THIS WAY TO SALVATION


So this is the part where I complain about my busy life. But it's all a pretty happy busy: I'm getting married in July (Woo-Hoo!), and got into to grad school (Woo-Hoo!), I'm moving to a nicer, less-meth/identity theft crime-ridden city by the beach, no less (Woo-Hoo), I'm going to Europe for the first time in August on honeymoon (Woo-Hoo!), after 3 false starts, I've finally got a shiny new working laptop computer, which will be running Ubuntu-Linux on it and that backwards prolonged enema they call Microsoft Vista (Woo-Hoo!), and in two months I'll be done teaching the three history classes I've got this Spring (Hoo-Woo!). Whew! And that's why I couldn't take ten minutes out of my day to slap up an essay on the unparalleled virtues of disco shirts, amateur paintings, broken beer signs, Three Suns records, and other thrift store antiquities.

But now it's Spring Break and within the next few days I'll post some nice pics from the frontlines of the Slave-ation Army's and the Good-whales (just a little thrift store humor -- I know, very little). I'm well aware that nobody really cares if I blog or not (judging by the utter void of comments for my last post :( ) but, well I'm speaking to my loyal fan club, which probably consists of one sweaty dude with a case of OCD, insomnia and an unhealthy fetish for garage sales. The one who's reading this in his underwear at 4:33 AM. I'll call him "Arlo Ratoojay". See you next week, Arlo. I Promise.

Men who get to go to Europe for their honeymoons do not get to complain that no one is commenting on their blog. :P Of course, we will be expecting a pictorial tour of all the thrift stores in Europe. Do they have thrift stores in Europe?

Jeez, I hope they do. My wife will kill me if I go looking for one, though. :)

Hey, I don't have OCD!

Hey, I don't have OCD!


But I was on the money about the insomnia, garage sale fetish and the underwear, right?

Or maybe that was me I was talking about. Arlo Ratoojay = Eniksleestack's alter ego?

Ah, 2:43 in the morn. Deep thoughts time.

Thrift shops in England are usually referred to as "charity stores". In France they are often known as "Les Magasins du Fromage". Tourists foolishly flock to the architectual and artistic wonders in Europe, whereas the locals know the real magic is scouring the thrift stores et flea markets. Why walk up the Eiffel Tower when you can own your very own for less than 3 euros?

I blame the insomnia on too much coffee and a fondness for "Count Yorga" films. As for being sweaty, hey....it's part of the requirement since I am French. That's also why I speak with this outrageous accent!

Each fax facility offers their own pricing structures, packages and features to best suit their client's needs and demands. This is something you should do if you don't want to be disappointed. No Fax Personal Loans Free Assistive Guide In essence, since the end user can operate from anywhere, there is less need for high-cost expenses like rent and reception. Even though the cost of most of the providers is low and same but the customer service they provide makes the difference. You can also use the free trial offer to check out the customer service. Before you can send and receive on line fax messages, you need to first sign up with an online fax provider. However, most people are not using phone modems anymore, but getting broadband, mostly over cable. Have an Electronic Record of All Transmissions Considering you probably wouldn't be faxing that much anyways, this is a more than viable solution for many people.

If you disregarded the Ugg guidelines and wore your boots in water, or else you
dropped liquid on the boot, you might have stains along your boots.
People of the class and level can simply get these because their cost
is of every range. What lots of people are finding are
imitation, fake UGG Boots.
