i'm not the type of girl who goes shopping and i'm certainly not the type of girl who goes shopping the day after the day after thanksgiving. however, today i did, because i haven't bought new clothing in quite some time and when my mom's offering, i tend to cave in. i ended up with a pair of nine west ankle boots and a pair of blue etienne something or other shoes as well as a new pair of gap flat front khakis, two gap skirts (black + gray) and a pair of levis jeans. all in all, i am pretty amazed that i found anything at all that i liked. i had no hopes for today's shopping excursion, so it was a pleasant surprise to walk away with three bags full!

last night i saw 'El Crimen del Padre Amaro' with jen. it was absolutely totally depressing [duh]. afterwards, we got mama lucia's pizza, which really IS like the best pizza in the word, then i went home, started reading shopgirl, and then called her later to convince her to go see black eyes/parlour scouts/short stack @ art-o-matic with me! let me just say right now that black eyes are fucking amazing. i can't believe i've missed them like 10,000 times before. more LJ kids were there than i care to even try to < lj user >. i hung out with ginny and met her friend andy, who lives like 10 minutes from me and works at the old town olsson's. i didn't get to see very much art, so that is what i am going to do tonight before the cassettes go on. i'm off to pick up stephen + kevin p scouts now. YAY! apparently, we're going to yell out exclamations in french to the cassettes! this should be fun!

random 1: last night was perfect for scenester spotting, however, NEITHER IAN was present! what's up with that?

random 2: what's up with boys in dc growing beards? seriously.
