Wish I was going too

It’s old, I know, but anybody else like that Jem thing? Ashley got me into it, even though I’ve had a track or two since…forever or something.

This is some sick bass guitar of Amazing Grace. Thanks Jon!

Has anybody seen Piperlime? It’s Gap, Inc.’s latest venture and it involves nothing but selling “more than 100 amazing footwear brands featuring the hottest styles and designers“. A quick look at their selection and I’ll say I’m quite impressed. It’s nothing that you can’t find anywhere else (say, Zappos), but it sure is a welcome addition and option when it comes to buying shoes or sneakers.

The AK 21L Pack [from Burton] is fantastic! And if I had money to spend, I wouldn’t be ashamed of wearing this festive Burton beanie.

Did you catch the new secrets?

The Brilliance echoes my thoughts exactly about the new MTV website. It’s fugly.

So for this first post…what is up with the new MTV site??? I would compare the MTV.com experience to that of walking into a Wal-Mart. You never really know where to start, you can’t believe how much stuff they have and that gives you a headache, and everywhere you look are ads and logos. Let me break this down… Where do you start? On the top left? Maybe on the bottom middleish left? Or maybe you just wait to see if it starts doing things on its own? There are, count them, 11 separate ‘feature’ areas of the site, 2 of them are purely advertising. It’s honestly like a chore trying to figure out where you should start. Maybe if you can’t figure it out just use that gigantic search bar up top. There is so much content on this site, your processor’s speed will drop for sure…maybe if they weren’t trying to house 8,002 trillateragigflops of information it would be a little smoother.

Heh, that’s so true. Anyway, the last few MTV.com re-designs haven’t been all too great at all. This new one just added itself to that list by default. Ack!

Check this out you Times Square joggers: Charmin (yep, the toilet paper company) is installing a 20-stall bathroom unit in Times Square and equipping each stall with Charmin Ultra in order to show people just how soft and lovely their toilet paper really is!

The 20-stall restroom will be at 1540 Broadway, between 45th and 46th Streets, in space formerly occupied by a bar, Bar Code. It will be open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. (except for Christmas Day, when it will close at 6 p.m.). Two of the stalls will be accessible to people with disabilities, and baby changing stations will be available. There will also be a seating lounge, with its own photo-op: A six-foot stuffed Charmin bear, just waiting to have its picture taken with a visitor.

Do watch out for Charmin representatives dressed as walking toilets! They will be doing street advertising for the public restrooms. Oh, and yes, they are free to use. These toilet stalls will be available for use starting today, Monday, until December 31st. Sounds like a fun adventure in the heart of the city, no? :)

This is really really dumb, but did you know that the Nintendo Wii has its own Xanga? I don’t understand how this is not going against Xanga’s TOS while Joey’s Xanga was [old URL: http://www.xanga.com/joey_the_dog]. Incredible, Xanga. Just incredible work you’re doing. -_-

I want a Cyberman Helmet!! That looks like it could be a lot of good plain fun! :D

Paper has covered the windows of the 19th street American Apparel for a very long time, and finally on Thursday of last week the store was unwrapped and opened to the public.

Find just about any newspaper you can think of. Quite a useful tool, I’d say. Bookmark it.
And somewhat related to the newspaper, here’s a site that was introduced to me back when I was at Rutgers studying Mass Media Communications: Who Owns What? It basically just gives a pretty comprehensive overview of what media companies own what. It’s nice to know, I guess. Hey, I found it interesting, ok?

This week is gonna be awesome. I don’t even know how to explain it. I’m just already so excited for Thanksgiving and all the various festivities with friends I have planned (and not planned). Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Saturday. Sunday. Oh my goodness am I going to be exhausted when Thanksgiving weekend is over. You ever get tired yet completely satisfied at the same time? That’s the feeling I anticipate after these next few days are over with. I seriously can’t wait. :)
