Discoveries

Tonight, I discovered a few things during my Friday night search for books and coffee:

1) Somewhere, in the course of my life, I have learned to parallel park.  Before tonight, I had never parallel parked before, and pretty much freaked the hell out when I realized that the only available parking spots were off to the side of the store.  It was super-easy.  I called my dad when I got home to tell him about it, and he seemed half-confused as to why I was calling, and half-disbelieving that I had actually done it, lol.

2) I missed last night's episode of Supernatural.  This revelation came to me as "Carry on Wayward Son" started playing in the car.  I think this is the first time I've missed a new episode of that show since it started, and I'm a little surprised by how little I care about missing it.  Did anyone else catch it?  Was it one of their super-epic episodes or just sort of a filler-type thing?  The promos made it look sort of like the Buffy episode "Normal Again" which is actually one of my favorites.

3) I should not be allowed unattended in bookstores.  It's not that I make scenes or cause a commotion, it's just that I spend too much damn money.  I went to the bookstore because I needed a new copy of Good Omens (the dog destroyed my old one) and I came out with Good Omens, Coraline, a Watchmen journal, and a collection of short stories about vampires.  *sigh*  And, I've got so much homework right now, not to mention the three other novels sitting at the side of my bed waiting to be read that there's no way I'm even going to be reading those books anytime soon.  Oh well.  I guess that's what spring breaks are for.

And now I'm going to be an old lady and declare it too cold for me to go out again tonight.  I'm thinking about making some tea and then curling up in bed to read.

I know what you mean about needing a guard or a chaperon in bookstores. We have Powell's at home and every time I go in there I walk out with a huge bag full of books. And I already have some many on my TBR list. Plus homework so really it's not fair to the books I buy that I buy them. But oh well. Not going to stop me from a book spree

It's the same for me. When I have money, I tend to go overboard and buy all the paperbacks and hardbacks I can get. It's like a race!
