call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

I hate writing cheques. I want to switch to fully online bill-paying but my mother objects and I have no backbone.

Additionally, in today's 7th grade history class, a bunch of students knocked a framed newspaper article from 1964 off the wall and shattered the frame everywhere. I wanted to cry.

Find me one!

Well, my friends' store does a ton of online business plus there's Powell's.

Because books.

We have a huge one here, Chester County Books & Music, and when I did a blog post about books the other day, I included links from them instead of Amazon.

When I worked at Penney's a lot of people would think they were in The Bon Ton. I did almost lose it once when a little old lady said, "What do you mean, I'm not in The Bon Bon?!?!"

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

I blame the McDonald's conglomerate for that, actually. And Starbucks, I guess, even though it isn't possessive.

I blame Truman Capote.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The nearest independent bookstore to me is a carwash. I don't even.

My boss has just told me it's okay if I don't write paragraphs in my self-assessment. Or if they're only 3-4 sentences. FML. FM now. I'm so screwed. Shoot me if you see me back here anytime soon, okay?

I think there are two independent bookstores in Kansas City, but one is specifically a children's bookstore. So there's one general purpose one. Unfortunately, it's a pretty long drive to get there.
