Also, I finished The Glass Castle yesterday. I liked it. Certainly makes me grateful for what I have.
The story seemed to seep into my life, though. Or rather, I suppose I got too into the story. Because while I was getting dressed yesterday morning, I was reading this part where the family was going through a very harsh winter, and I somehow got it into my head that it was freezing cold outside. Furthermore, I didn't have appropriate clothes for that kind of cold, much like the Wells children, and I vaguely started panicking.
It took me a minute to figure out that 1) no, I was not going to find a coat in my closet, not even a thin one with missing buttons. The most I was going to find was a thin hoodie. And 2) I didn't need anything warmer than that because it was 68 degrees outside and climbing.
So yeah. My screws are a bit loose.
BTW, has anyone heard anything about Borders? Because the one near me seems to be going down a bit. They're selling their entire stock of CD's and DVD's at 40% discount. It sucks for them, but I grabbed a Belle & Sebastian CD that I'd been looking for, as well as stuff by Fiona Apple, Jack's Mannequin (!!!), and The Wombats. Oh, and two Audrey Hepburn movies. All way cheaper than usual, and I was ecstatic.
However, I believe Borders in general, the company, is doing fine. It's just that the people who built the mall and shopping centers around me were stupid and decided to build a Barnes & Noble and Borders within a mile of each other. So according to natural selection, one of them must overcome the other. It seems that B&N is wining in this particular neck of the woods.
Which is fine, since I like B&N way better. Not as many Twilight shrines.
