tommyrot, I'm glad court went well!

Well, um... i have to go back in two months. To give me time to get all the paperwork straightened out. There is still a possibility of jail, but it looks to be very remote, unless I insult the judge and tell him he's too much of a pussy to give me jail time.

But really, his whole attitude was that this is just a minor thing (because it stems from an unpaid out-of-state speeding ticket).

that's 'cuz it's Global Bazaar. My bad.

Or mine. It's the llama's fault It was too cute for me to listen properly.

I need to go to Target this weekend.

eta: I'm glad it went okay, Tommyrot. I hope the next session will.

Congrats, Hil!

Colin Farrell. Meh. He doesn't disgust me or anything, he just doesn't ping on my lustometer. And it's not an eyebrow thing, because I think Peter G. is kinda hot.

Good luck with the New Exciting Snow, northeastern US folks. We're expecting freezing rain in NC this Sunday. I think I'd rather have snow. Not 2-3 feet of it, but still. I hate freezing rain -- you can't go out and play in it.

All I know is that Cost Plus gives me Coffee Crisps, single-serving packages of Nutella, and cheap decent wine, so Target's going to have to work it to break my loyalty.

Target has a very antiseptic feel for me. So even if the stuff is good, I don't think I'd like being there in the same cozy way I can get from Cost Plus.

Hey! It rained here!

I prefer a cleaned-up Colin Farrell, but really I'd take him in any condition.

Global Market is basically Target trying to horn in on Cost Plus and Pier 1.

TRHANK YOU! That's what it looked like from the commercials. And those stores have that stuff all the time!

Colin looks skeezy and/or skanky. Do NOT want that anywhere near my lady parts.

It's 34 degrees here. SO ANNOYING. It just makes for slush and puddles and mud and gross. Yuck.

I have a mouse. I don't know the exact definition of "mouse" in this context, since I'd have called it a slight black eye. Living and learning.

I had a mouse once! It was a puffy area under my eye, not an all-around black eye. But I got mine babysitting.

Bush sounds so annoyed in his press conference.

THANK YOU! That's what it looked like from the commercials. And those stores have that stuff all the time!

Which ties into my horror at being in the downtown store when the Bazaar was first revealed. I was shopping all unawares when a horde of Marketing Managers from HQ descended on the section next to me, and I heard exclamations of "It's so cuuuuuuuute!" and "Everything's so unique!" I turned the corner to see what was causing such a commotion, and was confronted with stacks of chairs that are directly copied from chairs Pier 1 has carried for decades, piles of cheaply-embroidered pillows, and the sight of overly-tanned, Midwestern-fashionable managers cooing over plaster Buddhas.

I had to flee.

Which is not to say there's not good stuff there. Just that being in the middle of a stampede of Minnesota shoppers is never a good place to be, especially for a misanthrope that used to manage a Pier 1.
