Last tuesday when my religion class was canceled I went to browse around at the bookstore on my way home and bought a couple of nifties. I searched for the latest Robin Hobb and Juliet Marillier but both authors’ sections was empty as if a herd of fans had came in before me… I continued looking around searching for a novel I had seen before : The Confessions of an ugly step-sister and eventually I got it. Then I made my way to the knitting & cafts section of the bookstore (I am only human!) and there I saw a really cool jeans cutting booklet that I just *had* to get for Debbie even though her birthday is in 8 months.

Tangeant. It’s all good to be against the idea of commercialism crass during christmas but I like giving gifts damnit! It isn’t a tradition that should be lost just because commercialism has taken over it. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water. End of tangeant.

In the knitting section I saw the latest book by the Yarn Harlot whose blog I read daily and I got it for myself but when I read it through I was not as impressed as with her first book and since I had re-activated my membership card they said I should carry the proof of purchase in case the card wasn’t properly re-magnetized. So I still had the coupon. I could return it. Which I did. I felt so “Badddddddddddddd to the bone” at the moment but otoh, I walked out happily with a copy of “Charmed Knits” which has some totally cool patterns of Hermione elf hats, Dobbie socks, Weasley sweaters and so much more… including a bag that looks totally awesome!! I just haven’t figured out what it has to do with Harry Potterness, but who cares? It looks hot and I want it. It also includes two patterns I already paid for but now I have them in book goodness format. So I’m very satisfied :D

Mentioning smileys, I have a definite crush on the new googleTalk ones. They are so adorable! They make me forget that today I am trying to go give blood again. I hope I manage to do it this time, no feeling faint.
