Taking a cue from Anna
Lovely!
Grey Pleather 80s Jam Jacket
$15 at my local Goodwill. I have no clue how to make it look modern, so stay tuned.
PS. It has an electric blue lining!
This beautiful specimen is $100 – Miss Sixty
Pity I would only wear it once a year, cos I’m in love
UPDATE! After I got the ‘new job’, and found out I was going to NY, I ran straight to Burlington and bought this beaut! There was one left, in my size! Destiny!
And of course, she kept me warm and stylish all week!
This scarf tie is the hotness
Which makes me wish you could get ‘knot royalties’ cos I invented it!! (I assume)

Am I really a Web Designer?
This occurred to me as I was taking the ‘A List Apart Survey’….
Even though I solidly checked ‘Web Designer’ as a profession, I do actually perform all these tasks…daily
- Graphic design
- Page layout, interface design
- Information architecture, wireframing, sitemapping
- Markup, e.g., HTML, XHTML, XML
- CSS coding
- Usability testing/knowledge
- Accessibility testing/knowledge
- Findability/search engine optimization/search engine marketing
- Front-end programming, e.g., JavaScript
- Image editing and production
- Writing, editing
- Project management
So can I change my title…to Web Site Super-Maker or something ?

Short necklaces?
Add ribbon and nice knots and you have a necklace you could have paid $20 for in American Eagle
Best Album of the Year
NME put out their list of the best albums of 2009. As I expected, it’s full of noisy, obscure Indie bands whose hipster factor outweighs their actual musical talent. I hadn’t heard of most of the bands (not surprising. I’m not British and I don’t read the NME) but I had a few of the albums on the list. Here’s my rankings, based on the music and how much I listened to that album:
| Artist | Album | My Rank |
NME Rank |
| Franz Ferdinand | Franz Ferdinand Tonight: | 1 | 43 |
| Lily Allen | It’s Not Me, It’s You | 2 | 25 |
| Kasabian | West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum | 3 | 11 |
| Arctic Monkeys | Humbug | 4 | 12 |
| Yeah Yeah Yeahs | It’s Blitz! | 5 | 3 |
| Phoenix | Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix | 6 | 34 |
| Florence And The Machine | Lungs | 7 | 26 |
| Empire Of The Sun | Walking On A Dream | 8 | 42 |
| Passion Pit | Manners | 9 | 37 |
| Bat For Lashes | Two Suns | 10 | 22 |
So me and the NME don’t agree… At all. I listened to the top 10 and was not impressed. Methinks their writers are just trying to one-up each another in an inter-office indie battle of artfullness, disregarding what the listeners think.
