Eco Fashion: light up umbrellow



Designer Sang-Kyun Parkhas introduced a new umbrella which lights up. I know, could easily be thought of as tacky right? Well here's the twist, These umbrellas take a practical every day use to alternative technology by using the kinetic energy in raindrops to power the ligths inside of the umbrellas. Instead of having a childish light bright set up the soft white glow is actually very pretty. If that marketing technique didn't get you then there is the other aspect of the umbrella, saving lives on rainy days to make drivers more aware of pedestrians. I searched the internet for about 2.5 seconds looking to see if i could buy one...then decided to go to bed. topmen.com is having a 50% off sales some amazing clothes. that is all ;}

Since the economy is in the toilet

(lame joke patent pending)

It's the week after christmas so your probably looking for something to do with the piles of money you've got lying around. (lies) So why not spend invest it in the perfect Valentines day gift.
"So two months from now"
"I know right?"

You just try and find me something that goes better together.
Pee & Poo has opened an online store where you to can buy these oh so classy tees, along with toys.

And who wouldn't want their daughter snuggling up to a life size pillow of shit?

Late Night

Sometimes between the hours of 2-5 in the morning my brain tends to get…a little weird. My friends have noticed this if they after try and wake me up, it usually ends with me screaming and saying something strange. I specifically remember this being an embarrassment during sleepovers “I’m NOT wearing underwear!” really isn’t something you should yell in a room full of guys. Sometimes at odd hours my brain decides to become a sit com writer and random, and I mean RANDOM scenes pop into my head from nowhere this scene appeared as I sat on the toilet without any reading material…
“How could you write these lies about my daughter!?”
“Ok first off lady, you need to get off my front porch, second I merely misquoted her it was probably a typo”
“You wrote that I regularly help douche her!”
“Look lady it sold papers and besides who cares if people think you have to douche her vagaygay? It’s not like she’s going out”
“You said it was an interview on how she struggles with her handicap”
“Well maybe she shouldn’t gurgle when she talks cause globglrflagr brealihfa can be taken a lot of ways…”
“she has a cleft lip you bastard!”
“lady I’m gonna have to ask you off my front porch”
Which made me laugh and caused my parents to ask why I was laughing in the bathroom ( this was at the reasonable hour of 11 at night as opposed to 3 in the morning).

This is why I hate home. I can’t drive, the internet is sucky, I’m stuck ON A CAMPGROUND SURROUNDED BY CORNFIELDS and although I love my friends, their cheap as fuck and most times won’t make the trek to middle of nowhere to pick me up. I then sit til 4 in the morning watching random shit online, download music, and write. g2g just downloaded season 1 of Rick and Steve. Ooo I just found eggnog and rum in my parents fridge!
fuck my life.

215 Style Section


The glorious, all knowing, uber cool 215 magazine has recently opened a brand new style section. Yeah, it focuses on cheap styles, do it yourself looks, and basically an entire list of reasons why your ass has no excuse for not looking fly during the holidays. So check it out, click the pics and philly keep up cause you never know when they'll be on the streets.

This is NOT personal blog

So I've been on this train for 3 hours now. It's the Philadelphia train to Elizabethtown and it normally should take about 1.5 maybe 2 hours. Were now traveling at 40 mph, we've lost 2 brake's due to ice, 1 train car, and most of my patience. There is a red headed child literally swinging from the ceiling while outta my head. Thank GOD she took a note from Ashley and is only lip singing. She's now shimmying on the floor and her head is dangerously close to my knee. Her ANCIENT parents are simply sitting there and laughing at her "adorable" antics while I pray for patience. Seriously girly, your 10, one of the most obnoxious ages a child can be AND you have red hair. How in the world do you have the balls to be that obnoxious and not expect to be beaten.

The only way I'm making it through this train ride is the dreamy piece of fine Alaskan meat sitting next to be. The guy is right outta college, decided to live in Alaska and is coming home for the first time in 6 months from hiking, fishing, skiing, and camping every weekend. Why do I know this? Cause he's sitting next to me and has been regaling me with stories of his last encounter with a Grizzly and what you’re supposed to do in an Avalanche ( which apparently is a common casualty in Alaska). Meanwhile I've been staring at his muscles the entire time deciding whether they’re due to his rigorous work or that the only thing to do in Alaska is exercise and drink.


Post train ride recap

For the record, yes I did “accidently” bump my knee into that girls head, she cried, I acted like I just woke up from sleeping and apologized. I have no regrets, earlier today I denied 2 homeless people change on the way to the subway. If Santa is gonna screw me over this late in the game, it’s already been done.

The Alaskan man smiled at me for doing it and I creamed my pants.
I learned that more people are mauled by moose in Alaska then bears.
Most people in Alaska HATE Sarah Palin and think she’s a redneck.
While he showed me pictures of his journeys in Alaska (an excuse to snuggle up to see the screen) he showed me a picture of his girlfriend, she’s really hot…bitch.
I got home at the glorious time of 10:15. I got on the train at 6. Fuckmylife.

What Do You Get When You Mash-Up Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, Soulwax, A Funky Santa, And Those Lights That Change Colors At The Ice Capades?

Blogs about blogs. someone stop this.


Culture, blogs about culture, satirical blogs about culture, blogs about blogs, blogs about blog culture, damn.

Well, here is another one. New top blog to discover, hysterically laugh at high, and then immediately get bored of after 3 days. Fuck you, Penguin is what happens when built up aggression towards your family pet gets left unchecked. Check it.
I can tell you have some kind of grand scheme up your sleeve, Beaver, or you would if you were wearing a shirt (if you put on a goddamn shirt, I'm going to fucking go apeshit on you). I haven't figured out what it is you're planning yet, but beavers don't just go around tapping their fingers together like an evil genius for no reason. Look, I know you are jealous that we make way better dams than you guys, but that's no reason to plot for our complete and total annihilation. I'm not quite sure yet how to react, but I've got my eye on you, Beaver...

Also, your tail is showing.

Whats with Lily?

Lilly Allen has been making headlines the past couple of days with her ever-changing style. Can we just have a lookback at her style?

"I like to mix different types of cultures and fashions, cause i'm an individual, the dress says i've got style but the shoes say i'm still the punky girl you guys can party with..ya know?"




Remember that time she couldn't afford Coco Chanel and made her own? Shoot...i can't afford coco either. issokay lily. Huh, looks like everyones trying to get their shit together. well played Lily, well played

Feature of the Week


Human Stain is a gloriously inappropriate online feature at www.215mag.com that highlights sexual misdeeds, terms, and is a like an urban dictionary on crack. Every time i go on it i'm delightfully disgusted by the things they talk about. For instance, today's topic word is:

The Muffstash-
In order to attract the oral attention every kinky ware wolf desires, an exceptionally furry female prunes her pubic hedges in the fashion of a Johnny Deppish facial hair and solicits a lonely homosexual to passionately embrace her bearded beaver with vicarious vaginal kisses.

Aqwrd Twitter

Aqwrd Musings got Twitter ya'll. Don't worry its just another project i'll eventually bail out of. but for now it'll make me look like i'm actually texting someone important when i'm in public. (of course you guys are important, don't get crazy)

So go to www.twitter.com/aqrdmusings and add me

Sock and Awe



We all saw the video, pretty bad when even Americans were cheering for that Baghdad with a vendetta. But heres the the best part, someone made a video game so we can watch the magic over and over again and participate in it. Too bad they don't have computer games in jail. Check the game out at

Christmas...


is a time for holiday cheer and booze. I'll simply provide the music. Who doesn't love a cutesy christmas melady by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - All I Want For Christmas

Seasons greetings

Self-concious conciousness

How self conscious can we as a society get, with blogs about cultures, blogs about blogs, and blogs about blog culture someone has to start living and stop judge.....oh ps its not gonna be me so don't get excited. But the day is nice, Philadelphia is smiling upon me and yes, finals are finished it's time for a little adventure.

I truly wanna see Synechdoche, New York the critiques are raving about it, and it seems weird as fuck. what else could i ask for? Well, the Ritz is playing it today at 4:00 and 9:45 and i plan on being drunk by 8 so i guess its time for a midday flick. (not THAT kind of flick i think Paul Rueubens taught us j/o in theatres is just a bad idea)

Check out the preview for Synechdoche, New York and get introspective ya'll

ctrl_alt_dance

Little booty robots shakin their shit on the dancefloor, yeah, on the dancefloor.

Stuart Bury directed this little art project of Max Justus's ctrl_alt_dance. It makes me think of that warming feeling you got after you beat NES's Sonic at 4 in the morning. Watch these adorable robots shake it and download his album Five Leaping Leopards



Here are two of his not so recent songs.

The Muppets are coming back to tv!

Lies...


But seriously there was a Muppets Christmas special on tv today and i missed it. Fuck Finals. Personally this is was aqwrd musings are all about. The Muppets Show when i was little was a important part of my childhood and a fantastic babysitter when the real one got drunk. Frankly semi sexual situations with puppets can never be wrong (look at Avenue Q). Celebrity guests, singing, and two old people shitting on everything anyone on stage did was a dream. pure and simple.

Getting to see Kermit in a Christmas sweater is enough of a reason to watch it. Classic fun.

Bonus points for watching Madison Pettis shamelessly fawn over Gonzo (guarnteed million bucks every time she throws that giggle around)

Pot Psychology

"You can't have seamen lying around"

I love their show although i usually only watch it about once a month. Pot psychology is basically...two potheads giving advice. wow. How many of you have come up with the idea to tape yourselves fucked up and give advice out. You probably don't remember but you've done it alot. stupid pot head. They answer questions such as "do abortions hurt" or "how do i prevent queefing during sex" Send in your questions to potpsych@jezebel.com.


How Can I Prevent Queefing During Sex? from Pot Psychology on Vimeo.
It's not exactly an original idea, the only difference if their shit gets published on Jezebel.com so everyday thousands of readers get to watch two people toke up and give orders. Check it out.

This is not a personal blog

This is a picture of the washing machines I’m forced to use in my luxurious north philly apartment. (Sarcasm is hard to type, but it’s there) Anyhow at any given time one of the washing machines won't work and will simply eat your money. I of course continuously forget which machine works and which doesn't so have learned that the best way is to track which machine has the freshest soap spilt on it. Gotta love Philly

Other luxuries of my apartment include; close proximity to 3 Chinese takeout stores, a trash alley, and a local charming hobo who is willing to sell anything to you (not to be trusted) but is mainly used for drunken entertainment.

Lily Allen's The Fear

Hell, atleast she's honest. Lily was douchin it for a while, but this video just brought her back in my book. The deadpan, i don't care look she gives the entire video with cutesy electropop music in the background reminded me why she's the shit.

She's a party girl with a, bad habit. bad habit for drugs

Have yall heard of that documentary about Australian high school students? I want a musical about my habits when i die. Heard its real funny, crazy Australians.

Gashlycrumb Tinies


D is for Desmond thrown out of a sleigh.

Cakelovesyou..um..i mean SugarCraft new collection

Whatever the name they make some tastey tastey clothes. Their winter collection is still fresh but a little more casual. Stuff that you might actually get away with wearing during the daylight hours. Imagine that. Peep the collection and check out the neon.

MAINSTEEM OR WETDREAM (i can't tell)

So their is some serious talk of some M.I.A./Diplo foolishness going on at the VMAs between both being nominated for some serious gold. There's alot to say about that ish.

A. How fucking awkward is that gonna be with both of them onstage? I mean ex's arn't exactly the best thing to bump into at the movies, let alone um..onstage?
You think they'll play post breakup/post preggerz videos? Maybe a little recap of their career. oooo drama



Seems like a good time. Wonder if that means alt music finally made it/sold out/time to find a new medium of expression for myself. ugh. hate when i have to redefine my life.

I'm pretty sure 2k9 will the be the year of the Canadians

Purposes and Points are stupid

Remember that quirky girl from Harry Potter Luna Lovegood?  Personally I found the little thing adorable and Evanna Lynch played it perfectly. Reminds me of this chick in high school who never really talked much, but when she did the most random things would come out.
 
"I was playing the dirt yesterday and tasted the most peculiar thing"
 
there really isn't a proper response to hearing that in math class...there just isn't.
that is all

Gather round kids

Holiday posts annoy me so i figure this is a great way to build up towards Christmas.
This is what my Grandchildren will hear years from now...

"Shut up children. I'm not reading you a fucking Christmas Carol so you may as well stop whining. The Tele is out (yeah i wanna have a british accent when i'm older) so i'm just gonna read you this old Edward Gorey book every day up to Christmas before bed. No your mom said she'd be back late, don't wait up. Oh and Basil, I wouldn't go out in the woods tomorrow."

A is for Amy who fell down the stairs.

Life throws us into various circumstances. Why can't i have a backpack that reflects that.

TUSC RAIL JAM


So it's a Wednesday and your in between classes. All the normal spots are taken for that mid-day high and you don't have another class for an hour. Suddenly your CC apartment isn't that cool. Lucky for you What's a rail jam you ask? How embarrassing for you. It's when the T.U.S.C. gets a truckload of snow. dumps it in the middle of the bell tower and grinds on everything made of metal until they're never allowed to do it again.
In other news, free swag. nough said.
