thrifted hats + sci fi mags

 i took some photos of my thrifted items today so i will share them now

(1) a white hat that says bouliste and is from a men's pétanque club

(2) a bright orange Aperol Spritz hat - my preferred alcoholic beverage in every universe

(3) a black and white butterfly bag with the text of the first line of The Butterfly Obtains by Emily Dickinson

The butterfly obtains

by Emily Dickinson

The butterfly obtains

But little sympathy

Though favorably mentioned

In Entomology —

Because he travels freely

And wears a proper coat

The circumspect are certain

That he is dissolute —

Had he the homely scutcheon

Of modest Industry

'Twere fitter certifying

For Immortality —

as for books i got three issues of sci fi magazines. One Analog Science Fiction and Fact and two Fantasy & Science Fiction. There were a whole bunch but because of my recent acquisition of someone's entire Andre Norton collection, i limited myself to the ones with the covers that called out to me the most. Judge me as you will.

fire update - it stopped growing so crazy rapidly and they've started to get a handle on it. 

plumbing update - my husband didn't sleep much because of said fire so he fixed our plumbing issue before i even woke up

reading update - reading The Witches by Roald Dahl (for the first time); reading The Girl from the Sea by Lee Knox Ostertag from the library; a Jennifer's Body-inspired Hyunlix fanfic; & an IT guy Hyunjin office romance Hyunlix fic.

this morning we went to one of our favorite cafes and one of the women working there mentioned my Singapore GP hat & then we talked to her about her favorite drivers and such. She had nothing but good takes: rooting for Hamilton for the championship this year (i'm rooting for Kimi b/c who doesn't love a wunderkind); Oscar was robbed last year (and some Lando smack talk, which i'm always down for); & Russel smack talk, which i'm also always down for.
