florescent lights and the hum of many computers... now why does this sound familiar?

our internet at home is dead so until it's resurrected i get to hang out at school in one of the various computer labs. fortunately since it's friday night, the place is relatively empty and quiet. undergrads make so much noise...

i went shopping to day, a mixture of clothes and errand type stuff. my cycling of two pairs pants for five days of work has been working but only just. there are a number of second hand shops scattered around so i headed toward's k rd after work this morning. two of the recycled clothes shops there have $20 caps on prices which just fits my budget. a little sifting through p'leather pants and paint-on jeans yielded up a decent pair of serviceable black pants that will do for both work and play. however neither had any shoes that would do so that hunt had to continue. you see, i throughly wore out my pair of black flats and have been using my boots most days for work. but they don't do so well for all of the walking i have to do getting to and from work. i've been in and out of shoe stores for the last couple of weeks, unwilling to spend nearly a week's pay on shoes, however my second hand shops were leaving me with little choice. as i headed home i resolved again to just pay the exorbitant prices and call it an "investment". my last call was to another op-shop, a church run basement store up and around the corner from us. they've been a good source for kitchen-type stuffs and i've been needing a mixing bowl. wandering into the dim underground room, i decided to look at the shoe offerings in the back, you know just in case. too small... too high... hmm this would work... nope too small.... last one. hey, it fits. now are they comfortable? seem so... and they're cheap too... sweet! and what to you know, a mixing bowl!

three out of three: must be my lucky day...

i'm such a girl sometimes...
