my poorly supressed fixation with messenger bags

[thanate]

I've actually been thinking for some time that I need a smallish "projects" bag, as I tend to carry embroidery or zombie materials or whatever around in a small plastic bag, and have to dig under everything for scissors or hunt down my needle case every time I want it. And astormorray just posted this lovely thing as part of her search for the handbag of her dreams (it looked like a poor fourth or fifth best in her listing) and that and the old, smallish, army bag that Kelley carries in the field inspired me to go to the army surplus store I just discovered recently (in the shopping center at Rt 7 & Gosnell Rd, with the Staples, and the sex shop at the back) Anyway, I am now the owner of a black army surplus messenger bag. I would have gotten green, but it was apallingly bright green, and I didn't feel like attacking it with a dye bath. (although sticking that in the wash with one of those re-dye your jeans things might have been interesting...)

This post has been brought to you by the disinclination to do anything really useful. Now I will go back to sorting comic books, preparatory to getting them off my floor.

There's another surplus store at Pickett and 236/main st Fairfax, across from the Total Wine/Trader Joes.

Not that this information is useful to you at this point..
