(if you can tell me why i titled this post dion sanders i will think highly of you) blogspot now has spell check, God bless google for taking over and giving it spell check.
i'm in toronto right now because i have a week and a half between my last class, which was this morning, and my first exam, which is on the thirteenth and my dad asked me if i wanted to go with him to toronto for a business trip, so i came. i was lying in bed in the delta toronto east hotel on the second floor room 221 and i couldn't sleep, so i figured since it cost $9.95 for 24 hours of internet i might as well use as much web time as i can, so i'm writing on my beloved blog.
the other day my mother and i were in the new food basics near my house. food basics is much like no frills living by the same penny pinching principles, in fact i'm pretty sure that no frills copied food basics. but food basics shouldn't be called food basics, that would be false advertisement. it should be called food-hygiene-drugs-clothes basics. they have a pharmacy in it. how does that work i wonder, do you have to pay five cents for a bag for your tylenol three? or is it less for the little pharmacy bags because you get less plastic? or is it more because the little pharmacy bags are not as popular? but more so, what i don't understand is how come they sell clothes -- since when is clothes a basic to food? you need to be healthy to enjoy food so i guess drugs and hygiene products can squeeze in the title if we are generous -- but clothes? that's borderline criminal. last i checked i didn't need to be wearing pants to sense the savory superness of kraft dinner and i didn't need to have a t-shirt on to appreciate the colourful excitement of fruit loops. clothes are not basic to food, which is why i don't understand how food basics gets away with selling clothes. feeling confused about the whole thing (because i am a man of common sense) i asked the store manager if he could justify the selling of clothes in food basics and he said that he was wondering the same thing. he told me that he had asked corporate why and they said that they would post an official explanation to how they justify the selling clothes while still keeping the store name food basics.

I'll take advantage of the time zone advantage and be the first to say the Deion (not Dion) Sanders wore number 21 during his NFL career.
Too bad google doesn't yet have famous persons spell check component.
hey andrew,
thanks for the heads up, next time i'll do more research for famous people's names. i official want to tell you that i think highly of you for knowing the answer. congragulations.
Well Matt,
I like it, I like it a lot. One comment I would have mentioned if I were you, maybe, I'm not sure because I'm not you. But in your update you failed to mention how two of your three lovely sisters are engaged. I don't know, call me crazy but that's kinda a big deal, at least, summary worthy. But other than that, it's good to have you back and I will be reading when I can.

You can think highly of me too, I got the whole Deion thing right away. Great post. I think you relied on the spell checker too much though... it's clothes, not cloths. But it made me laugh, and that's all that matters.
melly, the fact that my sister are engaged has nothing to do with my blog or the people reading the blog unless it is miriam, anne, greg or norm reading it.
matt i don't know which matt you are but i'll make sure to correct the cloths. a food basics selling cloths would make sense because you would need to wipe up the spilt food with a cloth.
sorry, i usually leave comments with my first and last name, and didn't realize i'm not registered that way on this. it's matt rudd, and you make a good point about selling cloths. :-)
Matt, the fact that I found your blog again demonstrates that when a blog begins with a flurry (and someone telling everyone to read it) you can actually go quite a long time between posts and people will still read it.
I, for one, am glad that I stopped checking every day for a new post, in about August!!
Glad to see that you are still alive and reasonably well.
dennis,
i am glad to see that you've checked my blog, i miss you guys and i hope that all is well, hopefully i'll be posting on a more regular basis. i also hope to make it to the conference in february.
"last i checked i didn't need to be wearing pants to sense the savory superness of kraft dinner"
hahahahahahahahahah
FYI, noFrills has been around longer than Food Basics.
Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
