I'm glad I've the time to stop for a while and enjoy the beauty of a copper sculpture of Alice from Salvador Dali's painting of 'Alice in the Wonderland'. She's positioned right in front of Border's, with a head of roses, long flowy gown and a skipping rope which is seemingly too short for her. But who cares. The sculpture looks rather good.
And it just hit on me that I haven't been into Border's for quite some time. It used to be one of my favourite haunts because of it's wide range of novels. Have been buying fewer novels now since I've to adopt more economical choices such as borrowing from the library. Border's has imported quite a large collection of 2007 schedule books as well as calandars. I've this habit of purchasing a spanking new schedule book before the year starts and I usually get the Japanese ones since they're attractive and adorable. Those sold by Border's seem to be more meaningful though, with quotes and cartoons that make sense. The japanese versions are usually littered with random words like "cute!", "sweet!" and "cool!". I 'll definitely have a hard time choosing my new schedule book.
