A Victim Treats his Mugger Right:

More people are using thrift stores http://www.dailynewstribune.com/homepage/x1056541039 . I'm sure its the combination of the economy and the more recent push for a more "green" lifestyle. Given new tax laws, for the first time ever I did ask for a receipt for a large bag of donations earlier this year.

Wow! The Barn in Newton is still open http://www.dailynewstribune.com/homepage/x899762994 . My Mom used to take us there for shoes before each new school year started (until we couldn't quite afford their more designer stuff anymore). I always forget that the place is there.

From the "what the hell is wrong with people camp", a state worker goes through the Dunkie's drive through naked: http://www.dailynewstribune.com/state/x125182027

A coworker let me borrow The Mist http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0884328/ last night before she returned it. I thought it was well done in that 'screaming at the slow dumb people in the horror movie' sort of way, though the ending was so, so sad and horrible. I guess that's Stephen King for you!

Dance class tonight - our tap costumes are in so we'll be able to try them on and see how they look.

The shoes I am wearing today are from the Barn!
I needed real shoes for work about 5 years ago and was beside myself because I could not find ANYPLACE that had my size.

They were on sale and have lasted & lasted!

The movie ending was sad and horrible for the characters, or for you?

No! It's a completely different ending from the book. The book leaves everything open, but in the movies, that would mean a sequel. So no sequel means that the ending has to change to eliminate that possibility.

I can't really watch any kind of horror movies and I had read the book, but when my friend saw it in the theatres she was as pissed off as I would have been.

Glad he didn't go to my usual Dunkies in town.
