I went on a search for a key lime pie yesterday, but couldn't find one and ended up taking a "lemon sour cream" pie to the bookclub party. While walking on broadway I was stopped by a fairly attractive (and tattooed) boy (ok, MAN..not boy.) who asked if I'd give spare change in exchange for him reading me one of his poems. I was game for that, obviously! So he read me a poem about a girl he loved and talked about kissing her forehead and cheeks. He wasn't the best poet, but he wasn't too bad at the same time. I gave him a buck. When I came back around to where he was later (I wanted another poem) he had vanished.
Bookclub food was good: spicy red beans and rice and some sort of Cuban pork dish...I found the lemon pie I bought way too icky and gloppy for my liking.
I went home and watched many episodes of the Osbournes on MTV and then went to bed.
Oh, I went to two separate yard sales (more like corner/curb/sidewalk sales) that were about 3-4 blocks from my apartment yesterday. I got a "The Adventures of Raggedy Ann" book for 50 cents (WHOO! I collect Raggedy Ann/Andy stuff) and then at a separate sale I got all this for $10.00: 1 vintage chair (wood with a green vinyl seat)..we desperately need another chair so we can BOTH sit at our table and eat. The chair was $5.00. Then I got a pair of dark red (cherry/maroon) Converse low-tops (I only like low-tops...I'm a hipster!) that were EXACTLY my size for $2.00. I also got a cute red and white checked short-sleeved men's vintage shirt (SEARS) for $1.00, very comfy..I love checked shirts! And for $2.00 I bought a VHS copy of "Guess Whose Coming to Dinner"...can you say, SCORE!??
