Friday night went out to The Bent Elbow and drank many Heinekins. The opposite sex was present in full force during happy hour. When the free food ended, the opposite sex vanished. We released the hounds in a vain attempt to figure out where the hell they went, but to no avail. Our efforts to locate them again were fruitless. I had some okay pizza from this little store in Willow Grove. I then drove home and crashed. I woke up at 3 AM to walk the dog and take out my contacts. I then re-crashed.
Let me tell you a little bit about My Favorite Pillow. I got My Favorite Pillow when I was around 15 years old. My parents were trying to help me deal with my face breaking out all to hell, and one of the solutions was to switch to a softer pillow. So, mom and dad went out and surprised me by buying a down feather pillow. It was soft. It was squishy. It was… My Favorite Pillow. I took that pillow to college. When my ex Betsy and I lived at my parents and eventually at the house I just bought last week, I had my pillow. If you do some simple math, you will note that I have had My Favorite Pillow for 19 years now. That’s not good. It is old. I know this. I have cleaned it many times. The pillow has gotten considerably smaller since we first met. So, for this reason and probably much more, I am officially retiring the pillow tonight. I don’t know exactly what I should do with it. Donating it to the Salvation Army seems out of the question. I almost think I should trek into a field and bury it. Perhaps I will do that. Right now it is in a zip locked plastic bag that my new replacement pillow came in. I actually have two replacement pillows. One is a proper down feather pillow, and the other is this IsoPerfect visco-elastic pillow that you see at Brookstone and other gadgety places. So, anyway, the era of My Favorite Pillow is coming to an end. Tell your friends.
Where did I go to buy my replacement pillow? Wilmington, Delaware. Tax free shopping, dude. I drove through there last week when I had to go to Maryland to wire my down-payment from my bank to the title company. There were so many stores there and they were so huge. The factory outlet for KayBee Toys. I was there. The company that made my new kitchen cabinets, Thomasville, also had a giant store there. I was tempted. I stayed out. I hit Target, Bed Bath and Beyond and Circuit City. My big purchases included a microwave oven complete with rotating glass plate for only $27 from Target (wow). The high end purchase was an HP m280n media center PC. The last computer I bought was a Sony 800 MHZ machine and it sucks ass now. This is 3 GHz multithreading monster. Yum. I am gonna enjoy the hell out of the media center features. I’ll give a review on the machine after I crack it open. I still have to take Chew Chew outside for draining.
