On Melodies

me (11:24:32 PM): one of the things about breaking the harmony...
me (11:24:35 PM): the more and more you do it
me (11:24:40 PM): the less dischordant the noise sounds.

_Shopping with Mel_

Once every semester, the retailers lining New Haven's
supposed "Downtown District" get together and have
College Night, with free food, giveaways, discounts, etc.

Little-known fact: store discounts begin at the stores'
10 AM opening, not College Night's 6 PM beginning.

For the past several College Nights, I have leveraged
tips such as that above into copping Nikes at Urban
Outfitters ([||] just for mentioning that store in this web
log) for 50% off the on-sale price, meaning $30 for
these and $10 for these.

This year I woke Melody up at 10:30 to go shopping
with me before the good items were snatched up; she was
a good sport and humored me.


Welcome to New Haven.






Tiffany Dunk SB lows.


"Smart" is "in".


ARAB sticker.


Pick-ups.


GR Court Force Lows


Warhol Foundation bag. Useful, as my laptop doesn't fit my other
satchel.








Adidas Comptown ST's







I was amazed how well this bike was framed by the bars of the railing,
and how the frame, grating, and weathering go together.



The angle of this door... dope.

Lunch with Susie at Yale Law School.






Sakura / 櫻 / サクラ / さくら


I've literally spent every afternoon this week on Cross Campus.
This is the new jump-off.
Dan Zheng, for one, lives here.


I'm sorry.
This is not the new jump-off.

SOAP tag, outside Woolsey Hall.


Adrian. Dude is mad cross-talented: a capella,
archaeology, foreign languages. Kid stayed with me
in China last summer for a few days too... double
occupancy in a single occupant room = how you got
to do it.


Indiana Jones as an intern.




Had to pop tags on 'em.



_Rhythmic Blue Show_

I ran into my girl Misty earlier today. Her dance
crew, Rhythmic Blue, holds it down for Yale on the
dance flo in a way that basically very few do.
She and my boy Justin AKA J-Smooth have been
doing their thing four years straight, and she hooked
me up with a ticket in in exchange for ushering
their last show at Yale with RB.





RB got mad large this last year


My boy Mustafa, CEO of Momuremasa
Records. Dunny just got his groove on
with RB starting this semester.

Got some vintage BAPE via eBay.


Fresh for 2000.


Bathing Ape Cycles is a sub-branded line of bicycling-style
apparel that BAPE releases occasionally. Since the late '90s it's
been overshadowed by the success of BAPE's flagship line.


The NV$N tee joe sent me with some other shirts matches
perfectly to the Espresso/Neon green colorway of this pair of
Adidas Comptown ST's I bought a year ago from
Commonwealth.

Nice.
