I rather suspect I am going into one of those "post often on LJ" phases. Probably because Justin is away and no one else ever talks to me online or otherwise about what I do on a daily basis, or what I'm thinking about. So I turn to just typing it out.

I ended up leavin work early and going to Westfarms. Halfway through my visit, all could think was that I was disappointed in the mall. They're turning upscale on me! I don't need more upscale shopping, I have blue back square for that! (How'd they come up with that name anyway? it's weird). I mean, they have the crazy weird underwear store. Enough preppy expensive stores for everyone (hollister, abercrombie, gap, ae, j crew, etc). There's even a Tiffanys's now. They added in an H&M (which is so awesome) but even that one is fancier looking and carries less casual things than the one in Manchester (And of course plays appropriately European sounding techno). Also the FYE is gone. Where am I supposed to by the odd cd or DVD now?! Going across the street to Best Buy is such a waste of time if I'm in the mall.

Anyway.. I went to Border's Express. I am saddened. Their sci-fi/fantasy section is a sad mockery of what it used to be. I can almost forgive them since they have an excellent manga section.. almost. The massive Twilight displays ruin that for me. Speaking of manga, omg more .hack world manga. While the anime was meh for me, I enjoyed the Twilight Bracelet manga and am happy with the new additions to the book version of the world. Also.. Kujibiki Unbalance manga wut?

I have pinpointed why it is that I wish so badly that I were going back to UCONN for school and dorming this year. My brother moves in tomorrow and he has basically done little to none of his own packing. I know that he's a guy, so he's not going to be like me and make lists of things to bring.. and sit and make sure everything is there. And yknow... really care that all his things are there. But srsly. My mom and I packed most of his things for him and did all the school shopping. And with all this prep, it just makes me wish a million times more that it was for me instead.

whoa whoa dont lump me in with your freaking dimwit brother just because we're both dudes!

Plus FYE had more stuff then Best Buy. Tiffany's...with its inviting metal door.

Yeah Westfarms sucks. Especially if you've been to any other mall anywhere.

And it really gets blown out of the water when on visits a mall in another state or something.

Soon that mall will be nothing but 800 clothes stores with 100 dollar pants, and a coffee place...maybe.

Well the Starbucks is there.. so there will be a coffee place in there for always.

The name blue back square actually comes from the blue back speller written by historic dictionary author and West Hartford resident Noah Webster, The blue back speller had some sort of highfalutin name like the american spelling books or The First Part of the Grammatical Institute of the English Language, but was coloquilally known as the blue back speller, because of its blue cover. This spelling book was one of the primary texts for elemetary spelling reading and grammar education for about 100 years. It predated websters dictionary, Americanized alot of words (which the brits are still annoyed about) and created the horrible phenomenon known as spelling bees. Then 224 years after it was published they decided to name an upscale retail development after it. Cause the name is all west hartfordy because noah webster lived here, although techincally he didn't cause it was still the west division of hartford til a little over 150 years ago as west hartford celebrated its sesquicentenial back in aught four.

and now after my overblown exposition you know

Now that I've read all of that.. I feel like I knew that and promptly failed to remember it because it seemed dumb anyways. xD
