books

So I love to buy books on clearance. I mean I read real books too that like people recommend or are known or popular but I like these random finds that are in the clearance bins at the book stores. Sometimes they end up being trash and horrible (but I still read the whole thing cuz it's weird no matter how much I do not like a book I still force myself to read the whole thing). Anywho, sometimes they aren't good but a lot of time I end up really enjoying them and for like 3 or 4 bucks each you can't go wrong trying. Like some of them seriously end up being some of my favorite books of all times. This one Turning Thirty for example is really quite entertaining and enjoyable. Am I saying it is a literary masterpiece, no! But it is like really just stuff I enjoy to read. Like romantic comedyish in book form. Or just like friends having fun and doing fun things. I don't know I am really enjoying this one and maybe noone else would but to me it is great! There have been many clearance finds like this that I just love and would never discover otherwise. I think that is part of why I like going to book stores and stuff. I am too overwhelmed by books online because they are all just there and it could take years and we all know I am bad at making decisions and so I could neveer pick anything. But in a store I limit myself to like the clearance section unless I am looking for something in particular and from there I try to find something and I end up trying a lot more random books that I would not really ever have thought to buy if I had to go in and try and find one. I don't know, I like bookstores and books and I know people love their nooks but I just don't think it is for me. I really like , like looking at the books and the covers and seeing what I find. As many of you know, that is how I feel about shopping in general though, I really prefer real life shopping as opposed to online. NOt that I never shop online but like I really am a fan of the browse and touch. A real true fan of it!

Sometimes it's good to do some light reading. Something not too deep. I really like the smell of bookstores though, you can't get that online.

cyclorama

this has always been my favorite building. Prolly because I thought the people who worked inside wore roller skates while they worked

tinypliny - 02/17/11 23:46
Wait, I thought the roller-skate thing was true. Wasn't it?! Were YOU the one who told me that the office that worked there had secretaries and clerks and messengers wear roller-skates inside the building?? Don't tell me that is not true - because I must have told this to the hundreds of people who have walked me across the parking lot of the cyclorama. I mean, the name itself suggest that the building is a cycling chronicle. One would naturally assume that who ever inhabited that building cycled or roller-skated at one time.

It was a roller skating rink at one point in it's history. It has also been used as an entertainment center, a livery stable, a warehouse, a taxi garage, a library room and finally an office building. Very cool building.

Haha over would think they would. Keep that fantasy!!!

There is also a clothing store with fairly decent clothes, a rather good barber shop, GNC and one more store that I am forgetting the name of - also a clothing store.

paul - 02/16/11 21:14
The amount of plastic is unreal. I wish you could have taken pictures of it all. That what you should do. Take a pic of all of it from now and make a slideshow.
