Spotted at a park last week.
Amusingly, my phone autocorrected “crewmate” to “cremate” while I was adding the alt text. Considering this is Among Us, it’s not that far off…

At the grocery store. TODAY.
Valentine’s Day Already?
Wow. It’s been less than a week past Christmas, and the local grocery store already has a fully stocked Valentine’s Day aisle. So much for New Year’s.
Zune Fail, Comment Win & Holiday Creep
- Weird: Zunes all over the world froze up at the same time overnight.
- Comment win: “like she was going to rip his arm off and beat his spleen to death with it. Not him; just his spleen”
- Just a quick store run – yeah along with everyone else in town.
- More holiday creep! I still need to mail Xmas gifts to people I missed! It’s still 2008!
More Holiday Creep
Spotted the following in a grocery store on Saturday, three days before Valentine’s Day.
I think the holiday decoration/candy/card industry has started selling two holidays ahead. Christmas stuff was out in October, with both Halloween and Thanksgiving ahead. Here’s Easter stuff on sale with both Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day in the future.
Decoration-wise, there’s not much between Easter and Independence Day. Sure, people get the day off for Memorial Day, but the closest you get to a themed aisle in the grocery store is that you can buy American flags in more places. After the big Fourth of July patriotic blow-out (which of course is on sale by June), the holiday-industrial complex doesn’t really get going again until October—though back-to-school sales seem to be getting earlier all the time. I wonder when they’ll start going straight into back-to-school from graduation sales?
