Hellblog
After writing a happy series of "[insert quirky title] of the day" anecdotes, my blog decided that little bit of nowhere was not worth uploading and promplty eradicated it.
I am not impressed. So here's the syphoned-down version of that list:
1) after having to see Clay Aiken and his well-coiffed hair for the video
Invisible more times per hour than I'd care to see, I have a newfound loathing of him. Then again, his song's lyrics are unexpectedly disturbing: "If I was invisible/I would just watch you in your room." *coughSTALKERcough*
2) the stop-and-think-and-suddenly- feel-rather-morbid lyrics of Aiken's song are reminiscent of The Police's song
Every Breath You Take. Consider: "Every breath you take/Every move you make/Every step you take/I'll be watching you." Does that sound like a healthy relationship? Great melody, but admittedly the lyrics have all the makings of a fledgling stalker.
3) we are now carrying purses in our store that look like they were stolen off the "female alien" (read: remarkably humanoid female) from one of those old Sci-Fi B movies, and restitched into a purse. You remember those movies: where all those aforementioned female aliens dressed in strange, alien garments of silver spandex bikinis. Ergo, I have dubbed these purses the Barbarella Bikini purses.
4) Fanboy Radio (aka, the Fanboys! guest-starring on Ina-chan's J-Mix Radio) was immense fun and must be repeated whenever the opportunity allows. Thanks and kudos must go out to Ina-chan for being so willing to let us commandeer her show and fill it with nothing but ridiculous conversations and rants, gratuitous silliness, insane readings and lots of very bad puns.
5) as seen on a bin of chocolate-covered peanuts: Warning! May Contain Peanuts!
Unexpected Lesson of the Day: write little bits of nowhere on laptop first, then copy the files and paste them into blog so they won't get eaten and I am forced to retype a not-as-enjoyable version.
