My Michelle
Happy birthday to the most adorable, creative, inspiring and blackest-non-black girl I know. Congrats, Michelle; you've passed the thresh-old (I totally stole that from Owen).

This or That
I don't watch that much television, so I have no idea if this is an old commercial or a new one. Either way, I fucking love this commercial.

Rambling
One of the more fun* perks I get to experience at work is when sales reps come to visit our store. They always come in with several of those suitcases with wheels and handles to drag them along by. They open up tray after tray of sample frames and try to peddle their stuff. It's a fun sneak peek at all the new collections before they come out.
Most of the time, it's a disaster. I rarely stick around when a sales rep comes in just because I know the boss is going to shoot them down. But on the odd occasion where a rep for a really good line comes in, they have our full attention.
Not to turn this into a fashion blog, but one of my favorite eyewear lines these days is Barton Perreira. It's okay, I hadn't heard of them either until a few months ago. Oliver Peoples has Elijah Wood and Shirley Manson, Chanel has Lily Allen and Barton Perreira has...Giovanni Ribisi. It's something, I guess. But the glasses are really nice. Despite the sales rep having known my boss for years and that we loved the line, he seemed really nervous to be there. It was like he was baby sitting us; we were grabbing frames left and right, trying them on and inspecting them. He could barely keep up.
The whole point of all this rambling?
I ended up getting new glasses. The end.
*depending on your idea of "fun" at a job.

The Quarterly (or so) Cell Phone Pic Post
Shit I saw the past few weeks or so.
Zombie shaped elastic band. Despite the zombie overkill in just about everything, I still find it awesome.
Scarborough Jenga.
Mark pointed this out to me. Yes, a cigarette butt magically stuck to a metal beam is enough to amaze us.
A whole mound of clothes next to the train tracks. Makes me wonder how all that got there. It's a lot more littered than pictured.
The handiwork of the man who will go unnamed.
Mark makes for a pretty hot babe.
What I do when I'm bored at work: I personalize the scissors.
Michelle with a tissue box on her head, duh.
I like seeing what other people drew/carved on the tables every time I go to Sneaky Dee's. Best steak salads ever (thanks for getting us into it, Jocelyn).
What I tell myself when I strike out with girls.
Really tempted to go and white out the 'N' in Bing.
Mittens gets more and more cute the more he/she (I still haven't bothered to remember which) gets fatter.
Hella nice.

Oreo
My parents have been loving this commercial lately. According to them, the kid with the sippy cup reminds them of me when I was his age. I guess I could do worse.

Song challenges 4, 5 and 6
Song Challenge #4: A Song That Makes You Sad
I don't think I know of any song that makes me sad, but if there were to be any song that could do it, this would be the most likely one. Or the first half of the song, anyway, which is all that this video really covers.
Song Challenge #5: A Song That Reminds You of Someone
I probably have a song for each person I know, but my friend Stephanie has a knack for introducing me to music that I end up listening to on repeat, even years afterward. For instance, she sent this song to me almost two years ago.
Song Challenge #6: A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere
When I went to the Dominican Republic with friends, a few of us got sick, despite taking efforts not to drink the local water. I got it the worst, so for a good portion of the trip, I was in my room watching BET on television. And this was a big hit at the time. I ended up loving it and learning some of the lyrics. Then I attempted to sing it at karaoke. I sucked.
