i had heard something about j.c. penney giving away buttons as part of a contest, so i went to their location inside maplewood mall tonight after i was done printing things at the library. one is blue and has a white bird on it, possibly a dove. the other is red and white, looks like it's depicting a ribbon. i have entered both codes on these buttons, will find out later what i won if anything. looks like it's a holiday shopping campaign as the website includes the word 'christmas'.
   i picked up a harvey pekar book at the library, it was hard to find the graphic novel section at first. i did a search for his books and chose 'the quitter' as the title intrigues me. i have three weeks to read it. when first flipping through it i noticed two things: a beatnik next to a microphone and some football players. this was called a 'virtuoso' graphic novel in the inside cover.
   there was a long all-employee meeting today in the afternoon, i had mostly the baby carrots and the fruit since it was too close to lunchtime and had already eaten. then i had to rush to finish up special requests that had piled up before leaving for the day. i actually took a later bus home but it was a minimal difference, about 15 minutes. when i reached my stop i went to a convenience store to get a sandwich and potato chips, and got the same clerk from sunday who wanted to talk about the special on bananas. i said i already had one at home. i wanted to get in and out so we didn't talk near as long as before. i think this is the first time i've heard somebody at a convenience store try so hard to sell fruit. most of the time, people aren't thinking of eating healthy in these types of establishments, they're thinking of eating fast.
   i decided to destroy another disc so i could make room for one i valued more in a nice folio, it was of me singing 'take me out to the ball game' at the all-star game fanfest in st. louis in 2009. before i went to the library i sent another donation to a salvation army box. in the bag was a photo album that i had no use for as it was meant for larger postcards/photos, along with a few books that didn't do anything for me. i had meant to send the album there as part of last week's cleanup, and said i need to make it count when going to send another bag their way.
