nail polish & Dash Snow

mint candy apple

toooday work was slow, so I finally gave in and decided to try out the new nail polish we got in! The brand is essie, a really really sweet company that makes some insane colours: neon pink (pink parka), neon orange (bright tights), gunmetal (over the top), sheer pink (rock candy), blue (aruba blue), and the one I like best, a seafoamy green one called "mint candy apple" hahaha yess so it's actually really good and really opaque so you barely need more than one or two coats.. the only thing is, I wanted it to be a matte nail polish because I have recently become addicted to matte polish. so, yeah.

Also I am finally going to post some stuff from Dash Snow, a crazy artist from NYC. I got this book (free) from the previous edition of Purple mag that I bought from chaaaapters. It was fucking expensive; 35 bucks! But it's huge and it only comes out once a year. Plus, it had a whole spread on Karen O, so.. worth it. I'll post that later. DASH SNOW makes some insane collages, which are for the most part really amazing but also disgusting since he uses his spit, jizz, and pubesssss. yuck.

EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE

Another book! I'm trying to catch up on all the missed book-posts from when my scanner wasn't working. I really really recommend this book to eveeeryone: Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, who also wrote Everything is Illuminated, which is also really good. It's about a kid whose dad died in 9/11, and his little journey trying to find out where his dad's key belongs. Reeeeally good. I love his writing style. It's so disjoint. Anyways, you should know this book is good when I've read it ten times and actually PAID for it, which I never, ever do. So, read this.

1000!

I miss christmas already.
anyways to start off the new year I set up my scanner to scan my book collection and made up a few good resolutions.

#1: move the fuck out of my house and into my own
#2: pass my first year of university with decent marks
#3: download some songs/buy more CDs
#4: work on this blog
#5: get my driver's license
#6: get a car
#7: go to coachella

and to start off with #4, I'm actually going to post some stuff about BOOKS, because that's what I was supposed to do a looong time ago. So, for 2010, I give you 1984 by George Orwell, my very first free book and scanned from my spankin'-new printer/faxer/scanner! This is my super-legit penguin books copy that I snatched from co-op's free book section. blast from the past!
