(no subject)
I realized earlier that I hadn't eaten anything since the brunch this morning and that I was actually hungry, so I just went downstairs and heated up leftovers, which include a schnitzel, fries, and risotto. At 4:30AM. I feel really gross and a little nauseous, why does my brain keep doing this to me, seriously. There is day food and night food!
Speaking of junk food, apparently there is now a ban in the California county I used to live in on giving out toys at fast food restaurants. I am so happy this happened 18 years after I left, man, little!me would have been crushed. I remember the first time I ever saw a McDonald's, the awe at getting a free toy, one of those Disney bears that piloted a small yellow airplane. I loved McDonald's and their Happy Meals so much, and my parents would roll their eyes when I begged to go because they said I only wanted to go for the toys. And I said no! And then I would order a Big Mac to prove to them that I was there because I liked the food not the toys, except I was totally lying, I did want the toys, so those were a few very counterproductive months for me, lol. (I know it's unhealthy. It's probably even smart to stop handing out the toys. I'm just glad it didn't happen to me.)
ETA: also here is a Happy Meal toy I found a few weeks ago, lol. <333 Robins.

I was looking for a birthday gift for my sister today, spent half an hour in the tiny music store at the mall looking for something she'd like, and finally came out of there only buying Adam's album and Panic's Pretty. Odd. for myself /o\ I actually bought music! I haven't bought CDs for the longest time. I don't even know what to do with them now! They're just sitting on my desk, unopened. I already know all the songs by heart, and have them on my laptop, my iPod, in burned CDs in the car. Buying music these days is really depressing, man. I only bought them because I'm feeling guilty over liking them so much and not giving them any money -- that's Panic -- and same goes for Adam, with the added bonus of my wishful thinking that maybe if his CD sells here he'll stop here on a tour. Someday. I know this isn't actually a very realistic wish, but sigh. I've made my contribution.
Okay, whatever, I'll at least look at the CD jackets. Nothing new about Adam's. And ACK Panic's is creeping me out, I'm not used to them being all... not on my laptop! Okay, photos, lyrics, know those already... awesome, so I basically I paid 70 shekels so I could read Panic's thank you notes for the first time. And feel a little more justified. Sigh. My troubles, let me tell you them. (And aw, now I've actually read the notes and they made me sad! Spencer calls them his best friends. AND WAIT NOW THEY'RE MAKING ME HAPPY because apparently their traveling keyboardist was Jewish and I have no idea what I can do with this info but somehow, somehow I'm sure I can use it in fic maybe HMMM.)
ALSO IN ADAM RELATED NEWS: he has a new song! Only in Finland! Also if you're a member of ontd_ai read this interview now (and look through the comments, lol. IMPRESSIVE.) And guess what? Today was the first time I ever heard any of his songs (For Your Entertainment) just playing outside in public! At the university coffee place! I'm guessing this says more about me not listening to the radio than about how often he gets played, but still, it was very fun :D
Last but not least: did you know Stark Sands from Generation Kill is in the musical American Idiot? Link goes to some videos of songs, eeps, I want to see it so much. Also his voooiiice ♥.
