Is it just me or do people in general have this weird habit of stating facts and information that everyone already knows?
For example, whenever I bring up that I like Van Morrison, I can bet money on the fact that someone will pipe up and say, "He's the one who did Brown-Eyed Girl." Or when the chemical tryptophan is discussed. Someone always, always mentions turkey. Cue the "you don't say" meme. I have no idea why, but this annoys the crap out of me. Straight up. Maybe it's the odd feeling I get of someone assuming I didn't know something like that. Like, that I wouldn't know what one of my favorite artist's most popular songs was or that I had never had a class in chemistry. I doubt those were their intentions. I don't know. Just some way I feel, maybe. Just a thought.
In other news, my job has been going well. Distinctly job-like. Everyone at home is doing alright. We got a new rug for the living room and the cat loves it. We found it on the curb along with a sweet box of craft stuff and some pots for plants. I might get some herb starters from the store, or some succulents. Maybe even some ferns or flowers. As for the box of craft stuff, among the various items there was a really nice general craft book and a bag full of decorative corn husks. I've always wanted to try my hand at making corn husk dolls, so that may happen in the near future.
So, I got out of the house the other day and went to this tiny bookstore down the road. It was alright, but they seemed to have more Nora Roberts, Harlequin romance, and old copies of National Geographic than anything. Why walking home I passed the legendary candy cane house, more formally known as Keana's Candyland. I went in and it was crazy murals and candy stuff everywhere. I got a free cookie for going in, too. Perks!
Time for coffee.
