and vintage books

today i went with mum to a dermaclinic because she is to transfer her free facial treatment ticket to my face, literally. it was a very comfortable place unless you have rocks on your face the charming nurses are about to brutally remove. for that matter, one is rather better off dead.
i really want to tell about the stuff that happened right now but my father is behind me and his all giddy with his new laptop i am using right now at this moment.
oh well.

i didn't intend to take lots of photographs, really. but when i saw the vinyls and asked the dumb storekeeper if i can take a picture, she was all shrugg-y and condescending as though i just asked a question  as dumb as her. she was like: "lol. then take pictures."  i may understand that she was just going all tacky because that shop consists mostly of dust and having someone take pictures is no big deal, but i had enough of people abusing my politeness already a couple of minutes ago in the dermatologist's, so yeah. i wanted to punch  the skullwoman's head but she looked so frail, like an enlarged disoriented zygote. blahblahblah. was also disappointed that the life-sized hanging skeleton cardboard was not for sale. nvm.
below are and stuff i saw in the vintage/thrift/garage store i went to after the facial treatment.

 

the vinyls. two of the six lame vinyls.

she freaked me out.

got lonely seeing a "Not for sale" sign besides these stuff.

 

PS i didn't buy all the books i photographed here. although i decided to collect sci fi books with fancy covers published way back in 1960s, yes. Rookiemag's Retro-futuristic article inspired me to do so. and this The Age of the Pussyfoot i bought this morning in a mall's bookstore just for the sake of buying something after lounging around their shelves for a long time. 

anyway, in another side of the story, whilst pimple craters were being removed from my face, another dermatologist dropped by and humourously asked if my eyelashes are fake. apparently they thought it was ~*pretty*~. lol. i can only laugh shyly and say "that's real." ha ha

and October reads

these are the books i have read last month. i had lots of free time and sorrow in October, for some reason. and without my lovely pile of to-read and currently reading books i think i would have dies. seriously. books for me are not just for entertainment value but also an instrument of distracting myself from how painful living is. it's like oxygen for me.

Valley Of The Dolls  -  Jacqueline Susann ★★★★★

A Child Called 'It'  -  Dave Pelzer★★

Life Of Pi  -  Yann Martel ★★★★

Referred Pain  -  Lynne Sharon Schwartz ★★★

Pardon My Body  -  Dale Bogard ★

Virgin With Butterflies  - Tom Powers ★★★★★

My Girlfriend Comes To The City And Beats Me Up  -  Stephen Elliot

Red Book  -  David Shrigley 

i forgot to take a picture of this one. which is weird since it's actually my most favourite. it is hilarious and it can really touch the reader (or in my case, at least). Dance On My Grave  -  Aidan Chambers . please try to read this one ♥ i give this FIVE  awesome stars

also forgot to snap on my copy of The War Of The Worlds by H.G.Wells.. such a bad book from an intelligent author. two sleepy stars i what i lay for thee.

 and then here are the books i am currently reading. there's more, actually, but i am very much concentrated to Love In The Time Of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez at the moment. it's very fantastic. and then Life In Pictures: The Beatles is something i open up and read almost everyday. so yeah. i have a good pile more of titles to read. and craving to visit a bookstore again. sigh. i am hopeless.

PS i originally decided to write a three-sentence review of each, but got lazy. so here's a link to my Goodreads account, if you're interested. i know you're not. what ever.
