I just sold my bike...

...and I feel this gaping hole of loss. Right after they took it away I had a momentary panic attack. But now I realize that I may have a slight attachment problem and that there a lot of great bikes out in the world. Oh Peugeot I loved you so!

Anyways here are some long overdue pictures of the pinata attack.

Furniture is such a drag.

Weekly recap:

Monday: I don't remember what I did whatsoever. Oh yeah, I worked on those accursed puppet costumes while listening to Radio Lab, which I've gotten heavily into since finishing the last of the old C2C MP3s.  Perhaps I should subscribe again. 

Tuesday: I worked in Oakland for Larry. I did finishing work on costumes, made a wig of hair for the witch puppet out of lavendar yarn, painted and covered in fur the head of an animatronic cat, etc. Oh yeah, I must have made vegan enchiladas on Monday because I remember coming home after work and being so tired I just started eating out of the giant casserole dish.

Wednesday: I had fun day plans with Stewart & Ryan that involved thrift stores and reverse bleach tie dye but they were foiled when Kelli woke me up with an 8am call for a last-minute stylist's assistant job at PBK. It was on location, for a Christmas shoot, and slightly stressful as they always are. Some things I did: gift wrapped tiny little fake boxes (cut from pieces of cardboard) to put in a felt tree shaped advent calendar, covered candles in red paper, painted some paper mache deer, glittering (the most awful part, it got EVERYWHERE). Then me and Aurora took the BART to the (OMG cringe) "Huffin House" where Dimples the band was playing. There were lots of peeps there and it was fun but it kind of felt like  a stage set for a movie about an impressionable young art school freshman at a "wild" "warehouse" "party" "show". Then I slept over at Ryans, oh, we watched Zardoz a bit first.

Thursday: I woke up late but still very tired and gave Stewart a hair wrap. We got big salads in Berkeley and walked around and purchased a lot of sci fi novels from a man on the street. We picked the best covers which included a dragon coming out of a cosmic egg & a robotic dolphin.

We went to the Asian mall which was SO disappointing, because we wanted those Korean fish ice cream things but everything was Chinese. Then we went to this other part of Berkeley to get frozen yogurt. The best part was that they had fake pink berry flavor. We "strolled" and stole succulents. Then we came back to SF and went to Jack's for karaoke. I sang:

Bohemian Rhapsody with Travis

Crazy in Love with Dave

It was so super fun! sexy crazy party! I danced a lot and drank two Salty Dogs which is a LOT for me. Afterwards we went to Mike's and played Ratscrew with some seriously secret alpha-type aggro competitive types, which took all the fun out of it. We also played Police Sketch Artist. The criminals were:

Kobe Bryant

Matthew Mc Conoghay

Rosie O Donnell

I went to bed past 3am (Ryan and Stewart kept talking, those irritants) and woke up again at 8 to move the car and I JUST COULD NOT GET TO SLEEP AGAIN so I got up, meanwhile Stewart is snoozing away in my bed. !!!!!!!!

Do people really just get away with little amounts of sleep, day after day? It really affects me, I mean it's given me headaches two days in a row.

OOOMMMGGG!!! CUTEST PUPPY PICTURE EVER FOR EVERS!!!

Also, today I worked on witch puppet costume and made a fancy sandwich with two kinds of fake meat.

I forgot what summer was like.

Middle of the day showers, nights that feel like noon. 

I went to the eye doctor today and he scared me into a strictly regimented eyecare routine.  Sunglasses always outside, eyedrops four times a day, remove and wash contacts every night, I bought new glasses to wear sometimes to give my eyes a rest. OK!

Endless Summer part 1

I just got back from Petaluma. We went camping somewhere north of there with the Veit extended family etc. We went swimming in the Russian River and it was the best thing I've done this summer so far... so here's to upping the ante. There were rocks to jump off of, not super high but fun nontheless. We all learned how to dive. Also, we saw people tubing and they looked like a human sub-species so I'm glad we didn't do it. Also, there was this black girl with a giant wolf tattoo (frontal view) on her back and also Mickey Mouse shorts on so she was pretty much my hero of the day. I got an earache that almost ruined everything but it went away and we ate hot dogs and played police sketch artist, exquisite hippy corpse, "catchphrase", set, and other card games. It was super fun. Before we went camping me and Stewart watched lots of My So Called Life and ate Flaming Hot Funyons which are surprising delightful. If I am judgmental and mean I will get preggers so I am definitely curbing it these days.

All this in the first half hour of news!

talking ghost clown doll, orbs, PHANTIMALS.

Hi oops I forgot about you.

Hmm since Wednesday I went to an opening that was like a school reunion, didn't go to an opening I was supposed to (Communes bleh), had a picnic in the park with Eve and marinated tofu sandwiches, moved out of my studio with a wheely cart like an old Asian woman, made 16 pieces of children's art with Super 77, an almost offensively non child-like adhesive material, uuumm, didn't go to Game 4, finished a small flag for a traveling drawing show a la Emergency Biennial (how inspiringly unoriginal), went to two bars three times to visit two friends and their two boyfriend-slash-djs, oh and last week I had a karmic breakthrough where I realized that certain unwanted things would occur if I act judgmental and gossip-y.

Remember this movie Good Morning?

They go on a silent protest until they get a tv. 

BEACH BEACH I LOVE THE BEACH!

YES we finally went to the beach!

eating! drinking! swimming! sunning! sanding! 

giant drippy castle making!

I love the beach.

spooky

We did the OUJI BOARD tonight at midnight.  Someone asked about her mother, who she's never met, and the Oui said "I KUT UP". !!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that so frightening?  Then we asked about the Ouji spirit, and it said "TSOP" which is STOP ! to a dyslexic person! ! So we stopped!  Then we got donut holes.  Earlier I worked on puppet costumes and organized my purses. Then I watched the Lakers game at Dave's house. Little Saint the cat was wearing a Lakers wristband around his neck, he looked so adorable.  Actually it was quite exciting.

Hurray my scanner finally works!

Now, mindless scribbles can be memorialized foreves!

In other news, I put a banana muffin in the microwave and forgot about it until hoards of smoke started billowing out.  OOOPS!  My main question is, where did the smoke come from? (microwave + mostly solid muffin = ??)
