Tuesday

Well I haven't posted in a while- wondering if anyone still reads my blog or not...

Still working...still tired a lot- nothing else new in that sense.
Someone at work told me something important today- that I think I should share-
[It's political so if you're not in the mood just skip this part]

If You never want Me to own my own home vote for McCain...
If You never want Me to get married then by all means vote for McCain.


[done]


Anyway I believe Tracy Chapman puts it best: "I have conquered hills but still have mountains to climb."

Haha

Well BATMAX was awesome- check it out if you can! See Chris's post for a more detailed story. Pictures to come soon!

On a side note- I found these- laugh it up it's hilarious!

THURSDAY!

In case you didn't know- today is the day [7.10.08] the "Teddy Bear's Have Their Picnic."

BORED

Thought I would update. Not much to do...almost 1am so I should prolly get to bed for work in the morning. People need to update their blogs- lazy butts.
I got my stimulus check today- too bad it's going all toward loans. Boo. o_*

21 days till no more APT life! W00T!

Genetic Leaps and Bounds

Spidergoats

Jellypigs

Holy crap- Spider silk and goat milk = Flac jackets [3 times stronger than Kevlar]

Green Pigs- bred with jellyfish.
They glow under blue light- That way they can track the glowing DNA when bred with other speicies. Check out the links- pretty crazy.

This just in!

Puffy has tapeworms. Gross. They wiggle like happy little rice waving in a sea of feces. Almost albino macaroni like. Just thought I would share that visual with everyone. T-T

Banana Phone

I do like Keanu Reeves- but sometimes his "airhead" attributes just shine through- and this image pretty much sums it up.

.::TRAUMATIZED::.

This weekend Chris and I went up to St. Johns to paint our future bedroom and bathroom. Pictures to come soon.

Weak of will turn away.

So right before we left St. Johns at nearly midnight we come upstairs from the basement gaming room to hear Chris and Catherine listening for some kind of disturbance outside. Sure enough they heard a chicken attack! So we head outside to find the poor helpless victim... Sure enough we find one and then another one! Crazy! We go over to the one- neck snapped- no punctures- no blood. We scurry over to the other hen and like same thing- but wait! This one was still breathing and blinking at us... so we turn her over to see if she is going to make it. She sits up- but still cannot raise her head. Her neck was broken but still alive and able to move- Sadly I had to watch her get shot directly in the head to be euthanized... which she then flipped on her back and writhed around for a minute and unfortunately had to be shot again because she obviously was still very alive T-T ZOMG.

Craziness eh? So we think it is a wild dog since they are obviously not killing to eat= just for fun. Either way we're going shoot whatever the bastard thing is! So sadly to say they are only down to one hen now...everyone else has been eaten or killed mercilessly.

Other than that- just work this upcoming week and moving stuff to St. Johns with every trip up there we make.

Kites with Carolyn

Thought I would post some photos of Carolyn's visit on Father's Day- Kite extravaganza! The kites were crazy big and weird shaped but totally easy to fly- I was impressed I didn't have to run like crazy to get the kite in the air- you pretty much just drop it to the ground and it does all the work.
Enjoy:




Chris and Carolyn posing for Vanity Fair.




Carolyn working it. Chris eyeing the goods.

A view of Spring

I thought I would post some photos that Chris and I took right here at our APT!
Enjoy.





Chris having fun with the cows.



Cows are so intelligent.

HOLY CRAP!

Weezer's new video- holy insane viral videos and e-lebrities! I can't believe Weezer tracked down all those people just to be in their video. Amaing- check it out!

Weezer "Pork and Beans"

Torren and mom will prolly know the most- sorry to everyone else!


"These shoes are 300 fucking dollars- Let's get em!"

Bros before Hoes

I thought this was worth at least a little laugh.

T-T

Well bad news- I didn't get the job I applied so hard for- but that's ok- it just gives me more motivation to move on from my current company onto better things. Of course they gave it to the person who worked there 4 months before everyone- so I guess seniority rules over creativity. Don't worry though I'll keep an eye out for my designs and if I see them, I will sue the company for everything they have.

I mean everything.


On a better note= I just got back from visiting Ohio this weekend. Which was fun- moving is getting close so I am looking forward to not living in this crap hole anymore. Not to mention I sold my couch at Beth's garage sale! W00T!

As for me- a much needed nap is in the works- so 80's dancing Humpty and I are off to snoozeland.

FUKITOL

I found a new medication my mom can take! Then again maybe I could get a prescription as well. ^_^

THIS IS SPARTA!

Mother's Day Weekend!

Well to start things off we went to get some pictures taken with Chris' family on Friday night and then went out for Chinese afterwards. Then Saturday was cookout and bonfire up in St Johns, along with some left over fireworks from Guy Fawkes day.
Then Sunday was an awesome Brunch in Howell! Here are some pictures from the weekend!
First up- I got to practice my first stencil art in the barns in St Johns. It says "When will my ship come in?" and it has a picture of a pirate ship- which the flag itself is kind of hard to make out. Next is some random shots of the night followed by some slow motion photography I was taking with everyone and their sparklers.








Chris and his S'more goodness.

Surprise party!

Megan at her surpirse party!



Admiral Baby and I.

It was a great time had by all- I think she was surprised!

Birthday Extravaganza part deux.

Well to go with last weekend Corey and Erin came over and took Chris and I out to dinner at Cancun- a fantastic Mexican restaurant. They then came over and baked me an awesome cake we celebrated with board games. Here is a few pictures from that evening...







Moving on to Toledo!
I went down to Toledo for a few reasons... one to attend a BFA show, and the other to celebrate birthdays! The BFA show was more or less a joke... sad to say but barely any of the faculty were there and the ones that were barely spoke a single word to me. I drove two hours to see one girl in the show= who ended up leaving within five minutes after I arrived. I'll make sure not to go out of my way to see old friends again that's for sure. However Amy, Andrea, and Kara showed up and that was an amazing time and I am glad at least someone cared to show up.
After the show ended at 8...even though it was to go til 9. The girls and I headed toward the Blarney Stone, an Irish pub downtown across from the Mud Hens stadium. I got my cover paid and a drink for my past birthday! yay!
Here is a great picture of my old drawing room- oh how I miss it!





Then on Saturday, my sister and her husband came down to celebrate our birthdays, mine a week late and hers a week early. We went out to lunch at Zingo's an awesome Mediterranean restaurant. I had a nice grilled chicken gyro. I'll take Chris there someday. After that we went shopping for maternity clothes and then back home to go out to dinner at Tony Packo's! It was a good time. Afterwards we went home for cake and presents!





It was a great night with lots of good cake!



Finally here is one of my presents from my sister and her husband- it holds our polaroids quite well!

Happy Birthday to me!

My car stopped working...and I had to get it towed to be fixed. yay. Thank god my parents are here to cover the payment until I can pay them back.

*enter emo sad face here*

Birthday!

Extravaganza issue:
So much to say! Well on Saturday Chris had class and I took the pleasure of sleeping in pretty much until 11am. Afterwards we met up with his mom and brother and they took me out to lunch at Ruby Tuesdays! and bought me presents!! Yay! Two art books- one being the 20th century art book- to match the other art book I have in the series- just two more and I will be caught up= One being the 500 self portraits and the photo book.
The other book being "Stencil Pirates" another book about graffiti artists and their trade. It also has tips and way to avoid the PoPo- not that I will be grafting anything soon but the slogan "Kill Sally May" does sound quite nice posted everywhere the eye can see. :D

Then afterwards I came home to nap for almost 2 hours in which Corey and Erin came over to take me out to dinner- this time Cancun- which was some amazing mexican food and Chris and I have never been. It was marvelous! Then afterwards they made me a devil's food cake and we played board games and got a little of the good times in with Jerry Blank. "I once cried when I had no shoes...then I met a guy who had no feet. Then I laughed... really hard." Sigh* my life would be incomplete without her.

Birthday over! yay one year wiser I guess.

Sunday:
Slept in again! and then off to Erin's apt to meet up with Corey and her friends for a little BBQ- which was also amazing. I got a little frisbee exercise in as well. It was a blast even with annoying children running around with fake birds....

so there you have it- a birthday update- of course when I go down to toledo this weekend there will be a part two of the birthday extravaganza! w00t! Of cours happy birthday to my twin too- Too bad you won't be able to come over next weekend too T-T Present is in the mail ^-^

Alanis

I know this is kind of old- but after Alanis remade "Humps" from Black Eyed Peas- she also did a Seal remix of "Crazy." I think it is fantastic! She also just released a new album and is now touring for it- her first new album since 2004. Should be promising- her new single is called "Underneath" check it out on the radios fools it is awesome!

Update

Time for an update- This weekend was a lot of fun- I spent Saturday up in Saint Johns- it was fun to go outside since it is getting nicer out. The barns were fun and I got to go in the "other one" that I haven't been in. I want one. Plus I got to dissect a mauled rabbit- which the only organs it has left were it's heart, one lung and one kidney...Awesome! We think Ming ate the rest. [dogs are gross]

Sunday my parents came up to have lunch and do tax stuff. We went browsing at Kean's and at the Antique market- it was fun. I made Red Velvet cake for dessert and it was pretty good for a box cake mix. It went really fast- but most Sundays do...especially with work looming on Monday.

Monday - after work Chris and I met up with Corey and Erin at Smokey Bones to chat and have some light appetizers. It was a great time- but hopefully Corey remembers to pick up some NORWEGIAN hand lotion.

Which leads to today- still trucking at work- and still off of overtime. It is nice for a change but hopefully we will resume in a week or so. Can't turn down the money at times like these.

Other than that just keeping busy trying to do some art everyday- and can't wait to be able to go outside all the time!

Suggestions

For those of you with dire needs - I have assembled a short list of birthday ideas. [punks!]

1. "300" The movie- preferably the best one. ie the two disc special edition- I know target carries it for around 22- bucks- but maybe it is on sale for more?

2. "Grindhouse"- Another movie featuring Quentin Tarintino's Movie- "Death Proof" and his picked up movie "Planet Terror"

Ok there you go- I'll update more if I think of anything- but I think for now I'd rather just go out to dinner or lunch or something.

Other than that- still on overtime- hitting our 3rd month of straight overtime and I doubt it will stop for at least another two months. T-T the money is good- but you know- as Yakko put it best on Animaniacs:

"Early to rise, early to bed, makes a man healthy but socially dead."

I can totally feel the dead part- haha

Anyway time for lunch- so I'll post more later.

In case you missed it!

Christian on Jay Leno!

Hilarious- Must see

Awesome video

Not for children-
Not work safe-
And only the very few will truly understand Carmen San Diego.

Update

Well since Torren posted his bday list- I guess I should too. Mine is pretty easy this year. I had started a blanket out of all the yarn scraps from the three scarves I made this winter and sure enough I am almost out of yarn :( So yeah maybe some yarn for my birthday- definietly no clothes or Chris will kill me. lol

Other than that- everyone save your money since I owe everyone money anyway. Party details will come shortly! Around April 19th which is a Saturday[also my birthday] But we shall see-

Other than that Easter is upon us and we all know what that means. Jesus comes out of his cave and if he sees his shadow we have six more weeks of winter...or something like that. [According to Chris :D]

Niecy Nash

Some great quotes from my weekend from the one and only Niecy Nash. [Clean House host and Deputy Raineesha Williams on Reno 911]

"OOooooooohh That's what I'm talking about."

"If your hand is open to give, it is open to receive."

"If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."

"Oh Mamasita Niecy"

Tomorrow is Monday- hooray...If you need me; Garfield and I will be in bed with our heads covered up.

BLah

Well time for an update= not too much going on here= lots of overtime still...which should hopefully slow down after march - and hopefully before may- until then I work about 50-60 hours a week. Money is good but I have zero time to do much of anything else. So I have to make the best of my free time these days.

April 25th is the upcoming BFA show at my old University- Courtney is who I am going to see since Helen had to wait another year. But I will go see hers too next year. So that should be fun.

Chris will be starting more classes soon which will be exciting since he will get a few steps closer to graduating too. :D School sucks though- but he will do fine.

Alright gotta cut it short time for bed!

RE: Weekend

Well I thought I would update something that wasn't a video for once. My weekend went fast but was really fun- Saturday I went to movie weekend at Chris's family and we watched "Tin Man" a miniseries on Sci-fi based on an alternate version of Oz [apparently written by the same guy who wrote Wicked] It was pretty cool and definetly the boob monekys made the movie. Check it out if you can! There was great food and great company and looking forward to the next one.

Other than that- sunday I spent cleaning and playing games- all before I have to get up and go back to work. yay! I can't wait til spring.

Rammstein

I am hoping a few people might find this as funny as I did.

Obama and Clinton Madtv sketch

This is why I love politics.

Yeah I'm famous again... lol not really

Enjoy the video and don't look into it too much- it's just for fun. Thanks to Arthur Noir for critiquing some of my work!

Been Sick

Well I have been pretty dead the last few days- to be more precise- I died Monday night/ Tuesday morning and resurrected on Wednesday just in time to go back to work today- oh joy. So yes the sickness has left me now- however I am still feeling quite tired. Luckily Chris has been taking care of me and running to the store late a night to buy me more tissues and aspirin.... ^_^() ...and chocolate. lol I don't know what I would do without him around to take care of me.

Anyway not too much else is going on with me- I think I might try to do more artwork and try to sell some pieces here and there- it's worth a shot I guess. If I can just get one celebrity to purchase my work I could be set! lol story of my life.
Alright back to work- I think I might try to warp out an image of Mark Brunetz as the one and only Mr. Tumnus. If it turns out good- I'll post a pic up on here- lollersk8tz [that is taken from the one and only david firth]

I put people on the map who have never seen a map.

well I guess it's time for an update! The wedding went great- pictures soon to follow ! I can't believe that all my siblings are married now- it's so weird- let alone I also found out I'll be an uncle this summer O_o amazing...


Anyway work keeps me busy and I try to play video games and make art as much as I can in my free time since it's nice to get into a rhythm and be able to balance everything.

I promise to update more since that is one of my new year's resolutions. Hope all are doing great!
