2004-02-06 12:25:39 ET Yesterday was interesting. Lars, Katrina, and I went down to Pomona to go to the army surplus store they had been telling me about. You see, I felt the sudden urge to go and get some goggles, it had been eating away at me for a couple of weeks, and I decided to do something about it. I did not find anything that tickled my fancy until we went to a thrift store and I found spiffy ones, black with blue lenses, Lars was rightfully jealous. We decided after that we would go on to Hollywood, to Melrose, to visit the small boutiques that line the streets but none of us knew how to get there from Pomona so we went on a quest to find public internet access that finally led us to a cyber cafe that was full of noisy, pre-adolescent boys playing computer games. As it always seems, one of the boys inquired wether or not I was Lar's girlfriend. He also liked my coffin purse as well. Needless to say, we found our directions and after an hour of suffering in traffic, we made it to Melrose. Unfortuanately, we did not get too much time there because most of the stores were closing or in the process of closing since it was about 7:00pm. We did end up getting to see the places we wanted though. Shrine was lovely, though terribly overpriced, their Lip Service stuff was at least $10 more expensive than the clothing Lippy sells on it's own website, I was a tad annoyed by that but obviously, people still buy the clothing, or else they would not be able to do that. We also went to Retail Slut, which was not nearly as interesting as I thought it would be, though it was not without it's charms. We will have to go back earlier or during the weekend, when more things are open. Oh, and when we all have more money. We ended up going to Amoba music which was awesome, I was determined to find something they did not have. I failed though, since the only thing I thought they might not have, they did have, just not at that current time, oh, so close! ::Snaps fingers:: I did end up buying a couple of cds, RevCo and Skinny Puppy, I was pleased. All in all, it was a nice evening, though you do come to a realization that window shopping is only so much fun, I really need to have more money! ~_^ |
