accidents and accidents

We had a bookstore accident last night. A real one; somehow we came home with $130 worth of new books. It wasn’t my *fault*: the new C.S.

So I feel pretty superior, and all. I’d probably be more superior if I hadn’t finished all that up with a small root beer float, but the root beer…
