happy x'mas + merry new years

stumbled upon this somewhere and it feels like christmas of 1993,

he is probably the most familiar santa claus to anyone under 50 cause he is 58 years old! can you believe that? (this ad first came out in 1950! santas come and go but he's still around..)

merry x'mas.

AR-CONC tees

archinect's newest t-shirts. no need to explain. either you get it or you don't (you're in or you're not).

i love architecture tee's, they're quite witty. let me get a hold of the ones from bths and susoa, i will post up photos.

Jay Chou + loves

jay chou is so good even dan was cheering and stomping with me.

thank you,

this is like a photoshoot with the black umbrella girl. hah. she's hiding cause our pitchers of sangria did her good.

shitty weather can't stop us.

6°F

it's brick out in nyc. be careful if you're driving, the road is icy + dangerous! I am just so bad with vehicles this year, this is what happened yesterday after the jay chou concert (post later):

the road outside mohegan sun was so icy that it was almost like.. bumper cars, seriously. most cars were sliding and not getting anywhere. the bus that i was on got so smoky inside because of the friction between the tires and the ice that travelled up through the vent. at one point, my bus slid sideways, and blocked all three lanes and one of the back wheel fell off road. one limo also slid and blocked the highway at one point, then the rear of another limo slid and was scratching up against the boulders. one car flipped over. two cars crashed at the turn. another bus and a large van just gave up and blocked traffic. for smaller cars, some people had to get out and push. this all happened within less than one mile of each other.

it was just crazy.

most memorable fashion moments in 2008

winter break for a poor college student aka moi means.. go back to work and recover that bank account. although i should be thankful for getting paid for sitting in a room to just pick up phone calls and surf the web, i want to kill myself already!
i am not a tech savvy person but for the past 9 hours i've been sitting in front of the monitor at work, i do have to admit, (1) i've fallen in love with google and all that it has to offer, and (2) i've learned more in a day surfing the internet and blogs than i would sitting in a class.

Of the millions things i've seen today, this is a good photo-read:
WWD looks back at some of 2008's most memorable fashion moments,

one of the 46 moments noted in 2008, above is the first designer branded carousel to grace the ground of a fashion runway, and i think it's friggin awesome.

and so is bryanboy.

and so is Diane von Furstenberg.

and so is the chanel mobile art exhibition.

loveits.

oh OH, i've been stumbling on alot of photoshop sites, they are so simple and useful! like faking a lomo photo and drawing an ice cream bar.

my goal this winter break is to be a self-taught photoshop expert!
