deja vu, beyonce and jay-z

 this week on the way to work i heard a catchy song on the radio. found out it was 'deja vu' by beyonce and jay-z. what was memorable was hearing 'houston' being spelled out. the video was found on youtube, and in it beyonce changes outfits and scenes a lot. sometimes indoors, and when outdoors she could be in the tall grass or next to a body of water. i liked mention of the 808 drum early on, and shortly after 'houston' another city is name-checked- chicago. the song is about a woman being constantly reminded of a past lover. it is sexually suggestive at times in the video, and even the lyrics include 'your sexiness is so appealing, i can't let it go'. there is even a reference to juan pierre, a baseball player. it sounds fine, but the chorus parts seem to be repeated too often. i've heard jay-z songs more than beyonce songs, but i would say there are jay-z songs i like more than this one. 

at work there was a small volume envelope delivery. wasn't expecting anything but was told it finishes the order from earlier this month. there was a lecture in the afternoon, first thing after getting back from lunch. it was about communicating with executives. there were a few helpful points in it, such as don't try too hard to be funny. makes it harder to be taken seriously. in the evening i went on a walk and found 1 dollar 6 cents. so now i have enough for a bag of chips from the vending machine at work. the 'big bang theory' reruns were about the friends wanting to get comic-con tickets, but raj's finances were being managed by sheldon and he advised against buying tickets. it was followed by the one where a neighbor moves in and is a rival to penny. howard restrains leonard as howard doesn't want anyone to stop the cat-fight. after the reruns were done i had a craving for some cheese and got some, along with a small drinkable bottle of yogurt.
