so, as my senior project, i have to research and write about the cost of food and its relationship to malnutrition (both under and over nutrition). so i decided to go to a bunch of markets in santa cruz to compare produce prices, make a survey for ppl to fill out, and interview some of the survey takers. so far, i've only gone to 3 markets and haven't even typed out the survey yet. ah well... i guess i should do that soon though. eh.. not too worried about it. i've trained myself to procrastinate successfully. clearly can't spell. but i can procrastinate.
so anyways, i went to safeway on monday to write down the prices. guess how long it took me. THREE HOURS!! why three?? well, it's probably got to do with the insane amount of produce, seeing someone i know and stopping to talk, and needing to take a break from writting down prices. also, for most produce, there was a price for club members and for non members. bah.. made me not want to go to the mexican market and whole foods-ish market today. but i went. b/c it had to be done. the mexican market frustrated me so much! why don't you have prices marked? and even if you do, why don't you write all the vegetable names in one language? (i'd prefer english but i guess their customers are mostly spanish speaking). but whatever. it's like the vegetables were pretending to be john kerry or something with all the flip flopping. the whole foods-ish market was cool though. didn't frustrate me. didn't make me go crazy. makes me feel better about going to other markets now. except that i know there's an albertson's. i see that taking three hours also. ah well.

side note: i'm watching leno as i write this and a guy is promoting his documentary. on comb overs!! hehehehehehe!!! i wanna watch it! were was i when this came out that i didn't know about it? it's called comb-over: the movie. HEHEHEHE!!!

i've decided that i want to be a piccaso painting for holloween. but i have to work until 10 on both saturday and sunday nights. i don't know if i'll end up doing it. it would be a cool costume though. i haven't decided if i want to be part of his blue period or if i want to go with his cubism yet. if i can't do it, someone should. but my friend might make a haunted house. so i might go off and visit. and my cousin, her husband, and baby are visiting for a week so i think i'll go home at some point to visit them or they'll come here to see my school. whichever. i want them to come here though. b/c i think santa cruz is pretty. where else can you be on a mountain on campus and still be about a mile away from the ocean?
