Muse Kit


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


             Sorry about that ^ 

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


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 I sing all nice in this song called "Withdrawn".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

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.
