11.13 // Socialist plots through the ages

Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaa….

(Haven’t posted in days, sorry… I meant to do a veteran’s day thing, I’ll do that later… between running, school, and NaNoWriMo – I have over 20,000 words now! - I have virtually no time.)

11.06 // street style

Just a quick fix for some street shots I’ve seen lately… short post, as I didn’t write yesterday and have to make up for it (which means I’m writing at least 3400 words today… which means I need to start… now).

clothes horse. Love that skirt – I’ve been kicking myself for months for not getting it  :\

stylish wanderer.

I am so, so, so tired. Going to bed no earlier than 11:30 for a week straight is not strictly beneficial… in any way… especially when you spend it looking at style blogs instead of studying for the chem test you definitely did not ace on Friday, second hour…  :(

Bon weekend!

Clocking in at a towering (and stunning) 6-foot-nine, Mette - from Denmark – is a relative newbie, but I see her going far. Just on a whim.

11.04 // zanzibar!

I’ve had Zanzibar (Billy Joel) on replay for two days… it’s irresistibly catchy and good… That’s the trouble with so much modern music: it just doesn’t require much technical skill, particularly in reference to guitar and voice, though guitar more so. But I digress (which is actually an inappropriate use of the word ‘digress,’ but whatever. My thumb hurts).

taghrid. Seems sort of frenchy ballerina-esque… I love the silhouette of the [suede vint] skirt with the bodysuit.

stylesightings. Loving the cloak and bag… I’ve been playing around with the idea of capes and cloaks and whatnot for fall and winter… I need to make some happen.

the sart. Love the grey heels and that style of coat – though I’m fairly sure I’d look really weird in one, green, grey, or otherwise.

By Stephamie. Something about this photo just makes me like it – I think it’s the background (blue and green and teal and metallic) against the fallish colors…

That was a string of randomness. J’apologise, mais, ques-ce que je peux faire? Je n’ai pas trop des heures et j’ai beaucoup des choses pour faire…

11.02 // Discovery: @fakeAPstylebook

Stumbled upon this little gem of English geekdom (sort of) in my late night internet gallavanting…

@fakeAPstylebook

It’s a satire of @APstylebook, a twitter feed offering [hypothetically] helpful tips for journalism and such. Apparently newspersons everywhere have found this not so much insightful as mockable.

Latest tweet:

“It is poor newsroom etiquette to throw yourself out of the window to prove that your co-worker is Superman.”

Give it a look.

PS: See also twitterature, a 160-character parody of classic literature through the ages. Ah, how far technology has taken uf.

PPS: I’m off to work on my NaNoWriMo project… yes, it’s late, and yes, I have 1700 words to write tonight (keeping to a schedule, hopefully…) It’ll be a late one.

10.30 // 3 xkcd finds…

WARNING: xkcd is extremely addictive. One click* and you’ll be sucked into a vortex of geeky humor for hours…

"Hey megan, it's your father. How do you print out a flowchart?"

'My biology grad student friend tells me that different types of alcohol don't actually have different effects. I trust their expertise, not because of the 'biology' part, but because of the 'grad student.'

'"This space intentionally left blank" is less immediately provocative but more Hofstadterially confusing.'

*click: originally, I typed lick. Totally alters the sentence.

10.30 // if I only had the words to tell you…

So I finally, finally ran what I should run during a race – 23:21. Actually still a little slower than I’d hoped, but hey, it’s a 40-second PR and I’ll take it. The weather: warmer than expected (low 60s), but doused with the usual rain and wind. Great race  :)

And now a flow of fashion…
