CABS

Exercise:I'm not sure anything I did today actually counts as exercise.
Voice:I'm working on Philo. Just got the practice CD.
Reading:Well, not Shakespeare, but I'm working on Stick River Road.
Participation:100
Description(if above 89):I kept cool and got a lot done while leading/teaching people. I feel accomplished.

I really want to go see the Colin & Brad show. I've been scrolling through WLIIA episodes, and it would be frickin' awesome to see it live, if possible. Even better would be if I could be part of it by being in the orchestra, and getting onstage. This is me. This is me fantasizing. Meow. So yeah. I'm gonna work on getting that money, while simultaneously saving a whole lot more money.

It's 2 bucks for 5 extra ounces...

My town has a farmer's market. Very commonplace sort of thing, yes, but today I ended up on the pickles line because of one of my friends. I ran into her, and she wanted pickles, so it's only natural that that's where I found myself.

Anywho, I found the guy running the stand fascinating. He had some of the best showmanship I've seen in a while. He was selling these pickled mushrooms, pickled tomatoes, pickled peppers, pickled pickles, and boy was he doing a good job of it.

And just to prove this, the title of the blog is something he said repeatedly that stuck in my mind. He was very effectively advertising his pickles and how cheap they were. It's sort of a skill that's evaporated over time. I wish more people would use it. It's quite fun. Plus, they'd make more money. Now I should learn it. I'll watch him next week.

P.S. Sorry if I'm a bit over-obbsessive with the tags. :P
