I received a WISH gift card a few months ago for a rather sizable amount so I’ve been trying to use it up for a while. It works out well for me because I can use it at the Safeway supermarket near home and near the office.

Now that I have it down to the last few dollars ($8.15 as of this post, to be precise), I’m having some trouble buying something to cover the rest of the card. According to the FAQ on the website I should be able to spend more than is left on the card and cover the difference with cash or credit card. However, the last two times I’ve tried to do this the self-serve checkout returned an error. Just then at lunch, I actually tried to buy a couple of things totalling as close to $8.15 as I could but I miscalculated and went over by 15c.

This is annoying me somewhat. Yes, it’s only $8.15 but I refuse to leave it unspent and let Woolworths Limited have my money.

So right after Serena Williams screams at the line judge that she would “shove this [expletive] ball down your [expletive] throat” because of a bad call, she comes up with this:

“I wanted to offer my sincere apologies to anyone that I may have offended.”

That just smacks of insincerity.

Update: Serena has “amended” her original apology. Linky

Usually I don’t remember what I dream about, but I just remembered a little fragment of last night’s dream.

I was playing basketball with Michael Jordan. Actually, there was nothing specifically in the dream which said he was Michael Jordan. He just looked exactly like him. The only difference was that he couldn’t fly like MJ, so that’s why I’m not actually sure if it was him.

Here’s hoping I might be able to get back onto the basketball court if I can get this arthritis under control this year.

After five weeks of little exercise, I seem to have lost about 2 kilograms.

Where can I sell this new weight-loss regime?

Now, to find something to eat. I’m hungry…
