Yesterday was really good. I got up and made a bacon and chocolate chip waffle. I went to a state park in Dania Beach, which was the first time I have been to the beach since I moved here. It was a really serene beach and only $4 to get in the park versus parking at public beaches which is about $6 an hour. I did not go swimming because the purple flag was up and I have never been swimming when there is a purple flag flying. I have never been stung by a jellyfish and I feel like I would like to continue in that fashion. There was some dumb marine warfare place at the end of the stretch of beach that fucked up the whole view with their ugly ass building. Lol. The park in Dania Beach was good for swimming but not for walking, and I really wanted to go hang out in some woods, so I left after exploring that spot and went to this little bookstore I passed on the way to that park. It was a combo like bookstore/record shop/cafe, which was cool, but the vibe was very weird and I left without buying anything even though I was hungry and saw a couple of books that I wanted. At one point one of the people working in the bookstore walked over to where I was browsing and stared at me from 50 feet away and it was very uncomfortable.
I started driving to the next park and it started pouring down rain. The right hand side of the road was flooding in some places. I wound up stopping at the Hustler shop, which I'd never been in, and that was nice. I got some Tom of Finland socks. They had some fun lingerie. The second park let me in for free, which was very cool of them! This one was not good for swimming but was good for walking. There was a HUGE banyan tree, the one I took a picture of and posted. It was gigantic, I can't even explain how huge this tree was. It was so cool and it had a whole aura...it was like when in some comic book the sorcerer will say, "This is my place of power!", you can tell it has a whole ancient power. It is a place of magic. Allegedly there was beach access but it was just like a walking route to the public beach access, which, no thank you. I didn't see a lot of wildlife, just some tiny mud crabs and some herons. This park was up against the Intercoastal Waterway so you could see some rich people's houses and they were just wild, they looked big enough to be a hotel. I went to Target and Claire's Accessories and I was going to go to Goodwill but there was also a Fetish Factory on that same road that closed before Goodwill so I went there instead. The staff was nice but it seemed really overpriced, like who is paying $50 for fingerless vinyl gloves? They had a black crystal half-mask that I had also seen at Hustler that was so cool, but it was $25 at Hustler and like $49 at FF so I was like ugh no thank you. I came home and swam in the pool for a bit and then showered and at that point it was like 7:30 and I was so so tired. I made Daryl Surat bang me out and order pizza and I went to sleep.
Today was like okay, the bus ride in made me really cranky and I wrote Broward Transit a sternly worded email about this morning which I had basically already forgotten about at the time of this writing. I have been reclassifying incorrectly classified books. I think I am halfway done with classifying the library, or at least very close to halfway done.
Comics: I checked out one of the Justice League Dark tpbs with my digital library card and I read most of it at work on Friday and then gave up on it right before the final issue. I might go back and finish it today, though.
Yesterday I bought The Autumnal and I have Regrets (luckily, it was on sale). I read it today and I almost didn't finish it and then I remembered that I'd bought it for Kindle so I may as well finish it since it doesn't take me that long to read a comic. It was very solidly mediocre. I would say that normally the ending would have been interesting except that I read Cockblockin' Brian Hocevar's novella and it has the same ending pretty much. It just was, whatever. The art bothered me, it was this very expressionless art that seems very cliched, like the artist can only draw a regular face and a shouting one. Idk how else to explain it.
I am going to go to a zoom lecture on the history of modern sex magic(k) with dr. manon hedenborg white. i want to read her book but last time i checked it was like $80. i want to read all the books. i'm dyin here.
