It's better than it was, though. Before Quizno's, the layout was an exercise in stupidity.

I don't mind the Supermart, but they seem to have a problem stocking the shelves. Too many times I go in there and they're out of everything.

i think 86'ing the pharmacy was a good first step. it needed to go, nowhere near as good as a cvs, walgreens, or even osco.

when they redid it in 96, and doubled in size, all the new space, ALL OF IT, became grocery store, and the old grocery store reverted to more hallmark type shit. i never understood that. i did not expect them to start selling steaks and produce, but, i mean, how about somre more foods, cleaners, stuff like that??

i have not been in since the quizno's went in, where did it go in there? where the pharmacy part was, or what? what is the layout now?

quiznos towards broadway on the rounded part of the building towards 11th (not familiar with the pharmacy layout)

I actually am surprised sometimes with how much stuff they do have.

The city needs to drop its silly restriction about church proximity, so the QHSM can start selling beer. Then, downtown would be perfect.

Yeah, the cards didn't usually have people lined up out the door and around the side of the building, for lunches.

That c-ctore is nice, but unless I want to walk down the rickety 12th street viaduct(and back up it), I'm going to have to get in my car to get there.

Sure, I could take the bus to get down there and back, but for all that hassle, I could just go to the real store.

Ever since that guy got squished against the barrier by a truck making a turn a few years ago, I have vowed never to walk that bridge.

And that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

Watching "Freaks and Geeks," I was a Cindy Sanders fan for the whole time, until she spoke out against "The Jerk." What kind of evil mind can dislike "The Jerk?"

I get a belly laugh just reading quotes from the movie.

Some movies should be watched with any future mate before marrage. The Jerk is on that list.

These two lines from the bedroom scean maybe the one of the funnyist things on film.
I know we've only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days. And the fifth day you went to see your mother and that seemed just like a day, and then you came back and later on the sixth day, in the evening, when we saw each other, that started seeming like two days, so in the evening it seemed like two days spilling over into the next day and that started seeming like four days, so at the end of the sixth day on into the seventh day, it seemed like a total of five days. And the sixth day seemed like a week and a half. I have it written down, but I can show it to you tomorrow if you want to see it.


and
You look so beautiful and peaceful, you almost look dead. And I'm glad, because there's something I want to say that's always been very difficult for me to say.

You can tell a lot about a person by how live. And I can see from looking around here that you're a genuinely dirty person.
