See, I've been out all day doing... well, pretty much everything. haha. Or at least a multitude of things.
Met up with Sierra this morning at Barnes and Nobel. We looked around for a bit then went to get drinks at the Coffee Bean (I love a nice pure chocolate frappuccino. No whip cream.) After that we went and wandered aimlessly around IKEA. We stopped and looked at all the fake little rooms. I made sarcastic comments about the decor. It was wonderful. Then after that the GREATEST THING EVER happened.
I swear to you, guys, I have stumbled upon the most amazing little gem of a shop here. It's this little used book store that also sells magazines and news papers dating back to God-knows-when (my dad recently bought a couple of magazines there from the early '60's!)
The store looks absolutely gorgeous and is literally home to more books then I've ever seen. Snapped a few pictures while I was there:
Is this place not totally effing gorgeous?!?!?
Anyway, that's not even the best part. When we walked into the shop, I asked the store manager if they had any copies of Rolling Stone from the mid-90's (for any of you who don't know: I'm a bit of a 90's-culture-junkie.) I didn't really expect to find anything but boy was I wrong!
They guy lead us into the back room and started pulling out all these old, musty, archive boxes and just... handed them to us. Then, he left us alone to sift through magazine after magazine. I was hoping to find some good articles about my favorite bands and I definitely did. There was some amazing stuff there. I swear. I found some great interviews with Garbage and Shirley Manson that I am just dying to scan and post to Facebook for my fellow darklings to see. Pure gold! And they were all so cheap!
Anyway, after that, we went and got some ice cream at Foster Freeze and then we actually went ice skating. I know, how random! My brother had a birthday party to attend at the bowling alley next door, though, so it does kind of make sense. I was so happy to be on the ice. I used to skate every week for about four years when I was younger. I did classes and competitions and everything. I could even do jumps and spins and stuff (can't do anything like that anymore, sadly.) I still love the ice and I never really realize how much I miss it until I'm back on it. Hah... Hah... Hah...
After that, we headed over to the bowling alley. Bowled a game. I failed so miserably, but that was fine. We went and played arcade games like the true nerds we are, after wards. I kicked ass at level-one-super-easy Dance Dance Revolution. LIKE A BOSS.
Then we went home. Ordered pizza and bread sticks and re-watched some LOST episodes.
T'was quite an eventful day.
In other news, I think I'm finishing up Psychiatry vocals tomorrow.
Starting to think about album names now...
