Hi there!  It’s me, Maya again!  Me and my human went shopping again, only at a different mall.  We were with one of my human’s best friends.  At first we were going to go to Firebirds, but we decided to go to Ra instead…because the humans were eating dinner soon.  They had really good sushi there…I think Trisk would have been a fan, everyone always talks about how much he likes sashimi.

After a light lunch, we went browsing in the open air mall everyone calls La Enchilada for some reason…oh wait, that’s La Encantada!  We stopped at a place called Papyrus, which has cards and sketchbooks.  If anyone has received a letter from master, it is probably on paper from this place.  Master wanted a journal, but there weren’t many to choose from this time. 

Later, we went to a store that Master ALWAYS goes to.  They have a lot of bath stuff and good smelling things.  I don’t know if I can spell it right…  Loxie-Ton…Lahkzi-than…  L’Occitane!  Master wanted a lavender bubble bath, but she decided to wait until payday.  The nice lady let me sit in a nest of lavender flowers!  It smelled so good!

Right after L’Occitane, we stopped by the Apple Store, which I was very disappointed had no fruit.  It had a lot of flat computers in it…like that thing master plays with all the time.  Master kept saying she wanted to talk to someone named Siri.  I learned that Siri is a disembodied voice that is inside the thing that kind of looks like a Thunderbolt, but doesn’t work as good.  I don’t understand these little devices…apparently Master works with them all day.  Humans use them to talk because they don’t have telepathy.  You have to be careful because sometimes they have angry birds in them!  Hopefully they aren’t honchcrows…  Anyway, back to Siri…we tried talking to her, but she wouldn’t talk back…what a mean phone-spirit!  Master kept asking her questions, but she said she didn’t want to talk. 

Now THIS store had fruit!  Lots and lots of it!  Normal ones like apples and bananas, seasonal ones like pomegranates, and even ones from far away…like the coconuts I’m sitting on here.  They have really rare cheese and wine, too.  Oh, and the chocolates…  Teka would eat his own weight here.  We didn’t get to stay long because the humans were going to share presents, but Master promised to bring me here another time.

My Master got her friend a little toy robot for Christmas.  His name is “Nerdy Andy” and we became friends.  He says that the flat computers he’s on are better than the ones in the fake fruit store…  I still don’t understand the little flat computers…or why Master’s is named after an attack.  Maybe I’ll like them once they come out with the HTC Psychic.  Nerdy Andy also went on about something called Ice Cream Sandwich, which Teka was very interested in until he learned it was a kind of software.

I was pretty sleepy, so I took a nap after that.  Master’s boyfriend came by a little later and apparently Master has a new Kirby game!  A lot of our adventures will be taking place in front of the TV…now THERE’S a device I can get behind…but you have to be in front of it…I don’t get that saying.
