Birthday Memories

It was a week and a half ago, but I'm finally posting what I did on my birthday. Basically it was filled with food and drinks and some karaoke, but overall I had a great birthday. What better way to capture it than with Instagram.

1st row (L to R): Two big binders filled with song choices. I ended up singing Adele's "Rumor Has It" and I did an ok job; Calmed my karaoke nerves with some rum and coke and later on with some Blue Moon; After karaoke I took advantage of my free Grand Slam meal at Denny's with my brother.
2nd row: Went to my favorite local resturant, The Public House, for lunch; Paired my salad with this beer. I forgot what it was called, but it was good; Captain America Pez from my friend.
3rd row: Tried L.A. water at Dave and Busters and it was pretty good; Birthday dessert!; My favorite game.

Tomorrow I'm going to L.A. in the morning for my friends Bridal Shower, I'm a bridesmaid in her wedding, and hopefully later in the day I can squeeze in a screening of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. I've been wanting to see it and I can't bear to wait another month for it to finally show where I live.

What are your weekend plans?

Birthday Music Countdown: 2012

This is the number one song this week and honestly I have yet to get tired of it. I think it's because it's such a simple song, with not a lot of bells and whistles to it. Plus it has the universal theme of a broken down relationship that everyone can relate to in their lives.

There you have it, all 30 #1 Billboard songs from each year. It was a lot of fun finding out what songs where number one because they can take you back to a specific date and time when you heard it. A lot of the songs I posted, I still get a kick out of listening every now and then.

Now it's going to be interesting what the #1 song will be in the next 10 years. 

Birthday Music Countdown: 2011

Can't believe that this is the second to last number one that I'll be posting. The funny thing about this song is that she sings "I'll lay your ship bear" but her pronunciation makes it sound like she's saying the other s word. So I think it's the first time a non-cuss word gets bleeped out in a song. :P
