also, since i did not have a great day, i would like to share one bit of consumption-fueled joy...

i was at an out-of-town bookstore that i don't normally visit, and they had a lot of things for 75% off. so I got:

- hardcover copy of Wm Gibson's All Tomorrow's Parties
- Vogue desk calendar - vintage images in a cd-case holder
- large pretty Goodnight Moon picture frame for Z.

for a grand total of $5.95, including tax!
I was particularly glad about the Gibson book, since I've been wanting to read it, and actually bought it last month and then almost immediately returned it because I was unsure about the expense and had a lot of other things to read before I'd have the chance to get to it. But a hardcover for under $2? I'm so there.

My mom also bought me a few small things, basically because she felt guilty about the aforementioned Edina-and-Saffron episode earlier today. I got a book that [livejournal.com profile] ayun mentioned last week called Cute, Quaint, Hungry, and Romantic which looks pretty good. Also one of the geektastic LOTR bookmarks that has the little ring attached to the tassel... I wanted Galadriel, but they didn't have her, so I got Arwen instead, which is cool. Geektastic. Geektastic!

I am very tired now. thud thud ZONK.
