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
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.
Becoming an American
Backstory:I got my Greencard in 2006…and just became eligible for Citizenship this year.
So many people think that you get handed a passport a few months after you marry an American. That could NOT be further from the truth!!
The Greencard process involved an expensive Lawyer, and Mike proving that he could ’sponsor’ my Residency. We had to produce tax Returns and paychecks, I had to go for a physical to test for AIDS and Tuberculosis, and then we had a swift interview where we had to prove the validity of our relationship.
