Where is everyone spending their time now? One guy has compared two pairs of white pants and bought some shoelaces. That's absolutely it today.
I don't have enough work today and my car forums are boring and I don't care enough to waste time on watch forums. I'm caught up on magazines and don't really want to zone out on my books.
So post up where you're wasting time, or buy some shit and talk about it already. Or just make fun of Gustin, jeesh!

I seem to have reached the point where I've bought most of the kit I fancy and anything else is just a frivolous waste of money. I like the look of a few IH pieces still, but the rate for UK buyers is up about 10% recently due to the weakness of the pound, so more than I think is worthwhile at the moment. I'm glad I bought a lot when the yen was low.
I've also gone off the pay-now-receive-an-unknown-number-of-months-in-the-future model, although G seems refreshingly consistent at only 2-3 months. Their new indigoxblack's quite tempting at only $89.

I'm slow here as well...
I'm spending most of my time lately searching the U.K. visa website, and talking to their customer service line for about $3/min. Trying to get a straight answer why I need to go to the British Embassy in America to get my fingerprints done for my work visa (Kinda..... It's actually a 5 year-old non-points based Component Status visa), when there is a British Embassy that has the same service, and sends the paperwork to the same end destination. Really trying to avoid flying to the States for 2-3 days just for fingerprints, because the closest bit of civilised America (Counts out Guam.....) is Hawai'i, which is about 14hrs of travel time. It would be paid for, but also a huge pain in the ass.
Imagine starting your journey on Monday at 8am, traveling for 14hrs, and getting to your destination at 7am on Monday, thanks to the freaking dateline

I'm supposed to be working on a web app, and i'm thinking through the db structure by refreshing gawker and gizmodo every 10 minutes to see if there are a) new stories, or b) new brilliant comments on stories i've already read. Occasionally i'll get up and put a new table on my whiteboard, then back to refreshing. I'm also contemplating a "Where the hell is my new MBP?" letter to Tim Cook, but it seems like surfing gawker is more rewarding. Oh, and I bought a red (pink) MiUSA v-neck from JCrew (40% off and free shipping): www.jcrew.com/mens_sale_events/40OffSelectStyles_sm/tshirtsandsweatshirts/PRDOVR~F3613/F3613.jsp |

You're so far from being the problem (aside from the albino jawns thing). |

Lmao! I think they're not terribly bad... Just terribly basic. I follow the sneaker customizer that UA brought in as a consultant/marketing tool, and he does GREAT things with seemingly "blah" UA shoe designs just by changing the color palettes.

Still here and even though it's slow, I'm enjoying the stuff you guys got posting/coming.
Today my boys finished 11th grade!
We always host a kid party on the last day of school.
Funny how the party's have changed over the past 10 years.
It use to be Dinosaurs and Robots now it's music and a checker tournament.

I'm tempted by the pinpoint shirt, especially if it's substantially lighter than their standard blue oxford. It's 77 degrees or so in LA today, but by Sunday/Monday, we're looking at 100+ degrees. On another note, Gustin just put up another Horween Chromexcel belt. Can anyone speak to how much Chromexcel stretches? I know other chromexcle belts are backed by leather that's more resistant to stretching, but this one is just a non-backed single piece. Chris |

i've been trying to figure out new and interesting ways to thwart one of my dog's seasonal allergies before she is just a walking scab.
and
deciding which car wash/clay/wax products i wanted to pick up. i only used einszett products for well over a decade, and with the new car will go a different route.

Today is my day to spend with my boy. He's napping now but we did go to the library and then Ikea for brunch. I've also been checking out sales online to see what's out there. Unlikely i'll buy anything but you never know. Steadbrook in CO is having a huge sale up to 70% off. They had the 3sixteen shadow selvedge type3 priced at $80 and of course it's sold out

I'm lurking. Don't really have much to add right now since I opted to slow my own spending to an extent. Been putting more money into being active (finishing up my new mountain bike build) and planning a few adventures in the surrounding states (around concerts and bike trails and whatnot). So my denim spend has been slow. I'm presently in on a $60 pair of Soso denim on their new Kickstarter, lucked into grabbing the last TS indigo star short sleeve Jack, and may pick up a piece or two over the next little bit (more summer/AZ heat appropriate stuff).
I did stop by Indigogene to scout out the shop and see what Manny has happening. No sign of anyone we generally all dislike there.
I've been venturing out and seeing more of the craft beer scene in the Phoenix area. Lot of new, quality options opening up.

Optimum No Rinse is my go to wash. Menzerna polishes and Optimum Opti Coat for a sealant. nice. one of my goals is to keep it pretty basic, but i imagine i'll try a few products out. for this go-round i just picked up some duragloss 901 wash, a nanoskin mitt (which will never be used for actual washing, only a clay sub), and blackfire wet diamond sealant. probably won't look to pick up a polish product for a while. going to try some 303 for the plastics/vinyl trims in and out. any recc's for leather...would prefer 1 product if possible rather than a cleaner/conditioner combos |

I went with Meguiars products for the most but have not picked up any clay/wax products yet as I'm still trying to decide what brand I want. I've never used einszett products. I'm open to any suggestions you might have. Also looking for suggestions on any leather interior cleaning/conditioning products. I'm using a Meguiars leather cleaner/conditioner now but again, I'm open to any suggestions/recommendations. |
