The other day, I was wearing my Decemberists T-shirt with the mistle thrush on it. I really like this shirt; it might well be one of my overall favorite band shirts. But anyway, the reason I bring up this mundane matter (not that I usually need an excuse, mind you) is the following exchange I had with the cashier lady at the Wawa:
"What does your shirt say?"
"The Decemberists. They're a band."
"Oh. Are you IN the band?"
"Um...no."
Seriously, what kind of question is that? Do band T-shirts not fit into her paradigm? Would she have asked the same question if it had been, say, a Beatles shirt?
Anyway, also yesterday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje and I had lunch at Red Lobster, where we got what I believe is technically called the Shitload of Shrimp Special. It was forty-five shrimp, in three different varieties. We actually only got only TWO varieties, though, with a double helping of the scampi. It's pretty easy to eat a lot of shrimp, but I was full for most of the rest of the day. I ended up not eating the Wawa sandwich that I'd gotten for lunch. I have it in the refrigerator now so I can bring it in for lunch today, so I hope it's not too stale.
I passed a business called Anna Marie's Water Ice on my way to work, but when I first looked at the sign, I thought it said "Aqua Marie's." Actually, I think that would be a pretty good name to use somewhere.
I just recently woke up from a dream where, for some reason, I was eating lunch along a country road. For some reason, a table had been set up right in the middle of the road itself, but I decided to move it in case a car had to go by.
I've gotten into the habit of commenting on every new They Might Be Giants podcast, but there isn't much to say about the new one. I kind of half-wonder if there was a problem with the download, although I don't think that's the case. Only ten and a half minutes long, with no Cecil and, indeed, no spoken parts at all? No wonder they included "Disappointing Show" in the podcast. And you might remember that I said the fact that a remix of "E Eats Everything" even exists is amusing, but the remix itself isn't that great? Well, doing one of "Pictures Of Pandas Painting" as well just strikes me as overkill. I do quite like "Complete Paranoia," though. It's amazing how the band can cook up a song that good just because they can't think of anything to say on a DVD commentary track.
EDIT: I got an e-mail from Netflix saying, "As someone who enjoyed Fahrenheit 9/11, we thought you'd like to know United 93 opens Friday, April 28th in a theater near you." Um, are they basing this recommendation entirely on the titles, or what?
