( Yee-Haws and Hells Naws )3

Let's all give a big Hells Naw to semitrucks and their drivers. When your vehicle has multiple axles, you do not need to drive it as if it were a racecar. Also, just because your vehicle is bigger than mine, does not give you have the right to cut me off. And lastly, you can't make a left turn from the center lane. "How's my driving", you ask. Dreadful.

Yee-Haw to bountiful amounts of free coupons from Panera. Keep 'em coming. I can never get enough free pizza and soup. If you are like me, and prefer a free soup over overpriced soup, you too can recieve these coupons. All you have to do is hand over all your personal information to Panera when you sign up to use their free internet, and the coupons eventually start coming in the mail by the boat load.

Yee-Haw to urban excursions! We actually ventured outside of our comfortable suburban communities, to brave the Downtown frontier. Our mission: books, music, and shrimp tacos. Actually, the shrimp tacos were only for Mopey Mandarin, as Apathetic Arlington is more of a tofu burrito kind of girl. Needless to say, our mission was successful. A return mission in the near future is foreseen.

blinded by the lights

Self-realization:
"I hate coming to the entrance, just to get bars on my phone,
You have no new messages, so why haven't they phoned?
Menu, write message, so where are you and Simone?"
-blinded by the lights, The Streets

Why haven't they phoned? Why are they so inconsiderate? Why am I so anxious all the time?
Why is my mailbox always empty? Why do I even care? It's trivial.
Why do I always have to search for cellphone reception? Isn't the point of a cellphone, that you can use it to make a call from anywhere?
Angst? What else is new?

Suburban Slurry

Today I realized that its been too long since our last post. Here at Suburban Jacksonville, we have a ten day rule, which states that we can't go for more than ten days without blogging, but we have failed to do so. Lately, school has become a burden and has hindered us from writing as often as we would like. Unfortunately, blogging is taking a back seat. Hopefully life will slow down soon, and we will have more time to focus on the blog.

Aside from being completely overwhelmed with scholarly duties, it seems as though the suburbs have transcended to a new level of dull. The hot news in Mandarin: the new Bealls department store has finally opened. Yee-haw! As if one Bealls wasn't enough, now there are two. Not to mention, the new Bealls is only about 2 miles away from the old Bealls. Is that even necessary? Is knock down Tommy Bahama clothing in such high demand that they felt a second location was necessary?
I also believe that a new pizza place has opened next to the new Bealls. I want to check that out eventually. I don't know the name or any other details beside that they sell pizza, but if it's worthy I'll probably make mention of them again in the near future. And if it sucks, I have a coupon for a free Crispani at Panera, so I'll relay my Crispani experience. (For anyone that does not already know, Crispani is just Panera's overly pretentious term for a thin crust pizza.)
I wish I had something more relevant to write about, but it seems as if life in the suburbs has almost come to a complete standstill. I might have to go out and stir up some activity/ controversy just so I'll have something to write about.

I leave you with my list of current grievances:

1) I'm tired of idiots. Just to clarify, Penn and Teller are magicians, not scientists.
2) Animals DO have language. (not really a complaint, just something I feel adamantly about)
3) I would really appreciate it if people would stop tailgaiting me on 9A. 80 mph is fast enough. Learn to be a little patient.
4) At this very moment I am struggling with people who feel that it's necessary to watch tv with the volume all the way up. I hope you go deaf.
5) Death to the woman that works at the first ticket window at Tinseltown. I don't think you should have denied me the student price just because I couldn't find my ID. Why don't you trust me?

Wah Wah Wahn-Dixie

Stop the angry e-mails already. We're lazy and selfish and boring and busy and procrastinators. We are also girls so you boys be nice if you want your family legacy to live to see the next decade. Now, here's an update for all you wild and crazy kids.


Winn-Dixie VS. Loser-Dixie
Remember that whole "we're getting better" thing? Well, they don't seem to. Here's to all Winn-Dixie stores everywhere sucking. They are dirty, the employees are unhelpful, and I get nervous even thinking about eating their food. Which is the worst thing possible for a supermarket chain. I've been to more than my fair share of different locations, and they are all the same. I like the self-checkout lanes though; I get a kick out of those. Loser-Dixie all the way; I just can't get over it.

Lack of substance? Yes. Food poisoning? No.
