*inspired by the 'dark' nature of oslo, i found what i was looking for to translate a vague notion of disorientation brought on by the intersection of technology and modernity. not sure why, but im definitely feeling like that lately. the thread in these images (besides the awesomeosity) is their location: grünerløkka, oslo. GEO QUIZ!!! this country has the second highest quality of life and the capital is oslo...any guesses kids? (hint: even the ugly people are hot.)

*ill begrudgingly admit that i have been getting re-acquainted with the fussy streets of SoHo. As opposed to before when i would walk in this nabe on autopilot, im slowly becoming aware of all the nooks and crannies in this english muffin of a hood.

*ive been talking to strangers on the phone all day, the database ran away, small town new jersey police have nothing to do, and emails galore await me in my intern throne.

*tip of the day goes to: people who work at glorified tshirt purveyors TIP: the retail concept of poor treatment = exclusivity and therefore 'coolness' is a little 2003... now youre just annoying.
