Today I had my first Snickers bar since Ireland. I was at Meijer and it was only $0.52, so I bought it. In Ireland, I would go across to Brian's every day and buy a Snickers bar for 0.95. Every day without fail. A Snickers bar and a coke. The Snickers bars here pale in comparison. Then, when I arrived at work, my boss told me that Joel had left a c.d. for me. I had to wait until I was shunned to the back room to wash all 14 airpots and every other possible item in the store before I could listen to it. It was Adele's c.d. and "bonus" songs... more Adele. A vivid scene in my mind is the first time I saw her "Chasing Pavements" music video. Jessie, Francine, and I were sitting in the Subway in Galway at about 9 p.m right before going out, enjoying tuna subs with corn. The next day, the worst hangover of my life, as we were walking around the city with nowhere to go, we bought Now 69 and her song was on it. That was my train of thought as I washed dishes for two hours. Everything reminds me of Ireland lately. It's haunting me.
