I think I’ve spoken too much about what I bought and possible purchases so I’ll speak about my thrilling travels around town.
Visits to West Quay are a norm for me but today had a little exciting surprise in the form of a singer who was singing some random songs – of which I didn’t catch because I had my iPod on. She did have a good voice, I think it was for a children’s charity. She did seem to attract quite a bit of attention, but I’m also guessing that there was attention that was also directed towards the trampolines!
Apart from that, it seemed like it was the same old Southampton.
As I got to Town Quay I started to find something quite amusing. After observing people walking in front of me/past me/etc., I began to notice the “swinging arm” phenomena when people walked. I know everyone does it but I’ve never really stopped and thought about it. It only seems to be stopped if you were carrying something but it’ll have to have been heavy because people would still swing the bag. I think putting hands in pockets or holding something with both hands does stop it. The even more amusing thing is that hold hands with someone doesn’t stop it – especially if the free arm is occupied with holding a bag and then you’ll find the couple both swinging their arms around. I initially thought this was only really present in younger adults but obviously it happens to everyone!
I know that was a little random observation, but funnily enough it seems that there had been some research published on this phenomena that was reported 2 days ago on Reuters! Click Me
Another observation (to which I am not oblivious to) is the fact people are not what you expect from seeing their backs. It just seemed to have happened more frequently today. For example, I thought this little girl wearing a hat was in front of me in the paying queue when it was actually a quite old woman with her child…! I then thought there was a woman in front of me but it was a man (and vice versa… seriously). So that was pretty weird today!
As I mentioned I had my iPod today and as I listened to my August 2009 playlist I developed bigger “loves” for some songs which include (in no order):
- Manos al Aire – Nelly Furtado
- Loba/She Wolf – Shakira
- Beautiful Night – Beverley Knight
- Never Leave You – Tinchy Stryder (feat. Amelle)
- Bulletproof - La Roux
- New In Town – Little Boots
- Left My Heart in Tokyo – Mini Viva
- Say It – Booty Luv
- Gold Digger - Dolly Rockers
- Knock You Down – Keri Hilson (feat. Kanye & Ne-Yo)
- Sweet Dreams – Beyoncé
- Party In The USA – Miley Cyrus
- Get Sexy – Sugababes
- Work – The Saturdays
- Radar – Britney Spears
And talking of Britney (& also finally) something which made me chuckle was this photo:
Lol-a-rama (poor Brit)
Poor Brit, someone in the Photoshop department at Candies NEEDS to be FIRED! Also do you notice her shoes in her bag are still attached to some legs…??? Weird.
Oh, as I’m putting Michael Jackson albums in a hierarchy I thought I’d do my Britney ones…
- Britney
- Blackout
- Circus
- In the Zone
- Oops!…I Did It Again
- …Baby One More Time
(Note: Tracks from Someday (I Will Understand) – EP would feature between Oops! & …BOMT, New tracks from Greatest Hits: My Prerogative would be around Circus & ITZ, whilst the B In the Mix track “And then We Kiss” would be ITZ standard).
