so yesterday I actually went around and did some shit, so here's all the stuff i did:

target

unfortunately, but not surprisingly, target was very mid. i went there looking for some movies and music, but didn't really find anything worth picking up

music section

here were the scenes:

not much of anything, a knocked over "butter" by BTS box, pretty much 0 CDs, not even normal people music, it's like what 50 y/o corporation execs think normal people music is. but hey tron is still here!!! 

I was very surprised not to see random access memories 10 year anniversary here, I feel like that would be a giant release, hell I found homework at books a million (which has mostly the same selections as target).

as we can see here, nobody gives a fuck about the new jonas brothers exclusive target pressing... because in 2023 who would tbh. stocked to the BRIM, 0 space behind these. also hiiiii ed sheeran :/

⚠️ It's BeReal Time!

movies section

literally NOTHING worth picking up, except for Pearl, hiiii pearl. it was way too expensive for my liking (and my bank account), so I passed for now. cool cover tho

books a million

i never look at the books here, i skip to the corner of the store where they put the records and browse here, even though it hasn't changed in like a year.

hiiiii mitski

hiii beyonce. 

this is actually my favorite album of all time as of late, and i've been meaning to pick up this collectors edition of it for a minute. however it's like $40 and that's half of my bank account so I passed for now.... but sooner or later it will be mine. these haven't moved since the last time I came here, so they'll probably still be here by the time I get my money up. (helloooo 18th birthday and job)

so yeah. that was pretty much everything notable at books a million, which I mean, you shouldn't expect much from a "big business" bookstore. but you have to make do when the only real record store is at least 30 minutes away in any direction. ("🤓 erm actually it's like this for everyone" IDC shut up!!!! stop nope nope don't careeeee... don't care....). 

anyways. I walked out of books a million to go to my car to head to....

goodwill

now to be fair, I wasn't really expecting much lol. but I did want to look at the movies section, because i'm in my movie era yeah yeah whatever. 

I set my expectations way too high and tried looking for requiem for a dream, in which i stood there for 10(?) minutes panning my eyes up and down the white shelves, only to either not find it or miss it. yeah my fault but maybe next time! 

anyways the guy actually had a cart full of new movies / cds and stuff, one of the new things that was brought in was a Destiny 2 PS4 disc, which is very funny because who would want that. also some PS2(or 1, i don't remember) discs with tomb raider which was kinda interesting. 

anyways I ended up picking out a guitar hero game and just decided to grab it because why not. this is actually the only thing I ended up buying throughout this entire adventure, spoilers sorry :p

call of duty black ops 3 pants

walmart

because why not

movies section

hiii pearl. I actually should've gotten this one, it's only $15 and the one at target was like $30 something (I swear???)

kinda dry over here but everything everywhere all at once was also here! and south park: post covid + south park season 25, which I was considering picking up but ehhhhhhhhh.

also I was very tempted to check the $5 movie bin, but that shit was in the middle of the walkway and that's embarrassing, if it was like where the shelves were then I would've been digging through that like a raccoon 🦝.

music section

hiiiii lana

ok so I was actually looking for RENAISSANCE on CD here (and also kinda at target), and unfortunately I couldn't find it :( and I remember seeing it here or somewhere so :p oh well.

sonic + andrew's house + beyond!!!!

mkay so after walmart I went to sonic and grabbed me a cherry slushy, very great loved it lots.

then after that I went to Andrew's house, where the 6 of us watched (half of) "evil bong" and played some quiplash

(btw the best way to play quiplash is to do this:)

the end :-)

anyways, that was my day yesterday :)
