 How come peeps don't use Zippo's to light up anymore?  I don't even smoke but I had to get one.  I may start cigar smoking but for now, I'll always have a light for the ladies.  I also got some new books from the used book store.
 
 Hocus Pocus - K.Vonnegut
 Neuromancer - W.Gibson
 The Memory of Earth - OS.Card
 
 I really wanted to get more Dune novels but they only had the classic first Dune of which I already bought a copy of, from that same place just under two years ago.
 
 I'm surprised that place still exist (Barrett Book Traders).  I only get a chance to go there occasionally but its fun to go there and find something.  I've only been there two other times and both times during a saturday.  Its like a pilgrimage for me to go towards that end of the neighborhood.  The last time I was there was just under two years ago so I wasn't sure at all if the place existed.  Everytime I've made this pilgrimage, I feel a transcental change coming over me.  This bookstore is in a pretty earthly part of the island.  I always end up exploring something when I make these sort of trips.  I even overheard a conversation from one of the store keeps about gay chinese people having sex on his hotel bed.
 
 After book store and smoke shop, I walked all the way to my end of the world.  I went a bit of stalk'n for my HS crush who was not to be found.   Theres a pretty long (or short) story about that which will be told in later comments or post.
 
 Oh, I even had my dad get the fuel for this thing on his way to the wine store.  I forgot to get zippo fuel in the first place but I have it now.  FIRE RULES!
