pardonne-moi

Sometimes I forget how much I love to use shuffle when listening to music. Sugarcult, Yoko Ono, The Temptations, Gavin DeGraw....lost favourites arise. I went to another Owl City/Swimming with Dolphins concert last night. This time however there was another opening act, Lydia. It was so much fun! I was with a really tall friend (he's like 6'2" or something) whose built really square-like (think Superman, broad shoulders), so he pushed his way up the front & I followed obidently. Concerts really are much better when you're near the front. You feel like less of an idiot dancing. It's also pretty exciting when you can see the musician's stubble because you're just that close to him!

After the concert we went out and got drinks. I got apple cider & apparently it was pretty hot because I managed to burn my tongue, the roof of my mouth, my entire throat, and my stomach. I can no longer taste or feel anything that I digest or put in my mouth. Fantastic.

So, here is what I wore today. Yesss, I wore denim on top and bottom. *hides* I've finally gotten out of my all-grey phase & am now in an all-blue phase, apparently. Anyways, I'm wearing some dark wash skinnys, an Urban Renewal denim shirt, a turquoise beater, and this light & dark blue tank. Ohh, and as far as jewelry goes (I'm getting really into it all of a sudden!) I'm wearing a frog pin & my turquoise rings.

These are the shoes I wore. I bought them....last week? Steven Madden, at DSW on sale for $30. They weren't in the right box, so I explained to the bloke at the cash register that it wasn't the right box (so he would scan the price on the shoes, not the box). He got so confused and didn't know whether I wanted to buy them. Such a hassle, but completely worth it.

This photo makes it obvious that I have a future in hand modelling (joking). The lovely VT on my hand is from last night (for Varsity Theater, where the gig was). I woke up and it was imprinted on my jaw, too. Apparently I slept with the back of my hand smashed up against my face. Well, glad to know that I sleep attractively.

there's a mouse in the basement

It's been so long since I've done anything outfit-related. Wow, feels weird. Anyways, I went job hunting today and came back with a grand total of 4 job applications to fill out; the movie theater, Starbucks, Noodles & Company, and a local coffee shop (but that's only a one week position at the state fair). I got this skirt a couple weeks ago from Urban Outfitters' online sale ($20!). It's a bit big, though...size 0, I take 00. And I have broken out the $6 Keds again. And now have blisters on my heels from traipsing around in them.

Anyways, while I was taking these photos in my basement, I saw a mouse. I was standing there waiting for the self timer to stop beeping, looked over by the toilet, and saw this big furry, grey mouse. At first I was all like, "Oh hey, a mouse. How cute." But then I realized I was in my basement & mice should not be in my house (we've never had a problem with them before, only in our garage). So I started freaking out, and this (mildy epic) photo resulted:

So there you have it. We have a mouse in my basement. He's really cute, too. I wish I could catch him & keep him as a pet, but no, he'll have to die (at the hands of my father).

Tonight I'm going to the opening of my friend's art exhibit. Looking forward to that. By the way, I watched This is England last night. Why does everyone make such a huge deal out of that movie? It was good, but not as brilliant as everyone raves. There was no plot, just characters.

je suis en vie

Today marks the second anniversary of Grégory Lemarchal's death. He died on April 30, 2007 at the age of 23 from results of cystic fibrosis. Grégory is one of my favourite musicians, for his amazing voice, his beautiful lyrics, and his inspiring story.
