Dead tired.

I've been up since midnight.
6506 and I aren't getting along. She's way overdue for service and her cruise control is broken. Seven hours of hammer-down. I'm just starting to feel my toes again. The drive to Gary is going to be brutal.

Then, Bun had a daypass, so we went out and about. Mudd got new glassess. We went to Barnes & Noble. I have a book in the Eyewitness series, The Future. Very cool. Mudd got It Can't Happen Here. Bun picked up Good Omens and Jonner bought a whole stack, spending all his birthday money, by his choice. A couple of [pirate books, a horse book, a Yugioh book and a game of the Gross.

We banged around the mall while Mudd got glasses. Claires yielded two pieces of cursed Aztec Gold. Hot Topic got us all KINDS of stuff: a skirt for Bun, Calendar, Naruto gloves, a locket for Dollface (with a pic of Jack Sparrow in) and a wristband that reads "Prepare to be borded."

I took surveys.
I made $6, got a free TV dinner (Marie Callender) and had a rum and coke made with the best rum I've ever tasted: Seven Tiki. It's a premium white rum from Fiji. Smooth as glass, sweet and with a lovely burn.

We had Chinese for dinner, and because Mudd couldn't see and I was dead, we took Bun back about 8 ish, an hour early.



So, door prizes for the Pirate party are all lined up:
5 copies of the book
1 pirate throwing star
1 piece of cursed gold on a necklace
1 wristband

There will be 5 winners. I'm thinking that those who come by the reading should get extra entries?

Also ordered matchbooks. Dark sloop was a very clear winner.
