A new shirt from Out of Print. They donate a book to a community in need for each shirt sold.

I knew I had to have this as soon as I saw it. The Catcher in the Rye is one of my top three favourite books (along with Homo Faber and To Kill a Mockingbird) and has been since I first read it as a teenager. I still remember quite vividly the summer I read it for the first time. There's nothing quite like discovering a very excellent book. Except maybe discovering a very good record. But that's a whole other post.

I got a new radio and I love it. It doesn't get AM, which is a pity, but you can plug your ipod into it, which is nice. I've been listening to it a lot since it came last week.

I've also been playing guitar a lot, which I find very relaxing. I really lose track of time while I'm playing. Last week I even missed my bus in the morning because I was playing a bit before work and wasn't paying attention to the clock. I guess I'll have to be sure to play only after work from now on.

I went to the midnight premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at the IMAX yesterday, which was epic. We had fantastic seats and I had screen printed a t-shirt and this bag for the occasion.

nice.

I tend to give the folders on my computer weird, non-helpful names - things like "stuff" and "more" and "other stuff". These are from a folder called "nice", which, for once, is an accurate title.

These photos also inform my style: Ramona Quimby, Scout Finch, children's clothes in general and cardis.

Mu Dooru

This cute little guy was waiting for me when I picked up my mail after returning from vacation.
He's from the very nice shop Mjölk and Juli couldn't have been more helpful with the ordering process!

Cats

This is my grandmother's cat, Ivory. Isn't she cute? When she plays her nose and ears turn really pink. She also likes to stick her paws under closed doors to see what's going on in the rooms without her.

It's been really hot lately and at night I sit up with the fan on and sketch kitties.

The one on the bottom left says "Meowrice Chevalier." :)
