someone is twenty.

I won't name names, but someone (not me) who writes for this blog was born twenty years ago today.

Happy birthday woman, live it up.

xoxoxo

ps.

this me singing Happy Birthday to you while you play along on your kazoo.

disco ball mouse.

number one Christmas Gift of 2k8: A light-up disco ball mouse. I mean I picked it out, but I seriously love it and am using it currently. It looks a little something like this:

thank u, Mom (you also rule for buying me the last two packs of polaroid film in Geneva).

In other news, I think you need this for your newly decorated room:

They're freaking awesome and look cool and are cool and I want you to have them. Unfortunately I've been saving them for a couple of days and now I can't find the link to the designer. Oh wait, I just did. Here.

I also think you might need these knife hooks:

you can get them here.

also, someday my prince charming will buy me this lamp:

I know this picture is really small, but click here and check it out. I need it. Badly. Anthropologie also has some ridiculously awesome wallpaper, which I know you are banned from using but a girl can dream, can't she?

I mean Anthropologie, can you just donate one of everything to me? I just love pretty much every single thing you make. Like, check out this coat rack:

and this dress:

I mean, hellooooooo! Anyway, enough gushing about things I can not afford.

furthermore, I think this is something you should really think about while doing over your room. It's obviously really important... hahaha.

Finally, a few weeks ago I was checking out at Old Navy and the flamboyantly gay cashier said that he liked my glasses and that I looked like I was, "straight from Portland, Oregon or something." I was puzzled because I have never been to Portland and I had no clue what my glasses had to do with such a place.

Then the other day it all became clear to me when I read that Portland recently named itself the "beard-iest" city in America. He must've thought I had a beard. Maybe he needs glasses.

that's all for now
Merry Christmas to you and your hipster dust bunnies.

ps. "A beard is a bullshit filter. It keeps me from working at lame places and 
interacting with lame people."

pps. I realized when I halfway started cleaning out my room today that I always find some pretty interesting/kooky things when I deep clean my room. I think you should share with us the weirdest things you found in your room overhaul.

Dust Bunnies

Dear Pure Foreigner,

That little girl is so cute! She knows more of the dance than you even. I've been trying to convince everyone at home to learn the dance with me, but no one wants to! Rage.

Anyway I'm sorry I haven't written in awhile. I've been busy cleaning my room, moving everything out, dusting, getting ready to paint, etc. It's proven to be a bigger project than I thought it would. I've had some serious allergy attacks from moving everything out, especially my rug. 

Dear dust bunnies, It's me, Dark Stranger.

I'm allergic to you, and you suck terribly. 

h8 u 

luv u alt-dust bunnies

I found this fantastic wallpaper that I want to put in my room, but my parents tell me I can't put it up. Something about "devaluing the house, blahblahblah" I think it's pretty sweet:

COLORING BOOK WALLPAPER!

Anyway that's all I have for now. I'm off to prepare to paint.

xoxo, 

Powerful Master (Mysterious Outsider)

I take it all back.

I know that in the past few posts I have written about many things that I love and many things that are very important to me. However, none even come close to this:

I mean, I'm pretty much positive that if "Single Ladies" had come when I was five, I would be doing the exact same thing. The girl's got steeeeeeeze. It gets really good at about 1:44 and then again at like 2:02.

That is all.

Walrus: Worst Nickname of 2k8...

...but I accept it.

speaking of Walrus, can we talk about this amazing gift that Cameron got for me?

yup, a walrus ornament, proudly displayed in my car. I love thee Cameron Winkstern, and all of your kooky ideas.

that's all for now, just desperately needed to share.

xoxo.
Pure Foreigner

this is important to me:

also so is this:

and this:

that is all.

ps. this is important to both of us.

Hanson, YouTube and the Scent of Man.

Have I ever told you how much I love Hanson? Well I do... and I'm doing this thing where I fall back in love with them all over again. Like srsly, they are so good. I need to see them live asap. I have three times already and I become truly reduced to tears. I turn into a screeching tween, and I am not ashamed. Dear Hanson, tour upstate sometime soon please. xoxo.

It certainly helps that they are so so so hot. haha, really though. straight studly.

Also, this seems important. As members of the blogosphere I think we should share.

also, because the music sucks, I provided this song for you to listen to while you watch:

In other news: Burger King has a scent for men called "Flame". Really it's real. "the scent of seduction with a hint of flame-broiled meat." Check it out here. Click the spray three times... it's disturbing/hilarious.

Starting my Christmas cards tomorrow... I'll let you know how they progress. Also, send me your address.

That's all she wrote,

ps. There's an online museum of art museum toilets. It is awesome. Here it is.

dude, bro! 2 OV MAH FAVORITE THINGS.

PURE FOREIGNR

I DISCOVERD WEBSIET DAT COMBINEZ 2 OV MAH FAV THINGS... LOLCATZ AN HIPSTERS! HEERS SAMPLE OV 2 OV TEH BEST PICTUREZ:


WIF LUV,
GREAT LORD (DARK STRANGR)

Come on America! Be green! Refill your 40 oz.

Dear Pure Foreigner,

I hope you do well on your final tomorrow! G'luck mate.

On a sadder note however, no, I am not in Vermont. My friend's car got a flat tire, and she has to go to the French consulate in NYC to get her visa to spend next semester in France. So I guess Marlboro (the college, not the cigarettes) is out of the question for now.

So instead of packing for a trip to Vermont, I've been tearing apart my room to get ready to paint/redecorate. Since you're so great at finding cool decorating ideas Pure Foreigner, will you help me think of a few cheap ideas for redecorating? Thankee so muchee.

I was google-ing bottle caps to think of creative ways to use mine, and I found a few cute, (somewhat) practical, do-able pictures:

(I really do like the bottle cap wall art one)

Then, I found these:

Cher, in bottle cap form. (h8 u)

A bottle cap bedroom collection. (miss u)

A sick dress (<3 the shoes, h8 the face).

To be able to accomplish some of these thing

I'd have to drink a lot of beer.
Probably enough for this many bottle caps:

By the end I'd probably look like this:

(miss u)

I've decided to stick with picture frames,
mirror frames, and possibly a beer pong table.

So... after looking so long at bottle cap art, I stumbled upon ideas of how to make stuff out of used plastic bags (apparently I was on a recycling-useless-shit kick):



With "fabric" out of plastic bags you can make all sorts a things:

ANYWAY... Did you hear the great news? Someone tried to kill Bush with a SHOE!

Here's a picture of our glorious hero:

I guess in Arab culture the greatest insult is slapping someone in the face with a shoe. Too bad he missed! I would have loved to see a serious brawl to go down. I mean really. Our politicians are not as interesting as some other countries'. It seems like there's always political fist fights happening in other nations. Here's an interesting smack down in Bolivia:



If you check out related videos it seems like Taiwan, the Czech Republic, and Russia (oh the Duma... always has crazy fights like these. so ridiculous) all have entertaining beatings in parliament. I guess I shouldn't be complaining that the U.S. doesn't have fights like these... it probably means our government is a little more "stable."

Though, I feel as if it's a trade off... a stable government, or great You-tube worthy videos? I'd choose the later. Let's stop fighting other people, and just fight each other!
Come on America!


With love,
Great Lord (Dark Stranger)

Hey, STFU Boy.

Check out PB&J's peppy new song and video here.

Oh hell Great Lord, there's only so much African American History studying I can take. I just don;t care why cotton was such a valuable crop in antebellum America, ya know? Also, I'm not sure whether my final is at 8 or 9am tomorrow so there is a great chance that I'll get to Geneseo an hour early tomorrow morning. boo.

In other news, my hair is straight up green. I think because I went so brown straight from blonde without using color-saving shampoo. I'm treating myself to a re-dye tomorrow in celebration of all my shit finally being done... wish me luck and remind me next time to not dye my hair.

Are you in Vermont???

Also, I know we're on an insane SNL kick lately, but last night I was watching while studying annnnnd... on Weekend Update Utica got that shout out:

go to about 2:10... also, he hates on New Jersey the whole time, but it's okay, we're used to it.

Oh, remember that time you were born in Arkansas...

soooo VOGUE has tons of different editions worldwide. L'Uomo Vogue is the Italian Men's edition and in November the whole issue was focused on Africa, which I think is sweet.

read all about it here.



Men's Wallets:

those little slots are for guitar picks. here.

black exterior, white interior. here.


strap is cumbersome, but tweed is cool. here.

again cumbersome, but cool. here.

I must get back to studying. This is gonna be my hardest final, so send me good vibes if you see this before I take it.

<3 Pure Foreigner.

ps. THIS is what I want to do:
