The Road to Hell, Or at Least to Spending Nine Dollars on Used Books (Two of Which Are at Least Going to Be Useful for Comps)

Step 1: Go to entirely different store that's in a strip mall-style shopping center.
Step 2: Coming out of said store, spy used bookstore you haven't seen before.
Step 3: Decide to "just look"; walk over to store.
Step 4: See a kitty in the window.
Step 5: Say, "Ooooh, kitty!" out loud. Don't feel as embarrassed as this should make you feel.
Step 6: Go into store, pet both kitties (one of which is a really pretty blue-eyed Himalayan/Ragdoll), get in conversation with owner, and end up buying three books, which at least were relatively cheap.

It's not rent or utilities or groceries that are going to break me in this town, oh, no. It's BOOKS.

Also, in the HOLY CRAP THAT'S AWESOME category, I just discovered that Nutella spread on a pizzelle is about the closest we're going to get to a crepe over here, and it's AMAZING.

1987 Calling

Hey, band from the iTunes single of the week? The Cure called, and they want their music back. And also to know what kind of mood enhancers you're on.

(Actually, I like the song. I just have to laugh at the way the lead singer's voice resembles Robert Smith, and how the synthesizers make it sound oh-so-eighties. Say, is this a new trend, this sort of happier version of New Wave? I remember earlier this year there was another free single that reminded me of The Cure. If so, I approve. We all need more synth in our lives.)
