god then created the world's comfiest pair of socks....



...and he saw that they were good.

Really though, these socks are friggin awesome. I still can't get over how comfy they are.

Anyways, I went on youtube today and found this on the front page:

The Acorn -Crooked Legs. I almost choked.

K here's the thing: The Acorn is this band that I only discovered recently -sort of. It's kinda like this band's music was destined to find me in one way or another, cause honestly, I have had encounters with this band's music before without realizing it and each time I have been filled with overwhelming desire to figure out who the band was (but I could never figure it out).

When I finally got the CD, it was only after hearing it in Play and then asking the employees what was playing. I took the Cd home, and when one of the tracks played I realized that it was a song I had feverishly (but to no avail) searched for on google months before.

Ever since, I have been entirely addicted to this CD, with Crooked Legs being one of my favorite songs so it freaked me out a bit that it suddenly got featured on Youtube today.

Yes, I am weird.

Oh, interesting things to note, today I bought myself a children's book called Coraline by Neil Gaiman. Why? Well, mostly because I'm super-OMFG-stoked for the movie. CHECK THIS SHIT OUT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuXZ8l4j8Ag

Now, I know what you're thinking, but no, I am not interested in this solely because the director is the same man who directed The Nightmare Before Christmas, but thank you for assuming (if you didn't assume though, I apologize). Actually, if not ironically, I have far more interest in this movie than I do in Tim Burton's latest venture into animated films "9". The reason here being that Coraline looks just so much more colorful, stylish, and exciting, not to mention it's based off a book that was apparently a modern classic I missed out on in my youth.

It's coming out in February and I am SO-SO-SOOO excited, except I don't have anyone who would like to watch this with me. I may have to go alone. Oh well.
