Scented Skulls?

For crying out loud, why do none of my car-having friends ever need to go to the store?  Don’t they eat?!

I need to get me a Radio Flyer wagon or something.

 

Ah, well. Having to walk to Safeway meant I could stop by that crazy pagan bookstore.* I wanted to get a replacement for my small and infinitely cool Jolly Roger earring, which was appropriately lost in the Indian Ocean.  They don’t carry them anymore, but they do carry some very nice scented candles.  They apparently protect one from the Evil Eye,** and they smell nice, too!

 

I have discovered a problem which might make my jitters about this writing group moot, anyway: I have no idea when I’ll get time to read one-to-six drafts every week, much less write anything.  But that may be just that I have a midterm and an essay this week. With luck after that I’ll have a bit more free time.

 

Then I can write something interesting here, too!

Heh...kinda reminds me of this occult store that just opened up in town. Some of the paleo grad students went over there one afternoon and got kicked out. Why? Because they were--get ready for this!--browsing through the store, taking their time looking at things, and actually wanting to buy a few items. The daughter (the store is owned by a father/daughter team) said they had 'bad vibes'.

This is of course the most sensible way to run a business. u_u

I feel your grief in the non car possessing aspect. I have baskets on my bike for that : P.

But, if you're in need of groceries and someone to drive you, walk to the store, gather all your food, and then give APS or DDS a call (depending on the time). It's free, and believe me, I would know (we actually picked up some guys who were grocery shopping and needed a ride across town!).

Also, which pagan bookstore are you talking about? Tsunami?

Bike panniers are GREAT. That's how I do all my grocery shopping...when I can't mooch a ride, anyway.

You write something interesting here every day. >_>

Was that only sell nice, or also smell nice? It works both ways, is why I'm curious. n_n

Oops! It's "smell." I've been wrestling with an unwieldy keyboard and have noticed a marked increase in typos lately--and I HATE typos. Thanks for catching it.

It DOES work both ways, though. The bookstore does itself well. A nice big space for the cockatiels, even! (I may write about THEM today ...)
