Feathers, Shoes, Dinos, oh my!

  Let’s hear it for that pop culture reference, eh?

   Hey there.

   So, since spring has sprung, I’ve done mainly two things: 1) watered my plants 2) sat around all day. When I wasn’t doing those things, I shopped, went to the movies, dropped some dino sponge capsules in some water, made texting gloves, and got a contest prize in the mail. Hey, it’s only been spring for two days, okay?

 

  As you can see in the poorly-colored picture above, I have three fresh plants(two strawberry, one’s, like, parsley or something) and one week-old little guy(sunflowers? marigolds? who knows?). Also, the somewhat random glass of water has a little yellow dinosaur-shaped sponge in it. I have maybe six more until my Dino World is complete. Thanks, Rite Aid clearance section. 
    Movie tickets. I love them, man. These up hurr are old-skool, technically speaking, because the real-people theater now uses CRAPPY, CRAPPY PAPER THAT IS NOT BULLETIN-BOARD-WORTHY AT ALL! Anyway, I say real-people because these tickets, like most of my saved ones, are from a $1.50 theater fifteen minutes away(by car, on the highway, going fast:). The tickets are for movies that are freshly taken out of the usual theaters, around 2-3 monthes old, though yet to hit DVD. Always $1.50, always perfect.
   The movies I saw were Tangled and The Mechanic. A mini movie review? You got it.
   I felt like Tangled was the perfect movie(if taken seriously) for the older toddler(6-8) audience. If older, and already a Disney fan, it was adorable! I loved it. It was so cute, and the best part? It had my guy Zachary Levi from Chuck! I love that show and that guy. 
   The Mechanic was a bit over-the-top, but still enjoyable, although the plot was a bit flimsy at times. The main guy was as great as he always is in action movies, and the no-name kid wasn’t so bad, either.

          

 Alrighty, let’s rip this picture apart, shall we?
        The picture of that chick from Glee: She’s on the cover of Peta’s Animal Times, which I got in the mail, due to my previous monetary donation.
        The feathers: An awesome earring set from Target. SCORE.
        The gloves: .37 from Target, I cut off the tips to make texting gloves for 
         next winter. Inspired by the kid from Shameless, I’ll probably dye them
        white(which will probably give them a gray color–perfection).
        The pack of capsules: Dino sponge capsules baby! If you’ve never seen
        sponge capsules? Then, my friend, you had no childhood.

               

  These are my new shoes. I won them. Oh. Oh yes.
    I won them in an online magazine giveaway, about two weeks ago(and they’re already here!). They’re by Crocs. …Wait, what?
    You see, Crocs are trying to makeoverize themselves. These Carlie flats? Yeah, $50. I wear a size 6, that’s what fits in these, too. They also have a jelly-ness to them, as well. You know, jellies! Jellies, the most popular, cheap shoe from the ’80’s? … Dude. Google it.
  I’ll review them after wearing them out a few times. Cool?

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAlrighty then. Catch you later, alligator.

 Products mentioned were bought by myself, excluding the shoes, which were won. I am not getting paid by any companies mentioned for this post, nor am I affiliated with them. Opinions are honest.

Snail Mail & New Music!

 Hey there.
   So remember how I donated to Peta2 waaaaay back in November? Of course you don’t! I never mentioned it, don’t feel bad. Anyway, they had a malfunction, so I gave them a call and guess what arrived today!  Take a look:

 

 Pretty nifty, right? Um, YEAH. I donated $20, but you only have to donate $16 to get all this good stuff. Dude, I’m such a sucker for donor cards.

 

 So I saw Love & Other Drugs last night, and fell in love with the soundtrack. I simply had to go to the music store today. I got Thank You Happy Birthday — Cage the Elephant; Hurley — Weezer; Speak Now — Taylor Swift; Science & Faith — The Script. I wrote ENTIRE reviews for you guys, but halfway through writing the last one my computer froze. I know it sounds like total bull, but I’m serious, and now I’m super irritated. Just know that all the albums mentioned above are well worth a listen or two(or, if you’re me, four or five:).
   I was lucky to get a lazy day today. Tomorrow, I’m booked completely…Shopping! 🙂 Saturday Night Live is on later, Jesse Eisenberg is the host, and Mark Zuckerberg is rumoured to appear. We’ll see!
  One more thing–Waiting for the End by Linkin Park is my new favorite song. I’m serious, I’ve been listening to it since around five o’clock (it’s seven right now). Go listen to it, and be ready for goosebumps(in response to its amazingness).
  Happy Saturday, lovelies!
