Do I Hear Insane Bargain? Anyone, Insane Bargain? Going Once, Twice, Sold!

How much would you pay for lunch with Principal Sharon Cross at Magiano's? I would pay $3.50, which I did, along with 5 other seniors. What a steal...what should we talk about? Maybe it will be after graduation...that would be glorious.

The auction dance was rather dull...really dull. A whole lot of items went for really low prices, while some stupid people paid extravagant amounts of cash on Cubs tickets...don't get me started. The socializing for 30 minutes was fun (got my groove on), but the auction fun only lasted 40 minutes...then the auction boredome went on for 2 hours. But, I had a relatively good time, until the end when I stuck my foot in my mouth and made a completely embarassed fool out of myself. If you want to know more, talk to me. If I like you, I'll tell you. If I don't like you, don't talk to me.

My random thought just struck me: why does AOL say "You've got mail"? That annoys the crap out of me! The "got" is totally unnecessary; it's redundant. Of course you got what you have, or vice versa. Though "got" can't stand on its own, "have" can, and should. It should be "You have mail." There, much better.

4/23 = Maddux "has got" his first WIN as a Cub since 1992. It's his 290th on the 90th anniversary of Wrigley Field's first game. Whoohoo. Don't pay $740 for 6 tickets...boo! It was a 3-1 victory, sparked by Alou's first inning 2run bomb, his seventh.

Random Factoid: 5 passes at Balley Fitness cost $250; they were auctioned off for $5 (together, not separately)

Pip Pip.
