Oh Baby
There's a can of Adrenaline Rush in my fridge, waiting for the right moment tonight to enter my body and flood my veins and keep me up for the long haul.
See, I had grand plans for tod--er, yesterday, of being busy and productive and cleaning house and studying and all sorts of good things. Then Karen mentions that seductive word... "shopping". She, Brendan, and I end up on a 7-hour trip through Norman and Oklahoma city... we went to the flea market at the Cleveland County fairgrounds and SCORED, ran up to Best Buy for a look around, tried to find Brendan's exotic wood store (uh-huh) and couldn't, came back to the Norman mall for a bit more fun, then to Game X-Change which was closed, then to Border's, then finally Walmart... After that, at about 9, we returned to Karen's for some food and fun (more about that in a sec) before Brendan and I continued the quest with an extra jaunt to Hasting's. We returned to my house at... 11? That's quite a way to waste the day. Since then I have completed the cleaning-house (at least sweeping and semi-mopping some floors, and vaccuuming, and putting away all clean laundry) and the cleaning-julia (I took out my front/top braids to wash that area of hair)... the rest of the night will consist of redoing those braids, washing dishes, making food, reading some homework, and perhaps even doing a bit of sewing and handwash.
So, anyway, the list of good stuff:
The flea-market thing was actually one large lady selling games, toys, movies, and such for pretty cheap - i.e. movies at $5, $4 or 3 for $10, and even $1. I ended up with:
The Fountainhead (one of 3/$10)
Dead Again (two of 3/$10)
Run Lola Run (subbed) (three of 3/$10)
The Ewok Adventure ($1)
Volumes 3-7 of I, Claudius ($5 each)
I bought nothing at Best Buy... from the mall, Hot Topic was having a badass clearance sale (1/2 off clearance price), so I got
one body crystal tattoo
a badass necklace
a pair of black underwear with pink trim and a screenprint fairie on the front
Then, at Software Etc. in the mall, Brendan and I gave in to our nerdy instincts, and we bought Harry Potter starter decks for the card game. By the time we had left the mall, traveled by Game X-Change, and reached Borders, we needed to buy booster packs, so we each bought one. I also got the paperback of Prisoner of Azkaban, recently released and on my wishlist, and a godiva chocolate bar. ;)
Walmart got me a new Brita filter.
While at Karen's after most of the shopping, Brendan and I tried out our new decks with a game of Harry Potter (or 20). This led to the trip to Hasting's to buy three more booster packs each. ;)
We have a rule, though, to keep HP from breaking our banks. We can only buy booster packs when we're together. Hopefully those times will not coincide with business hours enough that we don't spend too much money on this damn game. ;)
So yeah. This weekend has me totally shopped out. Which is good, because next weekend I'll be in Boston, and hopefully the shopping bug will be gone by then...
I leave very soon. I'm happy. :)
