Finally feeling better and back to consciousness!

Something to think about from Coroflot about working in the city post-graduation

And my roomate just found this lovely photo,
yet another bit of inspiration for my 21st!
Add that to this and this! :D
Still a lil while to go though.

I have the flu.

There is nothing more that I would love to have right now than a cup of this.

more misc

I randomly came across this store on 8th st (btwn broadway & university) on a walk around the city yesterday... AC Gears

It is an awesome little store, they carry mostly Japanese electronics, electronic accessories, robots, toys, etc. They are even the Japanese models and packaging, not english versions of them. I thought it was cool cause they have the exact selection of headphones as electronic stores had in Tokyo when I went, so it's legit. Really it's a sweet store. Check it out. It was all I could do to not buy this...

I mean really! A robot USB! Ah, why does it have to be $40 for only 256MB.


(side note & speaking of robots: I had an interview yesterday, and there were like tons of cases of robots inside this design firm. I got really excited. I should've sent them a photo of my robot shelf. hah.)

Last but not least, The Decapitator.
I thought everyone knew about it, but I guess I just read too many design blogs.
I hope he comes to New York sometime. Love it.

'cause me pain hedi slimane'

Hedi Slimane's photo diary.

(I promise the photos of Pete Doherty are not the only reason I like it.)

I need to have

a Smörgåsbord party.



--------------------

Anyways, someday if I am rich (like ridiculously rich), and I cannot live in an original Le Corbusier,
one of these High Modern Homes would be pretty sweet.

I don't think I've ever mentioned these on here...

I was reminded of how nice looking these headphones are when a friend sent me a link w/ this photo with them in it.



I bought them in Tokyo hoping to be slightly original, but I have seen some people around the city with them. I also have gotten a few "those remind me of those huge headphones that I used in computer class in elementary school."Not quite sure if that is good or bad, but I love them.

They are officially called the Panasonic RP-HTX7 retro-style headphones.
I highly recommend them.
Mine are the lovely light blue/grey colour...

I wish it was summer.

I'm getting tired of the snow.


I am also tired of working on my website alllll day.


p.s. ffffound, pleaseee come out of private beta already!

NOTCOT.org just told me

There is a Cup Noodle Factory and Museum in Osaka.
You can make your own custom Cup Noodle flavor there.
I need to go back to Japan.



It would be worth the trip just to go to this Cup Noodle vending machine.

Contrary to popular belief...

life in suburban Cleveland can get a little slow at times. hah.
So, I think I might build this tomarrow...



Sorry for copying the idea, but it's just so cute.
Heres what the original creator had to say about it...

David Shrigley: "A few years ago I went to St Moritz in Switzerland. I decided to build a non-conformist snowman. When the art collector who owned the hotel saw it he became very excited that I had created an artwork in the grounds of his hotel. I had to explain that it was not an artwork - it was just a snowman. It’s an easy mistake to make"

I can't wait to see this movie tomarrow!
