School is hard, y’all

I don’t really know how much time it’s been since the last time I posted, but comments kept coming, so I thought I’d come back around here. School is hard. I’ve barely had any free time in the past month, let alone time to read and/or blog. Now it’s midnight, I’m wide awake, and I felt like writing a bit. Maybe some bullet points will make my randomness more “look, he can organize seemingly unrelated ideas properly” and less “look at that piece of unstructured prose over there.”

- I looked at pictures from Spring 2010 fashion weeks, and I was kind of underwhelmed. As usual, I loved Burberry Prorsum, Rag & Bone, Yves Saint Laurent, and (oddly enough) Alexander McQueen. As usual, I hated Marc Jacobs (Kabuki theater? Please, that disaster of a fashion show was obviously inspired by homeless people), John Galliano, and Louis Vuitton. I thought Prada was meh, as were most of the American designers.

- I haven’t had a lot of time to read lately, but I am becoming such a Neil Gaiman fanboy. He is awesome. I just can’t get enough of “Fragile Things” right now. I wanna be like him when I grow up!

- I used to think Marketing was a fun subject, something I could’ve done if I hadn’t chosen International Business as my major a long time ago. And the class was cool… for about two weeks. Now it is the most annoying, time-consuming, boring 3 hours of every week. Okay, maybe not the most annoying (Statistics takes THAT particular prize), but it is not enjoyable at all. I miss not having homework and/or quizzes every once in a while.

- I got a Chuck Bass haircut, inspired by awesome editiorial he had in the July edition of American GQ. I like it.

- I think I’m gonna add my 2009 reading list to this blog. EDIT: It’s done, AND it has Amazon links!

Dr. Who Chic at Marc by Marc Jacobs

Confession time: I do not like Marc Jacobs’s clothes. Fashionistas might say I just don’t get him, but still. I think they are overly crazy, and not entirely brand-conscious. Like, I doubt that in future generations someone would recognize this frumpy 80′s extravaganza, this pastel Grandma costume (tights and peep-toe shoes?), and this “Little House in the Prairie” ensemble as being by the same designer. I understand being creative, but designing clothes for a famous label should also be about being able to identify with it. That said, what he does for his other brand, Marc by Marc Jacobs, pretty much always hits the awesome mark. Some comments about his Fall/Winter 2009 collection after the cut.
