New Store + Choke

So a new store has opened up in downtown Eau Claire and it's really, really cool. Of course, I'm speaking of Tangled Up In Hue, located kiddie corner to Acoustic Cafe. This place is really classy. They're what you would call a "hippy" store, I guess, but more oriented to a casual/educated crowd. No big anti-war, anti-corporation signs here. And it doesn't smell like really strong incense all the time. Really nice environment. Anyways, they do a lot of custom glass blowing which I love. All sorts of beads, jars, and smoking accessories are made three feet from where they are displayed. My sister would go crazy over this place. I haven't gotten a chance to see anyone actually make anything yet, but I'm sure it's really cool. I bought this little jar there and now I keep my coffee money in it :). Some of the stuff was a little pricey, but honestly, I'd rather spend more money at a local shop than a chain. I'll be the first to say it: this place blows Trucker's Union out of the water.

I bought the movie Choke today. It was actually pretty good. Personally, I wasn't a big fan of the book. I didn't think it was one of Chuck Palahniuk's stronger books. The movie did a really good job, though. The message kind of changed and it ended kind of abruptley, but it was worth the buy. Plus Kelly MacDonald was in it and I have a very large crush on her. Seriously. She's beautiful. Anywho, yeah it was a decent movie. I'd give it 3/5 or 7/10, depending what kind of scale you like. AND Important Things is on in 20 minutes!!! My night is going well.

P.S. I wrote this little short story thing today in class while I was bored, I might post it later. I'm not really sure... gotta revise it.
