A Not So Lousy Sunday.

July 26, 2010 |

While I am a firm believer in the age-old adage, “There’s something about Sunday night that makes you want to kill yourself,”1 this Sunday night was pretty good. First, even though I had no money, I got some books from the Powerbooks sale:


“Perfect From Now On: How Indie Rock Saved My Life” by John Sellers (I have no idea what this is about.)
“The Collected Works of T.S. Spivet” by Reif Larsen (Mikka lent me her copy and I needed to have my own.)


“Akimbo and the Elephants” by Andrew McCall Smith
“The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao” by Junot Díaz
I peeked inside the second book and it is… pretty much amazing. I’m excited.

We also went to Nona Garcia’s house. Pretty sure I’m not allowed to post photos of the works (for the upcoming exhibit this week; troop down over to West Gallery, y’all), so here are nondescript photos of things around her house, and exhibit-y things up-close. Oh, and of her cute (but snobby) little dog, Jacob.


Also, got this on Friday, from the Meiday gig/Hato send-off over at The Collective.

Also, today, my sister and I got a session of IPL Hair Removal done. But there are obviously no photos of that. Unless you want to see my kili-kili… in which case, I will probably not show you, anyway.

    I wanted to buy Perfect from Now On. It was 50% off, y/Y? I ended up buying Jeffrey Browns, which is better (i think).

    SHOW THAT KILI-KILI!
