okay. so i went out late this afternoon to do the music store rounds and get a few cd's since i had a lot money floating around.
i stopped by the bookstore first. they didn't have the books i wanted but i ended up buying 3 books that i'd been meaning to get. two usually very expensive hardcover books - michael moore's stupid white men and dude, where's my country? (both at 30% off. nice) - and then nick hornby's how to be good - for good measure :) i'm becoming such the literate type. lol (i know, i'm just starting and those are quite far from being considered "literate" novels. but i've never been into books as much as i seem to have become these past few weeks.
after running around a couple of stores and not finding anything useful, i stumbled in to the archambault. after checking out the various genres for cd's on my list (and not having any goddamn luck with it), i heard a friend of mine who works there. so i chatted a bit with him. then i stumbled another friend/acquaintance who works there and we got to talking about music we've been listening to lately.
we talked for about 15-20 minutes, going through hip hop, electro, and jazz. and since i didn't have any luck finding any of rza's earlier works, i asked him about gza, not knowing anything other than his affiliation with the wu-tang since they had two of his albums.
so that's what i went away with, gza/genius's beneath the surface and legend of the liquid sword.
i'm happy. at least i got those without paying *too* much.
oh, another thing i wanted to share. i think this one girl flirted with me. lol. yep. i think it was the wool sweater i was wearing that i've been told looks good on me. anyway. she works at the store, been working there about a year now. i noticed her before, of course. i think she may be a singer, i've never been sure if that was her or not.
anyway, so yeah, she was finishing up with the customer in front of me at the register, and i felt her turn to me so i looked up and she gave me the nicest smile and said 'hi' to me. i said 'hi' back. she wasn't even done with the other customer. so then it's my turn, we smile at each other (i think by this point, i may have been unconsciously getting shy. who knows). so she asks me again how i'm doing. lol. 'pretty good', i say. lol. what else can you talk about? i mean, if you're a dufus like me, that is :)
but anyway, i'll make sure i go back in the next few weeks. she's nice but that's the first time she's really made a point of being extra nice to me, you know?
that's it.
