Yesterday I was in Target and lady asked for help connecting her DVD player, VCR and TV all together. I explained the coaxial, and a/v cables. She was grateful. She had a 2/3 yr old son with her. He was SO CUTE! She asked him if he would help her set it up when they got home. He nodded obediently and then looked at me and gave me this huge grin and shook his head. He knew what was going on. I was scared when the lady asked me for help, afraid she thought I worked there. I was wearing a blue shirt and grey pants. I have made the mistake of wearing a red shirt and khakis to Target and having to leave because people kept asking me for help. One time I was at Meijer in the frozen food section. I was wearing jeans and a shirt, not red or teal Meijer garb. I was also wearing a black vest. This woman came up to me and asked if they had more yogurt in the back. While pushing my cart, I said that I didn't work there, politely. She looked at me for 5 seconds and then said, “Fine!” and stormed off. I must look like a nice person or an employee. I think nice person because I helped some old people get some pineapple from the top shelf. They didn't have to ask me, even. Preemptive Strike! Yow!

I think that this year will be a “pink” year. One of my old coworkers, Alicia (ah-lee-cee-ah) not (ah-lee-sha), incorporated one new color into her wardrobe every year. I think this year will be “pink” not that I'm going to get pink pants or anything, but I'm going to incorporate pink accessories and accents. Can this be done? I don't know. Last year was definitely my gray year. Half of everything in my closet is gray. Well, you know gray is my favorite color. I felt so symbolic yesterday. Anyway I bought a pink/gray/black tie for $4.50 yesterday. And a blue paisley one.

I think there are birds living in my air conditioner space. One time I turned it on and blood came spraying out. Ok, that second part is a lie.

I got my appellate brief assignment the other day. We could ask who we wanted to argue against, but I wanted to get a stranger so I could rip them apart and not care. I found out I'm up against The Colleague. We were meant to be one I guess. I just wish it could be a different way, because that means one of us has to lose and that could affect our placement in the Fornoff competition next fall. I'm on the appellant's side, a girl who appealed after a motion for summary judgment after the court said that the school was allowed to ban her newspaper article under the 1st Amendment.

Crisis Averted: Jay made me a copy of Alias from Wednesday. I must write to Channel 13 ABC Toledo and tell them that they suck and I hope that mighty Shiva feasts on their rotten flesh in the end days. I hope that everyone is ok at the Jeep plant though.
