It seems that there is some truth to the rumors that everything is bigger in Texas. I had my doubts, thinking that perhaps this was just another unfair stereotype, but these doubts were put to rest when I tried to buy a loaf of bread.
I was bored yesterday afternoon, so I went in search of a grocery store, so that I could do some minimal food shopping. I just wanted to get pasta, pasta sauce, some soup, peanut butter, and bread, you know, the bare essentials. After a little bit of driving around town, I found a place called Fiesta. Fiesta seemed to be a rather large supermarket, but it did pride itself on its low food prices, so I thought I would give it a try. It turned out to be a rather normal-sized supermarket on the inside, with all the usual food stuffs. I got everything I was looking for, and then I went for the bread aisle.
I just wanted a loaf of bread. Not too big, not too small. Just enough for me to make peanut butter sandwiches for the next few days or so. The first loaves I looked at were Fiesta brand bread, probably not any good, but cheap, only 89 cents. 89 cents for a whole crapload of bread. This was the biggest loaf of bread I have ever seen, it was like two loaves in one bag. I went down the aisle to look at the other brands of bread, and they were all the same, it was a big two for one sale on bread, only you couldn't buy just one loaf, they only came in huge double-sized bags. I went back down the aisle again and picked up the Fiesta brand bag, and paid for the food. As it turns out, it was quite cheap. I think Fiesta might become one of my favorite places to shop. At first I thought I should try to find someplace with normal-sized loaves of bread and shop there instead, but then I realized that I would have to go out of state for that. After all, everything is bigger in Texas.
Well, tomorrow I move in to my apartment finally, and I have my first class as a graduate student. Then things look like they will pick up later in the week as the semester gets into full swing. So until next time, faithful readers, have a wonderful day.

This morning, after my workout, I decided to watch "Super Size Me" to bolster my determination towards good healthy living.
Apparently, Houston is the #1 fattest city in the country.
Shit dude, you wouldn't believe the stuff people eat all the time.
I'd go pick up a couple more Fiesta loaves and have some air sandwiches. Either that or run over some fat people. You gotta bring that stat down! Don't let Houston fuck you up!!
