A Long Day's Journal Into Night

Black flats vs. Bubble Gum Pink Runners


Hurray, I got a b-day package in the mail from Mom and besides the assorted chocolate products, there was a gift certificate for Barnes and Noble! Huzzah!

This presents dilemna however.

Books or CDs? Which to buy? This question is easy, but I don't know why. Unless I am head-over-heels in love with a book I do not have much desire to buy it. The fact that I can check it out from the library whenever I want is comfort enough not to purchase something I have little time to read anyway. Music, however, I can listen to even when I am studying or doing research. Though I hate to buy a CD at a bookstore, I am afraid it must be.

On to the next dilemna then.

Which CD?

This requires careful consideration so I will not have an I-regret-buying-this-Ace-of-Base-CD-two-years-later episode. This is akin to choosing shoes you know are classics and thusly you can wear them in 5 years.

My first round thoughts are:

The Flaming Lips
How to Deal Soundtrack
Camp Soundtrack
No Doubt

Am leaning toward Flaming Lips, but am waffling somewhat. Input is welcome.

This reminds me, why am I always wanting soundtrack's. Methinks they are not black flats, but bubblegum pink runners (see analogy above).

Hmm...I wonder if they sell Pumas at BN...
