And a loooooooooot of cheap Nook books.
Yes, this has been on my spent list too. My eyes are paying the price. So much reading lately.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I've bought a lot of 1.99 ebooks. But I can't really blame that on COVID. I just . . . do that. On the other hand, I haven't bought my usual round of summer work clothes, because I'm working from home until at least 2021. It's t-shirts and shorts all day, every day. The only reason I put on shoes is to get the mail.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I bought another new-to-me film camera. And then payed more to get one of my other cameras repaired.

When I have to lie down with the microwave beanbag on my head for a migraine, I end up listening to one of John Mulaney's Netflix specials, or letting an episode of some show that I've seen a gazillion times play on the iPad while I listen to it.
I used to do that, but my go-to show I've seen a gazillion times is Hannibal, and there's no way I'm not going to *watch* it. So if the migraine comes with light sensitivity, it's all audiobooks.
And they have to be audiobooks of things I've already read.
today's delivery was a houndstooth bodysuit and a black pencil skirt. Tres chic.
That will be a fantastic outfit.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
My pandemic shopping has been mostly groceries, masks, books, and music. Hec, I like the send-some-art-to-a-friend idea!

I've bought a lot of books because supporting local authors (this summer has been like WHOA.Just added another preorder today) & indie local bookstores with pickup. Industrial-strength sports bras (they're like a bondage device, but damn, they work) athletic shorts, shoes, socks, local fundraiser does tank tops? Getting 2. Got at least one fundraiser art piece.
I pretty much only go into grocery stores rarely & my ace hardware. Indoors is lava in my phase.

Doesn't the smell make you constantly want a boozy frozen tropical drink?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I met with one of my artist friends tonight! We socially distanced and I bought to-go cocktails which we drank in the park, and discussed a commission and Goya and whatnot and it was great. I haven't seen her since January.
Side note: during a family xmas gift exchange JZ's brother asked me what she'd like. And I said, "Original art would be cool. Maybe something fannish from a Wes Anderson movie." And that's why we have a very cool little Grand Budapest Hotel painting.
