...and 12 litres of vegetable juice

The Dollar Event is back at No Frills and once again I've lost my mind, thinking I will enjoy eating things like Sneiders Lunchmate Stackers merely because they cost $1. I now have 10 cans of Clover Leaf's Spicy Thai Chili Tuna and 12 litres of Mott's Garden Cocktail to tide me over in case of the Apocalypse. And yet, still I love every minute of it...

Things I learned yesterday...

1. Men's size 30 jeans and boy's size 16 jeans... same size. I can't tell you how weird I think it is that I bought two pairs of jeans yesterday from the same manufacturer in these sizes and they both fit.
2. This is definitely the way to hem jeans.
3. There are moments that everyone can relate to; experiences that we all share. As I was scraping the film of ice off my bicycle seat last night I realized that this was not one of those experiences.

But she's a Cylon

I had no idea until I was looking something up this morning that D'Anna on Battlestar Galactica is played by Lucy Lawless. I can't believe how easy it is to fool me with a new hairdo. I think that part of it is that I'm totally willing to forget that the characters aren't real. It's what leads to moments like having a 12-year old ask me if I'm crying while watching a movie (the movie was The Pursuit of Happyness and yes, I was crying, a bit, but I was jet-lagged and it all looked really bad for them for a while there and kept getting worse, and I have this thing where I forget that the characters aren't real. It's why hallucinogens really are not a good idea for me at all... the fiction line is thin enough for me as it is...

I just asked Patrick, my roommate, if he knew that D'Anna was Lucy Lawless and I'm pretty sure that now he thinks I probably can't tie my own shoes. He asked how I could possibly have not known. "Well she's blonde," I pointed out. "And she's a cylon, not a warrior princess." He looked at me, you know, like that wasn't enough. "Okay, and I'm retarded."
