spending money I don't have

Okay. I did a bad, bad thing: I indulged myself at the bookstore yesterday. I know I shouldn't have but I fairly itched to own the the above and, well, I've never been good at impulse control. Especially when it comes to bookstores. ^^

The Photoshop Creative mag. is a U.K. import which means the price tag was set rather high, but this month's edition teaches you how to "oil paint" with Photoshop! Oil paint!!! I rest my case.

I bought the Japanese Design. book because it's a bunch of royalty-free classic Japanese prints, plus a CD-rom of the same. As is typical of Japanese design, the prints are gorgeous. I can't wait to manipulate and apply them to photos and poetry or anything else my heart desires. Hee. I fully plan on sharing, so hit me up if you are interested.

Then there is A Room of One's Own by Virgina Woolf. Isn't that cover lovely? I suspect I will develop an appreciation and awe for her talents as an author and all-around intelligent woman equal to my awe of Sylvia Plath and her respective talent. We'll see! There's also a copy of Mrs. Dalloway packed away somewhere , as yet unread. Hmm, I have to "get to gettin'."

So that is what is on the shelf today!
