Shopping and birthdays!
Apr. 10th, 2005 06:05 pmYesterday was MasseyPrincess's birthday and birthday celebration: a small dinner at Springrolls and a much larger party at Gypsy Co-op. Lots of fun had by all, except for the one poor friend who spent two hours at the bar unsuccessfully searching for us before finally giving up and going home. MasseyPrincess, her sister, ComedyWriter and I ended the evening with a quick stop at Mel's for poutine and Montreal smoked meat sandwiches.
This afternoon MasseyPrincess and I went reconnaissance shopping (and late birthday gift shopping). MasseyPrincess will be getting some money in a month, and wants to spend some of it on a new leather jacket, so we decided a preliminary look was in order. While there, she suggested that I try on a lime green jacket that she discarded because it looked fairly awful on her (unfortunately, because that was the colour she really wanted). Lime green is not a colour I normally wear. Blue and pink--yes. Black, grey, and white--absolutely. Green of any shade? Almost never. But MasseyPrincess has a history of picking out items for me that I'd never choose for myself, but that turn out to look good and so I tried it on, and well...the jacket worked. It really worked. So now I'm trying to convince myself that a $300 leather jacket is a completely justifiable purchase. And still trying to figure out what to get MasseyPrincess for her birthday.
Tonight's dinner and television night with FrenchWriter and AmericanAnglo, and then tomorrow I begin working on an article review that's due Thursday, an outline for the report on how Canadians use the internet for leisure, and the two papers that are due in two weeks. And I should also try to do those last five interviews.
