I went on a quest last night.
Shut up. You move out to Bumfuck, Centra Florida and see how you have to resort to making your own fun. I can totally see why the outrageous whim of creating an internationally-reknown boyband even occurred to Chris, and seemed just entertaining enough at the time to pursue.
Anyway, my adventure.
Happily, our nearest bookstore is not as far as I'd feared, and with the purchase of PoA I, some way or another, now have two copies of all the books. Mmm, yes. I really do want to get to OotP before the break is out. It's also right near the Wellington Mall, which is decidedly the most sprawling and beautiful shopping structure I have ever seen. It's this oasis of pretty in the flat, marshy wasteland. I'll have to check it out for reals before leaving.
Visited the amusement park-sized Wal-Mart as well. Jesus, Mary and Joseph! And all heaven's angels, and the good people of Bethlehem, and all the prophets, and just about everyone mentioned in Genesis! Because you could fit them all in there and still have to play Marco Polo to find anyone. The place is enormous. The freezer section alone made my knees weak. And the cereal aisle! They needed two aisles to fit all the varieties! I've never seen the berry version of Count Chocula! Scored Looney Tunes cereal, and really, there's nothing like a bowl full of rainbow-colored spheres of fruity goodness. Scored some champagne for New Year's, sparkly metallic markers, a fantastic bra, and...
Prince's Purple Rain. Holy my good god. Why didn't anyone tell me about this album? It's the most cracktastically joyous thing ever! No nevermind that I like JC's version of Let's Go Crazy better but can't possibly love When Doves Cry any more, the entire album is one fantastic romp of 80s goodness that's reawakened something dormant inside my very soul. It's. I. Yeah. In a very, very big way.
CFTC VI in Miami, you say? I feel for all my friends who can't make it and wish you all independent wealth before July. Personally, since I live an hour and a half away now, the only benefit is knowing the lay of the land. If anyone needs info about hotel locations/geography/logistics/driving times, feel free to drop me a line.
I baked biscuits for lunch. Well, I cracked open a can of Pillsbury and preheated an oven. But, biscuits! And tea! And yeah, I might be very very lame in the kitchen department. I plead college student.
Caught the middle of the last half of Sorcerer's Stone and the beginning of CoS on one of our cornucopia of HBOs this morning. *fans self* Harry/Draco, man, it's a wonder Rowling isn't suing Chris Columbus for "corrupting" her vision.
Also, I woke up this morn-- yeah, okay, afternoon, craving epic Bassez. Not AU, but current, real life Bassez. My friends are a corruptive influence.
I kid! *smooches![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
without_me and walkingshadow anyway*
It might just be because I want to be finished writing it.

If you like Purple Rain, then you'll like 1999, too.

Aah, logic. Sixth grade. Loved it, looking into taking it for my math requirement here at UF. :)
