I don't eat Wonder Bread; I like pumpernickel

1. I can check one thing off my list from a few posts ago, since I got new tires yesterday. It was fairly quick, too. It annoys me when people mess with the seat controls simply to drive around a building or something. It's difficult to get them back to the way they were. I guess I need one of those fancy cars that remember the settings. Anyway, I'll probably get an oil change and car wash on Thursday, if possible.

2. I've been listening to the Franz Ferdinand album You Could Have It So Much Better, which I gave bethje for Valentine's Day. I don't like this album as much as their first one, but I do like how songs like "Eleanor Put Your Boots On" and "Fade Together" have a different, slower, kind of old-fashioned sound to them. "Eleanor" even sounds a bit Beatlesque, perhaps. Most of the album is pretty catchy, though. As far as the more typical-sounding songs go, I like "Do You Want To" quite a bit.

3. In case you didn't yet realize, Tori Amos is pretty weird. Beth and I listened to the commentary on Fade to Red, and most of what she says doesn't really make that much sense. And she's apparently obsessed with Anne Boelyn.

4. I had a $5 Starbucks gift card that my dad had given me. He keeps giving me these, even though he knows I don't drink coffee. It's okay, though, because I use them to buy coffee for Beth, who loves the stuff. Anyway, I somehow lost it yesterday, which annoys me. Throughout my life, I've had several things apparently vanish from existence. I know that's not physically possible, what with the Law of Conservation of Mass and all; but when I can't find something in any of the places where I could have possibly dropped it, what's the scientific explanation?

Amy loves coffee too, and I can't stand the taste. So if we go together, she'll get a coffee drink and I'll get a hot chocolate or a strawberries & cream, depending on the temperature.

Also, I'm sure the Law of Conservation of Mass still holds, but in similar conditions, I'm positive that driers are capable of transmuting individual socks into inkless pens that are scattered elsewhere.

I don't like hot chocolate either. Does Starbucks have a strawberries and cream drink? I don't remember ever seeing it on the menu. I do like their caramel apple cider, but not enough to go out of my way to get it.

And I eventually found the gift card. It was apparently UNDER the car, as I noticed when I started to drive away.

Yeah, I've gotten it a lot there. The description is here. It's in the "Frappuccino Blended Creme" portion of the menu.
