29-5-25: good to be home

for the past few days i've been on a little seaside vacation, during which i managed to not see the beach the entire time. i did play a lot of persona 5 in our hotel room though. i dont dislike beaches (and i actually love surfing), but some of california manages to be really dreary even in the summer: 67f/20c and skies grey with an indeterminate mix of clouds and smog. kirra point, how i miss you!

aside from the beach, and my real motive for joining the trip, was some very nice shopping. my two exciting finds were a very cute perfume vial at a little antique mall, and a strange pair of converse at an outlet store. the perfume vial is hand gilded belgian boom glass, i cant find an exact match online but similar pieces are from the 30s-40s. the converse are a collaboration with the brand patta and dutch graphic design studio "experimental jetset". they seem to be from 2022, so i guess that they spent a while sitting in a store room before being unloaded to an outlet store. well, now theyll be spending the forseeable future sitting in my closet, where ive already unpacked them.

unpacking after a trip is a bit annoying, but my real least favorite part of getting home is the next day grocery restock (which im putting off as i type this). i spent all day driving yesterday, slept like a rock, and now i have to get in the car again? oh well. at least i had fun on my trip, and there was a package of yaoi and doujinshi waiting when i got home. at some point i should make a page on here with reviews of all the shit i read.
