guitar randomness

today, Rob (my roomate) and I made a journey to Stop and Shop. We got a lot of stuff. We both got the hand carts instead of carriages, and that turned out to be a mistake. But anyway, first to the walk there.

We went to the music store in search of guitar stings, because I popped my low E the other day when I was playing. As opposed to when I was whacking my guitar against an intruder. So I needed to get a new one. And I figured, hey, why not get a whole new set of strings, what with me getting the guitar with them on it over two years ago, and I don't know how long they were on before that. So I got some, after a guy helped me figure out which ones to get. Martin acoustic lights and no, I'm not buying cigarettes.

So then we went to a jewler's store to see if they had watch pins, because one popped last week when I was playing ultimate, and my watch fell off, and it was messy. But, the jewler's stores we went to were closed, except for one that seemed open, but had some weird sign on the door saying something about "called police" and "tear gas," I shit you not so I decided not to go in there.

We got to Stop and Shop, and got the aforementioned baskets, that ended up being way too small, because we got too much stuff. For example, I got four bags of pizza flavored goldfish. Why? Because I can. I like having lots of food. So people can take it all. Wait, that's not it.

Anyway, on the way back with vastly overflowing backpacks and not because we stole anything, that stuff just didn't take up that much room, we saw a sign on a computer store window. It said *ahem*

We convert Beta tapes to VHS format. We convert 8 milimeter tapes to VHS format. We convert VHS tapes to VHS format.

And the mispelling of millimeter was on the sign. seriously. As was "we convert VHS tapes to VHS format." I mean it.

But we stopped laughing, eventually, and walked back to our room to put stuff away, because it was heavy.
