project runway lame-itude s05e01
keywords: girlicious, wackadoodle, crap, tote
my name is blaine and i try too hard to start a new catchphrase: "girlicious". clearly did not sparkle with the judges.
*
my name is suede and i'm too old to use that name. i look badass cuz i have blue faux hawk and i think i sound just as badass because i blurted out the word "wackadoodle" 14 minutes into the season pilot. i also bedazzled my name in the back of my denim vest.
*
my name is jerry. even though i got kicked out, i stand by what i said: "as a designer i always wanna be taken serious. i saw that people were just putting crap on top of crap. ya know, paper bags on top of coffee filters and balloons or balls and produce. that's all stuff i just throw away in the trash."
*
my name is wesley and i'm tote* a gq guy. my tote bag is tote* manly cuz it goes well with my summer shorts. i wear tote* fitted shirts with sockless loafers. i don't care if other people say tote bag is gay cuz i tote* believe in everything gq says. to me tote* also stands for "totally".
streamyx miracle!
i dunno what caused this miracle but somehow my torrent speed on this damn streamyx line is able to download a dvd rip film at 35 kB/s average. sometimes it went up to 42 kB/s. is it because of the number of people seeding? it's weird cuz my connection has always sucked.
i have a 384 kbps basic dsl with this ISP and pay about 20 USD per month. i am no internet expert but i can tell for sure that at this price, this streamyx ISP is probably the biggest rip off ever cuz usually the typical speed usually never ever comes close to the advertised speed.
it drives me nuts when the internet speed is goddamn slow, especially when flickr photos etc etc take forever to load. i have to wait forever to get youtube videos to load.

all people look the same - in manga at least
this is a page from a manga called captain tsubasa world youth i've been reading.
notice how everyone looks almost the same - huge eyes, small pointy noses, lipless mouths, ridiculously huge ears, and sharp jaw lines.
srsly, mangas are the best when it comes to visualizing a out of this world characterization of umm people. i think manga characters are way hotter than real people. i have never seen hentai and i probably should never ever. it'd be weird to imagine your real life partner is somehow who's lipless with ridiculously huge eyes. but the pointy nose and the perfect hair could offset that weirdness imo.
dumb presidents dumbing down the country
video transcript:
mccain: thanks for the introduction guys. they didn't mention that i stood fifth from the bottom of my class at the naval academy. [clap] if my old company officer were here today he would tell you that in america anything is possible.[laughs]
bush: history major. c student. [clap] theres hope for you c students. theres hope for ya. [laughs]
bush: i see how things work out pretty well for a c students. [laughs]
bush: olivia is a phd. i was a c student. olivia is the expert. i'm the president. [laughs]
bush: i was a c student. he's a phd. notice who's the president. who's the advisor. [laughs]
bush: he's the phd and i'm the c student. but notice who's the advisor and whos the president.
bush: see hes obviously a really smart guy. he's a phd. i'm a c student. i want you to notice who's the advisor who's the president. [clap]
bush: he's got the phd in the medical degree. and i'm the c student. notice who's the advisor and who's the president. [laughs]
question: we know that president bush was a c student at yale. so do you remember your gpa at school?. [clap]
mccain: my gpa earned me fifth from the bottom of my class at the naval academy status... since it was in the coolidge administration, it was a different measurement. but i can assure you on today standard it would be barely Pass. [laughs]
i dont understand why people actually laughed and clapped when told that their president is proud to be dumb. mccain, the presidential nominee has yet to be proud of being dumb, but he is smart enough to still run in hoping that dumb people would vote for him.
obviously recent general election exit polls show how republicans are supported by the uneducated, poor, conservatives, old, religious, and right wing nut job voters. democrats are supported by the educated, young, affluent, liberal, and left wing nut case voters.
this year, republicans have mccain who graduated near the bottom out of the 899 students in his class. democrats have obama who graduated with a magna cum laude from harvard. in any other developed countries, the likes of mccain and bush would never get to become the president. i have no idea why people vote for these idiots.

dior homme lumiere du nord shoes
i'm kinda weirded out when i saw the shoes on luisaviaroma >>.
the shoes shown on that website aren't exactly the same as on dior homme's campaign page >>.
from dh website:
and here are the ones on luisaviaroma:
1st:
2nd type
*maybe my eyes are deceiving me but looks like the difference between the 1st and 2nd type on luisaviaroma is just the patent on the 1st shoes. the prices of both shoes are € 640.00, which is $ 1016. yikes. i dunno if they're worth all that much. it's kinda ridiculous to pay that even with patent.
