Circumlocution...?

Brevity is the soul of this blog, that much is clear from the last year's worth of posts. Perhaps in 2009 I shall talk your ear off.

First of all, on 4 January 2009 I quietly celebrated my 1-year anniversary of living in New York. 2008 was totally cray cray, but we needn't go into it. So here are some images from my flight to California for the holiday.

Similarly,

This amazing installation by Anders Nilsen (I wrote about his book a few posts down) is blowing my mind, and looks a lot like the plate walls but TINIER.

Tectonic

Sadly, my collecting of old mugs and plates has slowed down a bit in recent months, so I have been reviewing some old flickr favorites.

This last wall would match my quilt quite nicely, if I could ever manage to finish it.

You say goodbye, I say hello

It has been months since my last post. There are many things I vowed to do in 2008, one of which I've already failed at (I guess I will not have 366). Notwithstanding I still reminisce often and fondly on my time here at circumlocution and am determined to bring it back to its full and deserving splendor.

First things first: these 3 books are incredible.

3. Dogs and Water, by Anders Nilsen



Please note: these are in no way in order by awesomeness. It's all just totally random.

Historically speaking

Back in the early days of Circumlocution I managed to write about vastly interesting things, like Corey Hart's sunglasses (which is often searched in Google, strangely enough) and Rockstar: INXS (do you people remember that?) but these days it's tapered off a bit, hm? I should really be rambling on and on about half-price eclairs and temporal-lobe epilepsy. Instead, this is what I've got for now:

RECENT and RAD:

Brooklyn Flea
I couldn't be more excited about this. It's just not possible.

Muxtape
This site is the best thing that ever happened to me, after actually making mixtapes with really rad artwork that I cut out of magazines for boys I thought were cute. Mine is currently covers.

Fred Flare
It's a tiny lego and it's an ipod speaker and it looks just like my external, I have to have it.

Send a Message
I will do this. Thanks David.

More soon. This is what one corner of my room looks like:

Almost ready.

Sea Legs

My dream this morning was a long bike ride. Down hills and through trees and then, amazingly, over a lake. The flattest, smoothest lake you've ever seen. My friends were swimming and I rode over the water, barely making a ripple. Willow mentioned my sea legs IRL the other day. I never wanted to find the shore.
