Radio.

I had to drive to Six Flags to pick up my little sister on Saturday. NPR was airing my least favorite show ("Prairie Home Companion"), so I flipped through my mom's preset channels and wound up listening to Fox Radio talking about how Obama has magical Jedi powers because he's getting people to agree about a ~terrible~ healthcare plan. The radio host kept talking about how people in Britain wait OMG FOREVER to see a doctor, so I called in to say, um, no, I went five times in six months and always got appointments within a week and waited ten minutes to see the doctor.

Why is it that I can always successfully call in to conservative talk radio shows, but never manage to call into "Science Friday" or "Talk of the Nation"?



So unfair.

Vanity.

Today, I went to the consignment shop to look for 1) a suit, 2) sneakers, and 3) a dress for mom.

1) Only found one suit (too big), but found a few nice blazers without skirts/pants attached (not what I need).

2) Nada.

3) Found nothing for mom, but did find a dress that fit me pretty well, except that it was weirdly wide at the waist, like it belonged to part of a suit...

... and it only just hit me now that the dress went with one of the nice blazers. Doy. I'll have to go back and get it tomorrow.

Cut for unbearable smugness. )
