Well, that was a complete waste of gas: tried to exchange some cat food, they didn't have any. Tjmaxx & marshalls for shirts, I hate everything. Target was out of the 2 things I forgot yesterday.

I hate shopping.

Happy Father's Day to all the awesome Buffista Dads!

I looked at the flare dress, and my bottom is larger than my top, so that drapey fit would not be a good thing.

The nursing home had ice cream sundaes for Father's Day, so that was nice. A woman my father knew was there, and when she said, "It's whatever from wherever!" he was like, "Sure!" He's still such a faker.

Edit: He didn't say anything after that, which is much more the norm, but I kind of love it that he still knows how to respond to stuff.

Barnes & Noble is having a 40% off sale on DVDs. Sure, you can get DVDs cheaper elsewhere, but B&N generally has stuff it's hard to find. I actually found The Equalizer, which I've only seen online, plus several original Doctor Who DVDs (whover decided to sell those one episode per disc was a genius/jerk). Along with The Equalizer, I got Doctor Who Fang Rock, Claws of Weng Chang, Greatest Show in the Universe, and Terror of the Zygons (the Loch Ness Monster episode, I couldn't resist Tom Baker in a tartan tam o'shanter). And to top it off, they had The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.! I can watch Timothy Leary as a botany professor again!

edit: Once I can get Happiness Patrol and Silver Nemesis, I'll be content with my Doctor Who collection. I've already got ahems of Nine.

I have Silver Nemesis on loan from the library right now. (I own Happiness Patrol, which in Australia and the UK is marketed in a boxed set called Ace Adventures, along with Dragonfire. It has one of the best special features I've seen on these discs, namely a documentary on the relationship between Doctor who and politics.)

Timelies all!

Am at the closing jam, which is kind of jam-ish.

I had brunch plans today, but I begged off because my back was aching and my head hurt and also I just didn't want to get out of bed yet. I've made it to 100% of the plans I've had lately, including one movie where I was the only person who didn't bail at the last minute, so I feel okay with this.

I'm amazed by how much stuff I keep finding to throw away.

Thank you juliana, brenda, and Zen. I have bookmarked and pinned your awesome ideas.

Father's Day was great. I started off by watching an episode of Daredevil while I folded and ironed clothes. Then, met the family at a Tex-Mex restaurant for brunch, one of our favorite places. Afterward, I took my father to the local botanical gardens and they just happened to have their annual rose show, one day only, so we really lucked out. I dropped dad off at home after arranging to take in a movie next Sunday. (Mad Max, it will be my third viewing.) Then, toddled off to do the chores I didn't do yesterday, namely the grocery shopping.

Now, I'm just sitting with the fan blowing on me (I don't use the AC if I can help it, it really racks up my energy bill) debating having some kind of tasty libation (over and above the mimosa with brunch.)

I hope all the dads, and folks with dads who were able to celebrate with them, has had as good a day.

I love Ace so much. I know people diss Happiness Patrol, but I love the use of music in it. I love Sylvester McCoy's Doctor and his love of music (another wonderful part of Silver Nemesis).

edit: love love love, maybe I'll listed to some Lady Gaga.
