  I may have become a little too obsessed with the song “ 2014”  by way of the Unicorns.  I want it to be the song for the opening credits in the movie of my life.  It’ s eerie and kind of teases you and rattles your heart around by the chorus.
 As predicted,  I spend a giant sum of money in le city.  Seattle has amazing thrift stores,  my personal favorite being The Buffalo Exchange.  Aside from a pseudo- muumuu dress/
shirt,  I also bought pens that ( when turned upside down)  strip statuesque men of their clothes.  I’ m not entirely sure what I will do with them,
 but I couldn’ t resist the novelty of their purchase.  Pike Street was nice as well,  but the fish market area was too crowded.  I know it’ s kind of snobby and totally incorrect to place myself on a plateau above the tourist,
 but I do.  After all,  I know how to navigate myself through most of Seattle…  the U- district,  the Ave,
 Pioneer Square,  the Frats,  almost all of downtown.  The tourists aren’ t particularly nasty or wandering than in any other city,  but they annoy me most in Seattle.
 I feel like it’ s my home,  and thus,  they need to quit walking in circles so I can have a better view of the fisherman that I am winking at,  gaaahhd!  &

nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;  The best purchase of the weekend was an amazing find in a used bookstore called “ Twice Sold Tales”
 It’ s a 1971 ( first year it was printed in the US)  hardback copy of The Bell Jar .  It’ s in perfect condition;
 I don’ t think the poor thing was ever even read.  The back has a photo of Ms.  Plath when she was a guest editor for Mademoiselle .  She is holding a paper rose and sitting on a small sofa,  with an amused look on her face.
 And as soon as I saw that,  the nerd danced around and giggled.  Because that’ s an exact chapter of the book,  when Ester Greenwood is having her portrait taken for the magazine and she’ s sitting on a loveseat holding a paper rose.
 Except deep in her heart she’ s trying hard not to cry.  So of course I bough the book,  all $ 7. 50 of it’
s marked price.  I couldn’ t help but feel like I was stealing from the store,  thought.  I mean,  less than ten dollar for a first year printing on an American classic (
in hardcover?  Wow.  Affectionately…  Anna& nbsp; nbsp;
