So Peter and I went to Target tonight to check out the clearance racks for that special valentine of mine (man, NOW you guys are all wishing you had asked me to be your valentine!!!) and besides all the ... interesting ... things that he convinced me not to purchase (and one gift that we forgot, I'm very sorry, valentine!!), we had a lovely checkout. First I got to see Eric, the nervous highschool checkout boy who works about 800 hours a week, I'm sure, because I don't think he has ever NOT been there, especially when I am buying tampons. But better than that was the guy behind us in line, who was buying a plunger and heavy-duty toilet cleaner. That's it. I was just not wanting to imagine what was going on in his bathroom but I couldn't help thinking of scenarios -- strangely, he was in a quite jovial mood though. Maybe he is planning on mussying up the bathroom before leaving on vacation but is kindly buying supplies for his unsuspecting roommates to clean up after him. I don't know.

We also nearly barrelled into a gigantic SUV limo...I don't think we would have been the winner in that one. Shortly after that, Peter didn't notice us running straight through a red light next to a freeway exit ramp. That is until I screamed SHIT, PETER!! and grabbed my door handle (to save me). Luckily no one was coming, so we jollily kept going. Phew.

ALSO. Does India really need nuclear weapons? Cause they created that funny little arms race with Pakistan, whose conventional army could never stand up to them, but now that they have nuclear weapons, they can, but India's military power is still over 2 million strong -- and they only spend $14 billion a year!! So I'm thinking that remember Iran's human wave? Why can't India just employ similar tactics in the event of a war? C'mon, move all your men (I don't think there are very many women in India's military. But I could be wrong and judgmental. I apologize.) to the Pak border and just swarm 'em.

Craving starburst jelly beans. Reason #2 for going to Target. Target all out. Quite disappointed and let down. Must make up for this by eating other sugary things. Wait, did I eat anything real today?
