I'm in chapters, at the coffee shop. There's a girl about 11 who is talking about Doctor Who with great excitement - makes me think of me at eleven. So after enthusing about how exciting and funny it is, and explaining how London gets destroyed in every Christmas special, the clueless adult with her said...

"Is that a show?"

He knows "Highlander" well enough, I'll give him that - the movies not the TV show.

Stores on boxing day. Always entertaining.

I got a lovely duvet set (for a Queen bed) at IKEA for $10. The rest, even on sale, were $44 and uglier.

Now at Chapters, with gift cards. Whee!

I slept late, because I stayed up way too late last night working obsessively on my answers for the 2012 King William's College Quiz. Not too many still to do, though I worked on it obsessively during the day, too.

Then my friends wanted to go to Chinatown and Chapters, so I went along. I was looking for several things: a standing lamp, to replace one I have in my living room that was been deteriorating for years; a teapot to replace the one I got at Chapters, which has a big crack in it now; a Paleo cookbook; and some crafting supplies. For Christmas, I was given a gift card for Michael's and several for Chapters.

At Global Gifts on Somerset, Ysolde got an abacus, and I browsed teapots, but didn't get anything. At IKEA, I got a very nice Rodd lamp base. which perfectly fits the pretty lampshade Pim gave me about three years ago.

At Chapters - and this is where I went wild and crazy - I got a teapot identical to the one I had that cracked, two Paleo cookbooks (because I couldn't chose between them and didn't want to), a graphic novel called Thor: The World Eaters by Matt Fraction and Pascal Ferry - I read it from the library and it's one of my favourite graphic novels of the past few years. I also got a yoga book - not that I need another yoga book, but I wanted it. And it's been several years since I've bought one.



We also got groceries, and by the time we got home, we were all exhausted - though happy to see it was four o'clock and not dark out yet. Still: nap time.

Made macaroni and cheese for supper, and we watched the Downton Abbey Christmas Special.
