the human face, the hands, the hair
this is the first halloween in my life that i'm not dressed up, having a party, or going trick or treating. i don't know if i'm just becoming less fun, an adult, or both

2009-10-09T22:54:00.000-07:00

i am starting to care less and less each time i see flowers. the clouds, they are my new interest.

2009-10-03T10:54:00.000-07:00

do they even realize what they're saying? do they realize they're going back on everything they've previously stated? do they know what topic they are dealing with? congratulations, i had a meltdown. what else do they want from me?

fuck this, i just wanted a nice day.

2009-09-24T22:42:00.000-07:00

Mark Ryden, Mark Ryden, Mark Ryden

instead of going to battle of the bay like the rest of my school, i watched the office and watercolored something for erin, a decision i do not regret

2009-09-23T22:28:00.000-07:00

so i can print this in photo class, dont mind me

2009-09-22T15:10:00.000-07:00

Soon to be Erin.

aaand soon to be Erin and Pace.

I get to turn these beautiful paintings by Mark Ryden into photographs. I'm so excited.

2009-09-20T17:26:00.000-07:00

It is a pity when someone's photography turns merely into a documentation of the things they see and becomes devoid of creativity or personal flair... i hope i never go down that path

2009-09-15T19:17:00.000-07:00

"i'm sick sick sick to kiss you and i think that i would vomit"

only someone with a brain i could relate with would find that romantic.

2009-09-11T23:32:00.000-07:00

tonight was definitely one of the nights i'll look back on in a few months, and smile while thinking about it

it turned out to be quite nice, indeed.

I hope i never become a slave to work again as i have in the past week.

when i count down the hours until school begins, i feel like i'm counting down the time i have left to live. haha.

So, it's been awhile...

2009-09-04T21:59:00.001-07:00

I stopped blogging when school ended, and I feel like blogging again now that school returns next week. Coincidence? well, probably not; I need something to distract myself from homework. Solitaire and Farmville can only do the job for so long.
Semicolons seem so pretentious. I don't know why.

I have a huge workload left of homework before I delve into Junior Year. It's making my life turn into a giant dark cloud of hatred. I wanted to go play Animal Crossing at Alex's house, but no, I had to remain in my home and do work. My life is obviously terrible.

Except, I did go to The Huntington Library/Museum today. It was great! I thought the Getty Center gardens were phenomenal until I experienced the themed gardens of The Huntington. They also had the original Blue Boy by Gainsborough. And the original George Washington! I was surprised.

So, I've reached the point of this blog where I realize I'm talking to nobody, and now feel awkward. So, it's time to continue on the crusade of AP English homework in my dark room with Dan Deacon as my ambience...

Oh blogging, how I missed you. So comforting.

2009-06-06T23:32:00.000-07:00

Went on a solitary walk for a long time in the back bay today. One of the most invigorating and meditative things I've done in awhile. was necessary mmmhm

2009-06-03T21:17:00.000-07:00

I now possess a Nikon D70s! My uncle is pretty awesome for giving it to me.
Here is my first photo. I don't really know how to work this camera yet, so don't judge meeeee

Very excited for future photographings!~

Brutality conceived by stupidity, ignorance and the inability to accept anybody unconventional

Hello highschool

In all honesty, I'm doing pretty good, but the ways of this age are so exasperating

2009-05-20T18:48:00.000-07:00

STAR testing is finally over. The one thing I will miss are the numerous games of hang-man.

Berkely tomorrow. I'd be a lot more enthused about it if we weren't leaving at five in the morning, and even more enthused if we weren't driving there.

woop-dee-doo.

2009-05-16T23:20:00.000-07:00

Today felt like two or three different days. It has been going on forever.

Saturday school was unexpectedly entertaining. An epic battle laden with slurs and unjust hierarchy occurred between teacher and student.

2009-05-14T23:02:00.001-07:00

Today was just fine. There was hardly anything wrong with it. It was an ordinary day. It reminded me how lonely and sad I am. But it was a fine day. A perfectly fine and lovely day. It was a little chilly, though. Nobody cares. Today was just fine.

2009-05-09T20:06:00.000-07:00

I just took two tablespoons of Nyquil. Before I pass out, I hope to work on some songs and perhaps play the Sims

When I was creating a black eye for myself in the bathroom today, I heard Davis say from the other room that Full of Robots is a masterpiece. it made me obscenely pleased for about 15 seconds.

2009-05-05T19:59:00.000-07:00

that animal, i like him.

2009-05-02T20:00:00.001-07:00

How am I not an introvert? I'm so content to be alone.

Hey, Sea World. IT WAS NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!
except, i think you fucked up my phone.

2009-04-29T23:23:00.001-07:00

all i can think about is how i'll get to see Chief again tomorrow. FML; i'm officially one of those annoying horse-crazy girls.

stuff that currently suits my mood and pleases my eyes, on the offchance that there is somebody out there with similar feelings/eyeballs.

I'm really enjoying the sounds of melancholic music at the moment, but the melancholy isn't making me distraught. It makes me feel pleasant and pacified. I've been feeling oddly hopeful for the past few days, but it always seems like the good premonitions I have are the ones that don't happen. Well, I just successfully defeated the hope right there, didn't I? This prattling has already contradicted itself, so I'll stop now. byebye!

2009-04-26T22:31:00.000-07:00

Chiefing, Etsy, drawing, photos, Fleet Foxes, The Little Ones and Mates of State; basking in the lazy Sunday, basically.

^lame doodle; i figure if i post lame doodles here more often, the improvement will shine through the jungle of hideousness

^bought these babies today, among some other things

my back hurts, byebye!

2009-04-24T19:03:00.001-07:00

I came home with plans. I wanted to go see Chieferson, and then Alex was coming home today, so him and Davis and I were gonna play. I got home and I fell asleep, and Alex isn't coming home 'til tomorrow. I ges u can nevr b 2 shur.

Father: "Voldemart? What is that, a shopping center?"
*laughter ensues, Davis almost dies
Me: "Voldemort... is the villain in Harry Potter."
Father: "Harry Potter? How do you expect me to know about Harry Potter!?"
Me: "I don't know..."
Father: "OH WAIT! Harry Potter, he's the one that went on stage naked, right? And showed everybody his harry potter?"

wanted to draw a fashionable girl with her fashionable man friend, ended up making something reminiscent of disney vomit and an un-inked and un-colored sketch of a dude whose eyes never looked right.

Starting from September 2007 to last week.
The lifespan of "the group"!

there are many photos missing from events, but oh well.
i'm really sick today so i decided to crop and desaturate around 40 photos and stick them in chronological order, woohoo!

oh, look at Jen's blog, she has new photos from Jamaica.

2009-04-13T18:15:00.001-07:00

Too sick-feely to really enjoy today at all. As Jeff says, "I'VE GOT THE DISEASE!!!"

Why isn't Gossip Girl on tonight? FML

this is so similar to the last cat-with-legs picture I posted. wot tha eff?!

Freaking Easter. What a wannabe Christmas.

2009-04-11T15:25:00.000-07:00

The days have been going by really quickly with nothing spicy in between.

and today feels like Sunday! bummer.

2009-04-07T20:09:00.001-07:00

So, my dad got handed the bill at Zipangu for dinner about an hour ago.
He signed his signature on the receipt, and then his expression turned very confused as he squinted his eyes.
"Lizzy, I can't read this. What does their note say?" he asks, as he passes it to me.

I got so scared. Then I noticed my dad trying to suppress a smile.
Eff you, father.

I just remembered how at the end of eighth grade, I got a cavity filled, and once the process was complete, I demanded a present from my mother. I made her promise I could get what I want before I asked for it. I asked for a guinea pig.
I named him Murphy, he was my mom and I's secret from the rest of the family. He lived in a cage in my closet. He stunk like asshole. I couldn't handle him anymore and so I gave him to somebody else.

Horses are a lot more fun than guinea pigs. I mean, fuck, you can't ride a guinea pig.
...but it would be so cool if you could...

made this yesterday:

off to go shopping, byebye.

2009-04-04T21:01:00.000-07:00

Today and yesterday have been pretty pleasant... nice way to kick off spring break. What was that?! SPRING BREAK WOOT
ANYWAY, pictures are more fun than explanations:

picked this little fellow up from the swap meet. I like heem very much

Pablo gave us all little nifty gifties. I got these cool gloves. They're really fancyshmance

Obviously, my mom has a way with photography.

well, I've met my post's quota of Chief photos.
I'm super ready for summer and I am feeling really inspired at the moment. I'll create something tonight.

2009-03-29T14:22:00.000-07:00

i drew a thing.

meh, digital art is fun while it lasts, but i'm never happy with the final product. there's something a lot more satisfying about real media.

OFF TO GO CHIEFING! byebye

edit: i just stumbled upon this piece of art from someone... what the fuck. it's beautiful.

2009-03-28T13:58:00.000-07:00

So right now I've got a thirst for some adventure. I'ma do somethin about it.

later: I ended up not really doing anything about it.

FIGURING OUT WHAT I AM GOING TO DO FOR MY BIRTHDAY... ideas are welcome.

2009-03-26T21:54:00.001-07:00

Today's the day of old stories. 1st grade:

Ely Franky was the fastest and smartest lady in Utah. Ely was so fast she could run from Arizona to Ohio in one minute!

One day a man named Frank Jones Came to Utah. Ely saw how fast he was at snowboarding. She wanted to race him.

Ely and Frank made a bet who ever won owned the piece of land. Ely wanted peace to the land, but Frank wanted to make the people to be his slaves.

Ely and Frank kept tieing and tieing and finally Ely won and the land was filled with kindness. Frank was so sad He ran all the home.

I was so much more normal than Erin. Please read her 1st grade stories.

2009-03-26T20:22:00.000-07:00

I found a story I wrote in the grade of 6. Clearly I've always had a gift for writing... nawt

"The Inflatable Squishy"

"I want that one," I selected at the student council selling stand, as I gestured toward a squishy smiley face pencil cap thing(whatever it was).
"500 dolla!" Sarah yelled as she flung out her hand. I arched an eyebrow, staring at her.
"Fine," she replied, "1 dolla."
We exchanged the money and pencil cap right as the bell rang. "Aye aye aye!" Sarah yelled as she pushed the card inside the PFT.

Sarah is weird.

I ran back to class, my new toy in hand. I was so excited for some reason, now that I had jumped on to the bandwagon; I had just bought the last one at the stand. As I walked in class, I stuck it right on my pencil. "Oh my gosh! It matches!" I cheered happily, admiring it.
My table (well, the people sitting at it) stared at me. I smiled, my hand still resting on the squishy face. I did what anyone would do--I squished it.

I could swear I saw it grow like an inch in circumpherance. I also never thought I'd use the word "circumpherance" outside of math class.

I squished it again. Holy taleta, it blinked at me! I threw it on the carpet in terror.
"It's gonna kill us all! RUN!" somebody screamed as it grew.
"Call the terminator!" Someone shouted. I think I actually saw somebody dialing on their cellphone.

The yellow sphere of doom began to roll out of class, crushing everyone. Screaming filled my ears, and the ground shook.
"Not my fault!" I screamed, closing my eyes. The survivors scattered everywhere as the smiley grew up to at least 100 feet.
I stared at its Chinese-ish eyes, gasping. Then i realized... my pencil! Hallelujiah! Praise the ponies!

"Die! DIEEEE!" I screamed, lunging at it, my pencil's point pointing at the yellow menace.

*Pop!*

No more smiley! Nobody said anything. They were all in shock. The mystery would never be solved, but at least those smileys were confiscated from everyone who had one.

god... sixth grade me WOULD say "holy taleta" and "praise the ponies".

2009-03-25T22:06:00.000-07:00

In a Bright-Eyesy mood today... also feeling relatively Hot Chippy. it hath been awhile, bands.

Such a shame that Connor Oberst will be unable to grace us with new musics :'(

taught Chief how to bow... he is officially my biatch

sorry if you believed me. he's not that awesome yet.

aaand... i enjoy this secret:

WHO KILLED CHEEF?!

AANANRHRHRRRRRR

byebye

2009-03-23T14:16:00.000-07:00

paraphrased:

Me: Whenever I don't get much sleep I'm always so hyperactive! Oh my God!
Erin: Well, that's because your body is trying to make up the energy for you, and the excess energy makes you hyper.
Me: Is that... did you just make that up?
Erin: Yeah. I did.

---

Davis: I think I'm going to wear this shirt tomorrow, too.
Me: Oh... why?
Davis: I like it.
Me (whispering to Erin): I know why he wants to wear it. So his princess can see.
We simultaneously look up to Davis, looking back at us. He has a very unhappy face.

---

Melissa: Ohh MY GOD!
Me: What?!
Melissa: It's the pregnant girl!
Me (grabbing Melissa and Erin): Ohhh my God... there is a baby inside of her! You do not see that every day! Let's go kick it!
Erin: Oh my God! You WOULD say that!

---

Me: You know, if you comb lemon juice through your hair, and go out in the sun for a few hours, you get natural highlights.
Erin: Oh wow, That's cool. Let's do that! This weekend.
Me: Okay! We can bathe in the lemon juice!
Erin: Yeeahh! I can picture that, in a little blow up pool, bathing in lemon juice...
Davis: That... does not sound fun.

---

Me: Don't men like to be sort of dominant, or protective in the relationship?
Erin: Ask the man!
Erin and I turn to Davis.
Erin: Do they like that, Davis?
Davis: I don't know, well, hmm... For me personally, I like nobody to be the dominant one. Sort of a mutual thing. She has my back, and I have hers. We have eachother's backs. Because... Because I'm a bastard or something, I don't even know.

---

Erin: Aaaaaaaahhhh... You make me want to clench my fists.

can't sleep, nope.

While searching for blankets yesterday, Jen and I stumbled upon some old clothes. I found a really kickass silk robe thing that i will now wear whenever it is appropriate. I also found a white peasanty shirt with light blue trim; it was sort of funny looking, but I really loved it. I tried it on today and my mom exclaimed "You're WEARING that?" to which I replied yes, and she informed me that it was my favorite dress when I was, say, five years old. I'll still wear it anyway.

aaand speaking of yen, she has a blog now. it's cool. I LOIK IT.

I wrote a letter that I'll never send. There's no point in beating a dead horse. Unless you're Erin Purcell, I bet she'd get a kick out of something like that :)

(there was no insinuation there i just really think erin would like to beat a dead thing)

Sunday-day

2009-03-15T20:55:00.000-07:00

Had the NCL tea that Natalie and I were "in charge" of. all we did was arrive an hour early and eat lemon bars.
seriously, i don't want to see a lemon bar again for a long, long time... maybe.

it's so weird to see myself with hair that isn't dark red.

hmm, when i sat down at my computer ten minutes ago to start bloggin', i felt like i had something of slight profundity to say. now i got nothing!

well, thirty more minutes of waiting and i still got nothin. i'll go do something really important like decide what im going to wear tomorrow, or watch 30 rock. here's to hoping we have another tolerable week. byebye

2009-03-07T13:35:00.000-08:00

So, I've been up since 9:30 waiting for my brother to wake up so he can take me to go ride Chief. It's about 1:45 now. So in my efforts to occupy my time and simultaneously be productive, I have cleaned the entire house and crafted several flower arrangements.

i think he might be rising! I must go and see. byebye!

edit: i've done nothing today. quite literally nothing besides clean the house for an excessively long period of time and get ready to do nothing. what a waste of a day. ugh

Everyday feels like Sunday, baby

2009-03-01T17:04:00.001-08:00

So once again comes the most simultaneously stressful and relaxing day of the week: Sunday. Since my homework is done, I'm only feeling the latter, thankfully. Now I'm just waiting until I get tired enough to sleep yayy.

I'm feeling really buoyant and airy. It's a good thing, but the pessimistic beast within me is constantly reminding me of Sir Isaac Newton's "what goes up must come down". Maybe I can defy gravity for awhile!.. we'll see.

crappy tiny picture... I think I'm incapable of spending longer than an hour on a piece of art before i get bored and frustrated and quickly finish it.

SO BORED JOIUDFJOIUDFHIUDSHFDS

Quelle Semaine Formidable! jk not really but it was pretty nice

2009-02-26T17:30:00.001-08:00

This week has been pretty good, considering it was the return from ski-week. This week is usually filled with hate and stabbing, but not for me yay!
So, my family wants to move. I'm kind of stoked on that, because they want to move to a house with horses. mY dReAm CoMe TrUe!

I drew a really lifelike picture of Chief today (I was told the proportions are spot-on):

Oh, I've also begun to very timidly and experimentally have a go at photography.

Woo so this weekend we are dying Davis's hair darker and making an epic cake, besides that I'm not really sure but yeah it sounds, as they say in Australia, "noice"

au revoir, break

2009-02-21T19:41:00.000-08:00

"and i remember your eyes
how they saw right through me
and how that made me feel

so sick and bored with myself"

i'm very ready to stop giving a shit. au revoir pity parties; a bientot happy days.

pre-sad

2009-02-13T23:57:00.000-08:00

So, today is the kickoff of ski-week, president's week... whatever, we get school off for a week.
And tomorrow is SAD (Singles Awareness Day)!!! some people refer to it as "Valentine's Day," but i choose to call it the day that is more relatable to myself.
and according to mozilla firefox, relatable isn't a word and i'm really confused

"I think I'll just ask Chief to be my Valentine."
"He doesn't speak English!"
"It doesn't matter. He has to say yes; I feed him."

and i'm tired. byebye

eh

2009-02-09T20:48:00.000-08:00

i've proven in my life that i'm relatively adept at predicitons and premonitions. it's usually a good thing.
but when it ruins my mood because i predict being forgotten, it's not such a good thing

Sunday

2009-02-08T19:07:00.000-08:00

i went to alex's today

i'm feelin a bit better. we have school off in a week! yaay. i'm in bizarrely and unexplainably high spirits. thanks for working in my favor, unpredictable-teenage-hormone-induced feelings!

i spent a very long time creating this piece and taking in mind the symbolic and meaningful juxtaposition. see if you can find all of the symbolism in this incredibly detailed and meticulous painting.

alright, byebye

meh

2009-02-07T11:33:00.000-08:00

still bored. still sick. it's still rainy. hoping i will feel well enough to go to madison's tonight

i must annihilate the sick with the powers of entex

because

byebye

tgif?!

2009-02-06T21:08:00.000-08:00

EVERYBODY IS SICK.

i'm no exception. all i've done today is school, see chief for about 20 minutes, be sick and draw.
well, maybe i shouldn't say "draw", but "sketched several bizarre humans in an incredibly half-assed fashion".

the woman in the lower right hand corna is the most beautiful, i shall call her esmerelda~
every time i draw a human, it always resembles somebody, and i can never figure out who. it's so annoying.

in other news, zach condon is my new artist-crush (sorry kevin...)

how does the epic voice of beirut come from such a scrawny lil zach condon? it's almost as mind blowing as when you realize that jamie lidell isn't black.

BYEBYE

Winter Formal

2009-02-01T20:59:00.000-08:00

So, Saturday night was my first formal!
My only complaint is that it was waaay too short.

the "sexy funeral".

so formal was fun, albeit the too-shortness. although, we are the only ones at fault for that complaint: it took us about forty five minutes of wandering Knott's Berry Farm until we finally found the dance floor.

my grandparent's house is nice. i want to steal it.

that's the waiting room for their bathroom. they have a waiting room for the bathroom. let us pause and absorb this information, think of our plain and waiting room-less bathrooms, and grow envious.

hmm, i rode chieftain today and now i must begin my math homework. je deteste les devoirs algebre! >:(

mais je t'aime! :D

i know, i know, his neck isn't round and my heels aren't down and everything about my form is bad, but he looks pretty, i do say.

and i am out, have nice eves, readers (aka maybe erin and maybe pace)

Formal is afoot

2009-01-30T11:49:00.000-08:00

So, I'm still really baffled that Davis somehow won formal king (it's technically "prince" until you're a senior, but king sounds so much more kickass). It has not really registered yet.

This is how it went down: It's French class on Thursday, the last final we have for the week. Everybody is done with their test and a call slip gets delivered. It's for Davis. Now, most of the time, call slips are for confrontations regarding something bad a student did. Everybody knows this, so the obligatory "ooooohhhh davis... busstedd" happens when he went up to get his call slip. He leaves. About ten or fifteen minutes later, he slowly walks back in, with a really confused expression. One guy goes "dude, how was it?" and Davis very timidly replies with a "...fine". I'm just as confused as the expression Davis is wearing, and I ask him what happened. He slowly saunters over to my desk, and after a few moments of silence, goes "... I... am formal king".

...And he got so excited that he fell asleep.

erin tried to wake him up, to no avail

peace out biznatches, next time i write here i'll have formal'd it up

Finals week!

2009-01-26T19:15:00.001-08:00

(an artist's professional interpretation of erin and pace)

It's finals week, and everybody says things like "oh, I have my hard finals today, but then the rest are easy" or "I have my hard final tomorrow" -- dude, all of my finals are hard. I'm actually studying. I haven't studied anything this vigorously in... hmm... ever.

But that's okay, because this week ends off with, drumroll, winter formal! i didn't go last year, and I've already dragged my friends down with me into the depths of mainstream and conformity, so why the hell not go the whole way and get dressed up and pay too much money on looking good one night? it should be a blast, I say. The group is davis and I, erin and pace, and michael and katie. It is definitely a small group, but whatever man, at least we're going.

The funniest part about this formal thing is that last week, I rounded up a bunch of people to vote for davis for formal king--it wasn't necessarily a joke, but I knew in the back of my head that he totally wouldn't get nominated. BUT HE DID. HE GOT NOMINATED. If he actually wins, I'm going to cry with joy and in hysterical laughter. King Davis; is that not suiting?

update: DAVIS WON FORMAL KING.
WHAT THE FUCK? :D

i want to do something that takes my breath away

SHE FOUND THEM!!

mother dearest, she found them. I don't know where. but she did it.
Christmas has been saved.

it's so frigidly cold here (47 degrees farenheit. laugh all you want, non-orange-county-goers; to us it's fucking cold). it's raining so hard that i cannot even visit chief. :(
luckily, i have spore, of montreal, and these delicious peppermint sticks to keep me busy.

Christmas song of the day: Nutcracker Suite - Brian Setzer

anyway, i need to go do math. or at least pretend like i'm doing math.

Let's just say, i'm not a destroyer / Dec 14

2008-12-14T13:36:00.000-08:00

sundays suck balls!

but kevin barnes doesn't :)
well at least not metaphorically

anyway! last night i watched elf with amanda, alex, davis and erin. finally!! i've been waiting to see that movie for so long. i am never fully in the christmas spirit until that movie has been watched. amanda was baffled at the fact that i knew every word to "pennies from heaven" harhardsjfosdjfo.

so right now, alex is at the purcells', my parents are gone getting christmas gifts, and i'm sitting here listening to Of Montreal at a ridiculously loud volume, all clad and ready for when my mom can take me to go ride chief. at least i dont have to go to church anymore. :)

i'm pretty excited about my friends' christmas gifts. i hope they enjoy them. i'm excited to make cookies with my BIFFLS!@!@#!@#!@# tomorrow, and then making gingerbread houses and going to the bay club to watch the boat parade next weekend.
mmm! christmas spirit is afoot! i hope everybody else is feelin it. :)

christmas song of the day: I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm (Stuhr Remix)

hey! it's not so bad / Dec 13

2008-12-13T11:28:00.000-08:00

Aw~! Last night was pretty fun.

but babysitting this little nig was NOT fun.

ew. never again!

succession of the day/night:

^^i luv em i luv em.

Christmas song of the day: Pennies From Heaven - Louis Prima (absolutely cannot get this out of my head)

Break and Christmas are soon! :) very excited. spirits = risen. This month is finally starting to get the essence of Christmas Spirit. Have a nice saturday everyone~

idle, idle idle / Dec 11

2008-12-11T19:27:00.000-08:00

life is boring.

I wonder what I'm even waiting for?

Well, thinking short term, I'm excited for Alex to come home this weekend. it hath been far too long since I've seen that young boy's freckled face.

Christmas song of the day: White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes

okay, it might not really be a "christmas" song, but it's about winter, and i'm not feeling very christmas-y as of late. i need candy canes asap.
plus, it's a freaking gorgeous song.

have a nice weekend everybody. :) tgif, seriously.

not sure / Dec 9

2008-12-09T14:32:00.000-08:00

Flowers seem extra beautiful today. especially strange, color-altered ones in photographs. why do real life colors need to be so boring?!

Today was a relatively good day; it had all the potential to be incredibly bland but ended up not being very bland at all. It was extremely windy, though, so today gets a C-. It would have been a solid B if wind did not suck so many balls.

Also! Gossip girl was absolutely freaking heartbreaking. If you don't watch this show, watch it. If you mock this show and think it's terrible, watch it anyway. motha eff, it's so addicting, and makes monday not my least favorite day of the week. But yesterday is was so heart wrenching; i don't think i've ever pathetically cried so much at the tv for one hour.

Christmas song of the day: Frosty The Snowman - Fiona Apple

She has such a cute voice in this song. it's really reminiscent to Brand New Key - Melanie, which is an equally adorable song

Christmas Preparations / Dec 08

2008-12-08T16:04:00.000-08:00

I associate Christmas with lots of things.
Traditional Christmas music, green and red, hot chocolate, gifts, cheer, and the chocolate dipped peppermint sticks from Trader Joe's. It's all anticipated.
So I went to Trader Joe's today.
No chocolate dipped peppermint sticks.
If you know what I'm talking about, I'm sure it's devastating for you, too. Christmas has gotten like 7 percent suckier.

Christmas song of the day: Happy Holiday (Beef Wellington Remix) - Bing Crosby

inspiration board:

anyway... erin burned me Of Montreal's sexually delicious new album "Skeletal Lamping" and i must listen to it.

if you think this video is strange/amazing/bizarrely and undeniably intriguing, go to one of Of Montreal's shows. it's like this times 10, sometimes including penis or tittie-cakes. you won't regret it.

my BIFFLS!@#$@#$ davis and erin just made blogs. that's erin on the right, in this photograph of us. it was shot with her canon rebel xsi. davis was the one taking the photo, so he isn't pictured.
