everything is possible

last night on our date we went to my most favorite mall ever, the mission viejo mall. there was a big sign saying "farrell's this way" but alas it wasn't yet open. i am cautiously excited because while i am dying to go in, the place makes me sick with nerves. the big booming terrifyingly LOUD drum and horns and whistles and things going off ALL THE TIME with no warning... crowds of organic children tasting sugar and additives for the first time, overmedicated parents with dulled senses of what's annoying about their kids, balloons popping left and right.... and farrell's is in the FOOD COURT : i don't like to dine in foods courts (nor al fresco. nor at carls jr/bk/chickfila/tacobell/jack in the box/pinkberry/sprinkles/wahoos/rubios/arbys) definitely NO food courts. not even for adorably ridiculous pig's trough desserts ;)

my shrinky dink obsession continues to grow expedentially ;) having read the instructions all the way through, i have invested in some 'artist colored pencils' as used by 'artists' such as myself :) i will report back on whether the $3 colored pencils work better than the $350 set : i didn't spend that much.... i spent $10 and ummed and ahhed for a good half hour about that :

i want this book. and i want this book too but i can't decide which one i want more : i am wondering if i should just get socks and gloves instead of just gloves because we don't have that many gloves laying around with it being 91 degrees on any given day of the year. and i can already imagine myself buying gloves just to make cute creatures out of.... on the other hand, i generally find single socks feeling all lost and forlorn and it would be awesome to be able to give them some sense of purpose and selfworth again.

    There were leaves rather than apples on the tree on Danny's wall last week, right. Or was I hallucinating?

    I have a secret too. Don't tell anyone (this is a private blog right?) but I OWN that lens. Or something like it. I inherited the old non-IS version from a friend's mum who died.
    But I don't use it. It was great for wildlife when I was on safari and in the polar regions, but I'm too embarrassed to take it anywhere else. It's just too vulgar and showy-offy and I really can't manage it without a tripod, or a mono at the very least. So my 'hubble telescope' just sits in it's fancy-schmancy case gathering dust. [Hangs head in shame]
