Egg Roles

Poopity poop poo.
I just had a LOT of egg rolls and beer. It's a fond pastime and a greasy experience. My mom would have her friend over and they would roll 'em up and fry 'em and we'd have duck sauce and soy sauce and mustard and laughter.

That's what the south is all about.

My kids are getting along strangely well tonight. The young man is saying all kinds of words with superb accuracy. I'm so glad these little turds aren't "different". That sounds pompous, but let's be real here: I'd rather not work harder than I already have to. I did just eat a bunch of fried food.

And here's the young man after dumping our cornstarch EVERYWHERE.

Lie Berry

We went to the library the udder day and it's new and feyncy (fancy). Library21C (that's 21st century, gang). It was loud when we went in, there were kids running around everywhere building lego rockets or something for a competition they were having. I was like, "what kinda libary is this?!" -like an old person. There are sewing machines, 3D printers, a media section with cameras, a green screen, an isolation booth for recording vocals and editing software for audio/video. The guy in charge of that department is named Roland, and our son, Roland, is the only other Roland he has ever met. I'm hoping I can take some free classes up in there, you can check out the cameras and lighting kits (they have some complete package thing you can take home) and make some movies. 

I found a better art app for the tablet, Sketchbook Express. It's free and neat and better than Sketch Guru. I made this lamp with it. It's our bedroom lamp. Ain't it sweet? We got this lamp from the thrift store, of course, but it had a different shade at first and *protip* we swapped it with another lampshade that was cooler.

Do you ever get excited and depressed at the same time, like, "oh man, I'm gunna live my dreams!" and "my dreams are stupid" simultaneously?

Bongos 'n' Such

Howdy.

I'm workin' on weird music and thought I'd take a break to write a blog about how much I love bongos, gongs, tortellini and wine.

A lot.

We all ate dessert before dinner tonight. I feel so powerful. In your face, society!

...alright, I gotta go eat some Tums, drink some Maalox, have a few crackers with manager's special discounted seafood spread and have a glass of Ovaltine before it's time for my late-night snack.

 Haha, here's a picture from our computer I just rediscovered. Enjoy?

MahMan

This household is getting really into Batman: the Brave and the Bold. It's the most ridiculous thing. Give it a shot if you have the Nutflix. I just now watched as he saved Lincoln from being assassinated. psh.

I gotta go make a cartoon. Seems like the only way to express myself to the extent I require.

OH MY CRAPS! Paul Reubens is a guest voice on this episode! and he's breaking the 4th wall hardcore! Season 3 Episode 13 BTW.

Peace out, gotta watch my stories.

La-La-Law

I love legal proceedings. I really enjoy sitting in a courtroom and watching the goings-on. I wish I was a stenographer sometimes... maybe even a lawyer. Gosh, what would I do with all that money? Oh yeah, I'd pay off all that debt from going to school. I wonder if I can pass the bar exam on a whim. I OBJECT! I'm pretty sure this lawyer guy that helped us out once was a total coke head though. I'm not talkin' sody pop.

Oh, I totally sort of built a play house with found materials!

I want to find more materials to fancy it up, I even have some left-over paint from a friend. It's pretty fun to hang out in there with candles and whiskey. #hobolife

We're getting some new neighbors soon. I met a lady and her 9 yo daughter, I think they might be it. They came to drop off some stuff right as we were putting together our hobo house. Boy, we must seem so classy. Our backyard still isn't the worst in the neighborhood, I'm pretty sure the people diagonally across the alley are cooking and/or selling meth. Breaking Bad has made me suspicious of everyone. Even myself... what?

I Don't Remember

I love cereal. Right now we have Golden Crisp (formerly known as Sugar Crisp), Cinnamon Toasters (a knock off of Cinnamon Toast Crunch), Kix (kid tested, mother approved) and Multi Grain Cheerios (something)

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT, we ain't got no milk.

Naomi was starting sentences with "remember..." I hope that phase is over. She asked a random man if he remembered her shoes with sparkly laces at home. Thankfully, he did not.

So, Arrested Development fan art  is pretty fun.

Here's a gem by an artist named Tessa Meier (she (assuming it's a 'she') actually has several gems):

I have a strong desire to get canvas prints of these to display.

I also had a strong desire to attempt to apply my own acrylic nails, but then I didn't want to spend money so I just stopped peeling/biting off my nails. It worked. It worked because I'm so cheap. I'll have to see what else I can accomplish with this new found trick.

Maybe I'll build my own real house out of found materials because I'm too cheap to buy Minecraft.

WakaWakaWaka

So "Georgia" by Ray Charles plays at work way too often.

I made a chocolate cake the other night from scratch. I had everything on hand, even stuff to make cream cheese frosting. No one should buy frosting from the store. It's not very good. Cool Whip weirds me out too.

My sister is coming to visit in a couple days, it's gunna be AWESOME! I got tennis rackets and balls so we can play tennis and drink 40s!

Roland is getting super cute and talking all cute and junk.

This is a super dark video, but you're just going to have to deal with it!

I went to the 6th floor of the building to go potty today since it was suggested by a coworker. So peaceful. They have a nice view of the mountains up there too.

I was peeking into an empty office space.

I watched "I Know That Voice" on Netflix last night. What a mistake. My desire to become a voice actor was already out of control and now... now I'm angry about it.
