let me go to the store by myself. it was a grocery store, i think it was an acme, yeah, i just checked with my mom, it was an acme grocery store. now its a dollar store. it still has the same floor, probably asbestos tile. not that big, maybe 10,000 square feet, about the size of a dollar store.
thing is, i was at most 6 years old. at six years old i walked a block up the hill with a dollar in my hand, crossed the street at the corner of dudley ave. and main st., went into the acme, got two loaves of white sandwich bread (not wonder) got change, and went home with the bread. i recall each loaf costing 25 cents.
i can not fathom any six-year-old doing that now. i remember feeling pretty proud about it.
now we dont even have anything close for my kids to walk to. i barely let my 10-year-old daughter buy something at a convenience store while i am in the car.
it was an acme, then a loblaws, then a great american (all grocery stores) and now it is a dollar store.
ok then

meals together
clearly we are social. one of the best things i like to do is eat. next to eating would be cooking, then maybe sex. eat, cook, sex. in the olden days (homo habilis) it was hunting & gathering, and of course sex. so basically i would like us to revert back, cuz i am there already.
eating alone is boring. it is eating with others where derive so much pleasure. the talking, the sharing, the notion that i am important enough to have someone else agree to eat with me.
if you eat alone, then you suck it. you might live alone, but it doesnt mean you have to eat alone.
and better than just eating, is preparing.

it's on with alexa chung
if you have not seen this show yet, then you need to at least see it once to evaluate it. some pretty high-fahllutinn recording artists and celebs drop by and the live music is pretty good at the end of the show.
one hour live, every day, m-th on MTV at noon. i dvr it and whizz past the mindless trash-teen shits she has to put up with.
she is a brit, and brings a very different spin on celebs and shit and listening to her language is quite refreshing
