ok, so, this adventure begins and ends with eminem. It began a couple weeks ago when i was channel surfing and came across Em's Slim Shady video on one of the MTVs. After seeing the video, i had a hankering to listen to more Eminem. yeah, me, go figure. But since Em is pretty much the only rapper i can stomach on a nearly constant basis i find this branch off into Rap to be acceptable. Anyway, i forgot about my hankering after a while and all seemed right with the music world until tonight.

I was bored. nothing new. decided to go to Barns and Noble before Mythbusters. On the way down i remembered my hankering for Eminem and decided that that would be my goal for the evening. Upon entering Barns and Noble i first headed up to the Manga section. Found nothing. I then headed down to the movie/music section and instantly had my attention diverted by a "dvds under $15" sign. After browsing said merchandise (and rescueing a lonely copy of "Robin Hood: Men in Tights") i resumed my search for Eminem.

Firstly, i searched their database with those little computer moniter thingies they have lying about. i then searched the various albums listed and found the one that had the most songs on it that i am familiar with ("Curtain Call"). Then i looked up to locate the Rap section of the music aisles. Didn't see one. I looked again. Still no rap. Now i'm a little adgitated. DId they dispose of the rap section? I really wouldn't put it past them. They try to be a little more 'family oriented' than trusty Boarders. Still...

So, I located a clerk amungst the aisles and stated my default 'i don't know where this is' line. ("Excuse me, this is going to sound silly, and i'm probably just blind, but where is _____?") The clerk then led me over to the Soul section and pointed out the tiny, unlabeled, rap section. Normally i have no pitty for the crude and lack-luster stylings of rap but i did feel a pang of sympathy for the forgotten four rows of music. Sympathy aside, i found what i was looking for and made my purchase. I am content.

it's a pity that Mythbusters is a repeat.
