Weirdly Named Bookstore Anecdotes

I was in Indigo the other day and, though I originally had some contempt for the seemingly randomly named bookstore (that's not really a bookstore-bookstore because they also sell stuff like candles and gardening tools and pillows), I've grown to like it there. Even though the table of "Hot Teen Reads" is 100% paranormal romance-type stuff (that is, until I threw John Green into the mix*) when not every teen who reads is completely obsessed with that stuff, it's big, you can buy bargain books for $2 and the stuff in near the cashiers is sufficiently amusing while not being sane enough for me to actually purchase.

I don't know exactly where this is going but I bought a time-turner, so that's neat.

*No one technically tells you that you're not allowed to alter the store displays and so, yes, I may have put a copy or two of Paper Towns on top of the newly recovered Eclipse. What are you going to do about it?

This summer...

I want to get a job, work and make money.
I want to volunteer and contribute to the world's general happiness.
I want to work on my novel.
I want to hang out.
I want to read. A ton.
I want to learn stuff. Like Spanish and French and how to cook Indian food.
I want to blog.
I want to hunker down and stay here.

These are my intentions. It is for these reasons that I will not be going on an exchange to Quebec. And that is my resolution.
