Good price on the Dobies, and it will be nice to have a serious backup supply. They only last about 2 days at our house because one of our roommates without fail slices the shit out of them washing sharp knives. I even bought one of those Joseph & Joseph brushes in the hope it would save the poor Dobies but she…

In Texas, Sprouts sometimes has them, Central Market does too. Market Street would sometimes carry them, but not all stores, and not all the time. Your best bet is to call ahead.

So jealous! It always seems when I have the money, he’s not touring, and vice versa. I still have my Night & Day tour t-shirt that I’ve been meaning to frame for [cough] years.

Total Coelo’s “I Eat Cannibals”. I have no idea how that song ever became a hit.

Colin Hay’s own solo version of it is even better.

I bet you say that to all the boys.

We had plenty of food, the mortgage was paid

John Scalzi covered this very well over 13 years ago on his blog, in a post titled, Being Poor. I was surprised that Holly Wood didn’t seem to be familiar with it, since it’s had pretty wide circulation over the years.

You could always ask the barista to make you a grande in a tall cup. When they look at you funny, just smile, “Grandes are BOGO, talls aren’t.” Most partners I know would say, “Gotcha.
