| Tis a magical place, it is. The Back is the place where unicorns give rides, elves hand out timely presents, and the JFK files are hidden. Little do you know but, in retail, The Back holds every product not on the shelf. Indeed, if it isn't in the store, it must be in The Back.
"I don't see any of the toilet paper on sale. Do you have any in the back?"
"Let me check... Nope, none. We're out. I'm sorry."
:looking into the stock room: "What's that over there?"
"Bleach."
"Oh, ok."
Sometimes they don't even worry about whether or not the item is represented in the store.
"Do you have any copies of the Da Vinci Code?"
"Um, no. Haven't carried that in quite a while."
"Could you check in The Back?"
"I'm positive we don't have any."
"Well, could you just check?"
"Sure."
Better yet is when they ask me to endure undue physical pain and hardship to retrieve their item.
"Do you have anymore frozen pita cakes?"
"I'm don't think so."
"Can you check in The Back?"
Let's not forget that the freezer where the pita cakes are is -14 degrees...

| Linkin Park's new CD which came out just a week or so ago is nothing but a severe disappointment. I'm not a huge fan of Linkin Park to begin with, but sometimes I like their sound. I do not condemn bands for changing their sound or maturing, but... this? Come on, guys.
A quick look at "Valentine's Day" reveals much of their new wussed-out style.
So now you're gone,
And I was wrong.
I never knew what it was like,
To be alone on a Valentine's Day,
To be alone on a Valentine's Day.
I used to be my own protection,
But not now.
'Cause my path has lost direction,
Somehow.
Alright, cut them some slack, maybe it's just their "Nothing Else Matters" (see: Metallica). But this is a common theme throughout the entire album.
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.
Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.
Now, if these songs carry with them the traditional Linkin Park, heavy metal undertone, then maybe it's cool. However, they just seem to pull off an angry Postal Service (what of?).
Give me either good ol' Linkin Park, or good ol' electronic emo. Don't try and cross them. It's like a love-child of... Benjamin Gibberd and Kirk Hammet? Spare me. |

| Brand new to Toy Aisles all around the Globe!
The Commander Guy!
This fullly-flexible action figure (modeled after our own President Bush) will include a water pistol, for heated affairs with Condi and Angela Merckl, REAL karate chop action, and presidential suit (with trademark red power tie!). This awesome action figure is not JUST a sequel to The Decider, but a completely independent toy with killer moves!

| Cate Blanchett. You are a goddess. Her job acting as Katherine Hepburn is the single best acting job I've ever seen by a woman.
So, Cate Blanchett, join Anthony Hopkins (best acting job EVER in Silence of the Lambs).

| Well, Humanities gave me 6, Intro to Sociology gave me another 6, my ACT score gave me English 101, and US History 1 gave me 3. As of right now, I'm sitting at a pretty 18 credits.
