mmm, near-dated goldfish...

I'm up in NJ for Easter, visiting the Rents. Needing an excuse to get out of the house, I decided to trek up the Pepperidge Farm thrift store that's 15 minutes or so away from them. It's in a surprisingly nice strip mall, next to a Starbucks.

Total spent - $18.12 for 5 loaves of bread, 3 packs of goldfish/deli flats, 2 packs of cookies, and a dozen individual packs of Goldfish. Half of the stuff was for the parents, the rest for me. I would have bought more, but I don't have much room in my freezer at home... and didn't really need a box of, say, 18 blueberry muffins....

I found the problem with the computer.. there's a hardware bug

Last week, I bought a circa 2001 Apple G4 Cube at a surplus computer auction at Penn State University. I paid $75, which is a fair price. I've always thought they were nifty. It didn't have an airport card, but I found one in a junked TiBook at work. I went to install it today and discovered that my mac came with a little friend... a dead bug of some sort.

I hope this isn't a sign the neighborhood is going downhill...

This flier for a car service was tucked under my door today. I for one do not need a car service to drive me to visit my loved ones in prison... and I kind of hope my neighbors don't either.

This is why I'm fat...

I had to get the Danger Ranger emission tested, so I did that this morning. The closest emissions testing place to me is in Eastern Baltimore, in the industrial wasteland near Pulaski Highway - filled with junkyards, strip clubs, and check-cashing joints. After passing the emissions test, I decided to treat myself to a sandwich from Chapps (as seen on the food network), which is scenically located in the parking lot of a strip club.

This is what I got - the "Jenny" - ham, turkey, and sausage on a sub roll. $8. And who knows how many calories.

Does it also keep twilight fans away?

I like Trader Joe's, the hard to categorize discount gourmet retailer. Mostly because they have a ton of convenient, reasonably priced, tasty, and not too unhealthy foods. But also because it's a fun place to shop, and it's signs like this that make it fun. You never see Giant promoting the anti-vampire properties of their vegetables.

What stuff did Anthony see?

So what is Stuff Anthony Saw? Basically, it's a photoblog of random stuff I've taken pictures of with my iPhone as I live my life.

Over a year ago, I had started a similar photoblog, iAnthony, inspired by a co-worker's blog. I kept it up for a while but eventually it languished, and then blew up when I tried to move it from ftp to blogger hosting. iAnthony was intended to be a daily photoblog. I don't expect this to be daily, but whenever I have stuff I want to post and comment on.
