WHAT A BUNCH OF SQUARES!

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/16/fashion/16TRADE.html?_r=1&ref=fashion

I want you to take a brief intermission from this post, and check your closet. If your anything like me, upon opening your closet, you were greeted with the soothing site of colorful t-shirts, solid and simple sweaters, as well as neutral and or earth-toned outerwear items. However, being the trendy guy I pride myself in being, im almost ashamed to admit that I dont own a single piece of shadow plaid clothing. Frankly, it's embarassing. In case you dont know excatly what shadow plaid is, its a subtle plaid pattern of black, grey, and white, and also happens to be a fashiobn must. Now that you know, go out and buy in the highest quantity humanly possible.

DECISIONS...DECISIONS

I intend to compose a music CD for my Kite Runner project. I chose this project because I was able to almost isntantly apply numerous songs to the different scenarios throughtout the book, therefore this project should be fairly easy.
