Silly things I keep forgetting to talk about
Every time I hear the Justin Timberlake song "Mirrors," I could swear he sings about "a hand in a pocket full of soap." He sings this twice in the song near the beginning, about two lines before the chorus kicks in. This is driving me nuts.
I have a pass for 8 free movie tickets which I need to use before the month runs out. I don't have 8 friends who live nearby who can take advantage of free tickets with me. And I can only use the pass Sunday-Thursday, and not on the first weekend of a movie's release. Boo-urns.
HAWKS WIN THE STANLEY CUP!!! HAWKS WIN THE STANLEY CUP!!! Chicago has a team to be proud of again! Wooooooooooooo Hawks!
We took VEE to the pool for the first time this past weekend as our association was having a pool party. She didn't really understand what the kiddie wading pool was for and just sort of stood there in the water. She tipped over once and was very surprised by it. We bought her a pair of water wings so that should she fall over again the next time we take her, she won't go under as easily.
At said pool party, we won a talking Sulley from Monsters University. She doesn't really know what to make of him, either.
I got a backup pair of shoes for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fava_bean's wedding. Despite the fact that these shoes look fantastic and are probably the most sturdy heels I've ever worn, they run a half size small which means that I can't wear them for much longer than the wedding ceremony itself. Which is sad, because these shoes have an absolute TON of cushioning and would be great if only my foot were a half size smaller. (And no, I can't get a new pair because I'm already wearing the biggest size they make.) So I got these in taupe as a backup pair (they only had that color or black). I saw online that they also come in teal, which could be perfect, but then reviews were all "teal is green, not teal!" So never mind that idea. Besides, I'll wear the nude/taupe again.
My sister gave me Daft Punk's Random Access Memories for my birthday, and I finally got around to listening to it. That was totally not the album I was expecting. It's not bad in the least, but not as dancey-poppy as some of their past, more accessible, music. I was REALLY surprised to learn that so much of the music isn't sampled but is played by live musicians. And the roster of guests is crazy -- Nigel Rodgers, Julian Casablancas from the Strokes, Panda Bear from Animal Collective, Pharrell Williams, and freaking Paul Williams. (Side note: I was always creeped out by Paul Williams as a kid. I don't care that he wrote "The Rainbow Connection," there's still something freaky about the guy.)
And it's now past five in the morning, so I should probably go back to bed.
