I was going to finish up 2010 by cranking out one more article, but I'm the most distracted writer ever and didn't finish in time. Then I was going to start 2011 out with a new article, but I turned on the TV and next thing I knew it was time to go back to work. It doesn't help that this article is a review of a TV episode, because those are the worst gnaw-away-ers at my attention. I've never made a TV show, so I find it hard to critique those who did. However, without the critique it becomes more of a play-by-play of the episode and that's no fun for anyone. So now it's Tuesday and the article is only half done. Damn you Golden Girls marathon.

I'd probably have finished tonight if I didn't decide to go grocery shopping and waste 2 hours and $110. I  picked up a food scale, so I can tell you I purchased 7lbs 3oz of bananas at my new love, Aldi. Then I stopped at the grocery outlet because lately they've had these generic tissues with awesome designs on them for 79¢.



I blow my nose 5,000 times a day so tissues are a big deal for me and I need a box for every room in the house. I love finding boxes with awesome designs on them, which are in abundance during "back to dorm" sales in August-September, but return to pictures of daisies and polka dots immediately afterwards. Even during that window, cute tissue boxes are always brand names and costs more rupees than I can made during money making game.

These particular tissues are "no name" tissues in the very literal sense. It boggles my mind that a company that goes out of it's way to print cute pictures of Cadillacs on the side of their tissues boxes doesn't want to be bothered with making up a phony brand name.
