i couldn't believe it.
so yesterday the ex and i went shopping. i found a nice North Face tuque but it was $40 so i left it there. we tried almost all of them on for a good 15-20 minutes but none looked too good on me; the ones that looked good on their own were either too small or made weird bumps on the top of my head. i'm gonna go get that one tomorrow, i think. $45 for a tuque that i'll wear for a few years and especially feel good in is not that much.
we passed by HMV. it's not my favorite store to shop in because they've mostly got a lot of overpriced cd's (indie labels mostly $26. no thanks) but it had been a long time since i last shopped or browsed for cd's in a store so i checked out their whole inventory. they have 2/$25 and 2/$30 sales going on but they got new discs in there. i picked up The Shins' Chutes Too Narrow and Jérôme Minière's Chez Herri Kopter for $25 (btw, both Shins albums were 2/$25, and 2/$30 for Pavement's deluxe edition of Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain). they had a bunch of interesting discs on sale. the Snow Patrol album was gonna be my 2nd disc before i stumbled on Jérôme Minière's. anyone can convince me to go back and get the Snow Patrol disc? i also got Esthero's new ep, We R in need of a musical ReVoLuTIoN! (hopefully none of the tracks, except for the title track, will appear on the new album.) anyone got the O.G. Bitch single? it's got a bunch of remixes on there and i was wondering how that was. hey, according to Esthero's website, O.G. Bitch won't be appearing on the upcoming album anymore. so there's a disc i'll have to get. seeing all these new Esthero discs in store was exciting. i remember getting heavily into her (/them) back in 96-98. i was also listening to the album a lot on my discman while working back then. hmmm, good times.
OOH!
yesterday i finally got my 2nd DVDPacific package !!!
i couldn't believe it (there's lots of things i can't believe). there was a key waiting for me in my mailbox for the bigger boxes. the new edition of M and L'avventura were in there. finally. i was happy.
i spent the afternoon at my ex-roommate's, playing with the cat, taking a short walk (it was hella cold yesterday) and finishing up the second series of the The Office (which was devastatingly good -- especially the last episode).
update, 1:01 pm
today's a great day -- after yesterday's arrival of my cherished DVDPacific package, today i found my two missing Zip discs (along with a 3rd one that shipped tuesday) waiting for me in the mail. ah... nice feeling. this turned out to be a great week. these two packages were the two i was most worried about. the third one's the Saddle Creek/Bright Eyes order, which will work itself out. i'm not worried.
Zip discs i got today:
Garden State
Oz (The Complete First Season, Disc 1)
Homicide: Life on the Street (The Complete Seasons 1 & 2, Volume 1)
