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?

I'm way, way late to the party... But if you go inside Tinseltown and use the automated ticket machines you never need an ID to get the student price.

Yes, I am the master of saving myself $1.75.
