It's the most wonderful time of the year.
Random observations while shopping at lunchtime.....
A battered Volvo in the parking lot of MegaBooks, sporting the usual "Bush Lied!" "God is coming, and boy, is She pissed!" and "Meat is Murder" bumper stickers. Also sporting a bunch of stickers for bands (the only one I heard of was the Pixies). The band name that made me laugh? "The Arrogants." Must be Flower's new group.
Holiday music is now playing 24/7 on one of the ClearInfinity stations -- on the way from MegaBooks to the Mall of Mammon, I hear a traditional song (I forget which one) being sung by Gloria Estefan. I'd bang her (but carefully -- I think she broke her back in a tour bus accident a couple of years ago). I also, apropos of the earlier thread, mentally observe that she is Cuban.
A cute young sales clerk at Gimbels asks me if I want to try a sample of Brut 33 ("by Faberge"). When I start to say no, she gives me the flirtatious fake frown and says "you're not going to be a Scrooge, are you?" I smile, finish saying no, and remind myself that (a) she is on commission, and (2) I am probably older than the professor who is busily grading her "Chaucer in Context: Patriarchical Oppression of Peasant Womyn in Early Modern English Literature" essay for Lit I at Podunkville U.
Cold and rain is a shitty weather combination.
