target, take two

yesterday, i had my second trip to target (aka tar-zhay) in as many weeks. now, it's not exactly far, but it's not up the street either. and as much as i bitch about 'the man' and big business, i flock to this place, and only this place, like a moth to a flame. 'it's cheaper there! the help isn't that exploited! spaghettio's for only .75 cents!'

and yesterday, i got up at the ass-crack of dawn, like a shot, at 530. tried to fall back asleep, to no avail, so at 630, i just gave in and got up and started my day. i thought for sure i'd be spent by noon, but i was humming all day long. maybe i've been getting too much sleep lately, who knows. either way, got home from work, still chimed up, got some stuff together for errands, still chimed up, then i got to the lightbulb wing of tar-zhay and 1. crashed whilst 2. having an episode. can someone tell me why the hell g.e. and philips only make indoor FLOOR not SPOT lights? hmm? why? WHY? i HATE frosted bulps, crystal clear only! to be different, and because it was nearing ten and i just had to get out of there because people were blasting the test radios and small children were having meltdowns, i bought the 'reveal' line of bulbs from 'ok, we DID pollute the hudson river, and are only now admitting it' g.e., this purple-tinted line that is supposed to make 'colors appear as they really are.' great. so this morning, i am blinded by this soft, albeit accurate, light, that makes my apartment look dirty and me look pasty. great. thanks, g.e.

now bring back the goddam spot lights, won't you?!
