I heard this song at the fabulous new vintage store in Westwood. (On Westwood Blvd., near Sandbag’s and Peet’s Coffee.) I don’t even know what the store is called because I walked by and was so excited and walked into the store right away. There was a fair mix of old and new stuff. Everything in the store was $3.99. I was elated. Like, seriously. I was sad because I only had 30 minutes left for lunch and I had so many things to try on. I got a great wool jacket, a few shirts, new bathroom hand towels, a tie for Josh, a few belts, suspenders, a fedora, a ski vest and a cute coin purse with a monkey on it. And that was only in 30 minutes. I can’t imagine how much more stuff I would’ve gotten (and more money I would’ve spent) if I had more time. It’s going to be a fun and dangerous store for me because I can see myself going there a lot. I ran into Severino there (who is probably the most frequent person that I run into on a random basis) with his coworker. Lisa called me while I was there and she met up with me. Then, I literally ran into someone in the store and she looked so familiar to me. It turns out that we went to junior high together. It was Laura (who is probably the most frequent person that I randomly run into from my childhood) and she went to Central Catholic high school instead of my school. I keep on running into her throughout my life. The last time was 5 years ago back in Modesto and throughout high school. She is going to UCLA and lives in Westwood. I am so thrilled about this chance encounter and I hope that we can hang out in the near future. This new store is already bringing people together. I hope that it will stay there forever.
