The House of Tomorrow
Oct. 2nd, 2004 11:23 pmToday, my mom and I went out and met my Uncle Tim and Aunt Jann at Ollie's, which is some kind of discount outlet type of store with a mascot who looks like a weird caricature of Albert Einstein. I didn't get anything there, but if I'd wanted to, most of it WAS pretty cheap. After that, we went to Borders, where I read the first chapter of Going Postal. Yes, it was a Discworld book with chapters. Pretty weird, huh? Anyway, I still have that book on reserve from the library, and I just picked up A Hat Full of Sky today, so I have my Pratchett reading cut out for me in the near future. After Borders, we went to the mall and ate at the food court. I had some chicken teriyaki with lo mein noodles, which was pretty good. Then we went to the Halloween store where my sister works. I ended up buying some kind of cheap dragon claw cup for myself, and a skull for
bethje. I'd promised her one some time ago, so I decided to finally make good on that promise. So, yeah, my day wasn't too exciting or anything, but it was nice to see my uncle and aunt again.
I forgot to mention this before, but on Thursday night (I think it was Thursday night, anyway), I had a dream that there was a road that was apparently named after me, although there was no reason in the dream why that would have been the case. I think the road went to Great Adventure, but it had a different name on the part with the amusement park. Beth and I were going to drive down the road named after me, but it went in the wrong direction and we couldn't get on, or something like that. The exit for the road was also the one to take to visit Stephin Merritt's house. So, yeah, a pretty weird dream.
I'll hopefully have my review of the new Fuzzy Warbles CDs up soon. I want to listen to them a few more times and read the liner notes first.
