My non-holiday

Where some people were honouring out nation's veterans by participating in parades, cemetery visits, memorials and dedications. I spent the majority of the day doing laundry - lots and lots of laundry. Thankfully, no one was in the place since I took up a 40-lb, 3 20-lb, and 3 normal washers and similarly 9 dryers. After spending the three hours in the place I decided to finally pick up the electric snow blower to combat this year's winter. If some law remains applicable, we won't have any snow since I'm ready for it - which may be a good thing, if you're Kris.

I went to Colonie mall, in the rain, with everyone driving like jackholes and decided the first thing that I was to do was hit FYE. I had a pocketful of quarters, they have skeeball, why not enjoy the rewards of doing laundry? I would have enjoyed my experience more if it wasn't for the fact that some woman was working around me trying to fix the two down machines. 290 tickets later, I left feeling a bit happier and ready to tackle the snow 'thrower' purchase.

The one thing that I hate about Sears is that the employees on the floor are working for commission. I feel like a piece of meat in a tiger cage ready for them to pounce all over me. Luckily everyone was too preoccupied with someone else that I just hopped in the sales line. I don't care who gets the commission; I just want to be in and out with my already set-in-mind purchase.

The other thing I accomplished was to organize the food storage container bin and set up a back of soda bottles/cans for the homeless/poor dudes that stop by every garbage night.

Last evening, Kris, Pat, and myself went to the Palace Theatre to see Bare Naked Ladies. Like the other time I saw them, it was phenomenal. The one thing I love about these guys in concert is that it was completely different from the other time - different songs, different set design, and a different format to the show. My complaints mainly were the venue and not with the band. The women in queue for the loo were rationing toilet paper since it was the only roll left, the best beer being served was Bud Light, and it was freaking hot up in the balcony.

The show was overall excellent, including a limbo moment when during the Q&A portion of the show someone asked if they ever had one, if so who one, and would they put it on their blog. The acoustic version of It Takes Two. The format of the show was playing their new album over the course of the evening interspersed with classics from each previous album. So some of my favorites that they played were Alcohol and Brian Wilson – hits, yes but the other songs I loved, I didn’t know the names to, they could have possibly been off the new album.
