OBAMICON and Clementine's

UPDATE:

I'm at Clementine's right now on Manor Rd. Funny enough, I brought clementines to eat HAHA. Anyway, so I'm checking Missed Connections on Craigslist... and today's post of the day is:

that girl was pissed at the clementines boy - w4m (manor rd.)

but i went in there recently for the first time in a long time and was blown away by all the adorable sweet boys working there. i approve.

RE:
Pretty sure that was a guy, posting about a guy. I was there last night too, all the guys working are really sweet. The whole place was full of hipsters, not just the staff - "hipster" is just a style, anyway. Didn't get any snobbery from anyone there, it was probably just shyness, or they were busy.

RE:
Hey! I was there last night too, and I'm not a hipster.

And I totally agree that the guys who work there are really nice. (And cute.) Incidentally, so are the girls. Way to go, whoever hires over there. Maybe the original poster was in a bad mood and had it reflected back on him, but that's hardly their fault.

What I think:
I'm here right now... and there is a cute boy working!!! yummy.
missed connections = awesome.

ANOTHER thing, That Austin Girl also updated about Clementine's happenings this week. Apparently, this is the place to be! I agree.

Salvatore Ferragamo, George W. Bush, Bromance

I really actually didn't get too much crazy shopping done. I did my Black Friday rounds at Allen Outlet Mall, but ended up just running through a thunderstorm underneath a highway to get back to my friend's car... Haha. I did go to Nordstrom Rack and found myself a sweet sweet sweet steal. I found some cute Salvatore Ferragamo oxford/bowling shoe-esque shoes in the wrong aisle... but in my size! And made for wide feet! And 35% off the already marked-down price! I got these babies for a little over $100 when they were supposed to be about 6 times as much.

I also saw Rachel Getting Married. I liked it, but it probably wasn't the best Thanksgiving film to see with the family. But then again, my family is really weird and likes watching dysfunctional family movies together... I do think Anne Hathaway did a great job. I think she will definitely get an Oscar nod. The only thing that threw me off was the cinematography. They kept using a hand-held camera which is great and all... but I didn't understand what the point of it was. And it just made me want to puke.

If you haven't seen this interview, it's quite interesting:



C: "What were you most unprepared for?"

G: "Well I think I was unprepared for war."

And finally, I am excited about The City with Whitney... but... Bromance?! ... Starring Brody Jenner and his guy pals... I don't even know...

Students Egg Obama Poster at Anti-Obama Rally at Texas A&M

This is wrong on so many levels.
I don't know how I just caught wind of this, but it was brought up today in my journalism class.

The sad thing is my journalism teacher is probably conservative and he described it as "a poor way of students expressing their feelings."

Oh cut the crap please!

This is pure racism. At a school where they have time and time again been classified as closed-minded red-neck conservatives. Why in the world would you want to reinforce that?

I just don't understand how people can do this to each other.

I am angry!!

The Go! Team

So I stumbled across this today.
The Go! Team has a site with free stuff including songs, remixes, etc.



You can access it here.

If I had the choice to be in a band, it would most definitely be this one!!!
I saw them in Paris this past summer, and it was so amazing.

---

Anyhow, Diplo on Friday was awesome.
We got to dance on stage with a hot dog and a pizza, then hang out with them afterward.
It was a pretty crazy night that consisted of mysterious afterparties, boys in Ghostface Killah hats, and bringing Red Bull to a band I saw open for Oasis a few years ago at 3:30 in the morning.

I ended up not going to see The National yesterday. It just wasn't fit for my state of mind. I don't know if that makes any sense to you, but hopefully the next time they come, I'll have someone to go with so it won't be so depressing...

Lastly, I'm debating to go see Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! tonight... does requesting off of work include mandatory nights of inventory...?

I stumbled across this on Austin360.com, lol. Me, Karinne, and Lindsay enjoying some free Ben&Jerry's on Election Day. Cherry Garcia!!!

Ok, and then today I was making a survey with my roommate for my marketing research class. We were on the question of specifying your ethnicity... and then I was like ... why do minorities in America only have that tag-line after their ethnicity. Like... African-American... and Asian-American? I know people say it because we should all be American. But what if you're from like the UK or Australia.. or idk. Zimbabwe. What if you are Asian-Zimbabwian... what are you?

Just a thought.

Finally, if you want amazing deals on amazing shoes, you should go to Feathers Boutique on South Congress... because it's unhealthy, and that's a good thing!

If you've had your head stuck up your a-hole,
now would be a good time to pull it out and read the paper.

Really.
