Needs... NOT wants...

Word to the wise: Don't buy a house. Because you have to spend money on stuff like this...



And then you realize you could have bought these...

Same price... yuck! Sadly, I believe the Dries Van Noten contrast oxfords would get me further in life. The box would fit in my sisters car more easily and ya, I would wear them in my backyard while I tried to kill the gopher/mole(s) that are messing with my grass and sanity.

It's time...

It's time to blog again.

Spring Is Here &...

Spring is officially here and I pretty much want everyone to look like this now. I know. I know. I never shut up about Christopher Bailey for Burberry Prorsum but get real with this collection. I've got the pale thing working for me but I just don't know how to get this thin without breaking the law. The plaid lining in the blazer towards the bottom... I'd take take a bullet for that tartan.

Ha-Ha-Hernia...

Thought this was a coincidental picture to stumble upon as I wrote "DVD Hernia... Gird Em'!" on a freshly packed box. Moving sucks... prepared or not.

The Presets...

So despite being at work late Maren and I busted it to see The Presets last saturday. After a stressful traffic experience we made it to the front of the stage during the third song into their set thanks to Jory and Jo saving some dance space. I was so excited when I heard they were coming back because it was one of the best live shows I saw last year. Despite their sound being too much for any small scale Salt Lake venue to handle (the sound blew twice) they were nothing short of amazing. You are so gross and then you just keep dancing because you are powerless. Here is the new video to "If I Know You." Strange and intriguing. Despite my hate of heat, if Diet Coke and Beef Jerky were involved, I would totally be down for a summer night bonfire dance party. Enjoy.

Je Suis Pathetique...

I don't even deserve to have a blog. I am awful at posting and it isn't even hard. I swear I went to Belgium and have some good photos. Not to mention, my life has been pretty wonderful as of late. Busy but wonderful. So here is a smattering of photos with one specifically for Sarah since she made a direct comment about the yarn I was spinning.

Belgium?....YES!

So my sister and i got wild and are going to Belgium. I don't even know what to expect except amazement and inspiration at every turn. I have so many Belgians that I follow, adore and admire but I chose to put this little photo of Rene Magritte (one of my very favorite artists). I can't believe a month has slipped by without me posting anything. Here is to travel! If for nothing else it will make good blogging material. Oh, and dear Dries and Ann, your fall 2009 shows in Paris were amazing yesterday. I am coming to see your stores in Antwerp. Do you need someone to run errands for you? I would work for scraps. Love, Dirk.
