Random Songs From My Playlist #2

Thanks to a reminder by a friend, I think it's time to enjoy the hotness that is Maroon 5's Adam Levine and This Love. God, I love this video.

Best.Chorus.Ever

Just a lyric moment:

You're in my heart, you're in my soul

You'll be my breath should I grow old

You are my lover, you're my best friend

You're in my soul

I do love me some Rod Stewart.

Say Hello!!

To the spousal one, mr. kim, who alleges that he had no idea I had a new blog, much less a new domain. How he missed out on that fact is beyond me, but I'm a little vague sometimes, so perhaps it is all my fault (not frigging likely, but I'm open).

Mr. Kim does the laundry and cooks most of the meals in our house. Isn't that super-nice of him?

Belated

Intervieww questions will be sent soon. Been offline for a few days and only got one set done. Will finish this weekend.

Interview Me!

Questions for me from Sharon:

1. What's your favorite outfit that makes you feel good when you wear it?
At this particular moment it is a pair of Levi's, my Hard Rock London shirt and an Old Navy knit deep-vee neck (as in you have to wear something under it because it's so low cut) top over the t-shirt (the Hard Rock shirt is too tight to wear alone) and wedges.

2. List your five CDs you would take to a desert island.
Beatles One, Matchbox Twenty Yourself or Someone Like You, Dixie Chicks Fly, Killers Hot Fuss, Garth Brooks No Fences.

3. If you had to eat one food only for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Popcorn.

4. Describe the best way to spend a rainy day.
In bed and whatever that entails...books, naps, telly, hubby, kids, phone, laptop.

5. What's your biggest pet peeve?
Whiney children--my own or those of other people.

The rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick thequestions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone elsein the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them fivequestions

Berate

The word of the day is BERATE--to scold angrily. So, who would you like to berate? My list:

1. Blogrolling--WHY can I not see which blogs in my Blog Roll have been updated? This is how I keep up.

2. The weather--RAIN, dammit. I want some rain. Am tired of all this dry, dusty ickiness.

3. Bubblehead--Making teachers direct traffic with a homemade stop sign attached to a paint-stirring stick is just about the dumbest thing you've ever asked us to do and I am tired of it. Thank you for retiring.

4. Stupid people--Get the hell off the internet. You're just making it harder for those of us with the capactiy for rational thought and logical debate by forcing us to wade through your abject stupidity.

5. The fuckwit with the horn--Stop honking every time you drive by my house, moron. I don't care if you do see someone you know sitting on the porch across the street. You're wimpy, squeaky little "beep beep" is about to send me over the fricking edge.

Accent? What Accent?

I'm home from London--great trip, btw. I'll update that later over there, but do have one tidbit to share here. One of my favorite little chains to grab a sandwich, Eat, will heat sandwiches for you. You order, ask for your stuff heated and then they write your name on your bag and call you when it's ready.

The cashier asked me my name, and I said, "Kim." She was Asian and spoke with a fairly strong accent and looked at me a bit confused. I repeated, "Kim". She looked at me for a second or so, then nodded and wrote my name on the bag and fixed the sandwich (ham and cheese with mustard on ciabatta...yum yum, but don't eat it cold because it sucks that way). When the food was ready, I took my bag and went to sit down. It wasn't until I was pulling the food out that I saw how my name was spelled and laughed out loud. Muchly. My name as interpreted phonetically by the server? Kiam. Methinks perhaps I have more of an accent than I think.

Fashion

I'm not really sure about clothing these days--I've had trouble finding stuff that I like and that doesn't look as if it were made for a teenager, so I'm much more aware of clothes lately than I had been in the past. So, here in London, it's been rather amusing to see the fashion choices that people make. I know that London is supposed to be on the cutting edge of fashion and trends and about two years ahead of the U.S. in that regard, but honestly, I fail to see anything that great here. I'm going to try to check out TopShop and H&M to look around, but the stuff on the streets has by and large been heinous.

Naturally, since it is London, there are a fair amount of tourists, so I do try to keep their unfortunate appearances from clouding my opinion of Londoners. Some of the more, um, special, tourist moments thus far:

1. a woman who had to be at least my age, maybe older, wearing a wee denim mini--a good six inches above her knee--with leggings. If you are old enough to have worn leggings the first time, then you are too old to be wearing them this time, at least with a mini-skirt, however I could have even forgiven her that had she not been wearing that mini-skirt in about a size 18 or so, which made it look like she had a giant denim box wrapped around her body and, far worse, she had on a very form-fitting tee (I hesitate to say baby tee because I think this one was just a regular tee stretched to the limit) that was one.inch.too.short. There was visible fat roll peeking out from the top of the skirt--actually protruding is more like it. It was just horrid.

2. Loads upon loads of white boots. I think every European in the UK is wearing some form of atrocious white ankle (or just a bit higher) boots.

3. a backless halter with a skirty bottom on another person over the age of 20 and over 140 pounds.

4. fishnets with some sort of patterned hose under them. I thought it was leg hair at first.

5. shiny things. Lots of silver belts, gold hairclips, and other accessories all with fake shiny finishes.

We're headed to Covent Garden today, so there should be a boatload of other fashion crimes to witness.
