Did I Really Just Say That?

My feet are killing me. I'm on my feet all day, and my new shoes are not broken in. As I was gallivanting across campus today, I saw the three flights of stairs ahead of me that I had to tackle. I thought, no way, I'm taking the elevator. I always feel guilty taking an elevator when I don't really need it, but today I did. As I stepped on, someone in a wheelchair came in behind. I instantly felt like a lazy piece of crap. He then said, "How's it going?" Then in my typical nervous banter I told him my feet were killing me and I just had to take the elevator today. I was complaining about my feet hurting to someone in a WHEELCHAIR. He can't even use his feet and I'm complaining about overusing mine! I immediately felt like a total idiot. Note to self: Keep your mouth shut more often.

I Am Not A Student

It's a new recruiting season. I'm back on college campuses rocking one presentation after another. I always work hard to separate myself from the students, since I'm often mistaken for one, and wearing a suit is key. I even have a fancy name tag. I was walking around campus in my new suit, feeling like a rockstar and ultra professional when someone from the college staff said to me, "Hey kiddo." Great. Just what I was going for.

Great Music, Great Price

I'm an iTunes junkie, but I think Amazon may be pulling me over to their team. They offer some amazing deals! If you're looking for some new music, check out these great deals for a really low price.

Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus - $5.00 album
These guys are going to be big!


David Byrne & Brian Eno - Strange Overtones - FREE song
Nothing better than finding an old song that's new to you.


Demi Lovato - Here We Go Again - $2.99 album
There is no shame in Disney power pop.

An Oldie But a Goodie

"Shadowboxer" by Fiona Apple just came up on my iPod shuffle. What a great song. What a great album. Tidal is the perfect listen for a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Not A No Pants Party

Leggings are not pants.

Why do people not understand this? Leggings are merely an accessory for your legs, but require another piece of clothing (i.e. dress) to cover up your southern region. They are made thin with the intention of layering. They are not made to be the only layer between you and the world. "Shake what your mama gave you" does not apply here. Shake it after it's been properly covered. Please.

I Heart Hermione

So I know this is delayed, but LOVED the new Harry Potter movie! It was surprisingly hilarious. It's expected that a ton of the details from the book are left out, but despite that, it was very magical.

I hate being a muggle.

It has inspired me to reread the series. I am already in the third and loving them even more than the first time. Sirius Black is mentioned in the first chapter of the first book--oh the foreshadowing!

For all of you out there who haven't read the books--DO IT. You are not too smart or too cool or too busy. They are a magically delicious and fantastically fun.

Losing an Idol

There are two reasons to watch American Idol. Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell. And now Paula's leaving. I didn't think it was possible Fox would let her go. How will the show go on without her "friendly" banter with Simon? I won't be able to spend all season wondering what is in Paula's red Coca-Cola cup. Or watch her shake her groove thing to one horrible rendition of a 90's pop song to another. Kara is no match for Paula. We'll miss you, Paula. Good luck with your music career.
