Deceptively good albums
So after listening to this album which I thought had promise, it was not thrilling. I'm the type of person who listens to albums all the way through so after getting this one and listening to the first track I'm pretty hyped but then that subsided with every other track, disappointing. Who puts the one good track first. Hopefully this grows on me.

Ugg
Winter is coming.
Do you know what that means?
Uggs.
Ugghhhhh.
Yeah, Uggs probably keep your feet nice and toasty, but seriously. They're hideous. They make you look like you were bit by a rabbid squirrel and your feet swelled up. I can't say that I would ever want my feet looking like giant marshmallows.
Ugg sounds like something a caveman would say. How does that possibly help them sell their boots? Would you be compelled to buy something if you associated it with "primitive" humans? In our technological age, I don't think so.

So now that this is essentially my blog ... This summer I went to visit Kelly in chicago during lollapalloza as I'm sure you konw. We once went to this Jimmy Johns to eat and when we were there there was a girl with this bag that said "Jacobs by Marc Jacobs" .... Now i am thinking what is this Marc Jacobs started a new line? and how original when his old lines include Marc by Marc Jacobs ... but i continue to read the bag ... " For Marc by Marc Jacobs" ... What? ... "In collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs" ... Ok so the bag is clearly a pun which started all these emotions in me. Damnit if i don't love Marc by Marc Jacobs. My favorite bag in high school was Rachel Hone's Marc bag but at the same time I love Wit and this bag has it. The fact that the line is named Marc is a good thing to ridicule. How ever will I ease my cognitive dissonance? After going online and doing some research this bag is actually made by Marc Jacobs. As me and Misha were discussing last night this is pure genius. Not only is it showing how clever and witty Marc Jacobs is but it is a crazy add. No matter how you look at it you will see Marc and Jacobs. The bag is also sold exclusively in the Marc Jacobs stores so you have to know what your doing to get one. Ahh, I can sleep soundly again.
For your viewing enjoyment (it's the first bag)
