A ship that's crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell itself spat him back out

Barbara, Mum and I went into the city today because we haven't actually had a day out together in ages. I had a really great time. We got Hot Chocolate, went into Borders, looked at cute home decorating shops, clothes and all sort of schtuff. There was a big tent in the centre of Rundle Mall full of beanbags (that are designed to be lied down on) and screens showing "Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl" for free to anyone who wanted to walk in (it was pretty full) and I thought that was just awesome. For those of you who don't know, Rundle Mall is the most popular street in our city and it's an outside promenade thingy, not an indoor mall. So basically it was a big tent in the middle of a winter street. If I had been on my own I probably would've grabbed a beanbag and stayed there with all the other people and mimed all the words. Because it's just the principle of the thing.
In Borders I found all these little kid Dead Man's Chest books that I thought were awesome. I secretly wanted to buy one of the colouring in books because the pictures in them were cartooney and fun. There was also a very awesome storybook with lots and lots of censoring. I flipped ahead to "the bit" and it was all heavily censored, which made me giggle. And also the "DAMN YOU JACK SPARROW" was changed to "JACK SPARROOOW!"
Barbara bought a book on Anime Art and I listened to a few Jazz CDs that were there too.
We went in to Bras n' Things which might I say is quite mind-numbingly awesome. They had a sale on and I managed to buy an awesome Bra that was ten dollars down from fifty-five. Why is that so awesome, do you ask? I'm a freaking Double D cup and you can't find any nice ones that last long, are supportive and are under fourty dollars anywhere. Forget Target, Forget K-Mart, forget warehouses and forget any other places that flat-chested girls shop. Nooo I must have the expensive ones. And that is why this purchase for me was awesome.
I noticed that pirate jewelery is everywhere now. Everywhere you see gold tinted medallions and battered silver lockets and necklaces with keys, coins, "jewels", skulls and anchors on them. I secretly wanted the wench earrings. Actually I secretly want it all, and I want a wench costume that I can make an excuse to wear places.

I've had the Ducktales theme song in my head all day, my friends. Just thought I'd add that.

pirates, mum, rundle mall, barbara, bra shopping
