Owls in the Navy

Yet some more down time amidst the winter break. I had a nice visit with my cousin and my aunty.

On Friday we went to San Franny and froze our asses off around Fisherman's Warf. It was good times though, walked around a bit, went into some art museums, had hot coco and ate these huge amazing cookies. I wanted to go see the Maurice Sendak exhibition over at the Jewish Contemporary Museum, but NO ONE ELSE wanted to. But none the less, it was fun times. Here are the high lights of the trip:
-mmm, cookies the size of scones at Ghirardelli Square.

-me acting like I was going to kick Sean in the crotch, but my pretend turned into a not so pretend when my shoe went flying off into his crotch.

-Auntie Lou giving her best impersonation of how a penguin with cerebral palsy walks...oh wait, thats just how she walks normally.

-My mom accusing my cousin Sean of looking at the Hooter's girls. Those of you who know Sean will know why that is particularly funny.

-My awesome new hat I bought


God I look like crap today. Oh well, I had to take all the ornaments off the tree today, and I got attacked by every ornament hook on the whole effing tree. But whatever, I have a cool owl hat right?

THERE'S OWLS IN THE NAVY


But other than that, life has been pretty relaxed. Yesterday I went to church with my parents and I made the realization that my mom is capable of making a totally appropriate (or HOLY for that matter) situation or conversation, into an inappropriate one. After taking communion, I noted that the priest had given me a particularly large and odd shape of communion bread. It was rather cumbersome to get it into my mouth (thats what she said). I noted to my mom "I could hardly fit it all in my mouth at once," yet another 'thats what she said' moment. But my mom one upped me by saying 'HIM in your mouth.'Now, I know the 'him' reference was implying that communion bread is representative of the body of Christ and what not, but god, really mom? It made me think about the time I had some dental work done and the whole right side of my mouth and my entire tongue were numb, and slurred over the phone to my mom 'yeah I could hardly feel his equipment in my mouth."

THATS WHAT SHE SAID!

Alright enough of that.

A friend of mine showed me this video the other day, I think this girl is hilarious!

Anyway, in other Im so fucking cool news, Animal Collective has a new video out for their song Brother Sport. So Im going to stop talking now because you need to watch it, its Animal Collective for christ's sake!!

Oh, it's gonna work out

It seems as though all our company has left the Graham residence for a little bit. The house is oddly quiet and I think it has finally hit me that the holidays are actually over. Which is...rather depressing. But HEY, I've had some good times these past few days.

Yesterday I went with my familia to San Francisco, a.k.a. The Greatest City in the Whole Fucking United States (lulz, my opinion is always the best, don't question me). My brother insisted on being our 'Chinese Tour Guide' as we drove around the city. Im not going to go into details of what that consisted of. I had a grand old time walking around Haight St. seeing all the crazies that never left the 60's behind, or at least didnt survive them. There was one fellow who had a hammer, and whenever the traffic was clear he'd go to the middle of the road and start beating the asphalt with a hammer. My sister in law Gabby said that was one of the oddest things she'd seen all day. Likewise Gabby, likewise.

Oh yeah, then there were all the hipsters.

hah, I have a zip up hoodie like that. I have it in red and in black, both with white draw strings. Im so effing cool, mang.

Of course while I was on Haight Street I paid Amoeba Music a visit. I love that store! Its like isles and isles of musical goodies! I bought M83's Saturday=Youth, which I'd been wanting to get forever, as well as 23 by Blonde Redhead.

I also began my vinyl collection. I decided to get The Velvet Underground and Nico LP, because I mean hey, everyone needs that album. Not to mention Andy Warhol produced it. Also, I bought a 45 of Mayer Hawthorne's 'Just Ain't Gonna Work Out'. I decided to buy that vinyl because A) that song is legit as hell, and B)the record itself is shaped like a heart, just like in the video.

The first time I heard that songs was about a year ago, but I had forgotten about it until a while ago. In case you haven't hopped on the awesomeness bandwagon yet, here's the video:


SHAZAM!


Came in a clear casing


Mmm, yeah I'm cool. I need to save up to buy a player now.

In other news...

HEY! Remember what I posted a while back about the octopi (since I guess 'octopusses' is grammatically incorrect and also sounds kind of gross) being all smart and shit?

WHAT DID I TELL YOU!! Don't fuck with them, man.

I found that at a site called Oddly Specific. If you're a fan of Fail Blog and similar sites, you'll like oddlyspecific.com. Basically it focuses on signs that are, well...oddly specific.

Damn, don't mess with nature, It will fight back!!


HAHAHAHAHAH! I think if you decide to engage in 'hooking', having your car taken away might be the least of your problems. Think about that.

I just found out that my cousin Sean and his mommy are coming to visit this week! Looks like I'll have some more funsies!

Hope everyone is enjoying themselves so far in the New Year. I know Pippin is.
