i think everyone should watch "monk" on usa. i would never have bothered watching "monk" if a certain janice, who used to glorify the horrifying, hadn't mentioned it once. now, i can't get enough.

i think i want to be a mystery shopper. i'd be good at it because i know what good customer service does and does not look like.

good customer service: explaining that, even if i do mail in my rebate on time, there's a fairly high chance that i'll never see my $25.98 again.

bad customer service: vomiting into my open purse and then sneezing on my hot dog.

i haven't written anything, besides blog entries, for a very long time. now my fingers are starting to itch, and my brain is whirring with all of the fictional possibilities that are begging to be released. i blame several things for this lack of activity. one, the press. two, the high sodium content of canned soups. three, the fact that the people on "what not to wear" say things like "a pink shoe would complete this outfit" as opposed to "A PAIR OF PINK SHOES would complete this outfit." i mean, who's going to go out and buy just one pink shoe? how big would this one shoe have to be? it would have to fit both feet- but would it also be big enough to fit a small child? if so, we should put some wheels on this thing and call it a stroller. who's with me?

now i'm upset. if only "monk" were on.
