shopping list

[I wrote this post on Sunday and just realized I hit “Save as Draft” instead of “Publish Post”. So I’ll just tweak it a bit and post it as a new post for today. Try to pretend you read this four days ago.]

Okay, I don’t shop at Walmart. I just don’t like Walmart that much. No offense to people who like shopping there. Really. But we went there because there was a rumor floating around town that they had ski/snow pants available. And we needed a pair or two, you see.

We ended up with a really random assortment of stuff. At least I thought so.

– 1 pair of men’s ski pants
– 1 small white sweatshirt (junior size)
– 3 bras
– 1 tube of Icey Hot (tm or r or whatever…I’ll look it up tomorrow)
– 8-pack of purse-sized tissue packs
– 1 cd of Galactic hits (you know, from sci-fi movies)

I can’t remember if there was anything else…but really, what is possibly missing?

I haven’t opened the CD yet. It was in the HUGE collection of $2.97 CDs. I mean, hundreds. We pawed through them – lots of stuff that had potential until you saw they were “performed by the Lobotomy Singers” or whoever. I want the original stars, thanks. I always look because for three bucks, you might find something you can give as a Secret Satan, er, Santa gift, or something that you can use as a soundtrack when editing video. You just always have to be ready in case your home movies involve a rocket launch.

Published Poet – Whoa

I need to look through the archives to see if I ever mentioned that I used my 2004 Magnetic Poetry Calendar to write a poem and submit it to the Magnetic Poetry website. [update: Yes, I did.] You tell them what kit you used (there are like 20 or more now) and if they deem it suitable, they put it up on their web site in their “anthology.” Mine is still available up there.

I got an email over the weekend saying that they want to use my poem [such that it is] in their 2006 Magnetic Poetry Calendar. I kid you not. So I sent them my info, and anxiously await next fall when the 2006 calendars start hitting the market. I think it’s a pretty safe bet on what everyone will be getting for Christmas next year.

Oh, and for the record, once 2004 was over, I ripped off all the Calendar pages (the ones with other people’s poems on them) and kept the magnetic board part. My poem is still on it, so I took a picture with my camera.

Universal Hubbing

Hey gang, Adam set up a page to grab all the blog entries on Tedy Bruschi’s stroke status. I guess he did this because I was shocked that there were so few Boston Bloggers talking on the subject. For the record, I made my request over at his new Universal Hub site, where everyone who registers gets space for a [Massachusetts/Bostony] blog. Mine, which I won’t be using too much because I have this place, is at http://www.universalhub.com/blog/12.

Don’t worry, I won’t be talking about all of you behind your back over there. Then again, if for some reason this site is completely down, you may want to look over there to see if I’ve explained why…
