Self Portrait Tuesday

♥ Comments (11) ♥

ok i’ve dug them up and out of the box they have emerged. In high school my 35mm camera was my third arm. I belonged to the photo club too. total photo nerd.
My friends and i used to do so well in photo class we’d finish assignments and get to go play in the studio for hours. this would result in tons of weird photographs.
such as my two friends yelling LET"S DO THE WILSON PHILLIPS! volia! circa 1989

circa 1988 me at the Dunes

next week a series of photographs depicting my atrocius wardrobe on the very and i mean VERY early 90’s. stay tuned next week for the HEADACHE DRESS!

♥ Comments (3) ♥

thanks again for the nice birthday wishes. especially katy she made me laugh really hard with her superb math skillz.

here’s some stuff i got:

that hockey jerseys only look good on those big beer guzzling d000ds you see at the games. or on hockey players with all their big padding.

some stuff and things now editited for your pleasure

♥ Comments (5) ♥

1. i taped project runway last nite and refuse to look at the messageboards i frequent until i watch it.  I still think santino needs to go, even nick pointed out he uses a thousand trims and makes everything the same. The judges pointed out he’s too much of an over achiever. anyways i have this to say GO EMMETT!

2. The Flyers beat the blackhawks last nite 5 to 2.

3. i also am happy invasion is back on again, life is good. (also taped)  i couldn’t help but watch this instead of saving it to watch with nat. this show is going in a really scarey direction with all the follower/leader/weird religious cues kind of stuff. Makes it scarey and somewhat intellectual for a tv show.

4. i am going to start a perfect pie knit along (the cat was let out of the bag by Erin)

5. i wish the trend in clothing would be exactly what resse witherspoon wore in the movie walk the line so then i could then die happy.

6. i want to do a lady elenor and join this knit along over at Jillian’s and i completly forgot i could have sheeps HOLD the yarn. and i can go buy like one ball at a time. BUT i will not do it. i must do it later when i have proper fundage and stuff.  This will not be easy since i am going to valpo ( and sheep’s is open til 9pm) tonight to meet with Lesa click on it and look at her pretty pretty fair isle cardigan

7. i took a picture of nat and i in opposing teams jersey’s last nite to further prove the fact that hockey jersey’s only look good on fat guys, but nat didn’t have his camera cord.

8. i dug up a whole crap load of my past last nite looking for self portrait tuesday’s theme for this month. i will scan some tonight for that installment, late again. i simply forgot it was well TUESDAY. memories of highschool just came flooding back last nite.

9. why can’t i just find a wardrobe like reese withspoon as june carter in the movie walk the line say just laying around in the alley behind nat’s apt?

10. because all that lives in the alley are the rats, i bet they are really well dressed rats.

i got an early b-day present from Erin last week. I’m sorry i’ve been sick and feeling like total crap since last monday anyhow. but here’s what i got.

it’s THE HEAD! or a wigform! we were talking about how great it would be to have one to block hats with one day and voila erin delivers! she also gave me some nice vintage buttons and some snoopy stickers. the best part and i tried to photograph it but it didn’t work out so well is the card. Jess helped pick out the card, it has braille on it! it was simpky the coolest card i have received! i’ve showed it to everyone and it sits on my desk where i can look at it everyday.
what thoughtful gifts! now what could i get erin for her birthday? hmm.

i also talked to an inturd net only friend and he wanted to unload his copy of oldboy. for a mere five dollars look what i got! oh yes. now i can watch my favorite movie over and over and when hollywood gets their hands on it and ruins it i can watch the O. G. version in happiness. *sigh*

tomorrow i’m going to see the phillies take on the blackhawks. i even fished my old BH jersey out for fun. Nat might wear his phillies warm up jersey. should be fun.

who loves some cute things?

♥ Comments (4) ♥

go to Rachel’s little store and pick up some goodies like i did


i am most impressed with little details like the fact that she put my name on the tag of the snowflake cards, it made me feel special. it made me feel extra special she actually spelled my last name right. GO RACHEL!


here are some other cute things thanks to Jillian i found some of these, mostly because they are so effing cute


which i didn’t know i could ACTUALLY use on this little item i am knitting up

and there’s one more cute thing, lucy the basset is pretty long. she’s four feet of diva. we got her an official bed and tossed the blankie she was sleeping on. she curls up pretty tight


i call her a diva because she’s pretty girlie. She sits all girlie, she quite prissy about getting wet and the cold. But she is in actuality this big, smelly, dog. She gets atomic gas (tm) and her ears are crunchy minutes after she takes a bath.
i didn’t get a shot of samuel (beagle) she pretty much doesn’t play well with others and is the world’s most anti-social dog.
