Man, I can't believe I forgot to write about this. On Wednesday, 7-11-07, Marcus and I visited the Kwik-E-Mart over at 3rd and Broadway (a converted 7-11 promoting the upcoming Simpsons Movie release) after I got off work and on his lunch break. Why do I remember the day? Because July 11th every year is apparently free slurpee day and the place was packed! Of course, I had to purchase some KrustyO's and some Buzz cola. I tried to take a picture of my cashier, but Marcus forgot to dump photos off the camera before we went and the memory card was full. After dumping some off, the darned battery decided to die, so I had to go back a few days later to get additional pics.

What really cracked me up is that Kwik-E-Mart is spelled wrong on the receipt. Go check out my photos over at my Kwik-E-Mart gallery and see for yourself.

I really wanted to get pictures of Marcus by Homer and stuff, but he was being a stick in the mud and wouldn't pose. Hmph. At least there is a picture of me there to prove we were really there and not just taking other people's pics off the Internet or something.

On a related note, my friend Julie posted about the one they have in her town of Henderson, NV. There is also a video in the extended from Erns World of that same Kwik-E-Mart.

In case you were wondering, the Buzz cola tasted like crap. instead of getting a major soda manufacturer like Coke or Pepsi to produce it, it tastes like that generic crap you can get. Bleh.

Wait—here’s more »

No spoilers ahead.

Well, I finished reading the book about a half hour ago. I've been mulling over my feelings about it. I've got one word: unsatisfied.

I'm going to bed.

It's here!

This is it, folks! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows day! Those who bought their books at midnight are happily reading away while I (not-so-)patiently wait for the postal employee to deliver mine.

Fortunately, I have a few errands to run this morning that will eat up a bit of my time. I also need to get to seriously promoting the Blogathon. That's just a week away. I need to finish up my new template and put up links to my gracious sponsors. It's going to be a busy weekend!

I hope I'm not disappointed in how it all turns out. I have to keep reminding myself that it's only a book and these aren't real people. I know many characters are slated to die, even a few we've come to love. I just hope that the ending isn't one of those like you see on fan fictions sites where everything ties up too nicely at the end and you shake your fist shouting, "Things don't wrap up that nicely in real life." Wait, this isn't real life...must keep reminding myself of that. Anyway, I'll know how it all finished up by this time tomorrow.

I'll share this Joy of Tech cartoon that was posted yesterday. Remember yesterday how I said Marcus has been telling me the ending? Apparently his idea was rejected (lol) — his ending (more or less) is in the final pane.
