Dover. A right dive.

Dover, when you're not at the castle and are just sitting in a traffic jam waiting for the ferry is a bloody ugly place.

the 5 coolest umbrellas.. ever.

It's sort of sad that in my bedridden state all I can do is google "chill umbrella".
But hey, it makes for a pretty darn dandy blog post, amiriteamirite?

And anyway, seeing as we're having the FAKEST SUMMER EVER here in london, it seems quite appropriate.

At number 5, it's the UNbrella.
It's just a stick, with funny umbrella bits coming out of it, but you can attach ANYTHING to it! how neat. Although tbh, I'd prefer just a normal umbrella. Although people might see you with the londonpaper as a proper umbrella and be like WOWOMG. and that'd be pretty neat.


At number 4 It's the LightSaber Umbrella.

Someone watched Bladerunner and was all like, LOL it's not the 80's nomore, we actually do have the technology to make that shiatsu. So they went right on ahead and made the Glowy umbrella.



Number 3: The Watergun Umbrella.

Wow. Just Wow.
The rainfall fills up your watergun, so you're never out of ammo. But then again, who's mean enough to squirt someone with water when it's raining so much you have enough water for this umbrella to even work?

Actually, come to think of it, a lot of people are.




Numero duo? 2. The Rareimmenseandutterlycool Umbrella
My spanish isn't good. But anyway, at number 2, its the fudging mad umbrella spotted once in Tokyo. Literally, this is like a rarely spotted umbrella. Seen once, and then never blogged about again..
But its actually so awesome.


At number 1, it's possibly the least functioning umbrella of them all. The CloudBrella


This umbrella clearly does nothing. I reckon it makes the rain laugh at you so much you get more rained on. But at least you look goddarn coool whilst using your useless umbrella.
It's inflatable... That's how you put it up. So when you get caught in a sudden flash rainstorm, and everyone around you instantly pops up their umbrellas, you get to spend 5 minutes pumping this baby up to give yourself some unsatisfactory coverage.
But then again, every cloud has a silver lining... HAHAHAHAomgi'msofunnysometimes.



I WANT ONE.

new phone arrived. it's broken.

wow vodafone suck.

even the guy on the helpline was like "woah. wow. sorry about that".

i waited like. 7 hours for the dude to turn up, he does, gives me the phone, leaves super quick and then i look at it, and the backplate that covers the camera lens is broken off.

thinking about switching from vodafone to like, orange or o2. blackberry bold maybe.

new phone tomorrow!

so as you all know, I cracked the screen on my blackberry.

it wasn't my fault.
seriously.

but tomorrow, between 8am and 6pm (the man on the phone refused to tell me when) a new UNCRACKED, UNSCRATCHED, UN-OS FUDGED storm will arrive on my doorstep. so excited to get one that will actually let me use an application without restarting itself.



origami skills

so cute and so skillful. i'd attempt to build it but I know what would happen.

actually, i probably will tomorrow. I got nothing better to do than mope at home and wait for my new phone to arrive.

and text ali incessantly.

who cares about the environment when we can have ads like this. :wut:

possibly killed like, 70 ecosystems in ghana for this, but at least the western world can now view a pretty chill ad:

come to think about it...


they probably recycled.


Rafaël Rozendaal's Explosion

Hurts my eyes but my brain sorta likes it.





Pon De Floor

Major Lazer makes some sick beats, and while i'm not always on them, always on his tees.
Seeing as my hairy export from pakistan is moving to kent tomorrow I reckon i'll be drowning my sorrows in some of these fantastic tees.

Lupe Fiasco Is Going to Marry Me.

Eventually he will realise that his partner is just not as cool as me.
Ish.

And then he'll marry me.
Ish.

Gah the L.A.S.E.R.S MANIFESTO makes me want to jump him.






Results for the Mighty MJ Quiz



Basically all this quiz told me was that you guys know jack poop about MJ.

Other than Reece who did awesomely (actually, did as I expected most people to do. Only did "awesomely" because everyone else failed), the results were shocking.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves. REALLY.

Reece wins some home cooked chicken.


PS
Is it only me that thought MJ was hot in Thriller and Bad?
Damn those album covers.



Leica M8 in White

*drool*

anybody got a spare $8,500 laying about on their floor?
If so take a hop, skip and a jump over the pond to buy the limited edition white Leica M8. yummy.
It's a digital rangefinder, using a humungous (ok not that big but still, large) sensor and the optical genius of leica to bring some orgasmic photographs to your laps.
I think I peed a little when I saw this...




good god it's sexy.





Roc Star 2010 Collection

I was just nosing about through Roc Star's new lookbook and I'm loving the mad late 80's early 90's theme to the stuff. Damn FRESH.
Now all I need to do is raise enough money to buy a plane ticket to japan and enough money to buy all the clothes once I get there.

Great.
