things I saw at wegmans and cool Questions and a long hypothetical

 I saw my old roommate that I wrote about a few months ago and when I lived with him he would always be on his phone talking about money and when I saw him at the checkout a few months ago he was on the phone talking about money and I can't make this up the SECOND I walked in the door I heard a voice say,

"Well that's where all the money is"

And I turned my head and it was him talking on the phone and I was like wow we've reached Mr. Krabs levels. A cartoonish obsession.

Anyway and then later I saw a guy and his girlfriend looking for each other in the aisles and there was a big, like massive cardboard box display thing for chips and the guy and the girl did that thing where one person would look on one side of it while the other person would look on the other side and then they'd both look confused and go check the other side but it lined up perfectly that they would miss each other and then go back to the other side and they went back and forth like that like 4 times, perfectly synced up and once they finally saw each other I almost walked over to tell them what had just happened but I kept it to myself and I'm sharing it with you now.

And then when I was driving to Wegmans I thought I was sad but I knew I didn't have anything to be sad about and then I thought about it more and realized I just didn't have any energy and was tired and that made me think I was sad. 

I just thought of the word 'weltschmerz" and I had to look it up and it means a feeling of melancholy and world-weariness and I don't think I have that but I do think weltschmerz is a great word. 

Cool Questions to Ask People

How far can you jump? What's the coolest kind of bug there is? Do you like jumping? Do you have a rock that looks like a face? Which number is the color orange? What's the best kind of magic? When you think of 30 of something what do you think of and why? If you were given a button that, if pressed, made the moon's pull on the ocean so strong that it could rip all the blood out of someone's body and when you pressed the button that would happen to one person on Earth what would you do with the button. Oh, and also there's a skeleton alive and he knows about the button but he doesn't know that you have it but he's trying to get it because the blood will go to him and then if he also finds the skin button and the muscles button then he will be a person again and usher in 20 months of terror. But like he's magically in whatever city or place you are--let's say within a 10 mile radius of wherever you go. And he can talk to worms so if you bury it then he might find out. Any vermin he can talk to. What would you do? And he loves safes. Big safe guy. Safes and vaults to skeletons are like hot chocolate to humans. So consider that.
