dad's wasp

dad took and photoshopped this picture of a wasp and i rather like it. i've never photoshopped anything. i don't really know what's involved. but i like this image.

a day off today! yay! i'm going chair shopping and book browsing - i'm actually thinking of going to border's, which is sort of a traumatic train of thought, as i worked there for something like a year and a half or two years and despised just about every minute of it. but there aren't other new-book bookstores in tacoma that aren't christian-book bookstores. that i know of. (well - there's waldenbooks [mini-border's] in the mall but it's very small and doesn't have much to offer.) and i don't feel like driving to lakewood to the barnes & noble. objectively i don't see a significant difference between the horrors of barnes & noble and the horrors of border's, but the thing is i think i still know some people who work at the tacoma border's. nothing against those individuals personally, please, but the memories in general are just not good.

i'm still just so damn pleased i got out of there. there was a period of time in which i thought i never would.

today i just feel like looking at new books. yeah, and chair shopping. and a venture to the safeway will cap my errands. perhaps i'll go to the mandolin first for a coffee, as i like that place and a coffee doesn't sound bad. yeah. i think i'll do that.

i'm going to do a little writing first, and have a shower. and probably a bit more writing after i return and before kara is home from work.
