Crimmas party

Went to a Cartoon Network Christmas party located at a fancy theater. I found Pen on the floor in one of the screening rooms and said Hi.

Felts for Gallery Nucleus show

Some pieces I did for the Super Big Micro Gallery Show at Nucleus.

Lots of people did a ton of great pieces that you can check out here:

Here's a few photos of my pieces, courtesy of Lissa who also has a few things in the show.




Bird Buns

Deep sea fishing

Went on a fishing trip. I spent hours at sea with little luck. The one fish I caught was too small to keep and immediately after it was thrown back I threw up.

After pulling up the largest tangle of fishing line the fishermen had ever seen, Adam finally caught one little fish. It was so small that after we fried it up, it was half a fish stick's worth of meat. Tasty though.

If I ever go again it will be with a bag of ginger and a good night's sleep.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Zombie Attack!

It may be because I watched the pilot for "The Walking Dead", but last night I had a crazy zombie dream.
I was in the lobby of a tall building trying to get into the elevator because once I got to the top floors I would be ok. I was armed with a special laser gun that explodes zombie heads. The worst part was that these zombies shot back. One with bright pink hair got a hold of a gun and started firing at me. The dream ended just as the elevator doors shut with me inside. I guess I made it.

Candy Time

I dressed up as a scientist from the show, "Look Around You"
I got the lab coat at comic con with the purchase of the season 1 DVD.

Tar Pit Wedding!

Went to a lovely wedding at the page museum this weekend. Ate a blue bone shaped candy and unknowingly walked around with a bright blue mouth.

The Godfather

During a 4 hour lecture on the second half of the Godfather, I couldn't stop my stomach from grumbling. It sounded like an upset cat. Unfortunately the woman lecturing was trying to point out the film's sound design.

Huge Avocado!!

At an Asian market I picked up the largest avocado I have ever seen. I think it's a Florida variety. Not as tasty as a smaller one, but it has lasted for days! I think it must be the equivalent of 8 regular avocados. Ridiculous.

Gordon Ramsay is crazy

I don't think he can talk without making this gesture.

In a hurry

The other day I was leaving the rest room in a hurry and smacked right into a girl around the corner. I had so much force going that I took an additional 2 steps even after we collided. What can you say after that?
I said, " Sorry, I couldn't stop"
It was true, but it didn't make it any less embarrassing.

Comic Con Loot!

Dear Quatty,
Here's the stuff Adam and I brought Back from the Con.




Grrrr...

Another one

Felted Birdie

I've been making felted birds! Here's the first one.
I'll post pics of the others soon.



Hope you had a good 4th!

Citrus

I choked a bit on my breakfast orange. Sometimes they're extra juicy.
I coughed at my desk for about 10 minutes.

Jessica's Wedding

Congratulations Jessica!

Mammy's day

Love, Scoopy

It's My Burfday!

Too bad I don't have this outfit anymore to celebrate it in.

Thanks for the yams Quatty :)

P.S. Behind me was a game of pin the lips on Sonoma, our cat. The wax lips were one of my party favors.

In transit

This month's micro gallery show has the theme transit.
Here's the little piece I did for it called "passing time"

Mac Mini

I had to get my mac mini fixed so I took it to a little place called los Feliz Hi-Tech.
A very friendly guy named Brandon took my sick mini and checked it out.

I watched him check it out behind the counter. He even used a stethoscope. I thought that was funny. He told me he was listening to a clicking sound which meant my hard drive was busted.
In the end I lost all my data. But I would recommend going there if you have a mac.
Ask for Brandon. :)

Adventure Time

Sitting on the floor watching the sneak preview of Adventure Time with Adam.

Freaky

the other day I bought a pillow from ikea. Later that night around 11:30 I remembered I had left it in the trunk of my car. Since my car is parked right next to the recycling bin, I thought i'd save some effort by unwrapping my pillow right there. Ikea rolls those pillows pretty tight so I was struggling with it for a few minutes. Suddenly a man comes running at me from behind a house shouting. before I even knew what was happening he started apologizing by saying, "oh man, so sorry, I thought you were this burglar who came and stole my bike the other night. I thought you were him. I heard someone back here and I was gonna catch him this time"
It happened so fast I didn't even have time to freak out. I was just stunned there holding my half unrolled pillow tube.

I finally met one of my neighbors.

Guy in the parking lot

The other day I went to work a little early to get to a meeting. I was slightly in a daze so it took me a moment to register that it was a little unusual to see a buff dude with no shirt on in the parking lot. It looked like he was picking out what shirt to wear that day. My only thought was to look away as soon as possible so he wouldn't think I was staring.
Did he drive to work shirtless? Who gets dressed in the parking lot?
It's a good thing I usually arrive later.

Snow Muto

This little guy was from the last Micro Gallery show. It's another piece made of needle felted wool. The show was winter themed so he has a bunch of snowballs in hand. Due to the rosy cheeks, many people thought this was a cute little girl. I let it slide.
Some people liked it so much they commissioned me to make one for them. I might set up an etsy shop and see if anyone's interested.
