North East Side versus Upper East Side

Continuing on with my marathon Gossip Girl watching (series 4 and counting) I am continually amazed by their wardrobes. I know, I know, it's television and it's not real life but let's just do a little compare and contrast to demonstrate my point. 

I am a full time student. I mainly work at home these days but this is my typical student outfit - slouchy t-shirt, check shirt, ripped and battered old jeans:

And now let's look at some outfits from Gossip Girl - these are people studying full time at Columbia:

I don't even have outfits like that to go to posh occasions! I only wish my uni wardrobe looked like that! Spot the scruff-bag in the room...

More Technology Wars...

Howdy

Thought I'd join in a little on the technology rant as I've just finished a cyber meeting (from hell!) with other people on my degree course. Now I love MSN messenger but as soon as you get 6 people online trying to make 1 simple decision all hell breaks loose! There's bitching and sniping from the most mild mannered people and lots of silent sulking too. The conclusion we came to - old skool face to face cannot be beaten for as well as a lot less misunderstandings there tends to be a lot more cake. Boo to technology!
