Thursday, never looking back

Cute story:

Jacob my host dad decided that tonight I would make "American food" for supper, so we went to the grocery store to get some dinner fixin's and dragged Jonathan along. J looked really cute today in his skinny jeans, silicone bracelets and hoodrat trucker cap. We had fun at the supermarket which, for some reason that I cannot understand, sells bicycles, cell phones and other random crap in addition to groceries.

On the way back from the store, we were listening to the radio. A song caught some recessive part of my memory and I started humming along, "all along the eastern shore... nahnahnahnahnahnahnahhh" What was this electropop trash? Why do I know this random 80s song?

Because it was "Electric Feel" by MGMT.
On the radio.
In Denmark.
OMGOMGOMG.

For those terribly out of the loop, MGMT is an up-and-coming band whose members graduated from Wesleyan a couple of years ago. All of us cardinals are terribly proud of them.

The next song is also a favorite of mine, "Friday I'm in Love" by the Cure. (I always associate it with passing my driver's test, haha) I was singing along quietly in the front seat, when I heard an echo from the back.

It was Jonathan.

He was using the song to practice the names of the days of the week in English! I corrected his chronology ("Thursday... Friday... Saturday, not Wednesday!"). And he taught me the song in Danish:

I don't care if Mandag's blue
Tirsdag's gray and Onsdag too
Torsdag I don't care about you
Its Fredag - I'm in love!
