Work, sleep, and Raisin Bran

Raisin Bran, although tasty and nutritious, in it’s current incarnation has a glaring flaw in my opinion. On the box it professes to have “juicy” Sunmaid raisins in it. By definition a raisin should not be juicy because a raisin is a dried fruit and water is a key ingredient in juice. This is false advertising of the stupid variety. Just thought everyone should know.

I’ve not updated over the past few days because I’ve been working and then tired and/or sleeping. I’ve been running the grain elevator w/ my dad at the farm. It’s a typical 9 – 5 job in that you only actually work a total of about 1 hour. It’s different in that it really goes from 7:30 – 6 and you have to sit in the sun where it’s 100+ degrees and the flies bite you. Stupid flies are invincible and they know it. There was some other wildlife observed though. My job was to direct the dumping of the wheat so that it went into the pit, and then push the buttons so it would get put in the bin that store it. The only reason I was really needed is that I’m relatively immune to the vast quantities of dust that are blown into ones face during the job. I finished the last two Ender’s Shadow series books, so all was swell. (The books are good, but he left like 50 books open for writing, which kinda makes me antsy)

The only activity that I’ve participated in besides the work described above and sleep was going to a BBQ my friend Steve did. That event involved me eating a sausage and making a few witty and snide comments before falling asleep on their couch while they played poker. I had no money.

I’m going out to eat tonight with my family. The occasion is that we have coupons and they’re going to expire. Mom’s been using expired ones for about a week now with great success though, so I don’t know what the deal is.
