I've been debating spending priorities. I want to go back to Michigan for Con Ja Nai. I'm also debating about buying furniture. Specifically, I need a new table and chairs, a new desk chair, and a new bed. Can't afford the new bed this month, and a really good desk chair (read: Aeron) would run me nearly $700, but I can probably do the table and chairs for $300-$400.
Thus is my bachelor lifestyle. At least I always have booze money. To wit
(11:44:36 PM) VRMN: your bachelor life confuses and disturbs me
So I was walking to my favorite hangout-with-booze last night. It was a bit chilly, nothing major. On the last street crossing before the warm refuge, I hear something from two random guys that I actually recognize. Noise falls away for an instant.
"Necronomicon."
I stop and just look at them for a second. Once more it sticks out of their conversation like an iceberg.
"Necronomicon."
I suppress a shudder, and beeline for the bar. Muttering about the Pnakotic Manuscripts.
