It's like I went home to Wisconsin

cornerofmadnessit's that damn cold today. Yay. I love the cold. It never got above 10 degrees (-12 for the non-Americans). Love it. It was bright and sunny so I dragged 100 miles north to Trader Joes and the Asian Supermarket (that's its name) Apparently EVERYONE was in the mood for Asian today. I needed to learn how to say, 'sorry, if i'm standing in your way like a lump, move me,' in Chinese. I did come away with red bean buns, lotus buns, custard buns, chestnut mochi, green tea mochi and wagashi...yeah health food. Rolls eyes. They had natto which looks as disgusting in person as it did in pictures but sadly they had no pocky this time. bah.
Went across the street to Trader Joe's. Okay flist, if you hear me mumbling about going to Columbus slap me hard. You see me making for Trader Joe's knee cap me. Tell me why I bought green tea ice cream balls? I don't even like ice cream much. Now the double cream brie and the chedder with fig and orange sounded too good to pass up. Marinkopita (mushroom pie) fell into the buggy bringing veggie shu mai with it. There was more stuff (proscuitto looking at you) too.
Spend my whole Christmas gift card allotment in Borders buying manga (naturally) then went for lunch...I'm now convinced ALL OH chinese buffets have the exact same bland-ass supplier. Blech.
Then it was off to the mall to get more books and look for black shoes. It was next to impossible to find any black tie ups or even black flats. Finally found one pair for more than I wanted to pay at Nautralizer but they fit me. I mean not EVERYONE has wide feet shoemakers. Don't care how many wides you have, don't need signs for that. Tell me how many NARROWS do you carry. None. I did manage to fit the Nautralizer so I bought them and on the way home I realized why they looked so familiar. They're Speed Racer loafers. I had a pair I wore to death in the 70's just like them and yes I wore then because Speed had them (give me a break look at my anime choses back then, Speed or Gatchaman and even then I knew it was stupid to dress up like a BIRD)
Went out for Greek for dinner...way overpriced so we won't be repeating that. But it was a good evening all around...until the Packers just LOST. Gah, hate the Giants.
