a wolf angel is not a good angel

I spent the entire bloody day shopping today. It was successful, mostly, though I need shoes. But it was long. I am most excited by the hair clips (shiny! sparkly!) that I got from a secondhand store that just opened up nearby. They’re a pair, which is very hard to find, and they have a weird clasp mechanism that I prefer to a normal barrette, and they’re all fake jewelled. (As someone with huge amounts of hair, anything that isn’t very glitzy gets very lost.)

Actually, I don’t really remember what else I got, other than some basic shirts from H&M, because I am so excited by the hair clips. Oh, jeans and brown cords. And a Mexican hot chocolate mix, for those of us (the sane ones) who like hot chocolate.

You know, if the writer’s strike doesn’t end (sigh), maybe I’ll actually watch The Wire. Or Boston Legal. Or the second season of Life on Mars. Or The Tudors. Or endless reruns as background noise, whichever.

I got three new library books today, and I am so excited to read all of them (which I am sure will lead to disappointment) that I can’t decide and so I haven’t actually started any. But the anticipation is also nice.

Pretty much I am better (some coughing, but not as terrible), and I am much more optimistic than I have been lately, in the sense of the past many months. I don’t know I’ll wake up optimistic tomorrow, but it’s nice even for just today.
