movie review!

i had low expectations for "the fantastic mr. fox" since any unique medium-ed movie after "nightmare before christmas" really lacked a good storyline, due to it's novelty... but. this. movie. was. greatttt. i really enjoyed it, i was fascinated by it's medium, as well as impressed with the direction... and with roald dahl as the writer; the story line could not have sucked. go see it.

tourture?

i was watching a tv special on disney movies (in fact i'm still watching it on ABC) and they started talking about bambi, so i thought "OH i'll watch that after this!" (i have the VHS) but then they showed a 1/2 second clip of bambi with a tear in his eye as he learns of his mothers death in the dark setting and that was it... i burst into tears... i don't think i could handle watching it, like ever again.

remove your eyeballs to make use of this...

i don't know about you, but when i'm standing in front of the mirror cleaning my ears, i just can't turn my head the way in which this little light would be beneficial.

Vichyssoise?

no no, it's just goldfish flavored soup. gross. times three.

cut----it----out

since you can't put your old credit cards in the shredder, why not buy this extremely lazy product... which will probably break after a short while.

double boo to health magazines

i found it funny that these were the covers of mens and womens health magazines... stevon has a crush on ashley simpson (booooooooooo) and keeps pretending i have a crush on the jacob / twilight guy (also booooooooooo and wrong ps)

do supermarkets lie?

do you think there's a guarantee on this "scrumptious" pie? cuz i'd be pretty bummed if i didn't find it scrumptious.

sad fridge

we, in my family, don't have much money for groceries... however, chloe has a drawer to inform everyone else living there of our sadness

what exactly do they catch out there?

hmmm... this live bait sign was in the window of a gas station which was surrounded by woods... and no water.

come flies with me, let's flies, let's flies awayyy

my sister's friend has a fly problem, and unlike most people who hide things like this, she decided it would be more honest to her guests to have her problem hanging from the living room light fixture... anyone have any food that something can puke on when it lands?

sandwich monster!!!!

i made this sandwich at chloe's... it looked like a happy mythical creature.

airport cats

i was in the airport killing time, so i went into the discovery store... i found this handsome item of useless plastic non functioning crap for.... get this.... $19.99.

ok... it's fake... 200 human livers?

Anonymous Philanthropist Donates 200 Human Kidneys To Hospital after being confused about a previous blog posting (costumes for your girly boys) i watched this one, and have come to the conclusion this site is, in fact, fake.

google is anything but trouble

last night, 5 in the morning, i, againnnn, started thinking about the vague memory of this movie... all i remembered was i watched it when i was about 5 and there was a judge in it but a scary judge and a couple trapped... after a few minutes of remembering i started googling... and in 2009 you can get your answer to a question you cant even formulate yourself... in minutes. nothing but trouble.

costume cover up??? like bible belt style?

How To Find A Masculine Halloween Costume For Your Effeminate Son i was shockkkkkkkkkked when i saw this, and i can't figure out if it's fake or a show in like, missouri or something... feel free to clarify if you have the answer

je ne peux pas trouver la vidéo française

i learned some french at a young age because of a big green/blue alien.
muzzy tapes taught several language to children... but surprisingly, in 2009, twenty years after the VHS's were bought for me, they're not on youtube in french... bummer

emergency christmas suggestions

How To Prevent Common Christmas Disasters on Howcast

my friend kristin

disney does christmas, without mickey

i was telling danielle i wanted to see the new christmas carol movie, she thought it looked hoakie, and in natural danielle fashion, looked up the reviews... i believe she's been converted... as the review states how great the movie was and proved the skeptical reviewer wrong... scope it out here im really excited to see this, although i will wait to see it when i'm with my love... christmas movies alone are sad

a commercial that caught my attention

i just saw this commercial on tv and liked it so i looked it up... i'm reading the shining right now also.

what a trickster

here we are in 1997, i was filming (11 years old) chloe (9 years old) and i apparently thought it was hysterical... i think it's hysterical now for different reasons.

please come back!!!

poor jaime got sad when stevon was out of the car... cuz she loves her dad. but it's really cute when she cries.

honesty's the best policy

i (heart) vancouver

i recently had to vacate canada after three years there. this is how i feel. i miss my amazing boyfriend, my perfect pup and my beautiful cozy apartment. i'm very sad, but also in denial and have refused, for the past 5 days to believe i'm back in ny for real and have stuck to the pacific time zone, and will not unpack. take that.

RIP sewing machine. RIP

this is my sewing machine before it flew on an airline i will not reveal


and then this is after. i can no longer use it. it's actually unusable, there's nothing to thread through...ps, this is a division of singer vintage machine, circa 1920's. farewell. i will miss you.

uh duhhhhhhhhhhh

um. really? the i hope this kid is getting a college fund out of this show.

easy exercise

stevon plus bone plus dog

wow, touch screen pop?

in the mall yesterday i came across what i thought was a tv, we discovered it was, in fact, a touch screen coca-cola vending machine... however, when i wanted to see my options for pop, it wouldn't allow me to until i inserted my cash or credit card... i guess they haven't perfected it yet... but yeah, advertisements play at the top of the screen also.

under my um-ber-ella-ella-el....wait wtf?

i was flying yesterday, and in the philadelphia airport i encountered this girl who had an umbrella... and it was covered in crap... action figures on strings, stickers (which were peeling off, obviously from the rain) just covered... i had to discreetly capture this.

pumpkins on a smaller scale.

for halloween we carved pumpks... but we're broke so we got little ones cuz they're cheaper... and they came out cute! except my dumb robot one cuz i couldn't think of anything to carve...overviewthe best one, by stevonby me, for pollooogie boogie, by stevonmy stupid angry robot

hard drive. soft pouch.

i bought a new external hard drive, and the casing it came with was just a flimsy velveteen pouch with a drawstring... i need something sturdier than that, so i took an hour to construct something of my own with stuff i had... i took 4 pieces of felt (same size) and two pieces of padding fiber fill (a bit larger than the felt) and basically just made stitching with my machine... like a sandwich: felt-fiberfill-felt sew, then i sewed a patch on one and sewed the two together added some buttons and elastic and bam... sturdy case. from scratch.

once upon a time... i needed stitches

it was the first and only time i've ever gotten stitches... i jammed my arm into a bolt in my storage unit trying to get my super nintendo out... when i noticed it was bleeding, i got a little nervous.. stevon saw the blood and tied his sock around it... we went up to the apartment to have a better look... i could see in stevon's face that it was bad, and he said "yeah ok, we need to go to the ER cuz i can see the fat cells in your arm" so off we went...
after about a week, i didn't want to go to the doctor to get them out, so stevon said he'd do it.. so we taped that too.
it was fine.

the most creative milk container since the breast!

made by an alumni of the school my sister attended (Rhode Island School of Design) the company "Fred" has come up with this sweet little trinket... it's shaped like a milk carton and it pours milk!!! wow. so simple, yet, amazing. made of glass, this lil' guy can be picked up for $12.99 at any retailers carrier Fred product or you could scope it out here

the miracle of life... now in plastic

i was searching for croquis on the internet and came across this gem... the Full Body Pregnancy Simulator: LM-064 (with storage case)... however there are several different models available... scope it out here

a puppet who squeaks

as a child i grew up watching a popular british kids show "sooty" and although little cousin scampi was in a close lead... sweep the dog (who squeaked to talk) always stole my heart. have a look

this makes me mad more than anything...

so much stuff has been stolen from me in my life (i have like a curse on me or something) but this guy locks his bike to a tree, with box tape, in the middle of the city, in downtown vancouver... who knows how long it's been there, it probably still is there... i just can't believe it. for real.

link. not zac,

zac efron, not so much, but i heart link... im not sure why, but he charms my socks off in this movie (hairspray).

portfolio update... not to nauseate.

so in order to graduate from school, i had to complete a portfolio class... and have a portfolio show... the portfolio which i put together, i find, no longer suits me, as i've become dark and bitter from a year of unemployment (although it was cool, a pop up book). that combined with my external hard drive, which held the digital copy of the old on it, being stolen/lost/whatevered; i searched through every CDR, flash drive, and (most tediously) every email in my gmail containing an attachment (chyeah..do that. it's awesome) so i'm finishing up the last pages now to bring to the print shop tomorrow... this is what the pages look like.

oh, and a side note (about the header) when i showed my father the original portfolio; which took about 100 hours to complete, he informed me that it made him nauseous.

it was a really special moment in my life.

felicia's high school reunion?

god i hope not! chloe and i have always held this scene of "romy and michelle's high school reunion" dear to our hearts.. but with my own reunion only three and a half years away, i fear this will be where i'm at also, you know, trying to be a fashion designer in times of recession and all.

helvetica bold 24 point

i get super stoked when i download awesome new fonts, hence the accusation of "giga-nerd" - stevon... i find this clip doubly special cuz stevon wanted the helvetica font in his portfolio...

cat attack

here are a few awesome cat youtube videos... cuz everyone loves talented animals.

kyle's extreme.

wow.
extreme...extreme kyle.
he's so very extreme.
he's more extreme than stevon.

everyone's gotta eat...

first they found a mozarella stick and there were a few of them...
then somehow, they found a quesadilla, and there were tonnns of them!
welcome to the streets of NYC.

when you go camping with three guys...

things get weird. they had a sweat lodge and i'm not into that stuff...so me and jaime hung out... this is what i heard.

when you have to pee, and you're in the boonies.

so chloe and i really have to pee, we head into the women's room of a store in providence, rhode island (which i will not name)
my sister "ahh!!!"-ed and i started cracking up cuz we walk into situations like this all the time.. extremely gross public bathrooms and such... so i'm assuming she made the slightly horrified noise at the mirror falling off the wall and the blood-like looking paint/stain under the sink...
but then i almost pee-ed my pants cracking up when i realized she was actually scared about the giant bathroom with several sinks and mirrors, and one toilet.

squeaky toy... not suitable for dogs...

pollo.

everyone youtubes. everyone.

jaime.

have you ever guaged out your eyes with a fork?

cuz you'll want to if you make the same decision as me by reading all four of these books... don't get my wrong... i liked them, the first one best then less and less after that... but i mean, the 2000 approximate pages you read could probably be cut in half by taking out how many times bella explains how edward is "the most beautiful thing [she's] ever seen" and how she doesn't deserve to be loved by him bla bla bla. let's just say, four books later, i'm actually excited for my next choice... about the holocaust.

cute food

boredly, i typed in the word "cute" in google... i found this cute food website... i found this one cupcake that was up my ally due to it's witty narcissistic way... if you wanna see more cute food scope it out here

pathetic post-it

on the frequent occasion my sister and myself are freaking out to each other over how insanely poor we are... i went to her house and got evidence... this is her drawer in the fridge.

let sleeping dogs lie... or sleep walk...

one word.........awesome.

cat on diet... wait... no... in diet?

stevon found this and sent it to me... my life is better because of it.

::over and out::

so very unfortunate that i came across this treasure in my poorest of days... as $3.99 each was just a little too hard to handle... but this pair of walkie talkie watches had me debating for a while... i justified it with the thought 'this is savers, second hand store, it's possible when i put batteries in they don't work and i'm out $8' i'll be wondering for the rest of my days. however, chloe and i did manage to sneak a photo in the backpack and luggage department. semi-score.

garbage bag food ::yum yum yum::

going camping for the second time in my life in a week... the thing i'm most excited for? steaks marinated in garbage bags and cooked over campfire... and i'm completely serious... best steak i've eaten in my entire life. well done stevon... actually make that medium rare for me ;)

you may have saved up for that iphone, and forgot to save for a case...

that's why this "recession friendly" iphone case is handy at only $0.99 or 10 for $7.99! to buy one, or look at other neat-o things check out case-mate...scope it out here

knife not necessary!!!!!!

i was so stoked when i saw this in my sister's fridge... i was unaware of it's existence, but omg! hellmann's mayonaise comes in this spiff new bottle with a long slit, making it unnecessary to use a knife on your sanggggggggggwich! and since i, myself, am a gigggganic fan of mayo, here's their site, which has nutritional facts, as well as recipes... scope it out here

i guess you get what you pay for at the PNE

we went to the PNE / Playland where they had a face painting booth... and i couldn't help but capture this spectacular make up artistry... "the princess - $3"

hannnnnnnnnnnahhh montannnnnnnnnahhhhhhhhh

stevon's 23rd birthday party needed that extra special touch... so i went on a search for a very specific cake... it took four different super markets to find it... but there it was... Hannah Montana 24 cupcake cake shaped like a star complete with guitar shaped lip gloss... and... it was delicious.

before he was an animated donkey...

he was totally rad... with not only one of the greatest songs of all time but also one of the greatest videos ever made. so, small audience, i bring you... eddie murphy's (with rick james) "party all the time" 1985.

lunch meat for a week or.....

350 grams of gummy bear... it doesn't sound like a lot... until you're holding this little chunk of cavity... a gift to my sister, this lil' guy was worth noting... i included the "nutritional facts"
