fever to tell
i know that coincidences happen, but this is really getting ridiculous. j and j seem to be like some spectre hovering around my presence all the bloody time. i keep meeting them, even when i'm not anywhere near home. and they have matching backpacks. bleagh. how exquisitely adorable. why can't nice coincidences happen? like why can't i keep meeting some really cute boy? (is it because i don't know any cute boys?) but at least i don't keep meeting, say, that creepy uncle or the creepy senior. (choi!)
anyway, i went to see shrek 2 with liyana (my sexuality module friend) today and i bought new sunglasses. yay! they're big and movie-star like. i think i look nice but slightly ridiculous in them. the movie was pretty funny, but there was a lot of rehashing of the first one. but i loved puss in boots. he is so much more adorable than donkey. donkey's just annoying, and needy. some people in the audience actually clapped when puss did his i'm-so-adorable-don't-you-love-me face. heh.
i like liyana, even though she was (slightly) grossed out by the sigur ros video. i have my own prejudices too. and i'm pretty comfortable being one-on-one with her, something that does not come by easily for me.
it looks like i'm being attacked by the sunlight.
and that, dudes, concludes the photo show.
we also went into That CD Shop at pacific plaza looking for the shins, yo la tengo, death cab etc. i asked the salesgirl, 'hi, do you have the shins?'
'what?'
'the shins.'
'is that the name of the band or the album?'
'umm. the band.'
'oh.. how do you spell that?'
's-h-i-n-s.'
she checks on her computer. nada.
'oh ok. how about death cab for cutie?'
'how do you spell that?'
'death. c-a-b.'
she checks. 'no.'
i was really getting desperate by this point.
'ok, do you have an alternative or indie section then?' (mind you, this is a two-storey cd store and not some dinky rink place.)
'what?? what kind of music is that?!'
'....coldplay, radiohead...?'
whereby she announces triumpahntly, 'oh, you mean the pop section!'
'...umm. yeah, ok. where's the pop section?'
so she brings me to this section that has enrique iglesias, dido etc. but it also has the flaming lips and yeah yeah yeahs! so i got fever to tell. oh boy. at least the prices there are reasonable for imports. and they have cool listening stations.
