treacherous shopping seasons

[foxtongue]

Alastair and I tried to see Sweeney Todd yesterday. We failed completely, but not after we braved the inside of a shopping mall. What a spectacle! The traffic alone... Surfacing was obviously a mistake. We should have stayed hiding, like I did today, processing photographs and listening to bad-ass Russian hip-hop thick with accordion.

As I wandered through the commercial madness (as little as possible, yet 'tis impossible to avoid completely), I quickly became sick of the blaring music. I eventually became hostile towards it and was thinking violent thoughts when I realized - I get to leave the store - the poor retail workers have to listen to it ALL shift long.

Stealth ipod earbuds must be all the rage this year....

I don't actually do christmas, so it's rare for me to be anywhere but a grocery shop in December. I think this week might have been the first time I was in a shopping centre this time of year since we lived in California.
