BBC/Ice Cream Spring/Summer '09 Collection: New Releases

from Pharrell Williams’ clothing line comes the Heart & Mind pack: matching beanie hat and sweater. i like the belt better, the design on it is sweet. shame it’s going to be ridiculously priced.

The $70,000,000 St. Regis Penthouse

sitting atop the five-star St. Regis Residences in San Francisco, the two-storey Museum Tower Penthouse is a 20,000 square foot palatial utopia.

this reminds me of Bruce Wayne’s pad in The Dark Knight. it boasts (deep breath):

a doorman, inground pool, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 4 half-bathrooms, 3+ fireplaces, 5+ car garage, fresh hardwood flooring, and an in-home fitness center. it even has floor-to-ceiling glass walls and 360-degree views of San Francisco’s landmarks.

looking at the pics is making me have major hood dreams. now THAT is a lush pad. one day man, one day..

One to Watch: Davide Santon

having just turned 18 at the start of the year, and already being compared to the legendary Paolo Maldini after breaking into Inter’s first team, Davide Santon is having quite the season.

making the left back position his own (although naturally right-footed) after making his debut just only a month ago, Santon has won praise by respected footballing figures such as his manager Jose Mourinho, Inter skipper Javier Zanetti, and Italy coach Marcelo Lippi after a string of consistent, mature performances.

admittedly, i found out about him after scouting for youngsters to add to my Arsenal team in Football Manager 2009 (aka crack cocaine in a CD-ROM). he further caught my attention after coming through the unenviable task of marking Cristiano Ronaldo last Tuesday with flying colours.

he admirably dealt with CR7’s threat down the wing, and performed better than his more illustrious counterpart on the right, Maicon. his positioning is mature for a player his age, and can tackle with the best of them.

it kinda depresses me to write about Santon because i’m older than this kid and my preferred position when i play ‘sawker’ is left/right back. yet he’s making it in one of the biggest clubs in world football and i’m blogging at home, smoking a cigarette in the process.

but he has all the potential in the world to make it. and with a manager like Mourinho, he’s got all the tools to succeed in such a demanding situation. for that, i salute you Davide Santon.

What A Girl's Beverage Says About Her

if the woman likes a drink of Cosmopolitan:

‘She’s another high maintenance chick. She typically doesn’t go with the flow and tries a bit too hard to look sophisticated to the people around her.’

for more ‘cocktail psychology’, jump here and click on the pics of drinks for further analysis.

ATLiens - OutKast

on a chill Friday night (first time in a few weeks actually), instead of doing tedious uni work which i should really get cracking with, i managed to take time out to listen to an album i’ve read a lot about, but never got around to hearing.

oh. my. days. i can’t fucking believe i slept on this. this is one of the best hip hop albums i’ve ever heard. everything from Big Boi & Andre 3000’s lyrics to the production on each track is top notch. one of the few albums i’ve listened to that has no filler material whatsoever (and i’ve listened to a LOT of music).

it’s that good, my favourite track on the album keeps changing. no joke.

Lil Wayne claims to be the King of the South. T.I. claims to be the King of the South. Gucci Mane.. well..

they don’t hold a candle to Outkast. especially Andre 3000.

PS. no offence to Big Boi, but he’s not as good as Three Stacks.

Bonus: OutKast - Babylon
