Style

September 20, 2006

Tyrone BiggumsI love how Tyrone Biggums‘ fashion has gone into style.

Case in point: Urban Outfitters on 3rd Street, downstairs.

Not that I have anything against UO, I just happen to be a bit biased towards the independent companies (American Apparel for shirts, Threadless and Oddica for designs).

Amazing Things

August 16, 2006

My Oddica package which I recently blogged about arrived in the mail today (ordered Sunday, arrived Tuesday, amazing):

Blackbird Migraine

Ghost Cameras
Ghost Cameras

The poor quality of the pictures (of me, above) does not give justice to the amazing quality of the designs, but everything about them is astounding.

Second day of driving, it’s even easier today.

My music recommendation for today: Minus the Bear. Check out Highly Refined Pirates especially. Indie rock, pure and simple.

Bruin Woods ‘06

August 15, 2006

I had a great time last week with all my buddies that I see once a year for a week up in Lake Arrowhead.

Brian, Chelsea, Rachel, Riley, and I hangin’ out up in the treehouse at Bruin Woods in Lake Arrowhead.

Can’t wait to see you all next year (but hopefully sooner)!

In other news, it turns out I have four impacted wisdom teeth which require surgery under anesthesia to remove. This will happen Thursday (August 17, 2006) morning, so don’t expect much out of me for about 2-4 days afterwards.

I drove a car for the first time EVAR today. It was surprisingly easy… I’ll be having another lesson tomorrow morning, then another on Wednesday afternoon.

For anyone who has a mac and is a student:

Schoolhouse is possibly the most useful program for assignments I’ve ever laid eyes upon.

“With the ability to sort and organize your assignments, exams, and projects quickly and easily Schoolhouse is a must have for any student on-the-go. The power of smart groups allow you to interact with your work as simply as your iTunes library. Newly introduced in this version are Classcasts, the ability to publish your assignments to the web automatically for anyone to subscribe to. And with powerful automatic graphing of your grades and a GPA & Finals calculator you’ll never be in the dark at the end of the semester.”

It seems that this app can export assignments to iCal or even to an iPod. How sweet is that? And it’s free (although I’d gladly pay the developer for it).

To all you Windoze users out there… umm, well… good luck, I guess. I’m sure pen and paper will work fine to remember stuff. :)

My Sidekick 3 is working great; it has many much needed upgrades which the SK2 lacked (mainly the track ball and the size of the device, no longer does it have the dimensions of a bar of soap). My only complaint is that the battery becomes depleted after a very short amount of use compared to the SK2, but hopefully this will all be sorted out in the next OTA (Over-The-Air) update.

Check out Tapes ‘n Tapes, by the way. A link to a torrent of a music video of theirs is here. They’re awesome.

Just ordered a bag from Iron-on Resistance along with some shirts from Oddica, there’s a coupon right now for $7 off your order if you write in the code ‘tell’ so I figured I’d just go ahead and get Blackbird Migraine and Ghost Cameras printed on the ever so soft and communist American Apparel.

Still working on my summer work of second semester Honors World History (I’ve already finished second semester Honors World Literature) from 10th grade which I missed while in Italy and Japan. I have to finish this or they won’t let me into 12th grade. Damn Pali thinks I have a textbook delinquency too, so they won’t give me my schedule for next year (I turned in all my books for sure).

Oddica shirts arrive

May 26, 2006

Exploded Boombox
I received my three Oddica shirts in the mail today: Exploded Boombox (pictured), Octopus Incident, and The Undertaker. All of them are incredibly soft and printed with astounding detail and precision. Each shirt comes with stickers, postcards of the shirt designs, and large pins of the purchased t-shirt designs all in a re-sealing bag with more shirt designs on it.

I am extremely happy with the purchase as these are excellent t-shirts with artistic designs which will stand out among the plethora of t-shirts I own.

More pictures after the jump.
