On the way down.

It's been a rough, busy few days. I've been passing out early and waking up in the middle of the night to go on late-night shopping binges. My bank account is reflecting such. I try to justify my excessive spending by telling myself that it's for the sake of art, that I'm fueling and feeding the indie writers I love and the ones I'm sure I'll grow to love.

It's an obsession.

Like the journals I keep buying and my newest addiction www.etsy.com and zines and wall shelves. I'm officially going nuts with the spending and I have no idea how to curb my crazy crazy addiction to things and words.

The bright side out of all this? I got to interact on the interwebs with an amazing lesbian author/poet/zine-ist/comedian/playwright/jack-of-all-f*cking-trades by the name of Carissa Halston whom you should definitely get to know. She has profiles on Amazon and Etsy. Hint, hint. I also got to get some pretty awesome looking/sounding zines by women I've never heard of, but definitely want to get to know. Stay tuned for those reviews.

One thing though that I should have just left on the godamn interwebs was this wall shelf that I thought was a really good bargain... It's a bargain because it's in pieces. Seriously. I have to like put it together and I don't know anything about that. Phillips head? What? Ridiculousness. I've been working on it for the last four hours, and let me tell you... There's a reason you're supposed to use a nail file to screw things in. I'm only 1/4 of the way done =/

Save me from my internet surfing.

I did get some pretty sweet gifts for my two favorite ladies. Since I waited until the last minute to do Christmas shopping, I had to pay an arm and a leg (EFF you USPS!!) for shipping and handling, but whatever. It's worth knowing I might have put a smile on their faces.

Kira: I hope the book is hilarious. I didn't proofread. It was 2 in the morning when I ordered it lol I can't be blamed for what I picked out for your gag gift.

Jeez. Sleep. I need sleep.
