Filene's Basement can suck it

[40cakes]

I hate shopping. I don't mean buying, I don't mean browsing, I mean shopping. When you need to purchase something, but you have to browse for it. I like casually looking around a store, and I like going in, immediately picking up what I need, and purchasing it. I hate the combination of the two. And thus, I hated my trip to Filene's Basement and TJ Maxx today. I also hate the TJ Maxx fitting rooms, which have those "half-doors" which start at my knees and come just above my boobs for me. Wonderful. Because trying on pretty clothing in harsh lighting while I'm sweating through my sweater after the 4-block walk isn't humiliating enough without my paranoia kicking in.

Speaking of the walk, here's my highest-ranking celebrity spotting OMG:


Yay Monk! And, y'know, award-winning, critically-acclaimed actor of stage and screen. But mostly yay, Monk.
