no more grocery shopping at night

Going grocery shopping at night--especially on Oscar night--seems like such a great idea, doesn't it? No cars in the parking lot, no lines in the store, you can just zip right through and get everything you want and get out... but alas, it isn't that easy, for one simple reason. And that is, after 7:00 or something, the store doesn't have any food left on the shelves. Actually, that's unjust: there must have been some things there; that's alot of shelf space to have been empty. But sale items--orange juice and bread, like--were sadly lacking. And it wasn't a fluke restocking problem, neither. I tried this late-night (well, not even late-night; late-evening maybe) plan once before with similar results. Oh well, you can't say I don't learn my lesson. I mean, you can't say I don't learn my lesson after I'm taught it twice.

And as for those Oscars: movie folk sure get excited about each other, don't they! I only wondered why the rest of the world was so interested in watching their little club meeting. Though what's his name, Billy Cristal, as Legolas was kind of cute.
