For some reason this week, though quiet, seemed weird and fast…and not weird in a bad way…just weird…slightly off kilter, askew, off. I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something in the air this week. Do you feel it? Have you noticed? Tell me I’m not crazy (though we’re all pretty sure that is not actually the case). It almost feels like the energy has reached a breaking point where one thing or another must give way to something different and new…like an energetic ear pop is about to take place. Does that make sense? *shrugs* Maybe it’s just me…hell if I know.
Things I Love Thursday:
The Off Kilter Edition
* Modcloth’s customer service. There’s a reason I’m a Modcloth affiliate, you know. It’s not just because they have some of the absolute cutest clothes and housewares, but it’s also because their customer service is AWESOME!!! They ran this amazing sale for facebook fans (seriously…50% off…if you don’t “Like” them yet, you really should) so I ordered this fantastic dress for a song. It arrived yesterday and the box was completely jacked…totally mangled. I called Modcloth to let them know and they, in all their awesomeness, gave me a coupon even though the dress was completely fine. How sweet is that? I LOVE Modcloth to bits!
* Jah Division…Dub Will Tear Us Apart. Check the bottom of the post to hear it.
* I completely forgot to mention this last week, but the honey and I went to see Bridesmaids and we both loved it. It is so refreshing to see an genuinely funny (albeit crass) ensemble cast of WOMEN. Hollywood never gives women their due as comedic performers; so, kudos to you Judd Apatoh! Well done and thank you! And girls, you ROCK.
* UFO’s. And not just because my honey and I saw one last night while we were leaving Target (which we totally did…it was cigar shaped and glowing this amazing red-orange…no wings, no sound, no exhaust trail…AND it was still daylight.)…I have always found them fascinating. Really really fascinating…and really really odd that our government is one of the few to deny that there are strange things in the sky that aren’t “ours.” France admitted it, as did the UK, Mexico, Russia (I think…I’m pretty sure Russia did, but don’t quote me on it) as well as several other nations. Man, our government thinks we are really stupid…
* String cheese. For reasons unbeknownst to me I have been fiending for it.
* The Edison Bar. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this magnificent beast of a bar in previous incarnations of Kisses & Chaos, but I simply cannot help myself. Would you just LOOK at these interiors?!?!?! They make my brain go all tingly. Steampunk speakeasy? YES PLEASE!!!
* Stripes mixed with florals…although I have a co-worker who STRONGLY disagrees with me on this point.
* My honey, My Mischa, My family. You are all so very wonderful and I am truly blessed.
* All of you. I thank you for your support and friendship. You guys are amazing!
What are you in love with this week?
