I hate Costco. I hate Kmart. I hate Walmart. The most depressing, and illuminative beacons of Western, spiritual, and philosophical debauchery, they are. I can't walk into any of those stores without feeling angry and sad.

yes. that would be the corporations. they are sickening and disgusting, but there's nothing i can do about it. that's why i don't mind getting a life supply of gum for 6 bucks.

Well, IN THEORY, you could start firebombing corporate locales and headquarters. Although, I still think the best course of action is letting them run themselves and this retarded culture of the masses into the ground.

i love walmart. i bought the best pair of lounge-around-your-trailor sweat shorts EVER. they rock. they're like mckinley's socks except "like sitting on clouds." But really, these stores mainly cater to lower-income families who have to buy everything in bulk cheeply from school supplies to underwear, and when you think of the actual poverty rate of the US (almost thirty percent in N.O. as we've all discovered recently) it's just basic supply and demand. mass culture is the only thing most people can afford. do something about that before you firebomb headquarters, k ( ... )

Oh right, since you mentioned books, if you happen to see them, buy them immediately.

Fairly easy to get through, very satisfying, and in many ways, life changing.

don't worry, buying books and socks does not qualify you for the gallows.

and becareful with the knitting, keep it in moderation or you may be inflicted by the same extreme wool fetish as Ms. Shand. Be warned. Saying that though, everytime i start knitting i ralize i don't have enough wool for anything substantial, subsequently i have a series of useless plush rectangles. too small for scarves, too big for hotplates.

haha, don't worry, i WILL NOT develop a wool fetish like Ms. Shand. aaahh.
and consider your rectangles of knitting your practice gauges and whatnot. next time just make sure you buy enough yarn for whatever project you're working on and ask the store owner if he/she thinks you have enough yarn for what you paln on making. i like knitting. i'm now making hand warmers for ian (oh no, i hope he doesn't see this). my next project (i hope) is a pair of knee socks for myself.
