Music MONDAY
Haven't done a proper one of these in a while but lately I cant stop listening to Archy (my old best friends name!) Marshall aka King Krule, formally known as Zoo Kid.
He's already got the people talking, but mostly because he's at the tender age or seventeen. Sweet, huh? I bet the questions get annoying after hearing the age bullshit over and over again...why doesn't anyone talk about his hair, he's a ginger you know? But more importantly he's extremely talented!
I haven't really got the chance to listen to the EP on loop yet but lately I have been carelessly killing the shit out of my cell phone battery on Youtube listening to The Noose of Jah City, Ocean Bed, and Out Getting Ribs, you should too!
If you haven't listened to anyZoo Ki-King Krule, get on it! It's not only shocking to hear someone "so young" kill but his baritone voice alone is so...pleasant yet almost haunting.
He played NY earlier this month, 21+, *sneezeBULLSHITsneeze*

I Want To Throw Up
This is what I ate over the semester break. Yes, I ate like a queen. I also gained weight. Seriously though, looking at this makes me sick.

Drawing man
On my way home from some show I got to watch and enjoy an adorable man drawing on the NQR platform on 14th street. We made contact for a few seconds, then this happened...
Even though the drawing kind of makes me look like that chick from Teen Mom, I like it. It's fun, simple, one of the very few pictures I have with my best friend, Cindy, on the left - just in case you couldnt tell, and to be fair I was moving a whole lot. I wish he signed it!

Top 5:
So my job experience consists of the most random jobs, jobs I won't mention...unless you ask, of course, but retail was never on that list until about a month ago.
Most of us work retail and I bet most of us hate it too. If you love retail, please explain to me one thing? HOW THE FU-Actually, I think I might get it a little bit (the minimal amount we are capable of understanding).
Sure, most of my coworkers are really nice, it's like we're forced to make new friends - which I'm in dire need of, so no complaints here. And sure, I get to personally witness the most corky people I've ever came across, they have absolutely no shame, and it's the way I like it, but being anywhere in retail for 12-40+ hours a week is kind of like a Lady Gaga song. Repetitive and a-a-a-nnoying a-a-annoying.
We're constantly have to hear the same terms and there's no getting away from them because, well, they're key terms that basically makeup everything the job entails. So here:
From Me To You - Top 5: Sentences you'll absoultuley hate after working in "(fashion) retail", (a term I use verrrry loosely):
1)Go backs (racks) - "Are there any go-backs?"
If you haven't worked for retail, a .go back" is simply a rack of clothes customer tried on in fitting room, that they usually had no intention to buy, that weren't purchased. By the end of the night there can be up to 4+ racks to put back. Definitely more frustrating than I ever could imagine. You'll here this word over 100 times during a six hour shift.
2) Greeting - "Hi, how are you!?"
I'm good, you?"...but what you're really thinking is - "Fuck off, you asked me how I was feeling about two seconds ago you piece of shit".
I honestly enjoy greeting because maybe 4 times out of 10 the person is really kind and I get a good conversation out of it.
3) Detailing - "Are you guys all detailing?!"
Detailing is making sure every thing in in size order, in a certain color scheme, organized by sleeve length and sorted by material. Sounds easy, right? You're wrong! Don't forget all straps and tags are tucked in, hangers are all leveled, buttons are buttoned, zippers are zippered and anything else that sounds completely anal. Detail. Detail. DETAIL.
4)"Where are your _____, I saw them here last week? *rolls eyes*"
I get it, you want that last size 4 but it's gone and theres nothing I can do about it. I'll truly help you as much as can but realize that retailers setup usually changes every 4-6 weeks and items are moved around the store daily, I'm trying me best here, lady!
5)Availability - "Are you closing?"
I think it's safe to say that 90% of conversations start with something pertaining to time.
Annoying sentence in retail number 5.
All in all, I've come to conclusion that my lack of interest in "fashion retail" is reason why these things slightly bug me...if I worked at a record shop however....
By the way, I means this in the most light hearted way possible - don't be offended, okay? I'm in no way complaining, I find this funny and so should you! I'm also being slightly dramatic.
Agree/disagree? Got any retail terms/sentences you hate? Habits daily customers do that annoy you? Anything? Post them down below!

I'm back, snitches?
Blogger! How's life treating you!? Good? GREAT! As for my 5 readers, how are you, guys? I'm excited to actually start posting again - I've been super busy with school, and work. Well, not really school...let's just say I've recently came to the realization that I just have to learn how to manage my time better. This time instead of writing a bunch of stuff and not posting here I'm just going to do the exact opposite and...post..it..
Instead of spending hours catching up to all my YouTube subscriptions and tumbles? Tums? Tumblrs? I'm going to start contributing to the community! Nerding out over everything! I treated myself to a camera and now all I have to do is wait for my MacBook to come in and I'm set.
Subscribe to my YouTube account now - SashaLame...I'll be posting everything from vlogs, tutorials, hauls, skits, reviews, and even some covers! Kidding. I'm tone deaf. But anyway, I'm so stoked, I really can't wait!
