On Loc: Boston Public Library

...at 15-minute time limit public Internet kiosk, which occurred to me when I was on the way to use one of those kiosks that used to be in the Prudential Center next to the entryways of the Sheraton and the Hynes Convention Center.

Had to wait about 10 minutes of course for one to free up, but while I did I got to see several young German men in their prime not speaking English. Mmmmm.

Why did I come in here in the first place? Ah, yes:

I can't believe I just spent $56 American at Lush on Newbury Street. I got talked into buying:
--a $4 bar of Karma Soap, which contains orange, yum
--a $8 bar of Sandstone Soap, which contains some citrusy things and real sand (for that exfoliating factor)
--a $14 tub of Smitten Hand Cream (which smells like sweet almond)
--the usual $20 Happy for Sad large size shower gel (which I was there for to begin with)
And in a fit of pique or pricey impulse, an $8 lip balm that tastes like LIME.

God, I MUST be a gay man to have spent $56 in one go at Lush. Sorry, Kel, I thought about getting you a big ol' gift certificate for your birthday that passed a month ago, but decided I had spent enough on beauty products for the day.

Maybe later this week or the next time I get paid I'll

(Oh, GOD, why the F*CK is somebody using a f*cking NEXTEL WITH SPEAKERPHONE IN THE LIBRARY????????)

get her a certificate through Lush.com.

All I guess I can say is I'd better bloody well use the hand cream before it goes off.
