American consumerism

[threeplusfire]

Went so spend the other part of my gift card at a ridiculous clothing store. I would never ordinarily go anywhere near such a place. At least I was able to find some shorts and some tshirts not plastered with the store logo or some other ridiculous 70s inspired nonsense. While in the store, the power kept going out. I suggested to my friend Deb that we start the looting, while the employees ran around with their useless headsets.

After going to a half dozen stores, I can't understand why there are no Dr Marten Mary Janes to be found. Damn it. I just wanted some shoes. Other circumstances intervene, and I think I won't be able to afford them anyway, so perhaps it is not so bad.

I'm sure you already know about it, but Buffalo Exchange (if it's still there...things change before my eyes sometimes) is a great place to find used (gently worn) Docs. I usually meander over there in the summer when it's not quite so picked over by the trendy college crowd. Mainly, I just go for the toy store next door. : )

Toy Joy!

Oh, I love Toy Joy! I always see something I want in there. I have the neatest stuffed flying squirrel from there. It squeaks. :)

Yes, the Buffalo exchange has good shoes. I still kick myself for not buying those silver Docs I saw right before Halloween. Must.. find.. shoes...
