Powder Fresh

Been drawing/painting online lately. Been thirsty too. It's dry up in here! Bone-dry?
Like this skull I painted-

I know, I know, enough with skulls, there are enough skulls everywhere. But this one has a funky, disco, flower thing going on and I just felt like it.

Here's a fish too-

Livin' it up in his moist little habitat while I dehydrate. Psykopaint is also fun for editing photos. Here's one of Jason and I-

He's filling the air with his "dragon breath". The fumes are goin' right up my nose. Of course our eyes are red and glowing while this is going on. That breath is a terrible irritant. I would love to have shown you larger images, but the snipping tool no longer works for saving images from Psykopaint (very clever) and I have to pay a couple "Psykopoints" in order to save larger images to the computer. I'm sure there's another way around it, but I ain't got time fo' dat. So settle down. If you wanna join Psykopaint use this link:  http://www.psykopaint.com/?referal=187594 and we'll both get 10 extra points! YAY POINTS!

DOES ANYONE CARE?! JUST DO IT TO GIVE ME THE POINTS!!!   ...I really like rotisserie chicken. I gotta get some curry spice tonight. Mix up some mayo and mustard and curry spice, boom, you got some awesome dip for chicken, etc.

Payed

Jason and I have an inside joke that I'm going to share with you today.

Whenever one of us gets paid we tell the other, "Mama/Daddy got paid today and she/he gonna take her/his baby to da Waffle House and he/she can have anything on da menu up to $5/$7."

There was a lot of slashes in there because of the possible variations. Which probably made it less funny, but much, much more accurate.



So there you have it. I hope you had fun trying to read this stupid post with the stupid GIF all in your face!

Co-stanza

I did that thing today that Jerry told George to do: leave on a high note.

I walked into Randal's office, since everyone was in there peeping out the window at all the strong construction workers. I can't remember what I said, but everyone laughed real good, so then I said, "I'M OUT!" and left while everyone was still laughing. It was the best thing I've ever done in my life.

And nobody likes George. Ugh, now I need some shrimp.

We had an overnight guest last night, it was great to see Jordan Wood again. What a hilarious guy. I wish we had people over all the time. We have an extra twin bed in the kids' room y'all!

My Jason-husband is super doofy right now. I gotta go give him a 1990's wedgie. Peace-out.

Sir Mix-A-Bunch

Lunchbox: Beer, orange juice, amaretto.

Me: Just had one: Happy.

I really like our little home.

We just got a credenza today from the thrift store. Yeah. Credenza. We're adults.
Went to an Asian market the other day "Asian Pacific Market". Smelled bad, but I got used to it pretty quick. Giant spiky fruit and MSG. Found some thinning shears for $1.59. I've been looking for thinning shears! Didn't think I'd find them at that store. I guess Asians love 'em or something. Now I have thinner hair. Which is desirable.

Ugh, the thrift store, love it. Just got a Jurassic Park-Jeff Gordan coffee cup. Yeah, just one coffee cup with the Jurassic Park logo and Jeff Gordan's car...

I DON'T KNOW!

But I do know that baby corn is just baby corn. I thought it was a different vegetable that looked like little corn. It has a husk and all. huh. Seems like a lot of work for one baby corn. I just gobble them up like they're nothing special. I was wrong. Now I'm off to google water chestnut. What the heck is a water chestnut?

*Interesting note: after I published this post I got a butt-load of views from Indonesia. haha

Cornphlaque

Can't get enough <-- of that there track. This weekend coming up is going to be one day longer than most others. I'm thinking we need to make a music video. One with lots of close-ups of armpits.

This town has an annual hot air balloon thing this weekend too. Hot air balloons and armpits? Sounds like a plan.

I want to complain about being totally broke, but I can't. I just don't know what it's like to really experience poverty. I just don't know what it's like to actually be hungry. I'm pretty plump and comfortable. But man, I want these chairs Jason found on Craigslist! Hopefully they will still be there come payday. Because my plump fanny needs a sweet chair.

My sinuses have been gross lately. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!

Mostly in the red area displayed above. Gotta go eat a bean burrito now.

June: Gone Too Soon

Dang, I was hoping to never miss a month of blogging, but that ship has sailed. It's sad and I'm all gassy about it.

I would like to take this moment and reflect on all the months I've spent blogging prior to this misstep on my behalf...


...well, THAT was boring.

It's Friday today. I look forward to another weekend of excellent adventures. Perhaps I describe it that way because I have a little sad Keanu Reeves perched on my computer monitor at the moment. Subconscious 'n' junk. I want to take a walk. I'm talking to you Leann. A sandwich and wine - summer time walk.

Muse Kit

My girl kid calls music "muse-kit". No amount of correcting her has worked. I kinda love it.

>>>YO! CHECK OUT THIS FRESH NEW TRACK!<<<

             Sorry about that ^ 

Looks like a terrible Craigslist ad and I kinda love it. Hold on... I can do better:

$$$CLO$E THE LIGHT!!FREE DOWNLOAD!!!CLICK HERE!!!!$$$

There. Looks great/awful.

Yep. I sing all nice in this song called "Withdrawn". The lyrics aren't actually as violent as I initially thought, Jason writes with much symbolism is all. 

I found that tied up lady picture on Flickr in 'the Commons', where there are no copyrights and such. Who cares? 

TimmonEric

BBBLLLLUUUUHHHHH, I just love Tim and Eric!!!

April Compo:

Makin' wigs,

Wearin' wigs.

Tubby Guys

Ain't just twigs.

Delicious humor

Unattractive extras.

What's your dad like?

I wanna meet that dad.

So yeah... I'm excited for our new track to be released (under the band name: Close The Light) (Which is what Jason is calling his new stuff) (I'm trying to get more involved too) (I like doing all the visual crap) (uh...) (Oh yeah, the new song is top notch) (Seacrest out!)

Champagne Campaign

Hi.

How fun is typography? Lovin' it.

Started on some papier mache masks yesterday. One for Jason and one for me. Not sure where I'm going with them exactly, but I'm thinking they will be hideous. On purpose. 

I got some old newspapers from a coffee shop near my work so I could make stuff.

We have some excellent coffee in the break room now. I'm drinking it. Black even.

Udderly Smooth makes a good vitamin E cream. I like it for my hands.

What else, what else...

... I want to plant some basil and tomatoes soon. Maybe make some homemade mozzarella.

I found out it's really easy to make your own plant hangers. So I have to do that.

I have a strong desire to keep all kinds of containers that I would normally throw away. And those little plastic bread bag closers. And plastic bags. And I want to go buy old books and magazines to use the pages for decoupaging things.

... Oh, and now I'm a hoarder.  

Sell You Light

I really love looking through old emails and posts on facebook/the like. It's as if you're bringing out an old box of letters and pictures. Without having to decipher handwriting - without water marks, scratches or weird, sticky parts.

I just found an old email I wrote from March 2012 that reads:

"I just had a great idea for a party. We can pretend it's a wedding, but there's no bride or groom. We can make up a fake bride and groom, give them generic names and then send out invitations but when the person that's going to marry them (played by you) keeps checking his watch, everyone looks around for the people they don't know dressed in a wedding gown and tuxedo, but they never show up because they don't exist, so we eat the cake and dance anyways!!! And the people that brought wedding gifts can trade them with each other. hahahaha! BRILLIANT! Then everyone will be talking about it for years and saying,"I don't know why we were invited to George and Carissa's wedding, but they never showed up and I'm actually really glad I didn't have to meet someone new and instead, just had a great night with a bunch of people I did know whom also never met them... It was awesome."

I just love when someone posts pictures of people I know they don't really want posted. It's like a tabloid. "Guess who has cellulite?" "Stars without makeup!" and "Oprah's meltdown".

Anywho, I've been singing a little bit for my Jason-husband. There will be a couple songs to release shortly. Like, next week.

Pretty Sure

I think I said something funny the other day. I wanted to blog about it... but I've gone and forgotten what it was.

EnyWho- We found a place to live that isn't with relatives. That's exciting. We're signing a lease tomorrow. The "highly desirable" west side of town. It's a town home. Real nice. Although I'm wondering if it's haunted because the price is really reasonable. Right now it smells like fresh paint, but perhaps there's an underlying corpse smell no one is mentioning that I won't find out about for a week or so. Oh well, there's a dishwasher so it's worth it.

I'm going to decorate the crap out of that place. Bohemian, eclectic, and romantic. It'll probably end up looking like a clown turd though. The most we've spent on a piece of furniture so far is $10 and we have been given SO much! A bunk bed, crib, queen sized bed, dining room set, couch, dresser, all necessary kitchen stuff, your mom, and all kinds of UNnecessary kitchen stuff.

I have to say, this country is so full of STUFF that you almost can't live simply even if you never buy anything. The free section of Craigslist is full of STUFF. People are just telling you to come pick things up from the curb. At this point, I'm not going to complain. I'm glad there exists a Craigslist and thrift stores, but there will be a time when I realize I have too much STUFF.

-Which reminds me, I just bought a big box of stuffing. Mix up some ground meat,  an egg, prepared stuffing and some BBQ sauce, cook that log at tree-fiddy for an hour- that's gooood meatloaf. "I guarantee"

Did You Know?

To date, three humans have died in space, outside of Earth's atmosphere. Russian cosmonauts. I figured there would be more.

I suppose without the scary aliens that are in movies, space really isn't all that dangerous. Getting there and back is dangerous, but once you're there, you probably won't die until you try to come back.

COOL!  

Son of a Rambler

He's so super!

He has a sensitive side...

and a tough-guy side. "Why I oughtta"

and once Naomi is done being a sick little monkey, I'll probably have a ton of those typical older sibling holding their younger sibling pictures because dang, them's some cute moments right there. Now the goal for the rest of my life is to avoid making more people. Even though they're radical.

End of transmission.

January Ranuary Away

AH! I gotta write an entry this month! I don't really know why! PANIC!

Well, first off, I'm having a bologna sandwich for lunch and my car stalled on my way to work and I'm about to have another kid and I don't have much money (at all) and I won't be making money for a time and I'm not really worried. Plus, I got so much stuff for this new kid and the first kid (gifts and hand-me-downs) that I won't need to get them anything other than food for a long time. I also think the new kid will qualify us for food stamps -oh SNAP! (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)

 


Anybody got a minivan they wanna give me? I actually would rather not have a car. Public transportation is sounding real nice. Too bad it's terrible in most places. It takes a lot of work to be poor. At least I'm not miserable. I'm down-right excited. If we did make more money we wouldn't be able to hold on to it anyway. haha. Just don't mess with my 401k.

Am I right?
