Books!

[the_wanlorn]

I cannot be allowed loose in a bookstore with extra cash. Seriously. I hit up B&N and Borders today (got lost going to Borders cuz the directions were like 20N and route 20 goes East and West, but not North, so I guessed. And I guessed wrong. So I had to turn around and then when I was leaving I had to guess which way to get me home (cuz I didn't remember which way I was going and, again, I guessed wrong. Damnit.). I was going to use my gift cards up, and that was it. Honestly. Nothing more. I had 120 bucks in my pocket, waiting to go to the bank and get deposited so I could save up for a lovely external hard drive. I have about 20 left. DAMNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See, at B&N it was an honest accident. I forgot how much was on the card, assumed 25, was wrong. Oops. But I did get some good books. Then, at Borders... Heh. I couldn't find anything else on my list of Books I Really Want. So, I just kinda wandered around waiting for something to catch my eye. Something did. In fact, many somethings did. I saw the movie of Cyrano de Bergerac for 11 bucks. Which I took as a sign that meant I was supposed to get the damned play, too, since it was on my list of things to eventually buy (which is in my head). And then I was like, "Oh, FUCK IT!" and went on a "Nire loves books!" rampage. So I am now in possession of the following: (from B&N) The Pirates! In an adventure with Scientists: a novel (which was on my list) American Gods (which was on my list) Good Omens (from Borders) Cyrano de Bergerac: Heroic Comedy in Five Acts (currently reading & apparently it was on my list...) Cyrano de Bergerac (1990 version) Pygmalion Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister: A Novel Bringing Down the House: The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions Neverwhere (on my list!) Collected Stories (Kafka stuff) ::goes back to reading::
