I Can't Escape My Addictions Anywhere

I've scarcely left the house since I've been here, but today I took a walk down the street to the Wal-Mart to buy tampons (and, not incidentally, to get a tiny bit of badly-needed fresh air and exercise). I walked home carrying Season One of Angel on DVD. This seems to be something of a trend for me. A few months ago when I was in New Jersey visiting my dad, I managed to come home with the extended-edition Fellowship of the Ring discs in my suitcase. (The deluxe edition, even, with the bookends and everything.) And when I was at my sister's place over Christmas, I think I must have spent about $80 on books. I'm starting to think I should just lock my debit card up somewhere while I'm travelling...

Sadly, Mom doesn't have a DVD player, so I'm going to have to wait until I get home to watch my latest purchase. Oh, well. Somehow, I doubt she'd care much for Angel, anyway.

Oh, by the way, just for the record, I've now finished The Three Musketeers and am a bit over 100 pages into Kavalier & Clay. Definitely no danger of running out of reading material. I blame the distraction of having the dog-gonned TV on pretty much all the time.
