Well, now. Happy Saint Patrick's day to you all. I led a full and productive day. I dragged ass outta bed early to shuffle off to the bank and deposit my paycheck and a check into Gavan's account to cover the mortgage and some utilities. Oh boy. I love spending my money as soon as it hits my account! Ain't nothing finer!
After the bank, I biked up to Market Street and wandered around The Gallery, a mall that covers several blocks in Centre City Philadelphia. I stopped in at Babbage's and bought myself the expansion for the Icewind Dale game, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter. Have I mentioned that I'm a big ol' geek? Well, I am. After I biked home from the mall, I went and liberated my car from the parking garage and stashed it on a street where they don't have permit parking, so I shouldn't have to worry about moving it for a day or so. I'll probably go check on it tomorrow, just out of paranoia. Finally, after parking the car, I took a walk along South Street, which is an education in and of itself. There was an unending parade of attractive people walking about in Philadelphia today, my friends. Men, women, boys, girls, even beautiful toddlers following along after beautiful parents. Kinda sickening, actually. And not to be left out, the alternative crowd was there as well - hair in every hue of the rainbow.
I stopped off at Hats in the Bellfry and saw Karen Peakes, lovely wife of Ian Merrill Peakes. I went into the store looking for a little fedora hat a la Frank Sinatra circa 1950, but they didn't have much of anything along those lines, so Karen talked me into a rather cool suede number. Yeah, I know, doesn't sound so great, but it looks cool on me. Maybe I'll break my rule and snap a pic of myself in it.
