The Consumer in Me

I love this song, and the new video is cute as well. I first heard the song when I was researching the band after my sister mentioned that she liked them after seeing the video for "The Queen and I" on The N. I found that a lot of their videos were posted on YouTube. I ended up buying the album from iTunes. I like it. A lot of the songs are silly and fun, and a bit cheesy at times, but all around it's a good listen.

So, about the title of the entry, I ordered a bunch of stuff today:
• 3 shirts from forever21.

• 3 pairs of shoes from journey's, including another pair of Onitsukas. I also got a cute bag.

• 1 30G iPod, black from Apple.

I suppose the iPod was a little graduation gift to myself. The thing is, I like to buy cool things, including clothes, but I don't like to drop a bunch of money on stuff, and usually go straight to the "sale" or "clearance" section. However, I will drop the dough on things like computers & electronics, because you definitely get what you pay for in that regard. Sometimes, however, it's good to put down the extra buck on clothing, because I've discovered that the nicer stuff is a bit more expensive, but you're paying for the quality.

Seriously, though, I'm in desperate need of some new shoes, but I'm the practical type that want's to be able to wear stuff with more than one outfit. Sometimes it's hard finding the pair that's just right. I also still need to purchase a winter coat. I didn't have much luck finding something I really liked on line, so it looks like I'll have to brave the holiday crowds and go to the mall and try to find something.

Well, now that I'm done with school and have all this free time on my hands before I get a job, I suppose I can work on some art that's way overdue to be finished. My friend Ashely got me a sketchbook as a graduation gift, so I'll be breaking that in over the holiday.

I would also like to do some photo shoots and independent graphic desingn stuff to exercise my skills and help my portfolio. It's gotten no love, lately.
