Friday bullet post

• I left work early today, it's a gorgeous chill fall day, sunny and golden colored.
• I rode my trusty DBS bike a different way home, a long way around through the back of Frognerparken then around front and then home.
• I so love my bike. It's like a big cushy Suburban of bikes. It's so smooth.
  
• I'm totally getting better at it, too. I'm up to 5th gear (out of 7).
  
• I dropped off my bike and then got on the tram over to Bogstadveien, the shopping road, and checked out some shops.
• God there are some great sweaters out right now.
  
• I am a TOTAL sweater whore.
  
• I got this really goofy crooked architectural sweater at Lindex.
• Long and black, naturally.
  
• You can never have enough black sweaters, skirts, dresses or shoes.
  
• Also checked out H&M.
• I swear to God I felt like I was 16 again at H&M. All the styles are straight from my closet circa 1984.
• I totally know how to wear all that stuff, but think maybe I am a bit old for it now.
• (I'm STILL glad leggings are back, how did I go so many years without them?)
  
• But I got this wierd residual teenage thrill from checking out all the styles.
• I remembered how excited I used to get when I was younger, checking out the fashions at Judy's and Express and Contempo and all those fab 80's shops I used to shop at.
• I got a job at Judy's when I was 16, I thought I was THE SHIT for working at a cool mall store.
• I made $3.75 an hour.
  
• I was one of those fashion hags in high school, you know, those girls who always had the newest clothes and always wore different outfits? There were a few of us, and we all worked at mall stores.
• We thought we were cool.
  
• So then I got some sushi to go and headed home.
• Ate my weight in raw fish again.
  
• Made the mistake of googling 'salmon sushi' and read some horrible stuff about how raw salmon has worms.
• I feel icky now.
  
• Even though it's Friday, I am going to be lazy.
• My plans: a bath, then start season 5 of How I Met Your Mother (that Rich brought me from the US).
• My weekend plans: Lady Gaga and Robert Plant and the Band of Joy will be in town, and I am seeing them both.
  
• Robert Plant will ask me to run away with him.
• Rich won't mind.
  
• He'll be with Lady Gaga anyhow.
• In that meat dress, she's dinner AND a show, isn't she?
• Rich would love that. She comes with her own snack!
  
• And I'm taking Monday off work.
  
• WOO!
