The things I would tell you about if we were eating lunch together.
I saw a woman this morning that reminded me of when Jamie Foxx played Wanda on In Living Color. I said good morning to her, and her entire face lit up and she responded with an incredibly cheery 'Good morning!'. Then I felt really bad for thinking the Wanda thing.
I prefer Solange Knowles over Beyoncé. She has great, fashion-forward style, and she sang this song on Yo Gabba Gabba once that still gets stuck in my head even though I saw it a few years ago. She has rocked the hell out of closely cropped hair AND a 'fro. A gossip blog that I read refers to her as Basement Baby and, even though she is my favorite Knowles sister, I still think that's funny. (Dlisted is the blog. It's hilarious and filthy; I recommend it highly.)
There's a sound on the PATCO that reminds me of the noise right before a flashback during an episode of Lost. It creeps me out like maybe I'm having a flashback and I don't even know it. I only watched a few seasons of that show so I'm kind of annoyed that it keeps popping into my commute bringing it's tidings of uneasy feelings.
There was a woman on the train today with a coat the texture of a shag rug and the pattern of a navajo blanket. I wonder if she regrets that coat decision. I'm sure that when the coat was new in the fall, it was fun to wear. But after this winter, it looked like a teddy bear left at a makeshift memorial after a snowstorm. As someone with a plaid coat, I can testify that having a patterned winter coat is a pain in the ass. Anytime you wear a non-coordinating pattern that can be seen outside of the coat, you look like a bag lady.
Taco Bell has a new commercial featuring men whose actual names are Ronald McDonald talking about how much they love Taco Bell. I hope they make a full-fledged campaign out of it instead of dropping it into one-off land. There have got to be a ton of kings and red-headed Wendys out there waiting to be found.
I've been making turkey bacon for breakfast, but I can never really tell when it's cooked. So mostly I eat a lot of really burnt turkey bacon.
Fin.
