Foxmonkey Weekend Birthday Bash!

It continues! :-)

Thank you for birthday shout-outs from [livejournal.com profile] silveryscrape, [livejournal.com profile] hyprdryv2, [livejournal.com profile] sai, [livejournal.com profile] jae_w, [livejournal.com profile] raaone, [livejournal.com profile] mitajoey, and [livejournal.com profile] superpana.

It's been a two-day funfest so far, and I'm not stopping until Monday morning!

Did a little b-day shopping this morning. The local chapter of the Junior League has a big once a year thrift shop/garage sale/ type dealie, all proceeds to charity, so I moseyed over to see what I could find.

Nothing sparkly, to my surprise. But I did nab about eight CDs for a buck each, woohoo! Aimee Mann, Social Distortion, Mighty Might Bosstones and others that escape memory. Saw a couple of Morrisey CDs but yikes, I can only listen to that guy for ten, fifteen seconds, tops. I know that he's a god in some circles, but. Not here. Give me JC Chasez any day.

Also found: a little book about Frank Lloyd Wright's amazing architecture, Martha Stewart's Handmade Christmas, another Martha title that's eluding me at the moment, and a pair of tapestry Ralph Lauren flats in perfect condition that I nabbed for two bucks. TWO BUCKS! They're gorgeous. Also nabbed a pair of grey suede loafers, also in perfect condition, also for two bucks - but lacking the cachet of the Ralph Lauren label [insert snooty up-turned nose here].

Disappointment of the day - and I should know better: Found a copy of "Remember Two Things" by Dave Matthews Band. Yay! A buck! Discovered when I got home that I'd paid for the jewel case and liner notes, because the CD was missing. Damn and triple damn. Always look inside the jewel case! I know this from years of thrift shopping! Still, a buck to charity, so no big. ::cries::

Also found a Nickelodeon magazine with Daniel Radcliffe and Tom Felton on the cover. A couple of their interview bits need to be immortalized in my journal, whenever I get off my tush and into the other room to nab the mag.

So yes! All this and a few other things not worth mentioning, all for a mere $22.00! For charity!

And the foxmonkey weekend birthday bash continues!

Oh man. You are both delirious. Morrissey *is* a god.

Just thought I should let you know. ;)

Aaaaiiiii! Morrisey! My eyes! I mean, my ears!

I must admit that there was one song of his (or maybe he was with the band that he was with and yes, kill me because I can't remember the name of the band)...one of the lines was something like, "I am human and I need to be loved, just like anybody else does."

*Loved* that song, but mostly because of the kick-ass tune-age involved. And that song reminded me of *another* song that I can't remember now.

I've got the *worst* memory. ;-)

The Smiths!!! Man. I'm shocked. It's The Smiths! It's only the best band in the world. And that song is "How soon is now?" One of my absolute favourite songs ever.

Morrissey is a brilliant lyricist. No matter what you think of the music, he's one of the best. Hilarious and incredibly sad, all at the same time.

jeez. ;)

Morrisey! Eeeee! I almost bought them! I grabbed Arrested Development Unplugged, instead. ;-)
