Here in Michigan we have an amazing store called "Meijer." It's basically a really nice version of WalMart. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can buy beer, clean underwear, and pre-made canvas all in one stop.
When you find yourself sitting in front of the television at midnight, Sunday night, and suddenly remember you have a big project due tomorrow, no problem! Just run to Meijer for all your office supplies, and some Red Bull.
Whenever I can't decide what to paint I troll the isles of my local Meijer store. Often I find my inspiration in the produce department, but sometimes it's in books, home essentials, the garden center, or even hardware.
When nothing at home seems to inspire you, head out to your local Meijer. Get a hand dipped ice cream cone at the Purple Cow and wander around under the florescent lighting until that something crosses your path and gets your juices flowing again.

amen sista
You are able to say so much in such a small block ;). Makes me happy.
Meijer taught me more about consumer culture than apple wishes they could.
R, does this resonate outside MI?
