Stuff

Full moon stuff: I wasn't on-call, so I did not have to deal with the woman whom I had talked to the previous week. She had no money last week, so she did not bring the cat in. Sadly for Dr. M, she decided on Christmas day that the cat had to be seen, even though she still had no money. Good way to save money there, ma'am.

Today I am reminded that Safeway's produce department is, as they say, "teh suck". I went to find stuff with which to make fruit salad, but they have no mangoes, no peaches, no grapes, no bananas ripe enough to eat right now that are not so ripe they should just be made into bread.

Nobody warned me that the ending of the Dark Materials trilogy is a very sad thing that makes me sad. Bad monkeys! So I am cheering myself back up by reading the sequel to New Coyote, Coyote Season. Coyote always makes me laugh.

It is snowing again. It is knee-deep and coming down like crazymad. Very pretty. Sadly, the 4-wheel drive linkage in the work truck seems to be getting cranky. Hopefully I will not get stuck out in the middle of nowhere in a snowbank.

Now I eat dinner.

That is all.

Safeway's produce has sucked nationwide for decades. I'm not sure why they're still in business, but I think it has something to do with locations and prices.

They're in business here because they're the only grocery within 30 miles :(

Yeah, Safeway is bad. Also, around here, it's the more expensive of the two big chains. (Not that King Soopers has great produce either. I've taken to buying mine in bulk at CostCo every 2-3 weeks and eating it before it turns.)

As for His Dark Materials: you didn't ask. The ending was both sad and really weird. (Weird as in, "I'm not sure Pullman really knew what was going on and why anymore.")

Heh. You weren't the one that rec'd it to me, so you're not to blame for my being sideswiped by sadness. :P

I thought it fit in, actually. It wasn't weird/tacked-on (like, say, the ending of The Horse Whisperer!), just the same sort of weird as the rest of the story had been, in a sad and frustrating way.

I'm kinda sad that "Golden Compass" did so poorly, because I was really looking forward to watching someone try to make the 2nd and 3rd books into coherent movies when they were barely coherent books. I like them a lot, but they get to the point where they barely fit together as a story.
