Does anyone else think I am relying a little too much on Subway right now?

Yeah, me too.

I actually went there today because I was bored. I had nothing to do, I needed something to do, and the only thing I know how to do right now is work out and go to Subway. I had already worked out for the day.

The fairly new guy there, good natured and likeable but not that smart, mistakenly put a few extra pieces of chicken on my sandwich. It wasn't quite double meat, but not too far off. They gave it to me like that. I could have spoken up, but what would have been the point?

In order to keep calories in check, I divided the sub up into two meals. Good move, Dan. I'm smart for doing that. I wish I could do that all the time. Check that. I wish I WOULD do that all the time.

Remember, it's all about choices.

Just to clarify one thing from yesterday. I didn't actually buy tampons at the hick grocery store. Nor did I buy nudie magazines or condoms (the ones I have are slowly rotting away; why would I need new ones?) My exact purchase was a laxative, skim milk, and a bottle of shampoo. If you want, I'll scan the receipt and post it. I went for a joke there, you see. It was a Simpsons reference that I can't exactly remember. But Homer has to buy something embarrassing from the Kwik E Mart and, in order to make it seem nonchalant, he also gets nudie magazines, condoms, tampons, and several other embarrassing items. That was the joke I was going for. Yes I know, if you have to explain it, it isn't funny. Just remember, people, this blog is free.

By the way, the South Park episode where Cartman pretends to be retarded to get into the Special Olympics is on. It is also the one where Jimmy takes steroids. In my mind, this is the best South Park ever, if only because Jimmy, with his stutter, utters the line "You're not leaving me! I'll fucking kill you bitch!" or something to that effect. If you generally think vulgarities are funny, then you have to admit they are 10 times funnier when spoken by a handicapped boy with a stutter. Maybe not, though. Maybe that's just me.
