Day Thirteen--"King of Wishful Thinking"

King of Wishful Thinking  
by Go West, 1990



Most of you should recognize this song from Pretty Woman. And if you don't, then you need to re-watch that classic film. Or, just watch this rocking video to remember the 90s goodness. Poor Go West--this was their one and only hit. I personally don't understand why--they are HOT.

I have realized that the majority of my morning songs deal with some sort of heartbreak..."Runaround Sue," "Makes Me Wonder," and this song. And I have also realized that these songs can never really sum up my life/day very well because, I am pleased to report, I'm never in a heartbroken state. So when these songs occur I just kind of chalk it up to watching too many romantic comedies and I thank my lucky stars I'm not greeted with songs like "Can't Touch This" or "Pass the Courvoisier" each and every morning.

Nothing really to report. Went to Ying Yang Chinese Buffet for lunch today then went to the Gallery North 44th Annual Outdoor Art Show. It was what you would expect--over-priced landscape and seascape paintings and over-priced big-bead-heavy jewelry.  However, there were some stands that weren't so bad. I actually purchased a photographic print of graffiti (the graffiti, not my print, pictured below) that is actually in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There are dissenting opinions on the artist--some say Banksy and some say Nick Walker. Whoever it is, I love it.

 
So, that's about it. Went to the gym (work off some of that chinese buffet) and basically have been avoiding work the rest of the time. Highlight of the day (besides the print, the chinese buffet, the morning song, and that I'm currently watching Matrix Reloaded while wearing an old shirt of Mark's--man, all good) was this:


That's right. Super Twin Pop, Cherry-Flavored.
As the copywriters of Mad Men declared: "Take It. Break It. Share It. Love It."
I did all but Share It. Too good to share.
Well, I'm off! Have a great night all!
