Done clothes-shopping! Yay!

Bought a copy of Monstrous Regiment with the last of my money. I may starve this week, but at least I won't run out of books until the morning.

And on the train, they kept repeating the same announcement about "please, stand away from the moving platform, as trains enter and leave the station". I mean, twice a minute. It was terribly annoying. Though not as annoying as that one time...

*dreamy flashback sequence*

I'm in the 14th street station when I hear this announcement.

Please remember panhandling is illegal...

*nodnod* Yes, it is, they've got signs up.

...If you wish to give to the poor, you should give to a reputable charity...

*nods* Yes, because you don't know where the money's going this way (unless you buy food and give that out).

...So please, don't give money to those lawbreakers.

Um, what? Now that's just cold. Lawbreakers? They're just trying to make a couple bucks!

That's the best thing I've read on LJ this week!

And so very, very true. *le sigh*

Actually, it's not. I *will* run out of things to read by morning. I'm halfway there, in fact.

This is because you read faster than the majority of mensa members think.

Not that that's a BAD thing.

I know how that goes--you buy a new book, and you're all "Oh goody something NEW to read!" and you plunge into it and it's all done by dinnertime and you're sitting sadly with the book in your lap wishing you'd spaced it out a bit more.

Pretty much, yeah. Except that I'd already read this in the store and couldn't resist buying it.
