the hawkeye hoodie

Today I tried modifying a hoodie.  I've been thinking about making my own special hoodies for awhile now and Allison told me to just do it.  I decide to make a Hawkeye from the Avengers jacket.  I wanted to make the comic version of Hawkeye's costume, because it's a bit simpler. It was a little successful.  I bought a $15 hoodie from K-Mart.  Yes, I went to K-Mart, it had the best deal I could find.  Then I went down to Jo-Ann Fabric and bought a yard of purple fleece for like $6 (I had a coupon).  Then home to start working on the little jacket.  I made a pattern, cut the fabric, cut the hoodie, and then sewed it together.  The left side looks really good, but the right side didn't work out as well.  I'm not exactly sure what went wrong, but it didn't end up as high on the right side as I would have liked.  I might try and fix it later in the week.  We'll just have to wait and see, but here are some pictures of what I accomplished.  Hope you like it.

my type of classical music

From some odd reason I've really been into The Postal Service lately. It might not be odd, but it is to me. For someone who loves to listen to punk and hip-hop it's a strange departure. Sure the Postal Service has nice beats and smooths vocals, but that's not what I always go for. I like raspy male voice. Someone who has drunk their life away. That's why I like bands like Rancid, Bad Religion, and Say Hi so much. They aren't smooth, they feel like they have some life to tell. I know, Say Hi, isn't punk or Hip-Hop, but his voice is so amazing. I've been turning to The Postal Service more and more when I want something light to listen too. It's almost like I consider them my classical music. I don't know why, but I do. I just feel like who they arrange their synthesizer is how Mozart would do it if he was alive today. I personally don't think Mozart would be make classical music if he was alive today. Mozart would be more like a Hipster and be make grand rock and hip-hop operas. It would be smooth and amazing. I could see him teaming up with Trent Reznor and making sweet noise.

So what I'm saying is I've been listening to an album made in 2003 a lot lately. I've even though about buying on vinyl cause I like it so much. I use it to lift my mode out of the blues. I hope you can like it too. Maybe if you haven't heard of this little project by Ben Gibbard of Death Cab for Cutie and Jimmy Tamborello you can check it out. I like it a hundred percent more than Death Cab, but who doesn't? Probably Death Cab fans. Also I decide to give you a peak at Say Hi. I love this band. Saw them live and they do not disappoint.
