I am up too late

[profile] sheenaqotj is asleep on our couch. How weird.

Today I finished Dragon Wing. I liked it, although I had guessed the truth about everyone WAY before it was all revealed. After that, I went shopping. I went to Target in Northgate, which did NOT have a Hello Kitty bath mat, or any other Hello Kitty bath/shower stuff. So I just got a laundry basket. I went to Best Buy and bought a printer. A Canon S520. You can all laugh at me now if you think Canon inkjet printers suck. Eli had told me to get the cheapo S300, but it is SO ugly and the 520 was only $30 more and apparently prints pictures much better.

We went to Cap Hill and had dinner at the house of [personal profile] jeliza, [personal profile] rubylou, and [profile] seanmcguire. We ate outside, and it was chilly, but dinner was steak, which made up for it. After dinner I entertained the cats for a bit, and then we all went out. While in the car, Sheena called me like "hey, I'm with my bughouse friends and they are boring as heck," so I told her to meet us at Half Price Books in the U district, since we were headed there. At HPB I got the next three Death Gate books. But WTF? Thumbing through them it seems they don't deal with the characters from the first one at all. Grr! Hugh was my favorite character, I'm not going to be happy if he's *really* dead... anyway, I got some movies, too, and we found Sheena, and we went to some place called Stella's where we had desserts and talked and stuff. Afterwards we stopped by the house in Cap Hill again, where Rachael showed us her new hurdy-gurdy. It is quite a complicated instrument, and they definitely don't make 'em like they used to (hers has an electronic tuner, and inputs and outputs and all kinds of stuff on it). But it's cool, and it scares the crap out of cats.

I drove home, getting vaguely lost, but also getting to drive through downtown. It was fun. I'm not sure if we'll do sightseeing with Sheena tomorrow or if we'll go do other things. I kind of want to go on a rampage and get bathroom things for our downstairs and upstairs bathrooms, like shower curtains and bath mats and all. It's not like me, really. I'm also not sure whether I'll seriously go get all HK stuff. It'd be FUNNY but I bet Eli would kill me. Maybe I'll do ducks instead. I like ducks.

The last notable thing about today is that I wore my mini-kilt and my kogal-style loose socks, the ones I knitted like last Christmas. I like the way they look, but I need better clothes and shoes to wear them with, I think.
