Some idiot at the "Bubbly Cauldron" was trying to hide that they used the wrong soap. They used some Klatchian stuff, and now the stars that my mommy stitched on it have turned into real stars. A bloody nuisance, that. The bright light and heat are wreaking havoc with my headaches ever since, and I won't even say what the gravitational pull between the two biggest ones is doing to the stitches. I'm afraid of either a tiny black hole when one collides with the other, which might suck up some of my stuff and will certainly scare my cat, or of a bit of nuclear fusion that might actually singe the cloth.

And it was such a nice color blue, too.

So, I opted for a new hat. A Half-Dollar and 3 Ten-Pence, which I thought was a bargain. You should really check out that new hat shop, across from the Unseen University's stables. It's called "Look at the Horse's Hat", which I thought was rather clever. It's a nice jade green, lacks stars unfortunately, but I rather liked the sparkle it has instead, when looked in a certain light. It seems to be all the rage these days. They call it "Team Edward". No idea why. I did hear it say it protects against Werewolves. With that ugly, hairy new guy from Uberwald getting a room two doors down from mine, I say every protection, even if it's uncertain to work, is more than welcome. It even came with a free vial of silver blunderbuss pellets. Isn't that nice?

I'm still unsure what to do with the old one, though. The Bursar says I should just put it under my bed, but I have the sneaking suspicion he's trying to get a hand on some of my spell books. He once made me sign a "Ye Last Wille and Taste of Mint" in exchange for a flagon of ale when I was out of coin.
The Librarian told me "Ook", which was good advice as always, but I have no idea how to do that.
I think I'll just follow the advice of my old friend Leg'gs. She knows a lot about cloth. And hats. And where to put them. If you know what I mean.

Heh.
Heh heh.
Heh heh heh.

Oh. Uhm, sorry.
