Seafood Friday 2018 - Week 5: Trader Joe's Linguine with Clam Sauce + Purple Adidas!

Frozen dinner...

ready within minutes...

A pair of Vans

Last week TC and I went shoe shopping...

I was the one who ended up with shoes that day at an old school favirite brand of shoes that I grew up wearing...

A motley assortment of pix...

Somewere in Costa Mesa...

This donut place also sold "the best sandwiches in the world"....really?

I like taking photos when I'm not driving. In this case, Cathy was driving...

Purple and rust

Every springtime in San Diego, the jacaranda blossoms start to bloom...

heralding the end of Spring and the beginning of summer...

Random photos here and there

This is another post with one off photos. The kind where I only take a few and it's not really enough for a full post. Either that or I've forgotten about them until now.

Every weekend there's always a different group selling food after mass. Sometimes there's donuts or Mexican pan dulces. This time, it was Filipino food. I like the backwards dollar sign there!

With the weather getting warmer, that means it's time to wear open toes shoes again...

Record Store Day outfit

Before going back to the Record Store Day crawl posts, I thought I'd throw in a random outfit post...

In honor of record store day, I wore my aluminum 45 adapter necklace which I thought rather fitting. In fact I got compliments on the necklace while Cy got compliments on her yellow 45 adaptor earrings that day...

I wanted to be comfortable so...

Record Store Day Crawl - Return to Donut Bar

Record Store Day was two weekends ago and it's high time I finally posted on my adventure that day....

The Record Store Day Crawl (both records AND food) was shared with fellow music lover (she's hard core!) and fashion blogger, Cy of any2ndnow.

I couldn't help but think of a couple of movies that had scenes set in a record store. The first one was from the John Hughe's classic "Pretty in Pink" (released in 1986 and the first "date" movie for me and Bert while we were wee young 'uns back in high school). The movie featured a pre-"Designing Women" Annie Potts as Iona, the fashionably chameleonesque owner of TRAX, a new wave record store, frequented by Andy (Molly Ringwald) and Duckie (her best guy friend who "likes her" but whom I felt was obviously gay but still in the closet).

One of the funniest scenes involving a record store:

Even though I am not a fan of  Otis Redding's, "Try a Little Tenderness", the Duckman did killeth the song whilst prancing about in his super cool creeper shoes and thrift store garb!

Non-music lovers right about now have probably clicked the "read more" button because the post title refers to "donuts" and were either not interested in hearing about records (SACRILEGE!), Jack Black, Duckie's sartorial choices and my nostalgic interest in vinyl, or were very impatient to read about some damn donuts.  Ha ha. But moving right along...

Get on your boots...

Even though I don't listen to her music and generally think of her as an annoying airhead celebrity (remember her reality show with her ex Nick Lachey?)...

I have to say that I like some of the styles of Jessica Simpson's shoe collection, notably the boots...

A whisper to a scream...

"What...is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

(image from etsy.com)

"What do you mean? An African or European Swallow?"

Quotes are from the "Bridge of Death" scene in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in which almost every scene is quotable!

I could have used another "swallow" reference from "Austin Powers the Spy Who Shagged Me", but...

And your bird can sing...

Yes, it's time to...

PUT A BIRD ON IT!

The Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes

So, what's black and white...

and red all over?

Not your typical Mom's shoes...

One of my friends had a sexy ass pair of sky high platform peeptoe wedges that she got recently at Kohl's. Now Kohl's is normally not a store I shop at, but when she told me she saw some heels with spikes on them, I just had to see for myself.

Of course, being the shoe whore fanatic that I am, I had to have them...

Business in the front...

The new silhouette - Platform chunky wedges!

It's been awhile since my last confession shoe post!

I'm in lust with the new look for this season...

Foot to Ass boots...

Aah, unworn treads...

I got these boots for our upcoming Portland trip. Yes, lazyass me will actually do physical activity such as, gasp, hiking!

Silver Studded Boots...

Well yee-haw...

It's time for a bitch kickin' boot post!

New Boots!

Ooh, it's been awhile since I did a boot or shoe post...

One last pair of boots before I become a shoe hermit...I'm thinking of getting Invisalign and I will need to cut back on something and it sure as hell won't be FOOD!

Vans

It's been awhile since I did a shoe post!

(Yikes, my left pant leg is messed up! And yes, those purple socks are an ode to Donny Osmond!)

This time instead of killer heels, it's killer Vans!

Dinner and a movie (OMFG, "TS: BD Part 1) with Astroboi

Earlier this evening Astroboi and I made it 4 for 4:

I guess you could say it's our little "tradition" to have a standing date to watch the Twilight Saga flicks (1st movie in '08, 2nd in '09, 3rd in '10)...

Color Blocked...

This is another pair I found on Amazon...

They are color blocked peeptoe wedges that are quite futuristic looking...

Scarf and boot weather again...

A few days ago, I put away most of my summery type clothes and took out my boots and sweaters again. Even though we do live in mostly "sunny" San Diego, it does rain once in a while. Flip flops just don't cut it during those cold rainy days. Oh yeah, and it also does go below 70 once in a while as well.

Can you tell that TC and I both like purple?
