aloha!

is this blog anti-daylight savings time?

someone at work today revealed to me his love for magnum p.i. (for the record, i always thought magnum wore both a detroit tigers cap and a hawaiian shirt, but apparently that venn diagram doth not meet). thinking about hawaiian shirts reminds me of only one thing: trader joe's. i have an unabashed and unquenchable love for that place. it was the silver lining amidst those dreary days in ann arbor. sure it was snowing in may, but who gives a shit when you can hang with not only trader joe, but trader ming and trader giotto?

anyway, i was super-psyched when TJs decided to open an outpost in new york. i think this excitement lasted for about 2 months, when it dawned on me that the anxiety over whether i could reduce my trip to 8 items so i could join the express line, fighting off those pesky nyu kids buying nothing but cereal, going to a separate store to buy wine, then taking two trains to get home, oh, i dunno, seemed stupid.

joe, someday you and i will be reunited and it will feel so good.

I am sitting on my couch right now, watching Ga. Tech-UNLV, eating Trader Joe's wasabi peas. I am awesome.

update: i went to TJ's over the weekend against my better judgment and sure enough, i am still reeling from having to relinquish the extra bottle of 99 cent (!) marinara in order to join the "express" line. don't even get me started on how cheap their pomegranate juice is.

sugarpockets, now they have tuna with green curry. damn that store.

oh yes--the pommie juice is so cheap and so delicious. especially when mixed with a little Gerolsteiner water!

and tuna with green curry???!!?? yum! i will have to check that out in A2. perhaps you will get a package in the mail soon...though i can't promise it'll have a piece of a pimped snack too.
