Once again my responsible life has let me down. Sigh.

I checked my email a scant 2 hours ago and found that among all the spamtacular stock tips and pharmacutical come ons, I had received an email from the Joker.

I assume it was the Joker because it appeared as follows:

It was very different from the emails the Riddler and Catwoman send me and the Penguin only sends me links to porn.

By the time I clicked the link . . . the free screening seats were gone.

If I had not been sleeping when it came in so that I could get up and go to work so I could pay my bills and feed my family I could have been sitting in a Warner Brothers Screening for Dark Knight on Tuesday.

I think this is like the 4th time I have said it, but I really think an award needs to be created for the people behind the viral campaign of Dark Knight.  

Sigh.

Ice is Two Dollars and Seventy Five Cents a bag.

$2.75 for a bag of ice.

 

I was standing in the deli buying my Friday cholestorol sandwich (which used to just be my DAILY cholestorol sandwich) when I happened to notice that the sign on the ICE chest said that a bag of ice is two dollars and seventy five cents. 

 

I looked closer and the bags were the same size as the ones that used to cost $1.25.

 

Used to cost $1.25 two months ago.  

 

So Gas is $4.50 a gallon where I live, cigarettes are 7 bucks ( I have not smoked for 8 years but I always told myself I could start again if I wanted to. Now I could not even afford to get myself lung cancer.), Milk is five bucks a gallon, one plain bagel is a dollar twenty five . . .

 

Houses are being put on the market or foreclosed at an alarming rate. Not just in the neighborhoods around me where they ALWAYS were. Now it’s everywhere.  

 

Capital One seems to be opening a branch on every corner as if they are devouring every bank in their path . . .

 

So uh . . . what are you gonna do about it?
