Thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmiere, I've now downloaded all of Janelle Monàe's newest album from amazon.com. Youtube vids with her that are thoroughly enjoyable: Tightrope and Many Moons. For the record, album The ArchAndroid isn't just dance music. There are some lush orchestral numbers and a hip-hop song and more. I like most of it, and I definitely love her voice.
Battlestar Galactica related:lyssie's thoughts about Kara and Sam and abusive spouses.
The Chronicles of Narnia--new "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" movie trailer. Needs more Eustace. I'm not even sure what he looks like from this. Nonetheless I'm excited! (I hope I'm more satisfied with this one than I was with the second movie, which I enjoyed but definitely didn't love.)
Speaking of upcoming movies, I've agreed to go to the midnight showing of Eclipse. Because what every Twilight movie opening night needs is more sarcastic older-than-target-audience women to giggle throughout the film. Perhaps I should buy popcorn to throw at the people who glare at me.
(I'm kidding! I'll try and keep the giggling quiet. And I wouldn't throw popcorn at people.Unless they threw it at me first.)
Fandom-related, here's the unfunnybusiness write-up of that RPF SPN fanfic. Just for the record, I'm not interested in RPF and I don't watch Supernatural, but what happened with that particular fanfic isn't limited to that fandom or that author. I'm joining the chorus and saying please let me know if I post something offensive.
On a completely unrelated note (which fits the tone of this post so far, yes?), I've been looking for sandals. Specifically, I want flat sandals with a reasonably cushiony sole, nothing between the toes and not backless. This is a bit specific, yes, but not that hard. It's sandal season right now. I've been to every single store in my town that sells shoes (except Payless), plus the DSW in a nearby town and there's nothing that fits right. Most stores don't even have sandals that fit my description except for gladiator sandals, and those are definitely not for me. One department store had two styles I wanted to try, but no pairs available in my size. WOE!
Um. Unfortunately all this shoe-shopping has not only resulted in no black sandals, I've also spent $80 on other shoes. I've bought four pairs of new, name-brand shoes for that $80 (yay, sales and coupons!), but still. No flat black sandals! And I have to wait until school starts again to wear most of the new shoes I did buy, because they're really for work. I hate waiting!
Yeah, my life is so difficult. Hah!
