(06) office supplies

As I was wandering around Office Depot this afternoon, eyeing the ludicrously adorable panda flash drives (among other things) with intent, I couldn't help but indulge this recurring fantasy I have, that I somehow end up spending my declining years with a person who understands me well enough and respects my uberdorkiness enough that instead of jewelry or Banana Republic gift certificates, that person gives office supply store gift cards, so that I can buy heavy-weight smooth paper and teeny shredders and red netbooks 100% guilt-free.

I did not get the panda, because I already have about twenty flash drives, though none so decorative. (I may have to go back for it, if I can't control myself.) But wandering through a convenient office supply store is an excellent way to kill an hour. One of my favorite ways.
