Things from my New England Trip

Because I know you are just DYING to know what stuffs I bought myself while on vacation.
This t-shirt I found in (duh) Plymouth, Massachusetts. (In middle school, I used to be able to spell that. Today, I depend heavily on spell check.) At any rate, I bought the shirt as an afterthought mainly because it was on the clearance rack for under $4. It has become my favorite and new default T. That is, if its clean, its on my back. Of course. Because, after all, isn't that how it always works?

This Hufflepuff banner I found in Salem. Of course! That place is crawling with awesome souvenir shops. And basically very little else. And a witch museum which cost too much for me to enter. The shops, however, were free, and therefore ALL visited by me. hehe. Incidentally, I might note that spell check suggests shuffleboard in lieu of Hufflepuff. (I am proud to note that "lieu" I have no trouble whatsoever in spelling on my own.)


This shirt says "I (Mickey Mouse) N Y." Silly me, I didn't think a mirror photo will pop out a mirror image of the lettering. Duh, me. Its SO cute, though, isn't it?!! I got a similar one for my friend's dog. Yes, they even have dog T's at the three-story NY Disney store.

another T from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Apparently, the ancient Egyptians worshiped cats like my Wendy. I find this difficult to believe. Wendy may be a peach, but she's hardly godly. She's also fatter than this cat. Lazy girl.


Saw Xanadu on Broadway. From the stage. No yolks, folks. I even sang and danced on the stage. In front of God and everyone. Lots of old ladies. Totally NOT an old lady show. Still don't know what the dealy is with that, except that maybe only old ladies can afford regular tickets. Ouch. prices.


Also from Salem. Also resembles my Wendy.

Also ditto. Also ditto. Isn't it cute? :)



Edit 6/3:
my new and improved photo of me in my new IMMNY shirt. I flipped it and cropped the junk out. :) It continues to be an awesome shirt!
