Here's a picture of my new piercing. Well, it's not so much of the piercing itself. It's more a picture of me, including my new piercing. I got new, smaller jewelry for it, so it looks a lot better.
Today is Veterans Day. Is there anyone you know who has served or is serving in the military that you'd like to honor today?
Yeah. Me.
HONOR ME!!!!
We spent all day yesterday 'traveling.' Which means we spent all f-ing day in Atlanta. Here's Lucy making herself at home by spreading her toys all over the floor at one of the various gates.
And here's me exhausted! (And still hours away from a flight out of there.)
But we finally made it here, and today we spent most of the day in the pool. =]
Why yes, that is yours truly loitering outside the Kwik-E-Mart sipping a Squishee. And no, Joe and I weren't the only nerdy Simpsons fans there taking pictures of this converted 7-11.
In case you didn't know, eleven 7-11's around the US were converted into Kwik-E-Mart's in celebration (or whatever) of The Simpsons Movie coming out at the end of July. One of those was in Bladensburg, MD (just outside DC), and only about 15 miles away from me! WooHoo! This is definitely one of the only times I was glad to live in the area I do since only a few 7-11's were converted, and they were in major cities.
Anyhoo, since I have been watching The Simpsons since age 9 - when the first season started - I've always want to go to Springfield. But of course, since it's a cartoon, I knew it was never going to be.
UNTIL NOW!!! (Sorta)
Let's take a tour of the Bladensburg Kwik-E-Mart, shall we? Here are a few shots of the building's exterior.

Moving indoors, we run into a few familiar faces. There's Apu guarding the magazines!
And Homer. Eating, of course.
And little Ralphy.
Ralphy's dad, Chief Wiggum was there as well, hangin' by the Squishee machine, but we had our hands full so I didn't get a photo of him. =[
I did happen upon Jasper in the freezer, though!
While there, we got ourselves some Squishees and few cans of Buzz Cola. We got there kind of late, though, and the Krusty O's were totally gone. They are apparently also selling copies of Radioactive Man (according to some random dude we talked to outside), and if I don't get a copy, I just might die.
Anyway, here a few other items of interest from inside the Kwik-E-Mart. Enjoy!
