life update
I moved into the new apartment over the weekend.
I am now officially living in San Francisco. I got super super sick Sunday night. The flu hit me hard. Monday I was home sick. Tuesday I attempted work but had to come home early. Wednesday, home sick, bed ridden.
So lesson learned: do NOT get the flu. I havent thrown up like this since I was a child.
I’m overwhelmed because I do not have my car any longer. Now I have to depend solely on public transportation. I looked at a vespa but thats like 4 grand. Id rather not spend that so next up could possibly be one of those Linus bikes.
Anyways.
I’m homesick and lonely but my roomate seems super dope.
the end.
Bradley Cooper may be, according to People mag, the Sexiest Man Alive, but CLEARLY, Ryan Gosling should have won.

“I think the dubstep that has come over to the US, and certain producers — who I can’t even be bothered naming — have definitely hit upon a sort of frat-boy market where there’s this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel. And to me, that is a million miles away from where dubstep started. It’s a million miles away from the ethos of it. It’s been influenced so much by electro and rave, into who can make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound, almost like a pissing competition, and that’s not really necessary. And I just think that largely that is not going to appeal to women. I find that whole side of things to be pretty frustrating, because that is a direct misrepresentation of the sound as far as I’m concerned.”

makeshift project
if this doesn’t inspire you I dont know what will.
http://makeshiftproject.blogspot.com/
MakeShift is an art and research project that examines the relationships between ‘making’, ‘clothing’ and ‘living’. The basic premise for the project is that for a period of one year starting on September 1st, 2009, I will only wear things that I have made myself. Initially this may seem like a reasonable task, but it will include all of my clothes, socks, shoes, underwear, coats, jackets, hats, bathing suits, accessories and anything else I might need to protect my body from the elements while trying to lead a fulfilling life.
Beyond being a nail-hammering, speed-sewing, room-pacing, hair-raising, life-enriching personal challenge, I hope to gain some understanding of the limitations of clothing and how they affect the development of ideology. Ultimately, I would like to examine the role of clothing as a form of cultural production.
I hope you will participate by leaving comments on this blog or stopping by the space for a visit. Makeshift is meant to be an exploration of ideas so the conversation that develops will become an important part of how the project unfolds.
