Full prompt: What song was stuck in your head recently, and what were you doing at the time that made you think of it?

I have different songs stuck in my head all the time. In the past two weeks I've had Rocket Man in there a lot. I know the first time recently it got stuck in there was two weeks ago at my Tuesday morning (6am) bootcamp. We were doing sprints up the hill that overlooks the lake (the hill is sandy and it is not fun) and suddenly the song burst into my head. I then proceeded to spend all day at work singing it. Because work is terrible and we need tiny bursts of joy at times, and Elton John brings that joy.

Also yesterday I know I had Seven Devils in my head. Because Game of Thrones, obviously. Every Sunday that song gets in my head in anticipation of the week's episode. Plus that song is awesome and makes me want to go to war and fuck some shit up. There's a Game of Thrones/ Song of Ice and Fire display up at work that I pass by every time I sign in. And every time I pass it (which is at least 4 times a day) I get the intro theme song from Game of Thrones in my head. I think it and Dexter's are my favourite ever.

I suddenly realise these songs have as much in common as my love of both Game of Thrones and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Which, by the way, the season finale of the latter was last weekend, and it was FANTASTIC. Seriously, watch that shit. Also, yes, I still do recaps/reviews of GoT. So many links.

In more mundane news, I finally got new tennis shoes, which I needed at least a year ago. I guess you are supposed to need new shoes every 300-400 miles. Seeing as (for a while at least) I was running 3-5 miles a day, and that it would thus take only 100 days to need replacements, I probably actually needed them replaced by late fall of 2010. Anyway, I have a new pair now, which no doubt I will run in until they also lack cushioning and treads and also fabric covering my toes... Also I got an outfit for the various weddings I have to attend. I saved like $100 on a dress from Express, which I am pretty excited about. So, hurrah for shopping?

I work a lot this week. It's like revenge on my long weekend break. Of course, I squandered most of Saturday by being incredibly hungover, because I'm a classy broad.

Shit I forgot my life is boring.
