A minking good read

Popbitch might not seem the likeliest of places to hear about a book but I took a punt and was rewarded handsomely. This is a great humerous boys own style yarn. If you enjoy Flashman, Mark Gattiss, Tom Sharpe, Rob Grant etc then I think this would appeal.

Frack!

Just fired up season 5 and only after 1 episode I am reeling.

Bargain bookshop find

I can't walk past a discount bookshop. I was in luck today with this find at £3. It covers all the usual suspects and covers the subject matter clearly and concisely there is a great graphical timeline that puts the different design movements/periods in context. Its interesting to see how references to online shopping are somewhat outdated (it was published in 2001). Whilst I doubt it will ever make future volumes I would love Dr Melfi's preferred seat of choice, the Cosmo by Outer Limits.

World Famous

It was back in August of last year that word of Malcolm McLaren's Supreme collaboration first came to my attention, and it has been with some excitiement that I awaited its debut. Its exciting to see he has drawn on the Buffalo/Hobo period, which is hardly surprising considering this is a Supreme project. The shoes are an inspired production!

Not to be licked

I was chuffed to be give these totally out of the blue this week. They were released in January of this year and are a nice accompaniment to last year's US Post Eames set.

No longer so advanced but still wonderful

I was keen to get back into a bit of videogaming but the games need to be quick and the sort you can dip into when time permits. The Gameboy Advance fits the bill perfectly, especially those models that incorporate Gameboy backwards compatability. Its been a while since I've had a Gameboy, the first Advance model was my last back in 2002. When I spotted this NES edition I was smitten. An out dated machine paying homage to another outdated machine; anachronistic perfection!
