I'm a student from Norway. I like pretty things, funny videos, nice clothes, no clothes, the Internet and serious fucking business! Ask me a question or submit something corresponding with what I like.

BLDGBLOG: California City In the desert 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles is a suburb abandoned in advance of itself—the unfinished extension of a place called California City. Visible from above now are a series of badly paved streets carved into the dust and gravel, like some peculiarly American response to the Nazca Lines (or even the labyrinth at Chartres cathedral). The uninhabited street plan has become an abstract geoglyph—unintentional land art visible from airplanes—not a thriving community at all.
