"I've got a fever and the only prescription is more...fever? No, that can't be right."

If I could always find everything I was looking for at Borders, I'd be in real sorry shape. When it comes to impulse buying? I really have no control over myself. Honestly. I'll go to the grocery store for a carton of milk and end up walking out with a box of chocolates shaped like various heads of state. And I won't remember buying it. It's like my shopper's guilt helps me black out. So, again, thank god I have really eclectic tastes and that most stores rarely carry exactly what I'm looking for. Like, today, for instance. I was at work and I suddenly thought that it would be really cool to check next door at the FYE to see if they had either Jumping Off Bridges, or Ready? Okay!, you know, just to see, because I just wanted to look and, hey, no skin off my nose if they didn't have them.

They didn't have them.

I think it's because you have to special order both of them through their Web sites. However, this is a very bland explanation. I prefer to think that my future!self is traveling back in time in order to be in every store I'm going to, five minutes before I arrive, pulling merchandise off the shelves before I can see it.

Did you know that in the original Back to the Future script, the time machine was actually a refrigerator, not a DeLorean? The writers changed it because they didn't want to hear about a whole bunch of kids playing inside of refrigerators. Hey, I wonder if John DeLorean ever stored his cocaine in his refrigerator. That would be kind of ironic.
