{Random} Feel so Good
I start a new job on Monday!
Today, my best friends and I went around my hometown. I felt so rich with my net gain of nearly a thousand bucks (mostly due to not having to pay rent anymore because my new job is near my hometown). Bought stuff at Frank and Son’s in City of Industry, which most geeks around the area will know as the mini Comic-Con that’s only open every Wednesday and Saturday and sucks to walk through during the summer because it’s a giant warehouse with no ventilation and air conditioning.
Went to the Puente Hills Mall, which Back to the Future nerds will know is where the mall scene was filmed. They made a big deal about it in 2015 too:
-
- October 21, 2015. They stuck a Delorean in the center of the mall! Also had a free screening of BttF at night. Was epic.
-
- Also I wandered around wearing the Tenth Doctor’s coat because time and whatnot.
-
- All these time travelers dun fudge the space-time continuum.
So anyway, bought a bunch of stuff at the mall. There’s a geek store that sells collectibles, dragon statues, swords, etc, so how could I resist? Then we drove to Harbor Freight tools. They had online coupons where you could buy anything and get a free tarp, magnetic pan, or headlight.
They’re serious when they advertise “With ANY Purchase!”
Friend 1 buys $6 worth of stuff and gets a free tarp worth $6.38.
Friend 2 buys $5 worth of stuff and gets a free magnetic parts holder worth $5.99.
I buy a small wire brush to clean my car’s battery terminals for $1 and get a free tarp worth $6.38.
Friend 3 buys nothing because he doesn’t want a free tarp. What a weirdo.
I mean, come on! Why wouldn’t you want a tarp and something random for $1!
