Tupac sketch--hee!

2007-02-26T10:42:00.000-06:00

So my homegirl Breanne and I are now completely obsessed with the website Etsy where crafters sell their wares because we dream of starting a crafting empire of our own and selling cool and weird things we make. Etsy can give you hours of enjoyment, because there are just thousands of completely bizarre things for sale there. My current favorite: this sketch of Tupac Shakur that is being sold for TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS!!!

P.S. The description is a must-read!

Funny pics

Alice's albums of da month!

2007-02-05T16:16:00.000-06:00

[YoYoYoYoYo/Spank Rock]This album is such a good time. It is high-energy, innovative, and totally funky, like a cross between Dizzee Rascal and Lil Wayne, plus the filthiness of Tenacious D.

My Favorite Lyric: "I keep it dirty, not like Fergie/Ain’t the Black Eyed Peas/This shit ain’t happy/I’m a trashy, boastful bitch MC" (from "Bump")

***

[Tidal/Fiona Apple]This is kind of old-school, but this album is still completely hot. Fiona's voice is so sexy, mature, and knowing on this record, you almost forget she was only 19 when she made it. Good thing all of her public appearances from this era are there to remind us ("The world is bullshit!").

My Favorite Lyric: ""You say love is a hell you cannot bear/And I say give me mine back and then go there, for all I care" (from "Sleep To Dream")
***

[Mass Romantic/The New Pornographers]This album combines happy-snappy music with odd and cryptic lyrics, and somehow the combination is effing wicked. You have to love a band that can make a song about the descent into alcoholism sound like something the muppets might sing.

My Favorite Lyric: "The time that your enemy gives you/Good times are not the ones you want" (from "Letter From An Occupant")
***

[The Execution Of All Things/Rilo Kiley]Jenny Lewis's voice doesn't shine in this one as much as More Adventurous, this low-key stunner is still totally awesome. It is almost epic in its own humble, dreamy way.

My Favorite Lyric: "Then we’ll go to Omaha/To work and exploit the booming music scene" (Woop woop Nebraska reference!) (from "The Execution Of All Things")
***
Honorable Mention: [Alright, Still/Lilly Allen], [Pick A Bigger Weapon/The Coup], [Citrus/Asobe Seksu]
Please tell me what you guys have been listening to!!!

Sorry! Again! Some more!

I know I am a total liar and I haven't been posting like I promised, but it's because I've been contemplating a few changes in the blog's format. I still want to continue as a photoblog as much as I can, with lots of personal style posts and pictures of random stuff I've found, but I think I'll also start posting some "editorial" things, so-to-speak, probably mostly about music. That'll keep me more engaged in the whole blog-thing, and make the site more rich, well-rounded, and interesting. Thanks guys! A tout à l'heure!

Sorry

Concerned reader Molly, from the fantastic blog Ashcan Rantings inquired as to why I haven't been posting lately. I have not fallen off the face of the Earth, I have just been feeling sort of apathatic and bitchy since school started again. I swear I will snap out of it and get to taking pictures of stylish Nebraskans soon, so expect a few posts this week. And I will start commenting on your blogs again soon, sorry!
P.S. I am incredibly flattered that anyone would notice the absence of this little blog, so vielen Dank to you, Molly!

New Years Eve pictures!

2006-12-31T23:35:00.000-06:00

Tom and I hung out with some dear friends for New Years Eve, it was it was great fun. Here is Tom in the jacket from his vintage Polo suit. Very dashing.

I haven't once posted a picture of myself on this blog, so here are nine of them. Goofy ones.

Plus this one... My favorite!

Cult.UNL on Acid Free's website

2006-12-31T11:27:00.001-06:00

The wonderful local 'zine, Acid Free Lincoln, has pimped this very blog on their website. Check it out!

Doodles

2006-12-31T10:23:00.000-06:00

I think these old doodles of my brother's that I found in a notebook would be great printed on t-shirts. Put in your orders now! (Note: I've taken the liberty of naming them.)

Gas Mask Man

Medieval Guys Fighting

Shocked Homosexual

This one, I think, would be especially stylin'.
You And Dogs

Defense of Joanna Newsom

2006-12-18T15:29:00.000-06:00

Okay, this is just random, but it makes me sad and I felt like posting it. Why does Rolling Stone insist on picking on Joanna Newsom???? I know her aesthetic doesn't appeal to everyone, but God, there's no need to harp. And besides, she's so cute!
EDIT: No need to harp! Hee! I didn't even notice that when I was writing it!

Return of CULT.UNL... sort of

2006-12-11T17:33:00.000-06:00

So I've been taking a quick hiatus from the bloglife to freak out about school, but I will be back. Since winter break is upon us, I won't be able to take pictures on campus for a while, but I might post a few random shots over break. Here is one, it's my little brother, wearing [guess what!] Ralph Lauren.

Willa, horticulture major

2006-11-10T16:53:00.000-06:00

Polished and adorable.

Alison, anthropology and religious studies major

2006-11-01T19:26:00.000-06:00

This is yet another one from my Arabic class. She always looks amazingly cool.

EDIT... to tell a quote I heard on Laguna Beach. This is the most ingeniously messed up idiom I've heard in a long time.
"Don't point fingers, when you live in a glass house!"

A few more random sights

2006-11-01T18:56:00.000-06:00

I know personal style posts are more fun, but you've got to humor me and look at a few more shots of things I found interesting around town.

I call this piece "Red State Blues"

A cool bike

Woody Allen stencil on Nissan's gas thingy

Close up of stencil

Tom, 9th grader

2006-10-30T15:00:00.000-06:00

This is my little brother, in head-to-toe Ralph Lauren.

Mary, chair of technical services, Love Library

2006-10-30T14:57:00.000-06:00

So this is my mom. She's super-cute.

Some random sights

2006-10-30T14:53:00.000-06:00

I was barely on campus today so I didn't snap any stylerific students, but here are a few cool shots in downtown lincoln.

Old autobody shop sign

Neon dancing ladies at one of Lincoln's most venerable strip clubs

I think this TransAm is badass

Julie, international studies major

2006-10-27T16:29:00.000-05:00

Julie is another one from my Arabic class. Her coat is super-cool.

Johanna, art history major

2006-10-27T16:26:00.000-05:00

This might be my favorite look I've photographed. (You can see my dorky shadow in it.)

Some cool bikes I've seen

2006-10-26T11:43:00.000-05:00

Justin, English major

2006-10-25T16:50:00.000-05:00

Have you noticed how many English majors I've snapped? They are just so stylin'.

Signs

2006-10-25T16:42:00.000-05:00

These are signs that are in one of my classrooms. I think they must be for an elementary ed class, and most of the signs say cliché encouraging sayings like "I can do this!" but these two are oddly profound.

"Room With A View" exhibit, Union

2006-10-24T13:51:00.000-05:00

These are shots from this multimedia exhibit about eating disorders called "A Room With A View."
Clothes and collages from the "image room"

Me in the funhouse mirror in the "distortion room"

Pile of jeans in the "distortion room"

There was a recording of people saying stuff like, "You're worthless," playing in the exhibit. It was totally creepy.

Sarai, English major

2006-10-24T13:50:00.000-05:00

This shot is bizarre (my fault, obviously), but her boots are still incredible.

Girl getting coffee at the Union

2006-10-24T13:49:00.000-05:00

I love the buttons on her coat.

Amanda, English major

2006-10-24T13:48:00.000-05:00

Don't you love the dude behind her?

Bonus: pics of firefighters on top of the Ross

2006-10-23T22:13:00.000-05:00

I have no idea what they were doing up there, but I got a few good pictures.

Guy I saw outside Avery Hall

2006-10-23T16:28:00.000-05:00

This guy was Fab-u-lous, but I think slightly bashful.

Breanne, French major

2006-10-23T16:27:00.000-05:00

Breanne is my friend from Arabic class. She can put on puppet shows while keeping her fingers warm!

Mina, history major

2006-10-23T16:26:00.000-05:00

Fun detail: red kitty ipod cover.

I Heart Alpacas!

2006-10-23T16:25:00.000-05:00

Hats from the Crew Team's annual sale of Andean-style outerwear. So random, but very cool.

Barbara, senior vice chancellor for academic affairs

2006-10-23T16:23:00.000-05:00

Her last name is Couture. Seriously.

Kaitlin, art major

2006-10-23T16:22:00.000-05:00

Cute, casual funk.

Kari, Environmental Sciences Major

2006-10-20T17:08:00.000-05:00

These boots were amazing; sort of equestrian.

Aftyn, Business Major

2006-10-20T17:06:00.000-05:00

This is the first person I've photographed whose major isn't in Arts & Sciences. I was beginning to think there were no fashionable people in the other colleges... just kidding.

Jasmin, Psychology Major

2006-10-20T17:05:00.000-05:00

The back of this jacket was also really cool.

Girl I saw near Teachers' College

2006-10-20T17:03:00.000-05:00

This picture does not do these shoes justice. I love the color: kind of a gray-purple.

Hayley, philosophy major

2006-10-19T15:24:00.000-05:00

I definitely love the attitude. Plus, she likes Spoon!

Eric, history major

2006-10-19T15:20:00.000-05:00

The first boy! And there was much rejoicing.

Ashley, classics major

2006-10-18T17:08:00.000-05:00

The pattern on this sweatshirt is so graphic and cool. They're little boats.

Paige, biosystems engineering major

2006-10-18T17:00:00.000-05:00

So creative and fun.

Becky, French and English major

2006-10-18T16:54:00.000-05:00

The hair really makes the outfit for me.
