Costco/CVS Run, And My Week Two Fantasy Football Updates
Quick blog entry tonight…my head hurts.
- I had a roto chicken/cheese danish/assorted junk food-in-bulk craving, so we ran off to Costco. We also swung by CVS, where I could only score some FAECB Excedrin medicine.
The Excedrin medicine has caffeine in it, though! Oh well, it might make an interesting pairing with my Advil P.M. pills 
At Costco, over in the baked foods section, I was looking for a box of cheese danishes, when I noticed what looked like a new offering. It turns out, though, that Costco now offers their cheese danishes in a six-pack, round metal tray, called a “Danish Pull Apart.”
Pretty cool, I suppose, although it would be cooler if the six-pack of danishes didn’t cost only a buck less—$4.99 versus $5.99—than the original nine-pack.
Even freaking Costco is not immune from the Consumerist-dubbed “Grocery Shrink Ray!” NOOOOOOOOOOO…
(Speaking of higher costs, do you want a sure sign of the apocalypse? Two weeks ago, I swung by one of those Glacier Water machines, stuck five quarters into the coin slot, hit the “5 Gallons” button, and wondered why nothing was coming out of the spout. I took a closer look at the machine, and saw that a gallon was now thirty cents!
Thirty cents??? Back in the early 90s, when I would go, with my dad, to fill up several of those five-gallon bottles, one gallon of filtered water was twenty cents. A few years back, it went up to twenty-five cents, and now thirty? OMFG!!!
And please save your inflation/cost of materials/etc. arguments :P)
I also couldn’t resist a tub of seafood dip, some frozen pizzas, my rotisserie chicken, and a few other necessities (honest!).
Note to self: NEVER, EVER, go back to the Costco on Sepulveda Blvd.!
- Fantasy football updates:
1) No thanks to Carson Palmer (three points), Roy Williams (four points), and no Dallas Clark (1 pt from L.J. Smith of Philly), I am now 0-2 in one league, and DEAD FREAKING LAST (and it’s not even close).
2) No thanks to the aforementioned Roy Williams, as well as Jerricho Cotchery (two points), an injured Justin Fargas (four points), and my opponent having Kurt Warner (26), Greg Jennings (16), and Clinton Portis (21), I’m now 1-1 in this league.
3) My sister joined a Yahoo! League as well, and even though her team is terrible, she’s 1-1. It helps to face a team with Tom Brady and a still-suspended Steve Smith…
4) Boy am I glad I did not draft Joseph Addai!
Too bad I (auto) drafted Steven Jackson. Sigh…
That’s it for today.
