It is the 4th of July. in 20 minutes it will be the 5th of July.
Today I went to Wal-Mart (even though I morally oppose it, I cannot financially oppose it) with my mom and I drove and did not panic or freak out. I was very smooth. I only kind of panicked at one point. I got socks because my feet hurt in my shoes without socks and they are purple. The socks not the shoes. The shoes are the double-upper Converse. I like to morally oppose Converse, too. Outsourcing and all that. But these are from a thrift store so it is not like I am financially supporting them. Anyway. They are neat shoes and not too mainstream Converse which is what I really hate. Like. First, Cons were basketball shoes (stupid idea I think) and then, like, astronauts wore them (for reals they did, I was watching a NASA thing and like Alan Shephard and some other astronauts were in flight suits and Chuck Taylors; kick some ass) and then they were Punk Shoes, like the Ramones and fucking Wayne's World (re-watched both of those movies last night, awesome) and now they're fucking prep shoes. No self-respecting punk wears Cons that the cheerleaders are also wearing. And emos. Fuck emos. Anyway. Also I bought a...CD. 'The Beatles: 1'. I heard Hey Jude the other day and thought good song. Actually I was singing 'ch-ch-chaaanges, tuurn and faace the..something...' 'cuz originally I wanted Bowie. But I ran across the Beatles and remembered Hey Jude and then I couldn't find a Bowie CD and then the Bowie CD had less songs so I bought the Beatles CD and anyway I don't think Bowie CD had Life On Mars. And Beatles CD had 'Help!' which I love singing. So much. Like I just wail it. Then I bought me and mom coffees at Dutch Bros. We've basically worked out a deal now; we take turns buying the coffees. And basically no more Starbucks. They are boring and don't have nearly a wide selection as local places. And they're overrated.
Yesterday was June the 3rd and me, mom, Blake, mom's friend Londa and Londa's niece Macie, we went to Spokane. Mostly to thrift stores. Let me see. What did I get. An ugly/awesome sweatervest. 4 pairs of straight knitting needles, 5 pair of circular knitting needles. A black top. A microscope. (YES microscope.) Those Cons I mentioned. Then we went to Paradise Fibers, where I geek-freaked on the place and just bought the prettiest/cheapest ratio of yarn I could find. This handpainted sock yarn. Purplely. I wanna knit socks. Should be fun. Macie, it turned out, crochets and wants me to teach her how to knit. She's like 12 or something. Nice girl.
On Thursday, downtown there was Alice After Five! where I wandered up and down the streets and bought things. 4 woven-ish bracelets. Beef jerky. A metal bracelet. Bows. Like ribbon-bows, hair clips, from this local hair clippie maker. Nice lady. Now I has bows for my hair.
Tonight, or earlier today, I went with my dad to Sandy's street's block party. I hung around and did mostly nothing, some people gave me so daquiris and a Smirnoff and I had some good times. Fireworks were fun. Not much else.
About a half-an-hour ago (see I am kind of still a little intoxicated, why did I hyphenate that) I impulse-bought today's Shirt.woot, the SexDrugs, fake band one. In a women's Xl. I kinna wanna know if a women's XL will fit me as well as a men's L. I hope. Well earlier today or last night...last night, it was last night, I was deciding between buying Glarkware's You Are Nothing Without Your Robot Car NOTHING! or Shirt.woot's It Came Out of Nowhere. Both spectacular shirts. Admittedly I have wanted Without Your Robot Car for like years, no joke, and they've just (?) brought it back. But it is expensiver. Like 22 bucks (because I do not want a cheap tee, I wanna AA tee, they are good shirts, that's what shirt.woot prints on) and like 5 for shipping. Sheeet, Glarkware. Next paycheck maybe. Whereas It Came Out Of Nowhere is only 15. Also ICOON has a bit more geek-cred to it. It has the Delorean from Back to the Future crashing into the TARDIS. And You Are Nothing Without Your Robot Car NOTHING! is exactly what it sounds like, but with a picture-sketch thing of KITT from Knight Rider. I love it. I need it. My world is tilting strangely. Tim McGraw is hosting SNL. Aww. Whyyy.
Well I sohuld watch SNl and lay down a bit.
Oh also we went to Zip's in spokane and I ran across the street to the Comic Book Shop while eveyrone else was finishing eating and they didnt' have Y: last man V3 and the Doctor Who comic was a bit more expensive then I thought so I grabbed a used graphic novel, Powers: v1. I've heard things about Brian Micheal Bendis. It certainly is interesting the way he writes the dialogue and the art is different, kind of retro.
hmm. what else. I am tipsy ish. Look at all those typos in my last post. Look at me not caring. Another thing I am finding myself not caring about lately is Harry Potter. Like usually I'm very gung-ho, costume up, midnight opening but lately I've been very apathetic. See blog title. And i feel guilty about it because like yeah.
I think my shoe got kicked underneath the computer chair. I am not sure I am going to get it back later. Ohhh.
