House-cleaning, happy-houring, movie-watching
It's the weekend! And, of course, I'm wearing jeans. Gotta get my denim fix when I can, people. Saturday was going to be a majorly boring day, and started off that way. I cleaned the apartment, top to bottom, inside to out, did every dish in the kitchen, hung up the weeks of outfits that I had thoughtfully delegated to the floor, ironed my silks, bought new shower curtains, and sorted through the mountain of papers that had claimed nationhood over our coffee-table. I was just settling in with September's issue of Lucky and a bottle of nail polish when Joe waltzed in the front door, home 6 hours early from work. We totally took advantage of the extra time together and went downtown for happy hour (only we forgot it was Saturday and there is no happy hour on Saturday) at Rock Bottom Brewery and then took in [500] Days of Summer. My girl-crush on ZD has now morphed into a mad man-crush on JG-L:
I already blasphemed this on Twitter, but here I go again: Zooey was adorable, of course, but I wasn't floored by her performance. It was fine. Little Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who isn't so little anymore, rocked the crap outta that movie, though. The crap. Was rocked. Out of it. By the kid from Third Rock.
In an attempt to keep this post from turning into more of an incoherent ramble than it already has, let's get to the outfit stuff. I love these new shoes! I've been lusting after jazz shoes, brogues, oxfords, and other retro lace-ups, but just haven't found the right pair. These Seychelles totally fulfilled that dream, and for minimum financial sacrifice. Plus they're comfy. Plus, I love them. I hung out in the bike room of our apartment building for my photoshoot. I wanted to be near my bike, since I still can't quite ride it yet. My right arm isn't strong enough to hold down the brake lever yet, and since you kind of need brakes on a bike, I haven't had the stones to risk it yet.
