is it february already?

Long time no blog.

Last week I saw a commercial on TV promoting a new line of Converse sneakers at Target called One Star. I was intrigued--they were released today and I am seriously coveting these. I'm very tempted to buy them. I'm not exactly certain as to whether or not they're sold in stores. But I seriously think these are perfect for spring this year. I don't have money budgeted for shoes right now, but I'm pretty sure I can give up my movie budget for shoes. Okay, so, I bought them! I haven't bought casual shoes in quite some time. Now I have to wait impatiently for them to be shipped!

Speaking of waiting impatiently for things to be shipped, my Dooney passport holder still hasn't been shipped and it's still out of stock. Sigh. I'm very near the point of canceling the order and buying one from somewhere else. I've found some gorgeous ones on Etsy.com the other day. There's a gorgeous yellow bird one from tinymeat I am coveting. Once I figure out how to cancel my Dooney purchase and if it's still there I shall buy it.

Right now I have Panic At the Disco's new song on repeat. It's quite good--I didn't even know they had a new song! It's up on their myspace, but I'm not linking to it because I've gone to their myspace twice and it jumps to another page--some type of scam. Boo. I've uploaded it here: Panic at the Disco - Nine in the Afternoon (obviously it's only up for previewing purposes). I am seriously loving it. I like how the band's matured since their first album. You can preorder Pretty. Odd from Amazon.

Last week I saw Control which was an incredible movie. I really didn't know all that much about Ian Curtis or Joy Division when I saw it and I still don't know much. But watching it for purely entertainment sake was a lovely thing. It's black and white which is absolutely gorgeous. Sam Riley is absolutely gorgeous too. The movie did prompt me to listen to more Joy Division, but I haven't quite gotten round to finishing that endeavor. It really is an interesting movie, and I guess it's more real since it obviously happened.

Anyways, I have more to say, but I'm going to finally watch Factory Girl now that the house is empty.
