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 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

kyle's extreme.

wow.

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.
