I swear I'm not gone

I wore this the day of my birthday.  Feel free
to rip it apart in the comments.

I know it's been a while since I've posted... you know... actual content.  But (as you might have garnered) I was sick for a while, then swamped with work for a while after that.  Later this week I promise, actual writing and  me wearing a tux for my birthday.

fuck you winter

YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE!

March 18th

April 1st

Me, unhappy.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PICTURES?!?!?!

I'm not gone.

Sorry for the lack of posts last week, (and this week).

Here's what I've been up to.

Yay! Friends from college!  Vacation!
Whoo! Party!

Oh man!  Video games are so much fun.  Good thing I have
all of vacation to finish my work!

A hipster party?  Don't mind if I do.  Ironically adopting the
persona of a subculture you vilify isn't hipsterish at all!
Right?

Oh jesus christ... I want to die...
wait... a loogie isn't supposed to be that color.

I... I just can't compute the skewness of
male/female managers salaries...

Regional Economic development?
Tuesday?
Why no, I haven't started... that's bad
isn't it?

I'll be back.  Hopefully by then my body won't be just a horrible ball of disgusting mucus.

Sweat Pants and Dressing more like yourself. A (pseudo) manifesto.

Let’s talk about sweat pants shall we.  Lots of ink (cyber-ink at least) has been spilled about they’re ruining modern society and nobody cares about how they look anymore.  I agree with most of this, sort of.  Here’s the thing though, I don’t like sweatpants for a different reason.  Most of what I’ve read bemoans the fact that the art of getting dressed has been lost but I disagree, I think what’s been lost is any sense of personal expression.  I’m more offended by the content than the form (but I am offended by the form).  So now it’s time to say my piece I feel like my main thoughts about personal style have not really been articulated, and I endeavor to do that here.

One day late: The Weekly Roundup

St. Patrick's Day

Good week.  St Patrick's Day Thursday.  Dance Party Friday.  Weekly roundup... RIGHT NOW.

Tom Waits Is Basically Edward Cullen, and Other Things We Learned at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction -- Vulture

Tom Waits is more awesome than words can describe.

-->And, gee, I don't know where to begin. Songs, uh, are really just interesting things to be doing with the air. I love working with tunes. I love music, but we really want music to love us.

I mean COME ON!

The Sartorialist: UPDATE - Before Winter Is Over, Try Tweed & Denim

Done and done. (And I mean done.)

Spring Trends for Men 2011 - Spring Fashion 2011 Men - Esquire

-->Five new looks she'll love -- risky sure, but worth embracing if you execute them well enough to turn her on.


Well I hated ALL of these, so I showed them to Ashley who hated ALL of them too (probably more than me).  So... not so well played Esquire.  Not so well played.

The Dominance Of The Carrot-Fit Trousers « Antenna Magazine

-->Gordon Richardson, design director for Topman, summed up the trend’s popularity: “Carrot fits are the natural successor to the skinny fit that has been dominating the past few seasons. Originating in denim, the shape moves effortlessly into chinos. Its versatility as a silhouette means that it can take utility details and simple wash effects well.”


It's funny, my biggest problem with super tapered pants up 'til now has been, "It looks like you've got carrot legs, it just doesn't look right!"  So... apparently I was right... or... wrong?  I don't even know anymore.

St. Patrick driving the awesome into some green ties.

Happy St. Patty's day!  Hope you're still sober enough to read my quick rundown of all green outfits after the jump...

Job fairs: apparently only useful if you want a job in sales or insurance (selling insurance mainly)

I am SO EXCITED to be going to a job fair.

I'm looking all sharp, gonna knock 'em DEAD!

Hey... wait... this is all insurance companies, that's just a school club over there, can they really have the army, army reserve and 2 police booths at a job fair?  Suppose this isn't for me.

oh well! guess I'll just keep taking out student loans.
