saving the earth through sheer laziness

as a level zero tech geek, i’ve been seriously torn between buying new gadgets and not contributing to the nasty crap that gets discarded in our (asia’s) backyards when i throw my old stuff away. that’s why i’m feeling last year’s model. it’s basically a bunch of tech geeks tweeting about how they’re gonna stick with the ipods, netbooks and blackberrys that they already own instead of upgrading.

it has a pretty sweet cardboardy look to it too!

update: had a convo with bridgette about this today and found that she’s doing a lot better at this than i am (being that i just bought a new berry).

cinco reasons why cinco de mayo is the best holiday ever

1. you don’t have to buy nada. no commercialism whatsoever - except for maybe sombreros.

2. your parents don’t care if you come over or not. in fact, they prefer that you stay away today.

3. tacos!!! the world’s second greatest cuisine!

4. 50 cent tacos and shots at elizabeth from 5-7pm.

5. mexicans are extra cool today. and unlike st. patty’s day, they aren’t going to make you feel bad for not being mexican.

6. mustaches.
