I won't even excuse myself. Y'all know where I've been.

Intro and song brought to you by Conan O'Brien

It is WEDNESDAY. I am currently sitting in Hailey's bean bag chair, with 7% battery left on my macbook and absolutely 0% inclination to get my charger. Eric is texting me from his iPad (because iOS5 is beautiful and iMessage is the greatest thing that ever happened to me). And today I'm supposed to be seeing Chelsea but I don't know how that will work because she isn't free until four and I'd have to leave at six to get back in time for Jeremy to pick me up for Institute and gahh. I just don't know if it's worth it for two hours.

Also this is my second day off in a row and I'm going crazy. I can't be left alone this long. Yesterday I cleaned and now I'm just doing laundry and I need things to do and I'm wearing my winter boots while I'm under blankets because I am cold and was too lazy to put real pants on. So I'm one of those girls in uggs but also shorts. I am the worst of human kind.

ANYWAYS. So believe it or not, I have no songs with Wednesday in the title in my iTunes library, despite the LARGE amount of them. (Reserve battery power. awesome.) So I've taken to YouTube for some ideas. It's a great way to learn about new bands I might like. Today, I have chosen Crash Kings. I just fell in love and I hope you guys do too. They are pretty talented. (I have retrieved my cord and also listened to more of their stuff. Mama liiike.)

So here it is.

I could have gone for Simon and Garfunkel, but new music is of more importance.

Tuesday was my day off. YAAAAAY. Hailey and I went to Pandosy Books and I found Roman Holiday, one of my favorite Audrey movies. And I found Ocean's 11 because for some reason, I had 12 and none of the others. Hailey bought them for me. She also got me a tea pot with mug set things, at Value Village, but she broke the lid by dropping it on the ground by accident. So we had to buy it.

And then I cleaned the house and it was generally a great day of laziness and relaxing and spending time with my fantastic roommate. :)

a Tuesday song: (just in this moment I decided the theme this week would be: Songs with the days of the week in them. So I'm starting now and will wrap around to 6.02 to include Monday in there. I don't know why I haven't thought of this perfectly acceptable and completely cliche theme before.)

probably my longest-loved song. The earliest memory I have of my dad is the two of us cleaning the house, listening to this song. I'm so grateful he listened to the Stones and not the Beatles.

On Monday, I worked again. Steph was out of town the whole weekend so Shawn and I worked and by this point, I thought I'd want to die but I was strangely productive again. I guess I just need to be super worn out for it to work. So Christmas will probably be SUPER EASY.

Anyways. No introduction is needed for this song, and I already know your feelings on it.

SUNDAY. I worked. And it was sad. But I was strangely productive. That's really all I can tell you about it.

HERE IS A SONG. (I've realized I don't exactly need to include the song titles or artist names anymore because it is on the Youtube video.) However, I will tell you that I have fallen in love with Sondre Lerche. I believe I've used one of his songs before, but here is another one. He's just... ugh.

Oh. HEY THERE.

So I forgot about this, kind of. The thing is, I always remember I need to do it, but never when I'm near my computer. Today, though. Today, I remembered. And I'm a bit behind, but you all know the drill by now.

So Saturday was a beautiful day, where I worked and did little else.

A song for you:

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT TODAY, ON THE FOURTEENTH OF OCTOBER, HAILEY DID NOT TURN ON THE AIR CONDITIONING. FINALLY. I HAVE BEEN FREEZING MY BUTT OFF FOR THE LAST MONTH AND SHE FINALLY TURNED IT OFF. YEEEEEESSSSSSS.

Anyways. I'm watching Big Bang Theory. And downloading all my iTunes purchases onto my phone. Apparently I have downloaded a LOT more songs than I originally thought. Also today, Steph told me about her dentist. Who pulled all four of her wisdom teeth for a little over a grand, which would save me HUNDREDS of dollars and I am really quite pleased. As long as prices haven't gone up in the past few years, I am set.

So I was worried a few days ago about my dress not being Ms Frizzle enough. I think I have solved the problem. I bought stick-on felt flowers, butterflies, dinosaurs, etc and I am simply going to apply them onto my dress the day of the party. I also bought some sticky letters so I can write "The Frizz!" on the back of the dress. I am really excited.

Anyways. Today's song is Sympathy by the Goo Goo Dolls. I have no doubt that you've heard it before, but it's possible it's been a while. Enjoy.

It's like, Thursday or something. I have no idea what day it is anymore. I only know that my alarm went off telling me to make a blog post so HERE I AM.

My day was awesome. Steph and I remerchandised. I came home, sent a letter to Hazel and also sent things off for my student loan. Hopefully I have used enough postage for both of these things. And hopefully StudentAid BC will not tell me I missed something because that would really SUCK.

Also today, I bought my ticket out to Abbotsford. Kind of silly buying it in advance because then I got it mailed to me, which costs $7.00 and after taxes, there's basically no discount at all. Buuut it means less time I have to spend at the station so I can arrive like twenty minutes before instead of an hour before. Which I probably could do anyways but I am mega paranoid. Anyways.

The song today is You Don't Know Me by Ben Folds and Regina Spektor. I hope you like it. I myself just heard it about five seconds ago on Tumblr and I MEGA enjoyed it.

Also if you're interested, my tumblr is http://llamas-are-eternal.tumblr.com/ and I occasionally post things about llamas and nothing else.

GOOD DAY.

Today, mom took me shopping. I found a red suitcase from the 60's - I wanted a powder blue one, but it was only 6.99 and it was a SAMSONITE. Those things are amazing. So I bought it. And I bought a dress which I may use for Ms Frizzle. But I may not. It is definitely a teacher's dress but I don't know if it's Frizzle enough. If I can find a better dress, I'll buy it. If not, maybe I will suck it up OR change my costume. IDK.

Also today I realized that Ari Hest sounds like Bon Iver. But only slightly. This is Bon Iver.

So Tuesday. I had my dentist appointment. And it was awful. The actual appointment was alright. But I need to get ALL FOUR of my wisdom teeth out. And I will need a few days off for that. BUT GUESS WHAT. I can't take any days off until January. Because November and December are Blackout at work. And then in January, I will no longer have dental through work. Because I will be a student. Not a manager. And I get dental through the college but I don't know if it's any good.

But GAH. So anyways, I have three appointments for November: 1 cleaning and 2 fillings. That should be fun.

Here is half of an ALL THAT episode. Skip ahead to 8:37 for your SONG. Or, because you miss the show so much... watch ALL OF IT.

MONDAY. Actual Thanksgiving day. I did not do a lot today. I went to work and then Hailey and I watched TV and HERE I AM. Yay?

In other news, I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. The first in about four years. Possibly more. So that should be painful and exciting. I will probably feel like an adult. A poor adult, but an adult all the same. One who has her own health insurance and goes to the dentist :)

Anywho, the song today is going to be The Goldfish Song. By Kina Grannis. I'm not sure if you've heard it. I'm not sure if I've posted it. I'm not even sure if I care. You will listen to it (possibly again) and you will ENJOY IT.

xx

4.01

Might as well give you a Sunday post as I will have no time tomorrow.

Today is (Canadian) Thanksgiving. And I have got to say, there is plenty I'm grateful for. If you're interested, there are two previous Thanksgiving notes on my facebook (and a new status). And they have pretty much stayed the same.

So in honor of the turkeys who gave their lives today, the song is going to be Thankful by Josh Groban

What a beautiful man.

xx

3.07

Okay. Today I worked. And then Hailey and I watched Beauty and the Beast. YAY.

The song is going to be the Mountain Goats today. You know it had to be.

So I think, out of the songs from the new CD, I have narrowed it down to a favorite. It took a while, and I can still listen to the whole CD and not hate a single song (like with several CD's I've had before).

But my favorite has got to be High Hawk Season. And it better be your favorite, too. Because it is SWELL.

Right. Laterz.

xx

3.06

Okay, I forgot about Friday. I'm failing once again!

I'm just listening to the new Mountain Goats album (which I totes bought and will totes give to Shoshana when I come down next, if she wants it) and it is BEAUTIFUL.

However, I am going to save them for another day. For I will REMEMBER to post one of their songs later but I will not remember this song (even though it's amazing).

Even Now by William Fitzsimmons, who I have been listening to a lot lately as well. He is a beautiful soul.

3.05

So Alex and I have the same feelings for Abba as we do for cake. I think it's going to be a good relationship. This is why we are fraaans.

Today, I worked. Seems to be a common theme right now, but it will end on Sunday. And then I'm back to a semi-normal work schedule, wherein I actually get some days off in a week. So that's nice. Also, Hailey and I watched Cyberbully, which was one of the worst movies in the world, with a few laughable (but for the wrong reasons) moments and a decent soundtrack. First time I've heard Hannah Georgas somewhere other than my iTunes or Alex's.

Alright. So the song today is Angus and Julia Stone's cover of You're the One That I Want from Grease. And if you don't love Angus and Julia Stone already then... you're wrong.

Also, I keep spelling it "Anus" and that is really funny to me.

YAY. Enjoy your Thursday.

xx

3.04

Got to be quick because I'm meeting mom for breakfast before work. In half an hour. So I still need to make my dinner for work. And get dressed, but hey, that's secondary.

Today's song is Winner Takes it All. Like I need to tell you who it's by.

xx

3.03

TUESDAY!
My district manager was down, so he had fun messing up my store and we'll have fun changing it back this week. At any rate, I did lots of work. And was tired. And the song for that is going to be Cinema by Benny Benassi ft. Gary Go. Because I heard it about 12 times on Sirius Radio on Tuesday.

xx

3.02

Looks like I did it again. Not only have I been sucking at this, but I also made the mistake of thinking there are 8 days in a week, as evidenced by post "2.08". I'll fix that. Maybe no one will notice.

Anyways. This is for Monday. And my Monday was spent at work. So that was fun. And it was Connor's birthday so I wished him a happy birthday while including a Mean Girls reference - October 3rd is the day Cady Heron asked Aaron Samuels what day it was and he answered, "It's October 3rd". I don't know if Connor appreciated it as much as he should have.

Right, so the song is going to be Someone Like You, covered by Luke Conard, Alex Goot, and Chad Shugg. Normally I am opposed to Adele covers, but I just love the three of them so much. I had to.

xx

2.08

I haven't started GC yet because I don't like livestreams because when I watch from home, I have this need to move around and do things so I wait until it's over, then watch the clips all separately. It's fantastic. So I'm going to do that.

Anywho, the song for today is another cover. Not an official theme, I just like lots of covers and sometimes need to get them out all at once. It's Telephone by the Morning Pages.

xx

2.07

I worked today. So I didn't get to watch GC. So I'm doing doubles tomorrow. It will be beautiful.

Anyways, work was uneventful and then Hailey and I caught up on almost all our tv show episodes we missed while I was away and she was working. So that's it. Also Merlin and Doctor Who but those are both fresh wounds I still can't talk about.

The song is Sorry Seems to be the Hardest Word, covered by Nataly Dawn.

Enjoy!
