music, knickers, procrastination, and world domination

So after talking to Natalie tonight about this whole blog thing, I decided that I'm probably putting too much pressure on myself to always write something profound or even interesting. So here's me, just writing about my day, even if it really wasn't all that exciting.

Like most days, I worked at the Gap, but today was a bit different because I worked in Gap Kids instead of the adult section. I really wouldn't mind working in the kids section if it weren't for the music. One of the songs is about a girl falling in love with a guy after she sees him eating a burrito . . . then there's the remake of Mambo #5, which replaces all the names of the girls with names of Disney characters (a little bit of Mickey in my life, a little bit of Minnie by his side . . . ), and, of course, there's the "I love my jeans" song, which mentions that the guy would rather wash his jeans in a creek than take them to the cleaners. I would think if you really loved your jeans, you'd rather take them to the cleaners than wash them in dirty, unsanitary water, but that's just me . . . and my favorite: "my dog is in my family tree."

At one point, a British woman came into the store and asked me where the "knickers" were. I couldn't remember what "knickers" were, so I directed her toward the capri pants, and she then informed me that she meant underwear. Whoops. :)

After work, I procrastinated a bit by going over to the Razavi's, talking on the phone, and then to the Stroesslers' for SNL. So, of course, on the way back here, I stopped by the 24-hour Starbucks for a latte to keep me up awhile to work on some projects. And it looks as though I'm also procrastinating by writing a blog. So I'll wrap this up, but not before saying thanks to Kevin for providing the quote of the day on my voicemail today . . .

"I'm currently not doing a whole lot. I'm just trying to take over the world. It's going pretty good. There's always some opposition when you're trying to take over the world. It doesn't really pay much, but it's very self-fulfilling. I'm not really sure how, but, somehow, I fulfill myself."
