Top 5 Thoughts of the Day
My girl Jenn brought it to my attention today that I haven’t done a top 5 in a while. And I know all three of you out there that read these miss them terribly, so here you go. Top 5 Thoughts of the Day, my life is (mostly) ’90s edition:
1. Being a constantly busy person is not for me. I need free time (to troll trumblr), I need coffee meet up times, I need lunch time… It’s overwhelming to think about all the internet goodies I’ve missed while “furthering my career” and “being productive”
2. Catch up on your ’90s slang here.
3. Check out my favorite picture encapsulating the ’90s:

Top 4 Thoughts of the Day
1. The Coachella lineup official rating: eh. Not thrilled. Too much EDM. Not enough old school awesome (no nostalgic hip hop act, a la De La Soul)
2. I’m crossing my fingers more than I’ve ever crossed hoping that the Music Box closure is only temporary. Desperately awaiting Dr. Dog, Trombone Shorty and Nada Surf (among many others I’m sure) in the near future. And waxing nostalgic over my favorite LA concerts (which all happen to have taken place at the Music Box): Raphael Saadiq and Two Door Cinema Club
3. MY CAR IS IN LA and I’m beyond nervous to be out there among the crazy LA drivers. Show some mercy, please
4. My transformation to total ’90s babe is almost complete (see: new christmas present. thank you boyfriend for fueling this slammin’ wardrobe)
The essence of finals procrastination in videos: Part 2
Britney Spears has some great videos. My only disagreement with this Rolling Stone Reader’s Poll? The absence of (You Drive Me) Crazy.
So I’ve added it

i’m in a ’90s mood today. This is not a unique thing, I’m often in a ’90s mood. I honestly think I missed my decade by merely a decade. I think I really could have hit my stride in the ’90s, if I hadn’t wasted the decade being in elementary school and, you know, growing up

90 Greatest '90s Fashion Trends
^ accurate list
Trends I would like to revisit that aren’t already being revisited by frat bros and sorority girls everywhere (because we all know the ’90s are all that — thanks Nickelodeon):
- Overalls (with one strap down)
- Rollerblades (especially since I don’t know how to ride a bike)
- Frosted tips (hair, duh)
- Neon windbreakers (see earlier post, I’ve got this covered)
- Turtlenecks (my 7th grade wouldn’t have happened without them, or specifically the three that I wore everyday in rotation)
- Those black platform shoes with the big elastic strap (you know)
- Sweaters tied around the waist (not only attractive, but also immensely useful)
