Basement Party

Today at work, I was sitting in behind the desk in the shop, when somebody asked me "Can you help me with the peanut butter?". She had PB in hand, so I was a bit confused about what she wanted. Actually, I was baffled because a) What is there to figure out about peanut butter? and b) What kind of person doesn't know all there is to know about the best spreadable there is? Being the helpful employee I am, I said "Yeah, what were you looking for", tipping my head interestedly and making my voice go all high pitched and question like. "Well...I was just wondering what flavor it was" the girl asked. My mouth kind of made one of those weird half smile faces where you think you look coy, but in reality look more like a confused pig. Honestly, I was speachless. I know people say this, but I really didn't say anything for five or six seconds. Five or six seconds doesn't seem like very long, but in the middle of a conversation it's pretty damn weird. Anyway, while I was gaping, I attempted to think of an appropriate answer. What was this girl thinking? Peanut butter only has one flavor*! Peanut! After an awkward pause, I answered "Um...it's...er...nutty?". What was I supposed to say? Really, this floored me. I nodded, and did a no teeth smile, while avoiding eye contact. The grocery amature just said "Ahhh. Ok, that sounds good. How much is it?" Then, she made her purchase and left. It makes me wonder how she deals at an actual grocery store, or a restaraunt, or even how she keeps a job. The whole situation wouldn't have been so weird if she had been allergic to peanut butter, but she was clearly interested in cosuming the purchased goods. What is this world coming to? I just dont't get it.

*This is excluding the revolting, yet equally innovative miracle that is Gooober.

I Hate Perfume is a wonderful place. The scents aren't perfumes...just smells. I'm liking the Summer of 1966...but it's kind of expensive...I guess I could get a little tiny bottle. Some of the stuff is really appealing (Summer of 66 has actual Coppertone sunscreen in it. Yum.), but others sound a bit sketchy. For instance, the CBMusk is described as having a rich "animal/erotic scent". Or the Memory Of Kindness scent, which smells like "shining green tomato vines".

This bear is ridiculous. I think I've seen about six different grandmas with this necklace...except they bought theirs at a kitschy shop on a wharf, rather than paying 3,445 POUNDS!!! That is the same as $6,790.61. Sickening. This bear is so tacky...apparently the purple rocks represent peace. Who knew. The white diamond necklace is so unnecessary...So tacky, it's delightful. Also, it was featured in the "gifts > 1000 Pounds" category. If anybody gave me this as a gift, I might marry them. Just for the humor factor.

I always thought I wanted a cream colored trench coat, like Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Then I had this epiphany one day, and realized that if you wear black, it's more likely that you will be mistaken for a rockstars girlfriend. So, now I wear a lot of black. Also, do models ever wear anything under their trench coats? For all we know, that girl is in the buff, just waiting to flash the next passerby. This is from Nordstroms, and on sale. But it's a shitty sale, because the coat still costs over five hundred dollars. Fuck you Nordstroms.

The words "Legalize LA" can mean many different things. LA happens to be my initials, so you can take that however you like. Legalize LA could be taken in the NORML way..."Legalize man...". Or you could read the tiny print below Legalize LA, and see that the whole thing is about immigration. On a more serious note, I do think immigration is an issue. That the whole plan to build a wall all across the border of Mexico is ridiculous. I despise when people discriminate against Mexican immigrants. Most people that have immigrated here that I know work harder than anybody, and are outstanding members of the community. I live seriously close to the Canadian border, so there are always border patrol cars copping around, eating donuts...etc. So, on that note, I say "LEGALIZE LA". This shirt is from American Apparel. If you couldn't already tell from the model. I'm probably just confused because she's wearing pants.
What? Mischa Barton doesn't look boring? Or like my great aunt? I love this dress. I was hoping to find something like this for prom, but ended up with a small, black dress that looked like it belonged on a female politician. Sigh...
Best graffiti ever.

I have an eternal love for That 70's Show. Reruns always seem to be playing, which is very awesome. I was never sure who was my favorite character. Not Fez. Probably Hyde or Eric. I dig nerds and badasses. Oh, and Ashton Kutcher may have been my second TV crush. I still think he's sort of sexy. Don't you judge me.
I have an odd attraction to these particular shoes. I don't wear heels often, and when I do they are usually patent leather. I usually give my best to look like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. The description for the shoe states that they are "bone/orange". Gross names for colors, I know, but the shoes are droolworthy. Now, to save money to buy them... Haha. I'm pretty sure these are from Nordstroms. I'm sorry I was harsh earlier Nordys...but if you put these on sale, I'll forgive you.
