Gorillaz: El Manana Music Video
This is an incredibly depressing and really amazing, well done music video done by the Gorillaz. Youtube wouldn't let me put it on my blog, so you should just click on the link =)
They're going to be playing on Halloween weekend in LA, and I'm so bummed about it. I really want to stay in Portland for Halloween, but I've already missed the Gorillaz once at Coachella. I shouldn't miss them again....

Home GOOODS
Umm, I'm pretty excited to go back to Portland. I might possibly have a job lined up with a tutoring company, which would be great to put on my resume. The place is only open Sat-Mon and the hours are awesome. The issue is it's way far out in SE, and I won't have a car. I'm pretty bummed about this whole car situation, but I'm going to get a bike and see how that goes...
I went to Home Goods the other day to search around for some apartment stuff and got a little too excited about it. I got in the zone and, before I knew it, my entire cart was full. Of really random shit, too. I had some crazy wall decoration that I thought would look great in my future bathroom, and then I found some really great sheets, and an awesome tea pot, and great little office organizer, and a chair, and an adorable little box to put nicknacks in, and a perfect night stand. After I had it all in my cart I realized that I couldn't afford any of it, so I slowly unloaded it all and put everything back in its original place. This situation tends to happen a lot; the whole loading and unloading of the cart thing. It's pointless really, and I don't know why I do it...but I assume that it is how everyone shops.
I ended up going up to the register with just the sheets. There was an old lady that was walking up to the register at the same time as I was and, seeing as all I wanted to do was ask the cashier if the sheets were on sale, I took the right of way and "accidentally" cut the woman off. I asked my question and the cashier said, "No, it doesn't say it's on sale. Look at the price tag." Then I felt kind of stupid. And she continued, "And there's a line that starts over there," and pointed behind me to the line of customers that had just witnessed me cut off a little old lady. I'm not sure why, but I kind of panicked and, in an attempt to redeem myself, tried to say sorry, but it came out as: "Um, ook...well you can..I don't need the sheets" and then ran out.
I'm kinda pissed that I didn't get those sheets. They were only $30 (which I hear isn't too bad). But, I'm having unexplained anxiety about going back into Home Goods, so there's no chance I'll be getting them anytime soon.
After Home Goods I stopped by my grandpa's to catch up. He suffered from "transient amnesia" a few days ago. It was after a funeral that he had given a eulogy at. As Diana was driving him home he couldn't remember where they had just been, what they had been doing, or why he was in a car. She took him to the hospital, and they ran all sorts of tests to see if it was a concussion or stroke or something...but it turns out that it was nothing. He simply went into a state where his memory failed and he couldn't (and still can't) recall anything from those five hours of his life. He can't remember an entire funeral. And it is not an indicator of developing more severe memory loss because it supposedly happens to random people maybe once or twice in life. So Grampa's all good. What a crazy experience for him.
