Product research is grueling work

Well, we went to Archie McPhee's Novelty Store in Ballard today... spend like eighty bucks between the four of us, which wouldn't be a lot until you consider what was purchased... Let's see... A magnetic footrest (I'll try anything once!), A button that says "I love work- I could watch it all day", some postcards, 3D and otherwise, giant dice, A tiny Eames chair for my little Buddha (Someone found him in the GARBAGE at the place I used to work!) a disco ball, and I don't know what all... Wonder if this is all tax-deductible as research. And then we talked about it at Dick's Drive-In in the U-district... That should be written off too.

I'm Giving my copy away at bookmooch.
