so tonight i went over to the radio shack at the mall to get a special kind of battery, a 12v. it’s never good when you ask the salesgirl at radio shack a specific question “i’m looking for a 12v battery” and she looks at you as if you are speaking another language. she works there, isn’t she supposed to kind of know where stuff is? anyway, in the midst of her wondering what i was talking about, i spotted what i needed behind the counter. i bought it while she was awkwardly trying to flirt with me. how can you make a 12v battery a topic of conversation? i was just trying to be nice, not pick up the radio shack girl who wasn’t my type. anyway, the entire experience took about 20 minutes, to and from. obviously if you want a non crowded mall shopping experience, it’s best to go on a wednesday night at 7:30.

also, on the way out, i was walking through jcpenney and was asked by one of the kids working there for my opinion on something. one of his co-workers had these crazy gold dress shoes on. not glittery, kind of that old gold color. he asked me whether or not the shoes looked stupid, i guess because they were too flashy for him. i looked at the shoes on the kid, i looked at the kid, and said “those look good, they match your shirt” (which they did). it totally made the kid’s night, and then the guy that had stopped me tried to make me feel bad by saying “man, i thought you were my bro…” his disappointment serves him right for trying to embarrass his co-worker…that or he was looking for justification of not wearing the golden shoes to work first.

i started my online class tonight. i downloaded the entire lecture, and watched the first 15 minutes of it. i need to get a notebook before i watch the class in its entirety. the people in the actual class on campus are lucky, they have the option of going or just watching the video. why would anyone actually go to the class all the time? i wish i had that option when i was in school.
