BIGFLOP cupcake

I tried to use my bigtop cupcake for our social gathering tomorrow...and...it...turned..out..terrible!!! absolutely TERRIBLE!

Lucky for me and I can take joy out of terrible outcomes. haha


Fabulous! haha


alteration--
1)take off top layer
2)add an unholy amount of icing
3) add a sad face for emotional effect
4) add a sprinkle beard cuz I like beards.

Well it's new years eve and I'm not really into partying, so I'll be back with more posts! oooh exciting!

in between thoughts

I just woke up from a lovely nap and I had my new CD "Black Sheep Boy" by Okkervil River playing and although it is a nice cd, track 2 "For Real" stands out as far superior to the rest of the songs. Don't misunderstand, they are all nice songs, but it is always apparent which songs are the best. It is very rare for the disc to be compact (wordplay!) with every song being superb like radiohead-"hail to the thief". This is probably the reason why I am reluctant to buy a whole album because even though I like several songs from the cd, it is unlikely for me to like all of them and listen to them. I don't know maybe I should listen to the whole cd over and over and over and make myself like everything?? hmm. Do you know of any albums that are solid gold the whole way through? if so....TELL ME!



oh i made a hat last night with the yarn that i received for my birthday...back in September! I would link to the pattern but it is from ravelry which requires a password to view any patterns.






Also check out the scarf that I made for my roomie for christmas. I didn't follow a pattern I just winged it. Glad it turned out! and also glad that she likes it!



this picture is quite hilarious because as she points to her charm ( as read from above) she is holding a cup of coffee. lol.


I started on a hat today which is draining the life from me! KNIT WITH SIZE 1 AND 2 NEEDLES!! YIKES!!

It's gonna be pretty sweet when/if i get finished. ugh my hands hurt though (that's what she said) haha

productivity

okay I was trapped at my mom's place in OKC since wednesday!! It's not that I don't like my family, I just hate downtime. I constantly need to be making something or I feel like I am dragging. Today is my first day back at my house and I've already made a splendid looking hat. well...I'm sorta tired, maybe it won't look so splendid tomorrow...in any case, I'll post pics with a link to the pattern.

tomorrow's agenda: origami, another hat maybe? and start my ZOMBIE project!!

ALSO!! my roomie and I switched christmas gifts and I received some AMAZING gifts!! I will post a link to her page as soon as she posts it!!

oh and check out my second attempt at photoshop. Well it was mainly me asking my roommate tons of the same questions since she's a pro at photoshop. I need to focus! focus! lol



I may have an unhealthy obsession with Roger from American Dad.

I also made this with Paintbrush on the mac. nothing spectacular but i do like the colors i used.

ack!

I just purchased "Black Sheep" by Okkervil River and I am pleased. I have been debating on whether or not to purchase it for some time now but I found a cheap used copy. I guess this shows that it's good to wait? or something? ugh i don't know. anyway I have decided that I need to buy a new camera. this iphone camera is just not doing it for me. So, if you have any suggestions, please comment below ↓

I am going to fill up my flickr account before I go pro because I'm cheap and I can't believe that I've talked myself into paying $24 to post more fucking pictures lol. any hoo, I'll be offline until mondayish so enjoy all 4 posts that I made today. I'm sure you feel enlightened and somewhat motivated because I am not so...

also I was browsing through my friend's pictures and I found this photo of when I used to be skinny. I actually had to cut out my ex since he's the shoulder on the left. Do i look happy? i think i do. stupid. so stupid.

Still it won't change the same

Blink again the image won't change
Cry again the feeling won't change

Smile again and lie still the same
Fall again and crash still the same

For I, myself, forever won't change
So here the pattern rots, still the same

Scrabbled

They ( my family) are watching "a Christmas story". I hate that movie.
I have gone years and years escaping that movie and this year will be
no different. So I wrote a poem in the other room with my earphones
on. I feel that it poem is very forced so forgive me. I need a muse.
Some inspiration that tears at my heart. Something or someone. That is
what this poem is lacking. Honesty. Hmm I may end up erasing it if I
still don't like it tomorrow.

Quitely thinking with a numbing tone
Among all this panic that I unfortunately own

A resolution? A solution to all this clutter?
But how do I begin it? What words do I mutter?

So in my head I turn it and flip it
Reversing the order so I can better read it

But seeing the answer was not properly planned
As I choke back the realization of this destructive end

Nothing better

Is there anything better than sleeping on the hard floor with a pillow
that is designed for the couch? How about waking up every hour with a
freaky nightmare? Eh I don't really mind though. It's good to be near
the family. Ha I kicked my brother this morning and asked " how's it
feel to wake up on the floor and NOT be hung over. Hahaha. Yeah. Take
that. Hopefully I can voyage home today. I want to knit a hat. A
super cool hat. But first I need my supplies. Also I am dying to see
Sherlock holmes. Maybe today I can make that happen?? Anyone wanna
pick me up??

Snow dog

Ginger likes/hates the snow. Which is good/bad cuz we are surrounded
by it. Unfortunately my laptop is 30 miles away from me and my iPhone
can't upload more than 1 photo per blog soooo this is it as far as
pictures. I will upload more when/ If I ever get home. Also I got
star trek and 500 days of summer for Christmas so I'll be busy for
awhile LOL

the plan

okay i am off work until january 4th 2010. I am determined to get a lot accomplished in my much awaited time off. knitting, sewing, drawing, cross stitching, photographing etc. I have decided to go pro on flickr and I am going to reopen my etsy shop. Links coming soon...

I am also going to blog like a crazy motherfucker so be excited/scared?
