Grin

Just spent about 2 hours getting my ass to the center of the city, go check some prices over at Media Markt, a huge store filled to the brim with most electronic devices one can imagine. However, as they are usually pretty cheap, not to say the cheapest, this time they really dissappointed me. Maybe I shouldn't compare the in-store brand of shop A with the welknown brands that are being sold in Media Market, but still... a difference of 25% is pretty much if you ask me.

Too bad that in shop A they had run out of supply, so I'll have to go back tomorrow evening (after work) or postpone my visit till wednesday. I think the latter option is better anyway as I'll be beat tomorrow evening and I probably wont' feel like struggling with a huge 50 kilo large box.

Oh, the vagueness, don't you just love it?

As I was over at the supermarkt just a few minutes ago, a mum was there whith her adult daughter. They were standing in line behind me and suddenly the mum was discussing something and it went like this :

"Not too big, not too large, not too huge or to too tall. ...to be just fine" to which the adult daughter sighed and told mom to be less difficult. At that point the checkout lady as well as I bursted out in laughter, and then the checkout lady said to me "they were talking about boxes", and the daughter (not a classic beauty but a tall good looking blonde nonetheless) said to me "oh, yes... we were talking about boxes!". I just smiled and walked away. Apparently the three of them got the idea that I thought they were talking about me. Not that I would have minded to get to know her a bit better, but honestly, it didn't even cross my mind.

And guess what? Only now - at home - I come up with a witty reply like "damn, too bad" or something like that. I really got to kick my wits back in gear and dare to speak up more often. How else am I ever gonna find a sweet lady to love?
