duck-shaped pain

But now they're not only demented -- they belong to me.

Thrift stores never fail to amuse me. What grown woman would wear a sweater embroidered with hundreds of crayons? Is it the same woman who would buy a coffee mug that says, "Jesus is my favorite famous Jew"?

Today's haul at the farmer's market:

• 2 pounds of tomatoes

• 3 Japanese eggplants

• 2 enormous (each one is about 6 inches tall) green bell peppers and one comparatively petite purple bell pepper

• Some yellow squash

• 5 heads of garlic

• Baker's dozen o' sweet corn

• A macaroon

All for $5.50. Can't beat that.

Bought a new CD player yesterday, to replace the rain-damaged one. It's nicer than the one I originally had, and was about half what I paid for that one. No car kit, though -- but the one I have still seems to work fine.

However, it is not chartreuse. I could have bought a red one, but the design of it was sort of cheesy -- so I ended up with one that is simultaneously blue and clear.

I can now see what's playing without even having to open up the device. Not something I'd always hoped for, but sort of nice.

I have no real substantial thoughts at this time.
