Bib mmm-bop.
I just finished a satisfying day of shopping. I bought an expensive tube of Olay Regenerist, which got me two 50 RMB-off coupons, and then I went up to the shoe/boot floor. I found some cool-looking, biker-esque boots I really loved, but I thought I really had no need for that type of thing. Nonetheless, I’ve wanted this type of boot since I saw bikers wearing them in London in 1995. Also, for the past few years whenever I shop, I wrestle with questions like, “Am I too old for that?” “Am I too young for that?” and, “What kind of clothes should I wear, anyway?” Plus, how do these clothes and accessories fit into my lifestyle, as a big nerd and university lecturer? Well, to make a long story short, I bought them. They cost more than 400 RMB, which was like 60% of the original price. So now I’m a nerd with cool boots again, just like I was in college.
To top off the day, I went to a really nice, high-end food court at the mall and had a bowl of bibim bop, a Korean rice pot dish. Whenever I eat it, it makes me think of that Hanson tune, “Mmmmm-bop,” not that I would ever voluntarily listen to that type of music!
