Two salads get into it. Fists up, ready to fight to the death. One says to the other lettuce works this out.

Orange steps in - wtf - orange you going to even ask my opinion?

Tomato there says wait a minute I'm just trying to ketchup on what's going on here, and this whole thing started because celery couldn't stop stalking me.

Needs work I know you guys are corny as fuck.
 
One thing I do at work every morning is take a pick up truck which we park in the warehouse overnight, outside.

One thing that comes out of that is hearing things on the radio. Obviously I get whatever the last person who drove it listens to. A couple times I have gotten religious programming. Not sure who was responsible for that. Most often I get classic rock. Sometimes talk. Sometimes I get pop which is what I got yesterday.

Now I have been hearing the name Taylor Swift for a fair length of time now. She is a pretty big name in pop culture in general, plus her name comes up regularly in the cheap smarm and gossip bits of the newspaper I buy every day. As a result, I know a few alleged things about her relationship history. I could also talk about some of her songs. I havent heard the songs but I know the stories behind a few of them because apparently she writes songs for revenge against former boyfriends also critics - and people like to speculate who the various songs are about. The name John Mayer comes up often.

ANYWAY, the song that was on yesterday morning in the truck, I had never heard before, but I recognized it right away as Taylor Swift because the lyrics were straight from gossipy articles I have recently read. Something about: we will never ever ever get back together blah, blah, blah. For all my Taylor Swift awareness, it might be the first I have heard of her music beyond a little snippet from a TV commercial awhile back.

So let me now say this about the music of Taylor Swift:



Bloody awful.
 
There was one line in the song which was something like: So you're listening to some indy record - I guess that's cooler than my stuff.

Now, if proper logic is to be applied, one has to say it depends on which specific indy record we are talking about. It is theoretically possible there is an indy record that is less cool than Taylor Swift music.

But still, she is almost definitely right about that.
 
Also, I made an important life change this week.

I love my Tim Hortons coffee and I finally said, Screw it. Im going to stop making a travel mug of coffee at home in the morning - Im going to stop at Tims instead. My home coffee is like dirty hot water. This XL Tims with double cream is a spiritual experience.



I dont care if it adds 10 bucks a week to my budget. What am I living for if not this?
 
I went to a Tim Horton's when I was in college (and I was drunk). My friend and I ordered Timbits and left her boyfriend to pay for them because we were laughing too hard at "timbits" to do much of anything in line. We went into the bathroom and laughed hysterically over the word "timbits" for another ten minutes. Falling over laughing. Her boyfriend said that they could hear everything out at the counter. Yup, I'm still that cool of a drunk.
 
Eerily similar to an experience I remember from high school. Walked into a Tim Horton's on acid and simply could not order due to uncontrollable laughing. And it was Timbits we were looking for too. I can't remember who they were for - surely we were not going to eat them ourselves on acid - but whatever, we were on a Timbit gathering mission.

Mission aborted. Eventually just had to leave. Order never got placed.
