August 17, 2014: Today is Vanilla Custard Day; I’ve had custard, but I’m not a fan of the texture (as you who read these commentaries would probably suspect). Too soft for a solid, too solid for a liquid. And kind of eggy in general. Still, if it’s your thing, go for it.

Today is also National Thrift Shop Day, celebrating the wonder and magic of secondhand goods. The local Goodwill locations were a lifesaver when I was losing a bunch of weight; I could buy things for cheap, since I wouldn’t be able to wear them for very long. I’ve also found quite a few fantastic items that are a part of our permanent collection.

Don’t take my word for how great thrift shops are, though. If you’re wondering why this fur-lined tiger-print coat is representing thrift shops, this is why, right here (language NSFW):

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna pop some tags.
