Short and sweet sundries, of things that I want to share but haven't gotten around to yet:

*Dog retweeted a link to this picture, which keeps making me lawl. Apparently it was seen at a starbucks.

The best part of this story is that he was feeling slightly down later that night, and so to cheer him up, I tossed him the first awesome link that came to mind. Which was the above. I told him I felt like a moron, and he laughed and said I shouldn't as it's totally the sort of thing he would do. I love my friends!

*Talia remains a very good writer, even when she's just making quick posts about the Whovian nature of her dorm. Also, I am not sure if Talia is even a name she goes by anymore, but Futuresoon is so formal, and I don't at all think of her by her real name except when checking the dedications in her dad's books.

*Someone else on Twitter (don't remember who) linked to this: It appears to be a version of Candyland, with bacon. What?

*Hey MA folks, there appears to be some form of smallpress/Indie comics gathering going on at the other half of my school! It's free, and I will be there at least after noon, I think, maybe even with a couple doodles or minicomics to give to people if I'm really good, or at least my binder full of pictures of dinosaurs drawn by awesome people.

Huh, that appears to be everything I had open. Now I am going to go prance off to physics class, baiii!

I am not sure I would expect much of a seltceion of local products at Costco. I have had a Costco membership for more than 15 years and have routinely used the ones in Rockland (where I grew up) and Westchester Counties as other locations and don't recall seeing many local products sold. Remember this is a warehouse club and it has a very different model from other retailers. Costco generally stocks a small seltceion of items that are sold in bulk quantity. For instance, if you want to buy laundry detergent, Costco typically only stocks a 3 or 4 brands- and each brand is only sold in one size. By stocking only a few brands in limited sizes- it allows Costco to sell more of each one and buy in larger quantities for cheaper prices. If I recall correctly, Costco will not mark a product up more than 15% of their cost. Despite the low mark up (they make their profit on the membership fee) you can sometimes find better deals at a supermarket (although that is much easier to do in the suburbs) because the supermarket will have an item sold as a loss leader to get you in the door. Hopefully the East Harlem Costco will have prices that are close to the prices of the suburban Costco's. I went to the new BJ's in the Bronx since I live near 145th in Harlem a few weeks ago. The prices there are higher than what I am accustomed to paying for items in the suburban stores- but cheaper than the Supermarkets in Harlem. If the East Harlem Costco's prices are too high- I might be tempted to join BJ's since it's closer.
