12 June
I hate my local McDonald's, I really do.
I have become used to its horrors, but it really does drive me buggy. I woke up at 10.45a, knowing that I probably wouldn't get anything, but decided to give it a shot, so I threw on my clothes and ran over, getting there at about 10.53a, and they were serving breakfast and they were serving breakfast, and then, at 10.57a they stopped serving breakfast.
Right when I got to the front of the line.
They always either stop serving it or run out or whatever, not caring whether there are a million people wanting breakfast or not. They start lunch, they put a million hamburger patties on the grill, whether everyone is begging for breakfast or not.
They are big meanies!
So I went to the store and got a Jimmy Dean sausage biscuit and some frozen hash brown patties, and cooked them at home. A poor substitute. If there's one thing that McDonald's does better than almost anyone is sausage biscuits and hash brown patties.
So the other week, I decided that the thing that I really needed was a little small cheap old fashioned rag rug.
With the cheap damn linoleum in this apartment, my chair is always tearing it up, so I decided that what I really needed was a little small cheap old fashioned rag rug, you know, my mom has about twenty of them in her house, that kind.
I went to about five stores, and it was as though I were looking for the holy grail or something. I mean, there were rugs, there were carpets, but way too big and way to expensive--it seemed that a little small cheap old fashioned rag rug was too much to ask for, and if I ever found one I'd probably have to pay about fifty bucks or something.
Today, when I was in the store getting my poor substitute for a McDonald's breakfast, I saw a big pile under a sign saying:
"Rag Rugs 99¢"
So there you go, if you need a little small cheap old fashioned rag rug, don't go to a house wears store, don't go to an accessories store, look next to the grapefruit in New Jersey and there they will be!
Got this email in response to my 10 June entry, where I was whining about not being linked in Matt's journal (though I am now!). Just goes to show that you get what you give.
"So yesterday this guy Matt posted this funny little message to Diary L, asking people to check out his diary, and I usually ignore these entreaties, not exactly having any more time to read another damn journal, but it caught my eye, and then someone wrote thanking him for a link to her journal, so I raced over quick like a little bunny (not rabbit), and..."
Excuse me while I wipe away my tears and cough up some more phlegm, for I am the "her" in the aforementioned "her journal."
So I ask of you, hath not a "her" have feelings? Hath not a "her" have a name? Doth a "her" not bleed when mentioned but unlinked?

Hey, wait a minute...I've been had!
