Someday I’ll be pretty…

All right. I’m not going to bore you with the details. What I’ve been doing would reduce your respect for the Buddha in so many ways. For one, I have been to Sears. You see? Right there. You did that thing with your eyes. You say you want me to talk to you, but then you sit there in judgment.

So, just stay in here and I’ll be in the bedroom and get some reading done. And if you have to use the bathroom, just don’t worry about those sounds coming from the bedroom, the bed creaking and the gentle sobs of shame. Ignore them.

  1. If I have to use the bathroom, will I be using lovely frilly towels from Sears? Look through special cotton/poly Sears curtains?
    Wait… don’t tell me… one of those toothbrush holder/soap dish/cup sets, right? ;)

    Hey, it could be worse. Some of my sister’s friends do their housewares shopping at the dump :P

  2. …and hey, you make the bed creak when you read? It must be like how some people’s lips move when *they* read…

  3. When I’m reading Penthouse, yes, the bed creaks quite a bit. So?

  4. It occurs to me that people are getting the entirely wrong impression. I use Sears as a metaphor for corporate consumerism, not as some indication of low-class.

  5. I didn’t mean to imply low-class, I was referring to the color-coordination that Sears type places have for all their housewares/linens/wallpapers/widgets.
    Nature abhors color-coordination.

  6. Ah… so, you know the softer side of Sears. Don’t worry, one day you’ll be a powerful witch (or warlock, as the case may be)
