Today is an exciting day, as my blog officially has a customized layout :D. The content of the header should be pretty self-explanatory, with the possible exception of the photo on the top right corner. It's a picture of me on Halloween in Woodstock, New York circa '91 or '92. The sour expression on my face is the product of my mom's insistence that I wear a jacket over my costume. Ugh! I guess I learned the hard way that fashion always has to be functional, even if you're 4 years old and wearing a homemade witch outfit.
Être débrouillard
On a somewhat unrelated note, I wanted to point out how cool I think it is that innovation can sometimes arise from a lack of resources. For example, I didn't have access to a working scanner (and to be completely honest, was too lazy to look for one...), so I taped images to my wall, photographed them with my nearly-broken point and shoot, and then retouched them on iPhoto -- a quick 20 minute fix for a generic Blogger page. As a less-than-wealthy college student, I'm constantly trying to think of new ways to recycle things I already own, repurpose everyday objects, and spend as little as possible to save up for the finer things in life...
... like Jimmy Choos! (Speaking of which, I just found out that the makers of Hunter Wellies collaborated with Jimmy Choo last Spring. I'm a little late, but I want these boots!)
I've never been so good at shaking hands
On a completely unrelated note, the Strokes's Julian Casablancas recently released a solo album called The 11th Dimension.
I've been listening to it a lot lately while studying for my last pre-final exams, and I predict that the single (also called "11th Dimension") will make it to my Top 25 Most Played list by the end of the month.
