Because what i really need are more books

green apple bookstore warehouse sale | consumption central | opens 12/26/06
Ah, Christmas is over (well, okay 13 more minutes to go), and it seems that it's already time to start acquiring things again. but if those things are books, maybe it doesn't count right? you're *supposed* to spend money on life-enriching items... So anyway, if you are in agreement with this kind of backwards rationalizing, then you'll want to join me at the Green "best bookstore in the world" Apple Warehouse sale, which starts on December 26 and goes until the books are gone. and if you do go, don't worry, I won't tell.

and the lord said, buy some crap.

Feria Urbana (Urban Fair) | consumption central | 12/14/06 - 12/17/06
had to create a new category for this activity! i'm a reluctant shopper, or a closeted shopper, perhaps. i don't like to talk about shopping or think about how often i do it. but once in awhile, buying crap is worth talking about. mightygoods.com is one site i'll pass along gladly; crafty fairs where crafty people get their work out in the world is another thing i'll happily pitch. this one takes place at the Canvas Gallery, my favorite place to have a glass of wine with a friend's mom, and now, my favorite place to examine other people's work and think about how i could make that (even though i rarely do). plus, christmas is coming, and there's no way i'm going to get the ninety-four knitting projects i have in the hopper in time for that holiday. so i guess i might have to actually buy things for people. dammit.
