shopping 4th

Today I headed to broiling Glendale and did some shopping. I started at the comic book store, where I got some recent Buffy and Angel comics (though I think I may still be missing a couple of issues), then went to the mall where I returned some clothes to Gap and bought a great Nine West little black dress at Macy's, even though a LBD wasn't remotely what I was shopping for. Meanwhile, I continued to be underwhelmed by the recent INC offerings. Next I went to Tales of Mystery and Imagination, which was having a big sale, and picked up Octavia Butler's Bloodchild and David Lodge's The British Museum Is Falling Down.

Now I'm home and looking forward to a quiet evening of noveling, reading, and 1987 Ryan's Hope (and avoiding all fireworks).

Happy Fourth, to those of you who celebrate!
