Indiana Mikey and the Woolworths of Doom.

Unfortunately the title is as dramatic as this little adventure got. I didn't get to do the groceries yesterday because I had no money and really, I was too buggered to do it. So I got Dad to drive me to Top Ryde Shops. I mean after all, this is his food too.

I don't usually like going to Woolies with my dad. Let's face it, he's getting on a bit. And it shows when he's shopping. He pays attention to every bit of detail on the label and isn't satisfied until he knows the minutiae of every brand of a certain product. I'd left him looking at lip balm and went about gathering food and I came back with a full trolley. He was still in the same aisle, looking at the same couple of lip balms. Deary me.

The fun started with the fruits and the vegetables (Ho! Puns a-plenty!). The Woolworths piped music happened to be Pseudo Echo's Funky Town. I'm sorry, but if that doesn't get you moving, I don't know what will. Cue the shopping trolley ballet. Need some oranges? Sure! Shuffle, hip shake, shuffle, three-sixty. Maybe some apples, too? Why not! Zigzagged up the aisle, spun the trolley around, pushed it backwards with my bum. I looked like a dick, but no one's ever around on a Monday night and I didn't really care.

Anyway, I eventually pulled up to the checkouts and the barcode babe was a guy who went to my school. I didn't realise at first but it dawned on me eventually. He was a few years below me but in the last year, fuck he grew! How depressing. He's taller than me now, but I suppose I should be used to that sort of thing.

On a slightly related matter, is it just me or is the stereotypical image of a person coming home with the shopping always have leafy stalks of celery sticking out the top of a shopping bag? I never really noticed that until tonight. I don't think I've ever bought celery in my entire life until now. Gosh, what have I been missing out on? Fun celeric times, evidently.
