Letdowns

Borders' science section is lame! Last time I went to Borders I was overall disappointed, and it took me forever to find something worth buying. I went in looking for The Panda's Thumb by Stephen Gould, Lies We Live By by Carl Hausman and Astral Projection for Dummies by Shirley MacLaine (well, not so much the last one). So I should've found something, right? But it took ten years. In fact, I'm still there right now.

Speaking of disappointment, I went to Starbucks this morning and ordered the usual. That's a fat-free white chocolate mocha with whipped cream, because the fat-free milk and whipped cream cancel out each other, you see, making a nutritionally neutral drink just the way I like it. But do you know what the barista chick told me? They were out of white mocha! I know! It was like 8 in the morning! My head almost exploded. As a matter of fact, the sheer incongruity created enough force to tear a hole in the fabric of the space-time continuum, creating a vortex that everyone almost got sucked through! All because they didn't have my white chocolate mocha! (shudder) These are scary days my friend.
