On a personal, "some schmuck in cyberspace," note: Julie and I went grocery shopping last-night. We typically do this about once a month. We blow 200 bucks and get a shitload of food that lasts us most of the month. Three interesting things came out of this shopping trip. First it made me realize how domestic I have become. Earlier in the week Julie had bought a GALLON JUG of milk from the 7-11, and this freaked me out because it seemed SO grown up. We were actually going though enough milk to warrant buying gallons of it. Then at the grocery store we bought like 3 dozen eggs. But as I realize how domestic it all was I also realized how much FUN I was having shopping with Julie. True love is when you have fun with someone in the grocery store. Second, it dawned on me just how much CHEESE we buy. I love cheese. It is really one of the greatest things about this world. And Julie and I eat ALOT of cheese.

Thats is seven and a half pounds of cheese. We've got 2 types of parmesan, 2 types of cheddar, cream cheese, mozzarella, baby swiss, gouda, and 2 shredded blends. DAMN do I LOVE cheese. And thirdly we discovered one of those products that can only be described as an abomination of god.

Thats right Safeway Select Red Licorice Soda. It is too red and smells exactly like Red Vines. Oddly enough it TASTES exactly like Red Vines as well. So it achieves its goal of being red licorice soda, but I'm not sure if that is good or bad. I certainly don't enjoy drinking it, but maybe some gin will help in that department.
