Is a Target bag studded with plastic jewels that reads "Bling Bling" not a bit self-contradicting?

Not that I boycott Target's pedestrian fashions, but I certainly do not have delusions of grandeur (or glamor) in them.

I remember thinking the same thing when I saw that same handbag in the aformentioned Target.

A wondrous marriage of minds. I have dismaying visions of marginalized little girls groping for social acceptance with such a bag, and appearing proudly at the playground with their flimsy canvas imitation of coolness only to be ridiculed relentlessly by their fashionista superiors.

I read 'Orlando' (Orlandu? I can't recall) by Virginia Woolf. It was very interesting. I found myself lost at times. Of course I was in q bit of a rush and was still taking my time, I found myself lost. I like being lost. I'm not sure what I think of her, though. I'd have to read more of her. But she's got some good crazy.

How serendipitous--I've never read Orlando but have been considering it now that I seem to see it during my every visit to Barnes & Noble. Woolf often either infuriates or bedazzles readers with her disorienting style--lots of her sentences do not come intuitively to me, though with a little patience and deciphering can become marvelous. I've never encountered an honest individual who did not confess a little bit of confusion in their Woolf forays--hers is a spry and galloping mind difficult to keep up with.

I like her odd use of words because I tend to share the similar pathos bound oddity style when writting papers sometimes, so even though I may becaome lost I still rather enjoy something that is a variation of my style and taste.

Well, I am pleased to hear that someone enjoys the finer things in life.
