without a watch

Starting in late August, I decided to ditch my faithful gold-plated Casio digital watch. Within a few days, I realized how dependent I was at looking at my watch to tell time and keeping track of experiments. Then I started depending on my cell phone. Then my cell phone broke so that cycle broke. Then I got a temporary phone which sucks so it's a good balance. Anyway, I kinda want this because it actually might be useful (image via Seven New York):

Ha! Just kidding... okay not really. Jeremy Scott's stuff always cracks me up. However, I do genuinely wish I could buy this dress. I have a clock-print bomber jacket that would be awesome overkill.

diamonds and candy

I'm ALMOST done with science camp. I wrote a blog entry on our bus ride back to Illinois last week. It's outdated and I never got a chance to find all the images I was planning to put in this entry. Anyway, I figure I should still post what I have already written considering I worked so "hard" on it.

3 October 2008:
For the past week and a half, I’ve been participating in a graduate school-level “science camp” out in the heartland of America. I’m only halfway through the course, but my belly and brain are already filled to the max with sugar and advanced physics respectively. Maybe I just haven’t been getting enough sleep or I’m actually going crazy, but some of the featured collections from Paris Fashion Week S/S09 have started to resemble things that I’ve been consumed with. Take a look (all photos provided by style.com):


I spy cotton candy and neutron reflecting mirrors in Comme des Garcons Spring '09.


I spy reciprocal lattices, interference wave patterns, and Bragg peaks in Dries Van Noten Spring '09.


I spy one half of a high pressure diamond anvil from Maison Martin Margiela Spring '09.

I think I might be losing my mind. :P
