Finally! J.Crew hasn't failed me yet, with their propensity for coming out with clothes I love.  Why was I not born with a body capable of wearing clothes like these?

I want one of these soooo bad! One day I will be the "vintage-bike fashion gal" . . . as soon as I make more money.

Jamie Oliver is back again, and his newest show looks pretty interesting. This is the website for it, but if you don't want to read all about it, here is a preview for the show.

Have a great weekend!

Zombie Brain

My brain feels fried, yet I didn't have any exams or serious papers due this week.

I'm definitely ready for summer vacation.

Should I be worried that I have no idea what to do with my life after college graduation? . . .shiiiiit

"Superfast Jellyfish" by the Gorillaz

Feel your thoughts, don't think them.

I felt ethereal today. 

In a place of knowing and not knowing.

I was anyone and everyone,

yet none of them at all.

 I had the answer to all questions,

only waiting for the right moment to unleash them.

No one understood it, but I didn't want them to.

I wanted to feel the breeze lace its fingers through my hair,

and tell me all its secrets then listen to mine in return.

Who said the wind has no feelings?

Have you ever asked it what it thinks about the rain, 

or the leaves it carries across borders?

It's looking for something.

A connection.

An understanding.

Not love, just peace.

Anarchy in Walmart

Doesn't it seem that, no matter what time of day, week, or year, Walmart never has more than 4 or 5 registers open? Two of those are for the moms who buy 3 weeks worth of groceries at a time, and the other two are for  people (like me) who have maybe 3 small items. However, it never fails that I get stuck in the line that takes the longest. Either the register lady is 85 years old and doesn't know what she's doing, or the person in front of me has an item without a price tag, or some high-school-aged kid takes 15 minutes to find the exact change that they're sure is hiding somewhere in the black hole of their pockets or purse.  Also,  for those of you who think "ten items or less" is just a friendly suggestion: it's not. If you have 25 items, please go to the appropriate check out with the soccer moms. 

I empathize with those unlucky people who always get the grocery cart with the obnoxiously loud, lazy wheel, and the people who never get the parking spot they want because they're too nice to fight the bitchy people for it. They're not alone.

Yes, you people without the lucky gene for shopping--I identify with you.

New Album: yesssss

My favorite band in the whole world,  the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, just came out with a new cd last month, and I LOVE it. I got to see them in concert about two years ago, and I still think it was the best show I've ever seen.

"Hannah (easter bunnie) Nystrom"

Today was Easter Sunday, which means Lent is over. I must confess though, it's a good thing I'm not Catholic because I didn't last more than a week and a half without having some chocolate. Ah it's good to be protestant. 

I'm a little confused why people decide to go to church on Easter Sunday and at Christmas, when they don't go any other time of the year. Doesn't that seem a little hypocritical?

I forgot to mention earlier in the week that I attended my first Reading put on by the English Society of UNCG. There were several professors who participated, as well as students. Anyone who wanted to could read--whether they wrote it themselves or recited something of someone else's that they enjoyed or thought was particularly meaningful. My Literary Study of the Bible professor was there as well. He's very good at mimicking voices (Peter O'Toole, Jimmy Stewart,  Billy Crystal's "Miracle Max" voice from The Princess Bride, etc...). He read a Jimmy Stewart poem that night, and everyone thought he was great.

Well, well, well, Mr. Sunshine. You were far too hot today.

"Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines." 

Mr. Shakespeare, you know your shit.
