Tuesdays...

alasanon...sometimes change. It's odd, and doesn't happen often, but some Tuesdays are not like the others. This Tuesday is one of those. Instead of just going to my friend's house, we're going out shopping.
Now, I have certain issues with shopping. It's an enjoyable enough pastime most of the time, or when I have money, and especially good when I actually have something to shop for. However, when I'm feeling unsociable, or lacking funds, or simply not in the mood for new things (don't laugh! it can happen!), shopping becomes a trial of sorts. I'm prone to minor fits of flipping out in department stores, in particular. I just don't like they way they smell, or the implications of affluence that they often carry. On the other hand, I'm always ready to pore through a bookstore, sometimes for hours.
I love bookstores, especially small, unique, or used bookstores. Chains don't thrill me in the same way and I almost never set foot in a Barnes & Noble.
Ah, I must away--my workplace calls. But tonight, shopping with friends instead of watching mindless and violent television programmes.
It's a beautiful thing.
