Did you guys ever go to church when you were younger? Whenever I'm in a situation where I want to laugh really hard but just can't for whatever social norm/obligation I think of how my stomach would tighten and I'd have to curl up my knees and bite my lip to keep from letting any laughing noise out during church. The moratorium on laughter in church of course only made everything funnier and turned normally mildly amusing acts of rebellion into cause for tempered breathing and Kleenex. I always cry when I laugh too hard. So I found myself in a similar situation five minutes ago when I watched this video of someone dressed up as a Tetris piece trying to “fit” into random inanimate objects on the street and in the grocery store. Of course I'm watching while ostensibly being in an "important" "meeting" about selling "passion" to "enthusiasts." OMG. As another aside, misbehaving in the grocery store is one of my favorite things to do. Todd won’t go to the store with me anymore because I embarrass him too much… aklaver + retail stores = trouble. If I’m not shoplifting, I’m busy throwing every last piece of pre-packaged shredded Sargento Sharp Cheddar Cheese from the rack into the shopping cart and then speed-walking away to the sound of Todd yelling, “Annie, we GO here.” It also doesn’t help my behavior in public that I’ve decided I’m foreign so the rules don’t apply to me and the fact that I’m already a sucker for sleek packaging… everything on American shelves is just so pretty. Ok, go watch the video, it’s really great. This trick may or may not be in the works for
And while you're watching movies, I'm going to link to this again because it's really The Best Clip Ever. Go watch it. Do it. Do it.

hi, i am worse than aphasic.
your natural ability to fuck up a grocery store?
also not embarrassing to roommates that were sometimes in charge of downtown madison's only full-service grocery store in the middle of the night. always a super time when you have to kick your best drunken friends out for opening packages of doughnut holes and stealing black-eyed peas. annie, please leave...
makes for sweet memories though.

See, I thought it was Trish that busted open the doughnut holes. It does make more sense that Annie did it. She's also known to interrogate poor Monoprix employees to determine which generic brand of coffee is the most genereux. Leave the guy alone, Craig.

it WAS trish with the doughnut holes, right? i don't have a sweet tooth. sorry that i shoplifted from your place of employment, kel.
and matt, trish is just as misbehaved as i am, she just hides it better. haha, don't call me craig.
