lets just read

i love the smell of books. don't you? its fresh. it makes me feel smart and philosophical and artsy all at the same time. hence (one of my favorite words), i love barnes and noble. soooooooooooooooooo much. we spent about 2 hours there. looking and feeling smart. and i spent a good chunk of that time reading this fabulous book. birthday anyone?? mom??

And there were lots of books about london. LOTS. even ones about knitting london people. its a sign. 

and there were journals. ohhhhhhhh how i love journals. nice new fresh and crisp journals with their binds that have not been broken in and their pages haven't been crumpled. they smell fresh and clean and new. they almost feel warm, like they've just come off the printer. and then they get all fat and crumply because of the things i stuff in it and the vigorous writing that occurs. oh how i love a new journal and afresh set of pens. and they had this harry potter journal. and i couldn't help it. i had to. 

yes. i wrote in barnes and noble merchandise. do you know anything about the chamber of secrets. i couldn't help it. and now i can't believe that i did, but i did. yes. harry potter is my life and essence. along with traveling and barnes and noble. it was such a great and fabulous day.

ps-you should have seen adi's face when i told her i wrote in merchandise that i didn't buy. it was priceless.
