I found something I always said I wanted yesterday in our trek out to Lakeforest Mall. (Are you sure it isn't Fair Oaks? Yeesh, they're frighteningly identical.) Well, what I really wanted was a live one that would sit on my bookshelf and go "meep" at me, but this is as close as I'm likely to get.

Bad Cathy, must stay out of comic stores. I picked up Goldie, and caught up with some stuff missing from my collections - the new "Lenore", an older "Gloomcookie" that I didn't have yet, and a couple of "Dork Tower" issues that I was missing - before I managed to rein in the credit card.

Yep. I guess I just happened to have been there last right before they arrived so I saw them on the web first. The Dulles store only had Zim (no GIR) when we were there on Sunday, but there were several of them hanging on the wall just past the CD racks. I think there's a Hot Topic in the Springfield Mall too which might be more convenient (or closer, at any rate).

Springfield is certainly closer-not quite on the way home, but that's okay. Everything is closer than Dulles Town Center-even Potomac Mills.

Perhaps a driveby to Springfield is a good idea...unless Zim plushies appear on the website.

Online shopping is your friend, sometimes. Sometimes there's just no substitute for fondling the real thing.
