Went to the thrift shop Saturday, but didn't find much. A couple of wallets (both for about a buck! leather! in great condition!), and seven 'Wired' magazines.

Sunday, however...woohoo! Went to one of the bigger stores in town, and headed over to the CDs. They've got a few on the counter where you can look through them easily, but most of them are behind the counter in boxes. Idiots! I hate waiting for a clerk to put boxes on the counter so I can look through the CDs. Make them freely available, folks! Grrrr, and ::fists of fury!:: Though I did find Natalie Merchant, Aerosmith, Fleetwood Mac and Dada for 90 cents a piece. Triple word score!

They've also tucked VHS tapes behind the counter. My heart rate increased when I saw N* the Mix, but I've already got it. Didn't see anything else of interest, but thought something good might be waiting for me. Off to the magazines!

Hah! Nothing. Flipped through the racks, and didn't see anything even slightly fun. Turned to leave - and there it was. An NSYNC lunch sack! Yes, I may have giggled like a four year-old! It's in great shape outside, except that someone decided to make their boy!love known, and wrote "Cutey" in marker above JC and Justin's heads, with arrows leading down to the two of them. She saved most of her black marker creativity for the plain white interior though, thank goodness. There's a *huge* partial (I think it's supposed to be) asterisk taking up most of the lid, and "Sponge Bob Square Pants" has been written beneath that.

While we were going through check-out, my husband said, "All the girls will be so jealous!" and laughed, and I said, "Wow, I can't believe it. What a find!" The cashier smiled and asked what I'd found, and he was just about to ring it up. I looked down at the lunch bag and laughed and he said, "Really?" And I told him that I loved NSync, adored them. He just laughed and smiled and handed me our stuff, told me to have a good day and to enjoy my lunch bag. I rule!

Hmmm, I think perhaps I'll hit Borders this afternoon, pick up JRT's single and see if I can grab a copy of his mag cover at the same time. I wonder if Borders will have the Brit gay men's mag he'll be in? Oooooh! There's a store close by that's got just about everything; they just might stock that one.

6:15 a.m. Time to start my day...

Apropos of nothing, but everytime I see you pop up on my friends page - or anywhere else - I hear your name in a little song. Do you remember "Brass Monkey" by the Beastie Boys? That one.

Fox Monkey. That funky monkey. Fooox monkey.

I know, I know. I'm a nut and need therapy. :)
