I’m treating all of you to a free Denny’s Grand Slam today. Just walk into any Denny’s nationwide from 6am-2pm today and mention “Clarence’s birthday” and get a free Grand Slam breakfast on me! Just my way of thanking all of you for all your support these past few years!
9h: Pod Hotel
ckck:
Click here to watch a video about Nine Hours, a new, beautifully designed capsule hotel in Kyoto, Japan. Capsule hotels have always fascinated me, but this is probably the first one I’ve seen where I’d really want to stay. It just seems very futuristic to sleep in a little pod, even if there’s no space travel or hypersleep involved. I quite like their minimalist design aesthetic as well (as seen above).
It’s odd that capsule hotels is still such a Japanese thing. I can think of so many times where all you need is just a bed to sleep in (like at an airport), and you have to pay a ton of money for a whole room and amenities you won’t use. The closest I’ve come to something similar was staying at The Pod Hotel in New York City, which has tiny little rooms with shared bathrooms along with very fresh modern design, but even those rooms were big compared to the capsule hotels of Japan.
Pod hotels seem like an awesome (albeit isolationist) version of the dingy hostels of Europe. I’d stay in one if I were travelling!
No, not me. I’m done with school.
My friend is taking a Marketing Research class at Georgetown and needs data for a project they’re working on about skin care products. If you’ve got 10 minutes, then help a sista out and take this survey. If you could reblog this too, it’d be helpful.
If you leave your email address at the end, you’ll be entered in a raffle to win a $25 gift certificate. All information will be kept confidential so nobody’ll ever know which lotions you prefer.
The deadline to fill out the survey is end of business on Thursday.
*I don’t mean to disparage my friend, but I think the sample size for the survey won’t be too large so you have a pretty good chance of winning the gift certificate :X

Jay-Z’s “On to the Next One” features a sample from “D.A.N.C.E.” by Justice!? I did nay know that.
If you get impatient, FF to 2:10 for the transition. “Under the = On to the”? That’s sampling genius.
While we’re talking about samples, this is what Kanye sampled for “Empire State of Mind”: The Moments - Love on a Two Way Street
