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.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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!

Also, for audiobooks, do you all know about Libro.fm?

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?

Hec, I like the send-some-art-to-a-friend idea!
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.
