Yeah, an apron. A rainbow apron with hot pink straps. I could have never completed this task alone. MANY thanks to Miss CB for her expertise!!!

Destruction:

Weekend wonderfulness, now with Pinatas.

pinata filled with lollipops and legos

A first attempt...

Original stick doesn't work, bust out an empty gin bottle...

....and then pliers....

...add a hammer, a magic wand and a broom...

...and REAP your REWARDS.

Enjoying the spoils.

Cats:

Well, really only one cat.

"I'm loving this guys."

"Yes?"

You Understand

Alarm ( ______a.m.). NO. (yes)......noo. (YES). Sigh.(Okay, okay...)

Awake. Catch bus ( ______a.m.). “Good Morning!” 

Elevator up. Walk in ( ______a.m.). “Hello.” 'hello...”

Sigh. (Okay, here – now go, do). 

Resolute.

Begin (approx ______a.m.) (So long these days). It's not about the Time it takes! (I know, I know.)

- - - - - 

Slowly come to. Leaving. “Have a good one.”

'You too.'

Catch the train ( ______a.m.)

Refreshed. 

Ready.

Sit. Wait. Read. Sit. Move. (Such tired faces, Everyday.)

Here.

Relief.

Keys Out. Slow steps. (You know this way is harder?) Tomorrow; other way...

Home.

stream of consciousness

blustery, but at least i have my cat back.
photo edits and phone calls and missing people from everywhere....
my roots here are getting deeper and i don't want to leave.

we shall see.

also, this is my favorite movie of all time (most of the time):

 

 

my budget wants me to ignore my always-ravenous travel bug, but this quickly becomes difficult.
i'm glad people are coming to me this time.
this is the closest to home i have ever been.

How Chris colors a Human Ear:

So, winter in Boston - especially by February - means a lot of time indoors. 

Solution?

Coloring, of course.

ONE: Sensor Array

I asked Chris what he wanted to color. He said something in the ocean or Pokemon. Since I could not find any Pokemon battle scenes, I went with the human ear. I think he did well with it. He says this is a device to collect radio waves. Future Inventor: Confirmed.

TWO: Curves

Why color in a plain ol' villain, when you could make them GEODESIC? The lovely Julie Newmar outline comes from here:Catwoman Pinup.

THREE: Transporter Malfunction

KIRK: "Where are we Spock?" SPOCK:"Well, Captain. It would appear we have somehow ended up... in Funkytown."

Unexpected Dance Parties

.... especially when they involve tea cups filled with cheap wine, jumping on beds, conquering snowy mountains, singing along to bad music and, of course, spontaneous yoga, will always be near the top of my list of favorite things in the world.

Bonus points if one of the chicks in attendance secretly wants to be a DJ.

Got an hour to kill and some shaving cream?
point and click.

Recently, I've realized that:

Learning under a master is both humbling and satisfying. 

 I have started my Ashtanga Apprenticeship. This is a man I saw in India carving wood.Some things you can only learn by doing.

Moving into drop backs was not as bad as I thought it would be.

Ending each morning with backbending had been rough for a while. As soon as it got a bit easier, I had to start crawling up the wall. Moving forward....

Constant barrages of snow are pretty wonderful when you don't have to drive. 

However, helping those that do drive unbury their car is anything is not.

White board paint is one of the most useful things you can purchase.

 Also, using it increases the stock of office supplies which can be appropriately 'borrowed' from work.

Animation is fun to make in a tedious and addictive way.

Sketched and animated this GIF birthday card for a tall skinny man that juggles. I am happy to put a GIF on the internet that doesn't involve children falling into puddles. (Click to see movement).

Legal Exhibits are almost never as interesting as the ones you see on TV. No pictures, weapons, or tangible objects. The vast majority are emails. 

 Always. Document. Everything

Do I know you?

Faceless Composition by Lara Fairie

I found this test for face-blindness last night. My boyfriend and I were discussing the topic because we've both suspected that he has this condition for a while now. True to it's name, face-blindness is an impairment in one's ability to perceive, and thus recognize, faces. When he informed me yesterday evening that his new haircut made it difficult for him to recognize himself in the mirror, I thought it was high time to put our theory to the test.

It only took about 20 minutes to do and proved extremely interesting (well, it did to me anyway, but I live for this shit). Our results were hilariously different, and went a long way in confirming our suspicions. If anyone out there is as into the nerdy enjoyment I got from seeing these results, or perhaps just wants to know if a history of "not remembering" people has a reason, I'd suggest checking it out!


Feel free to share any results :)
