post-christmas musings

[really written on 27/ 12/ 05!]
It's amusing how many people can't figure out how to get into Costa coffee on Bothwell St, including me! but now i get to smugly sit inside and watch others puzzle (secret: there's a door access button on either side of the entrance!)! i'm working today (for double time, woo!)and blogging onto the back of an order pad from work- it's horrible cos christmas is over and all the insane, elbowing, bargain shoppers are out in their droves, spending copious amounts of money on more 'stuff'. i'm all for a bargain but it's almost disgusting seeing how much people spend! this one lady today spent £284.03... on christmas cards for next year! and she was so snooty about it. that costs more than flights from london to new york with american airlines! NYC... cards?? it's not a tough call! it's only a month and half til i go to new york- Chris won flights which is great, but i actually have no money for everything else involved! got tickets for the Empire state building for christmas which was cool, and some dollars (but not as many as i'd hoped for... is that selfish!?? it's just that all the people usually guaranteed to give me money bought me (mostly rubbish- do they know me at all!??!?!) gifts! that sounds so ungrateful, but seriously, pink inflatable vibrating shoes!?) saying that i did get some super cool presents, incl. an amazing pair of pink and yellow peanuts pj's (all the way from canada) and some giant furry slipper boots! and 6 scarves! anyone cold...?
