Am I using that right? Playa? You get that I mean I’m not a beach, right?
I got a package (a big package) from Akomplice Clothing today that had four tees in it, and… a hip flask!
I have no idea what I’ll use a hip flask for since I don’t like whiskey (and putting lychee liqueur in seems a bit wrong), perhaps I’ll put juice in there to be post-modern. Still, how cool of a gift is that? Thanks Akomplice!

I know if sounds like an infomercial, but the Wonderfold really has changed the way I think about storing my t-shirt collection, something which I think about more than anyone else I know, and probably more than anyone else should.
The colours in this photo are all wrong because my camera seems to have become confused by the yellow light in my room (the lampshade is a yellow oversized lightbulb), my collection doesn’t include lots of pink tees. On the left stack there was 26 tees, and 28 on the right.

I was trying to find a photo to use (with ‘blog this’ as an option) and my search term was ‘huzzah’ and one of the most interesting huzzah tagged images on Flickr is of Philly, it’s fate!
I’ve just got off the webcam (first time I’ve ever used a webcam) with my visa application supervisor, and whilst it wasn’t really a test I had to pass, I think I did pretty well, my supervisor seemed very nice and explained everything to me. It was nice to put a face and voice to the person that I’ve e-mailed about 20-30 times over the past few months.
Not many more hoops to jump through now (just the big one down in London) before I can go and check out this view for real. Well, not this view specifically, that would require me renting an apartment that someone probably already lives in.

That picture sums up my expression at the moment… though it does lack a heaped tablespoon full of exasperation.
My ad serving software has gone kablamo, leaving it not serving ads, and therefore not earning me any money.
I’ve managed to get the images back on the site after about 5 hours of button bashing, but not in a way that I’m able to charge my advertisers for.
HYA officially comes back from it’s two week break tomorrow, which means that there will be much more traffic than usual coming in, and instead of writing articles, which I enjoy, I’m going to have to spend my day learning about advertising software… boo!

I watched Jutice’s Tour DVD (Across the Universe) yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the way that they didn’t try to make everything seem like it was some wacky and fun adventure had by the guys, and that things did go wrong (guns? on tour? great idea!), which made it seem a lot more honest than a lot of tour DVDs.
And now I’m listening to the accompanying live CD, which is pretty incredible on its first listen, I just wish there was no one else in the house so that I could listen to it louder!

In what is surely a sign of my obsession with t-shirts going too far, one of the things I was excited to get for Christmas was a Wonderfold… which I bought off eBay and claimed was ‘a present for the whole family.’
The Wonderfold is basically a piece of plastic that folds at certain points to give you a well-folded tee, meaning that I can just stack up my tees rather than having to force them onto the already overstuffed racks in my room.
