Monday a la Mode

This is Jason Falkner’s sister, as verified by the man himself.

I decided to go the Amazon route with my birthday cash.

See, I did indulge that restless whim yesterday. That is, I hit Grapevine Mills Mall looking for the jacket I want.

First a guy tried to sell me one with a backwards zipper and a missing button for $60. I actually considered it for some reason. “This is made in India, not like those Chinese jackets.” Dude, the quality on this Indian jacket is a bit lacking…

So I hit the Wilson’s Leather outlet store. Found what I wanted for about $80… and decided against it.

I loaded up at Amazon. In the coming days I should have lots of packages full of goodies. Howlin’ Wolf DVD, BB King DVD, Bukka White CD…

And I did order that rare Jason Falkner double CD from Japan… they only charged me $4 shipping. Maybe they misunderstood the exchange rate or something.

My cube is all decorated in yellow and green streamers with balloons and monkey images. My coworkers went with my “Monkey Paw” nickname for the theme. Oh, and there’s a can of Beefaroni the size of a Shetland pony. It’s an in-joke.

But I appreciate it. This place is so much better than BACS…!

Tonight’s goal for dinner is to pick a place that either offers apple pie or peach cobbler (a la mode on both counts, of course). I don’t care if it’s an all emu steakhouse or something.

Busy week here. Happy Monday, ya’ll.
