Leftover Chinese’s Random Five
Ruby Wilder: My friend Brooke wrote and directed the play which runs now until August 10th. It’s dark, it’s clever, it’s funny, and there’s a gun!
Salad: After a marathon vacation where diet isn’t always the best, I’ve successfully consumed salads on a near daily-basis. I’m starting to grow weary of eating salad at lunch or dinner, but what I do know is that my body appreciates the bird food.
Chicago Fire Soccer: A long trek to seldom visited Bridgeview, IL featured two fubol squads battling to a 0-0 tie. Whew. Much to my surprise, a riot did not ensue. As for the quality of the game, it seemed like more goals should have been scored…like more than none.
Redbox: So you go to the grocery store, press a few buttons and a dvd pops out. There’s something really impersonal about renting a DVD from a vending machine, but it seems popular enough to not be routinely vandalized by teens.
Zappos.com: Sure, you take a chance ordering shoes that might not fit you, but with free shipping in both directions it’s worth a shot. I ordered a pair at 4:45pm last Tuesday and the shoes were on my doorstep by 1pm Wednesday. Enjoy it while it lasts, folks. Seems too efficient to be true.
Zappos isn’t efficient! Why spend the dollars and carbon to ship those shits all over the place when you live in a city with abundant shoe stores? It’s CONVENIENT, and because it encourages impulse purchases so efficiently, it ain’t goin’ anywhere.
Point me to a local shoe store with a sufficient stock of 11.5 EE, and I will agree.
