Continuing the theme of Triviality

My son has a "bath book" made entirely of plastic. It's currently lying open on the living room floor to the two pages with a circle and a square. As I walk by I keep thinking "Circle gets the square!" a la Hollywood Squares. Have you ever watched an old ep of Hollywood Squares on Game Show Network, like from the 70s? There's a smartass gay man in the middle of the gameboard, usually, making risque remarks to great hilarity.

Listening to: "Whole Wide World" by Wreckless Eric, "Away Away" by Northern State

Reading: Mimi Smartypants (blog,) and Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

Other activities: packing for weekend at Whidbey, making slow-cooker vegetarian paella and pasta salad.

Defining Terms

So I'm filling out an online survey regarding my recent visit to JC Penney's, and because I noted I was "highly dissatisfied" with their changing rooms, I've entered an offshoot (like choose your own adventure!) of the survey where they ask me to detail the condition of the changing rooms. Interestingly, one can only select one item from the list to justify one's high level of dissatisfaction, when my dissatisfaction is two-fold. But the most important factor for me was the dusty filth coating the floor, so this was my selection:

"Dirty - was not clean"

As if you needed a refresher on what dirty means.

This is the most trivial of the 27 things I have considered blogging about in the last three months. I apologize. But at least I'm back.
