Sooooo sorry Ive been missing. I was going to do a few posts before the new year but like an idiot I left my laptop in the central valley which has all my stuff on it >_< But it will be back on Thursday. Then I will be able to give you a full recap of my holiday experience that was full of germs, tamales, crazy Mexicans yelling, wrapping paper and oh so much more.
But until then.....
On xmas eve my family was watching the 'Planet Earth' series. I thought it was going to be like some lame documentary thing but it was AMAZING. Had I known sooner how awesome it was, I would have requested the whole DVD set on my list to Santa, but OH WELL. Most capivating were the undersea shots. So I give you a really baller octopus, a bird, and Nick Cave.
No silly, this isnt from 'Planet Earth', I was just making a connection, JEEZ!
Need to get me some Grinderman
Ciao

Be Jolly
Oh man.
Finals are done, school is out for winter break! I can't believe we're at the end of the year already.
Anyway, today I worked and given the fact that there is one week left before Christmas, working in retail has been absolute hell. Um hello people, its about to be Christmas, can you stop being assholes FOR ONCE??? Gawd.
I only have to work Monday and then I have a week and a half off, which I absolutely cannot wait for. Its gonna be awesome :) Especially since work has been killer lately. Apparently Im not allowed to surf the web anymore when there aren't any customers so I basically have been resorting to make post it note art. I happened to find these cool pieces, I can't believe someone drew this on Post Its!
So awesome!
I got inspired and tried to make some of my own at work, but they just didnt compare. Oh well I'll have lots of time for art next semester, Im taking a depth oriented psychotherapy class, which is all about sandplay, mandalas and creativity in general. Im also going to be a TA for my art therapy class that I had last year. Yay!
So in more somber news, I heard yesterday that Captain Beefheart died. Now, I hadn't ever really listened to his stuff, I just knew he was highly influential to a lot of my favorite musicians such as PJ Harvey, and heard that his influences could be found in almost any kind of avant garde rock music out there. After reading a bit on him over at Pitchfork, I watched this interview that he did with David Letterman back in the day and concluded that Captain Beefheart was one awesome dude.
Of course now I find out about his awesomeness once he's gone. Maybe I can find some cool old vinyls, although now I bet all his stuff is going to be expensive as heck.
Is it Christmas yet?

21 Nom Noms
This was quite delayed.
Blame the people who wouldn't give me the pix! This isn't all of them but rather some photos I think highlight the evening.
My roomies made me a cake!
On the way to San Fran. Looking down in the dumps to prepare myself for the awesomeness later
Hey bar tender! I want this one!
Oh you need my ID you say? Here you go.
So basically Jenna said "Make a funny face!" and then she tricked me and didnt make one.
Ey yo, Seaniqua!
There was a bachelorette party behind us and the bride to be was nice enough to give me a penis straw!
Don't act like you aren't enjoying my lap dance.
Oh it's Cosmo <3
Heyo! Now we can legally drink together!
Things were starting to get a little blurry.
Silly Sean with his virgin drink.
YEAAAAAH FAMILY PHOTOSSSS
Rene n me
Poor Cosmo with his drunk girlfriend *hiccup*
Stupid straw.
Dinner, and the penis straw.
Aww thanks chef!
Being sad thinking about my whithering youth.
So Jenna was trying to take a picture of me but she missed completely and got the cutie next to me. I don't know, Jenna. Maybe you should consider your drinking limits. JK JK!! xoxo
So we decided to go walk around, and I thought it would be cool to stand like this.
We also found a phone booth. At least thats what I think I remember this was...
Mmm hmm.
back at the hotel...MMMM CHEAP WINE
JENNA! Stop trying to outsexy me!!
You owe your awesomeness to that hat.
Sleep is nice.
Anyway...I think thats it for now. There might be a few more here and there but yeah we'll see.
Hope to post again soon!

Holy Turkeys!
Happy One Day Before Turkey Day!
Even though my parents and I had to stay home in Windsor for Thanksgiving, Im still excited for all the good nommyness!
Anyway, last weekend was my 21st bday, so Im now officially old. Im working on gathering all the pictures together from everyone, so those should be up by the end of this weekend or so. But here is an early preview:
Yep.
Anyway, since I am now legally able to drink, the other night I decided to enjoy some cheap wine as I was doing an art project for one of my classes and here's what I made:
It's my interpretation of spirit and soul. A litteral representation,and Im the only one who understands it. Perhaps :) Im actually quite fond of it.
Speaking of artsy things, I saw this thing on google about a competition for microscopic photography, the entres were pretty amazing.
daddy longleg eyes
a rat hippocampus
a solitary coral
a living licomphora jugensil
a gubenator spirogyra (Im an ex bio major, I know what a spirogyra is)
a blue damselfly eye
a weedy flower
wild flower seeds
a weevil's face
a beetle's leg (my favorite)
Anyway, I will leave you with this wonderful short film that Jenna showed me. Enjoy and have a happy Thanksgiving with your loved ones!
How wonderful it is to fall in love.
<3
