Jul. 6th, 2003 01:17 amHad a very blah 4th: played Pharoah, watched a whole passel of Trading Spaces, and pretty much skipped out on the fireworks. Could've wandered out and watched, didn't. Not feeling too keen on the US right now anyway: Canada's looking much spiffier lately. Vancouver's none too different climate-wise from Seattle, and since I know French (enought to fake it at least) all I'd need would be a job. Chalk that up to an it-all-goes-to-hell-contingency.
Today I did stuff. Badgered Lori into cleaning the shower (I did the toilet the last two times: it's only fair,) cleaned and rearranged my desk. I have room for the laptop now, and other stuff. I'm thinking of rotating the bed. Too much home improvement tv is sinking in. I haven't gotten my new cell phone yet: I'm thinking it may need to wait until the next paycheck. Pity. I really want to call up Mom and talk about space and decorating and nifty funky stuff.
I finally went through some things in my closet and drawers: pants a size too small, a pair of sweaters I haven't worn in two years, blouses I'll never wear again and swooped by the consignment shop in Ballard to see what was the deal, maybe get a little cash for my clothes. A little much hassle, I think I may end up donating the lot. Dru was with me, and wanted an Hawaiian shirt for a themed party, and we stopped by Value Village. Holy Lord. Crap Mecca. Some interesting finds, though: a real fur coat (I wish I could tell what kind) entirely without lining, for $35. I was truly tempted to buy it just to fix up: lining's cheap, and hey: real fur. Instead I just nabbed a couple dozen canning jars and let my willpower (and the pile of other projects I already have) win out.
