Wayfarers. Woo hoo

I saw an advertisement for the sunglasses called Wayfarers on tv.

I read about these in the book Less than zero, which was released in 1985.
So I thought, are they coming back in style?

It turns out they've been in style for a long time, as you can see from the Wikipedia article above.
The author of Less Than Zero is Bret Easton Ellis.

Tom Cruise wears Wayfarer sunglasses in the picture below.

Also:
I went to the library. It is not as easy to renew your library card as I thought.


Thanks.
Good thursday

A Library Card: Why It Is Still Needed


My library card is torn and falling apart.

(I am vowing to get a new one, and to make sure my information is updated).
I haven't been to the library in at least 3 years.
Why you should feel guilty about not going to the library:
Libraries are diminishing in their importance, due to the internet, Kindles, and other factors related to the fact that it is 2013.
However, you should still go to the library.
At least, update and keep your card handy.

To sum it up: libraries are cool, are "treasures" with books you have not seen yet. Even cooler than half price books.

The End.

Thank you--

The Last Thing George W. Bush Needs...

Good Afternoon,
The George W. Bush Presidential Library opens today in Dallas, Texas.
The last thing this person needs is his own library.

(I am told all of the living presidents were there, including Daddy Bush, as he is sometimes referred to).
I first heard this reference at a small-town newspaper in Texas.

Also...
The Dallas Convention Center will be re-named "asap" in honor of Kay Bailey Hutchison.

Really: the last thing this person needs is her own convention center.

Music:
I am digging The Donnas. This is because of an old album (2004).

Thank you for reading. Exciting changes abound at North Dallas Homegirl.

THE END.
Alice
