i'm probably going to retire from tumblr
or at least for an indefinite period.
i’m really sick of the vapid nature of this site. i can’t keep up with the banality of round the clock image regurgitation. no offense people.
in the past i’ve tried to make some thoughtful, intelligent and academic posts. it’s hard to keep up with this type of writing/cognitive processing while still in school, and i have serious...

Now Isn't This Handy: A Belt Buckle/MetroCard... →
TMRnyc has done it again. First, their ingenious SideWired desk, and now an equally smart solution to an age-old problem: Where is that damn MetroCard?
A bit of background:
The subway rushed in. Fumbling at the turnstile with his coffee, gloves, and skateboard, Patrick missed the train—again.
A high-end blacksmith known for custom belt buckles, Patrick Quinn had just moved to New York. He...
kmskms asked: i spent a couple years living in the dorms on campus so i know how hard decorating can be. for hanging photos, my old roommate bought a long wire-type thing and then hung photos off of that above her desk, similar to this: http://birdandlittlebird.typepad.com/.a/6a00e550e99ce588340120a6b25bdf970b-500wi . it looked really good. and i think the portland/pnw tribute is a cute idea! definitely not too...
tumblr friends
i desperately want to redecorate my room at school. i did a terrible, uninspired job last semester. things that need to happen which i could use suggestions for:
-how to arrange photobooth strip collection
-how to arrange/assemble trailblazers paper ephemera collection
-buy a bookshelf or continue to have books in random stacks all over the room?
-shrine to portland/oregon/pnw: too obsessive?...
