I got 900 words in on Valet of Anize, I'm considering that a success for the night. :P But I'm not posting them yet because if I'm lucky tomorrow I get to write a kickass scene I actually want to write! Hooray!

I had some business to do at my bank (lord how grownup I sound) and then swung by Trader Joe's for some bread and Weber Grill for a nice celebratory dinner. And then I came home and collapsed from omg so much food.

I had the most bizarre encounter at Trader Joe's, where an enormously tall dredlocked woman on rollerblades saw me checking out, buying a single loaf of bread, and scoffed at me like I'd just farted on the playground or something.

"THAT'S all you're BUYING?" she said.

"Uh. I needed bread," I said, totally bewildered by the GIANT PERSON ON SKATES mocking me for my food choices. Then she sniffed at me and SKATED AWAY.

Clearly some people aren't secure in the concept of "ten items or less".

THIS is the kind of person who has 1,325 pope hats.

Just in case you were wondering.

I suspect if the pope hat guy's wife weren't Catholic, she'd be asking for a divorce right about now.

Also, his sales technique could use work: "This hat won't fit you, and if it does, it will itch like a mofo and possibly give you a rash. Buy 1,324 more and save!" So enticing!

Exactly!

He needs to make a LinkedIn and network more effectively to sell these hats.

He can tell people they're regal and charming, and perfect for Halloween (if you have a smallish head).

I am near tears I am laughing so hard at that. My goodness, I really don't know why I think that is SO FUNNY. I think it's the bit about dogs not wearing them (maybe really NICE dogs - or cats; WTF!!!).

Thank you so much for linking to that.

YW!

It's just... I hope this is a real person who had too many pope hats. I need this to be true.

For serious. I'm tempted to try to purchase and distribute them but I do not have the means here in Boston. Ah well!
