This Week's Top Five: 10/30/11

 Hello, hello!

 Welcome to the first-ever Top Five! All week, I've scavenged the Internet and beyond to find my top five favorite things. It's pretty hard to narrow it down! In no order, here they are... (Drumroll, please.)

•    Mylo Xyloto by Coldplay

                 

As long-time Coldplay fan, I'm so freaking thrilled about its release. After ridiculous amounts of negotiating, my mom finally agreed the Deluxe edition would be a Christmas present. Thank goodness.

•  Puss in Boots

Ahhh! As a major cat person, seeing this movie was kind of a priority...

•  Chuck's Season Premiere

I really, really don't want it to end...

•  GetGlue

Dude, if you know two things about me, it's that I love stickers and dinosaurs. However, if you know three things about me, you know I love stickers, dinosaurs, and television. That's why Get Glue is probably the coolest thing since surprised kittens. ...You can thank me later.

•  Horror Movies

 

(Whilst looking for an image of this, I, naturally, stumbled upon the chick's terrifying face, and realized it's the same face that's after the iconic scary maze!)

Years ago, Psycho began a life-long tradition of wetting myself every Halloween weekend. Okay, not really, but classic horror movies get me everytime.

   Alrighty then! This concludes this week's Top Five, hope you enjoyed!

  What are your five favorite things you found this week?

Hey there.
  (In case you’ve never heard of this thing called the past, that little coo coo rhyme is a lyric from the Beatles.)
   Allllllrighty then! <—As you just read, I’ve been watching Ace Ventura lately. That rhino scene will change your life. Anyway, I recently got some mail. Hoorah! It’s my Doc Martens all the way from Europe.

  
     No heel, no bulkiness = perfection only Doc himself can achieve.

  They’re called Shoreditch/Eclectic Leather (holla!) Dr. Martens. I had to import them due to the lack of awesomeness(/leatherness) that U.S. online stores have available. I ordered them from KBK Shoes. These guys were on sale, alas, shipping wasn’t cheap(shipped next day without special payment; took around six weekdays to arrive). Since U.K. sizes are different, I ordered a size 4(I’m regularly a 6 – 6 1/2). If I’m wearing socks(I usually am…) and the laces are tied, they fit nicely. Oh, I also definitely suggest buying leather–it’s five dollars more expensive, but leather lasts longer and all your mud-n’-diseases from everyday adventures wipe off a whole lot easier. I won’t do a review, since I’m so biased about these.
  Moving on, there’s not much new I have to say. I haven’t been doing much shopping, so no item reviews. I haven’t had many free days, so no blog-worthy adventures. Due to this coolness-lacking, I’ll share with you some recent discoveries of things that I’m currently digging.

•   The word deck. It’s rad-person speak for cool(“Dude, that’s totally deck!”).
• The band Mumford & Sons. It sounds like some furniture company from the South. However, it’s the coolest rock-folk-alternative band on the circuit right now. (Download “The Cave” and, if you’re looking for folkier, download “Winter Winds“.)
• The TV show Chuck. Um, adorably kickass.
• The book Red Riding Hood. Sounds totally lame, but if you want to see the movie, check it out. What intrigues me? The book was based on the screenplay, not vice versa. Or, if you can’t wait till the movie, read the last page–everything you need to know, right there. (:
• The prehistoric Brontosaurus. What’s not to love?

   To makeup for my extreme lack of posts last week, I’ll try to post in a day or two. Alrighty, then.
