New Year’s Day

New Year’s Day

What are you doing today, my dear?

I’m thinking of going… to Costco… (quickly googling — is it open?! Okay, yes, should be…)

Costco… wow… I don’t think… I probably haven’t been to Costco since… my childhood…?

LOL — Do you wanna come with me to Costco when you’re here? (Mr Incognito?!)

(Smiling) I think I’ll have to be Mr Incognito if I come with you to Costco… but yes. I kind of want to… I’m curious.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA… Surely you can just go to Costco when you’re with your bros?

Not really… it takes too much of a fuss to get something like that organised. We’d have to think of a storyline, make it a vlog for some reason. Maybe even ring up Costco, get some commission deals or something.

Oh…?

Even if I do go with the bros, it’s just work… On my days off, I’d rather go with you.

Okay. But you really do kinda have to go as Mr Incognito, not Anu

Yeah I know. Anu would get recognised… well, not recognised, but — interrupted. People would go up to him to say, “You kinda look like… Common Name…”

Yeah. Just without the makeup and glamour team’s talents.

Yes, Common Name without the makeup.

So they’ll stop you and say, “Has anyone ever told you that you look just like COMMON NAME?!”

And I’ll say, “Yeah. I get that a lot. LEAVE ME ALONE PLEASE.”

LOL No. You’re not going to be rude. You’re going to Costco with me as Mr Incognito. There’s no other ruse.

(Sings, in Vonda Shepard’s “I only wanna be with you” tune) I only wanna go to Costco with you~~~

(Chuckles) It doesn’t fit… the same… bars?!

(LOL)

Do I get to sit in the trolleys and you push me?!

(Sigh) NO. You’re a MIDDLE AGED MILLENNIAL MAN. You do NOT get to sit in the trolleys while I push you! One day, we’ll have kids, and you can push the kids in the trolleys, and re-live that with them.

Oh… okay. (Smiling) I can dance with the trolleys.

(Chuckles) I know you can, but not at a regular Costco with regular people around. PLEASE. It’s not a music video set.

HAHAHAHAHAAHHA…

What are you planning to buy at Costco?

I don’t know. I’m kind of running out of food… since before Christmas

Oh yeah. Because you’ve been busy working…

Yes.

What food are you going to buy?

I don’t know.

You don’t have a list?

I have a small list, but then I’ll also browse around and see what I feel like.

Oh, so you don’t have a tight budget?

I have a budget… I can’t go crazy at Costco

What would be crazy?

$1000?

$1000 would be crazy.

Yes. Why? Are you planning to spend $1000 at Costco when you come with me?

I wasn’t thinking that. YOU just suddenly said that!

Well… yeah, please don’t. It’s too much. Nobody would be spending that unless they had many mouths to feed.

(Nodding) I’m learning.

Okay… well… I gotta go get ready.

I love you!

I love you, too.
