Items I have been dreaming of recently:
More will follow later.
I’m listening to Modest Mouse We were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. It’s keeping me company as I browse for vintage/thrift shops to visit. A long time ago I ended up in Buffalo Exchange on The Ave. At the time I just thought it was a neat place. Now I keep reading blogs where people have actually bought cool stuff there. It inspired my wish to go back.
I also must make it to Crossroads Trading Co. I need to get shoes for Halloween. I’m going as my favorite Vampire from Buffy. I’ll leave you guessing until the 31st.
On and exciting note Tagtober is coming back for 2009. Once again I’m toying with the idea of shooting instant film. Maybe the best idea is to throw in one or two instant pics and do the rest digital.
Last night we had a lot of fun getting sushi and hanging out with friends. We even met two friends in person for the first time. Then we went to the falls and back to Michael’s packed apt. There isn’t much room inside for the 5 occupants + 1 cat.
After we dropped Tom off in Capital Hill I managed to get about 4 hours of sleep. It was worth it though!
Listening to Royksopp on vinyl with Milo. It’s a two record set. I just love how side A starts off with Royksopp Forever. The whole vinyl album seems to have a better flow than the digital one. Simplistic is not the right word but it’s how the music sounds.
Thanks to last weeks sidewalk sale at Sonic Boom Records our collection has grown 53 or so. I’ve decided there is little point to buying CDs because I never get around to listening to them. My poor Portishead P3 album has been collecting dust just inches below the turntable. It’s stuffed in the 5 disc changer with some other great CDs like the latest Secret Machines and Air.
The feeling of putting on a record is superior to pushing a button on the remote. Yes it’s crazy, but there is something about the feeling of the record and having to get up and turn it over.
I’m currently saving up for a Portland trip. That means lots of vinyl shops so I must save up. There is something really exciting about going out of town and getting a different take on vinyl and coffee.
I’ve been doing a lot of blog reading lately. My current trend is daily wear bloggers. Girls who put together interesting outfits that don’t quite fit any popular trend. They blend well together though. Since I have a very dull clothing style I will spare you the same but I do think I have pretty good taste in vinyl.
One fashion thing I do have to note is that I am totally lusting after a pair of Kenneth Cole New York Stripe Less shoes.
Now you must all check out the hotness that is The Impossible Project. People in mass can do nifty things.
Time for side C of “disc 2″ that cracks me up.
I was reading an article about online shoe stores earlier and they mentioned two new links I hadn’t heard of yet. I might be behind in this whole world of shoes but I just had to share. So Gap and Amazon each have their own separate shoe sites.
Maybe I’ll find a good deal and actually buy shoes instead of missing the deal. I tend to wait and forget. I should buy them when I first discover them.
