Walked around downtown today. That was fun. I attempted to locate some new clothes for myself, but I hate clothes shopping, am too picky, and dislike spending money on things I don't consider worth it... like clothes. I found several awesome t-shirts at Buffalo Exchange but I decided that I didn't want to spend $14 on a t-shirt at a thrift store. So that was that. I also tried trapping sparrows downtown, since there are a lot of them there, but the pigeons always got the bait first. And I didn't really want a pigeon. Kestrels probably don't have the near-immunity to frounce that Merlins and Peregrines have, anyway. And I happened to be doing it right near lunch, and a ton of people started showing up, so I gave up on trapping for the day.

I did manage some successes, though. I found a copy of T.H. White's The Goshawk from, like, 1951 and managed to read about half of it throughout the day. He's such a fantastic author, and man, I'm so glad my first bird wasn't a goshawk. But it's fun to read about his experiences, haha. I also had dim sum for lunch with my mom - not at the real dim sum place but at the Asian Station lunch cart, which was pretty awesome anyway, even if they didn't have the amazing lotus-wrapped rice with barbecued pork inside.

I also managed to entertain myself by judging people's reactions to Church!shirt. I walked into a Gamestop and browsed, and the guy behind the counter grinned - can't be every day a girl walks into a gaming store with a RvB shirt on, I'm sure. Any thoughts of preordering Wii Battletoads were abandoned because he just looked too happy for me to crush him. And I didn't really want to get kicked out anyway. Then, while sitting in O'Bryant Square before lunch, while reading and attempting to trap sparrows, two nerdy guys walked up, sat not too far away, and began talking rather loudly about some sort of RPG they were involved in. Possibly a DnD variant, although I couldn't quite tell. Anyway, whether that was coincidence or not, I don't know, but I like to think they were attempting to get my attention in a very sad sort of way because of Church!shirt. Though if that was really the case, they should've talked loudly about RvB. So who knows. Maybe they were just idiots.

( And now, meme! )

Edit: Here, have some silly RvB icons that I just made.
