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.

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. )
