The Jared shoe.

THE JARED SHOE.

So, there’s a small feature on 30 Seconds To Mars in the December issue of the AstroView magazine under the Music section. It’s a little column with a band photo for the MTV Top 100 Hits of 2008 thingy. Interesting things they mentioned. See it here.

Me and Mun begila BubbleTalk with each other. Very nothing better to do one. Talking nonsense as usual. And I got my CallerTune yesterday. I ended up settling for The Fantasy, although now I think I might get A Beautiful Lie too. Just for fun ;)

Oh bleh, there was this giant lizard in my kitchen sink that wouldn’t move. I couldn’t even wash the dishes. I don't know why I don't like lizards. They're so big and fat and slimy... *shudders*

Imma go line up 1825463 song and movie downloads. Might as well take advantage of this speedy internet while I’ve got it. And I'm enjoying my speakers... I haven't listened to music from speakers for a long time since my speakers in Brunei went bust :(
And it’s high time I downloaded and watched ABL 2.0 from start to end.

Ahh, Bolt’s opening in cinemas tomorrow and I wanna watch. But no one to go watch with. Sigh. I wonder when it's premiering in Brunei...

Gah! My stupid iPod is giving me problems as usual. It won’t connect properly to my PC. For some reason my PC can’t detect that it’s there. I knew I should’ve had it looked at before the warranty expired. Darn.

(Disclaimer: You don’t have to read this bit if you don’t want to.)
And oh, I realized I never told the story of the Jared shoes. It’s… pretty bizarre. First, let me introduce you to what we call the Jared shoe.
So, I was at the LCCT airport in KL yesterday, and at the check-in line there was this guy behind me in the line and I’m looking at him because, well, I’m a starer, okay, I admit it. He’s Malay, I think. Obviously a rock music fan.
And my eyes travelled down, down, and then blam! The shoes. He was wearing the Jared shoes! My first impulse thought was to take a picture of it. It’s the very first time I’d ever seen someone wearing the exact shoe.
I was so shocked and stunned and all that. And pretty excited to see it in the flesh, other than at the shoe store. His were really white and clean, except for the suede bit. A stark difference compared to, well, Jared’s dirty, scuffed shoes.
So, I stare at them a bit more and then I leave. I’m still on a bit of a high and I wonder if I should go back and find him and take a picture of his shoes. Then I figured that’d be a kinda weird thing to do. So, no. I get over it and move on. Just with the notion that I now really, really want those shoes, as opposed to before, which was just one really.
Then, and this is the best part, get this: At the bag screening place in the domestic departures area, I suddenly notice that the guy standing in front of me is, you guessed it, also wearing the Jared shoes! I couldn’t help but just stare with my mouth open. His were dirtier than the other guy’s.
But anyway, I couldn’t believe. Two different people, both wearing the Jared shoes, in the same building on the same day. I just had a total field day. Needless to say, I was a very happy camper when I boarded my plane a little while later.

And oh, by the way, happy 15th birthday Molly! :)

Now I’m off to continue browsing iPod skins. I’m thinking of buying two — one 30 Seconds To Mars Mithra one, and another one… maybe pink or something.
*floats away happily*


P/S: My MSN's working, yay!
