arrrrrrrg!

i hate sewing.
i hate right now so much.
because of a totally lame contractor
i had to take off two nights of work
and had very little sleep
and sharp, shooting pain in my left wrist
that is giving advil a run for it's money.
after this little hump i want to go somewhere
i don't have to think or make any decisions.
just ride my bike into the sunset and people
make all my decisions for me.
but good ones.
stupid z----

cooool

This cute girl that comes into the cha cha did a piece on me on la2day.com

bok! bok!

this is really a cat costume.
papi hates it.
i was going to dress him up as dracula for halloween (because he bites)
but a chicken is pretty cool.
i'm in ny. it's great
it's raining and not too cold, light jacket weather.
such a relief from california on fire.
so sad.
it's been hectic trying to find a sewing machine in the city
after much rigamoroll (cab/ subway/ walked to 6 different places, once which didn't exist)
i found one at kmart and lugged in on back to my buddy kevin's,

where i am staying.
carrying a sewing machine box down city blocks and up subway stairs proved to be very difficult since i carpel tunnelled the f out my hands these past couple weeks from non stop sewing.
now i'm back, safe in a really cute place on the l.e.s. sipping on some green tea.
ahhhh. kevin is in la. sad he's never here when i am, glad i get a bed allllll to myself. nice. but i get to see him in la on sat
for staeci and jason's wedding.

unhee scored two new accounts today!
so far i am 2 for 2.
i have appointments tomorrow as well.
wish me luck.

pork out

i have eaten 2 corn muffins a half of my delicious sangwich, then half of travis' delicious sangwich, both left over from lunch, and two mini rice cakes. all because i am procrastinating or nervous about finishing sewing up this dress.
i'm a nervous eater. i'm also a procrastinEater (pretty good, right? i just made that up).
what is it about being of the verge of making something good that scares you to procrastinate doing it until sometimes it is too late? so lame but i do it all the time.
that being said, back into the dungeon for me. it's actually not that bad b/c i just bought The Fountainhead unabridged audiobook, 30 hours! I'm 3 hours in and totally sucked in. I might be the only person who hasn't read it (i know, i know) so dont' tell me anything. Did y'all know that i'm practically illiterate? i mean i can read, but i don't so...
hahahahahahahaha i also bought an "erotica" audiobook and it is HILARIOUS b/c it's done in an english accent and she says things like "poon" and "dong" but in the accent. it's hilarious. hey i spend days down in the garage, it gets dull, i bet you can hear me laughing outside into the alley.
ok ok. bye.

straight from my body onto your plate, sqwak

so i've been having crazy convoluded dreams lately. i won't bore you with all the details but yesterday i dreampt that "they" wanted me to build a bird army. one of really intelligent, evil birds, and one of stupid birds. and everytime i turned a bird into one of my intelligent, evil birds, "they" would turn them insane and i knew this because they looked different, their beaks turned down, eyes narrowed. and i kept trying to turn them back but they would fly away and join "their" forces.
What "they" really wanted was an army of insane, intelligent, and evil birds and and army of stupid insane birds and were using my powers of birdarmadry (i just made this up) to do it!

then this morning i woke up crying a little bit because my friend nick who works the door at the chach died (in my dream).
he was a part of this elite flying group, NAPA,

The Navigational Association of Precision Aircraft, stupid name i know but i didnt make it up, my brain did while i was away. So anyway, he didn't die in flight but I think was poisoned by his mother. He is deathly allergic to sugar, and although he tried as best he could to avoid it, there was some in his hair gel, that's what made it sticky, a miniscule amount always snuck in, which he could handle. But this one day, someone tainted his food with sugar and he died. Also I think my friend Allison did it to him before he died.

my interpretations: army of birds: no clue. maybe fernet branca.

NAPA: Well I don't know about the flying part, The killing by mother is b/c I was listening to Fresh Air with Terry Gross late lastnight and she had on author Alice Sebold who has a new book out where the character kills her elderly mother. And Nick's brother, Joe is diabetic, so there's the sugar allergy. I have no idea why Allison had sex with him though. Maybe because Nick is a big, buff guy and Allison has big boobs?

Remember that sammyhagar van halen video with the blue angels that they played at graduations?

Anyway, I gotta go sew in my garage and finish my samples.
tonight I will be working the grey ant show at smashbox, i'll try and take pictures but most likely i will be running around like an insane bird dressing skinny girls.

I know you got soul

it has (italics) been a long time.
i hate that, when you start reading a blog (jimmy) and then they just stop.
no note, no goodbye. poof.
not that i think anyone reads this. maybe a couple people. (hi! hi!)
well today i literally slept all day and let me tell you i feel like a real winner <---not really.
i woke up a bit hung over and i dont remember the last time i was hungover
but considering i have an overwhelming (shit ton) of work to do in less than 10 days
i don't have a day to waste.
it's 2am and i woke up at 11.30pm and made some corncranberry muffins and honeybutter.
i'm wondering if i should go down into the garage and work till morning or just try and sleep till 6am
and try to get on a normal schedule.
where do you get getupandgo? some pep? some people are so naturally go go go all the time.
how do they do that. i wish i had a robot switch where i can just go into robot mode, then become human
again.
so maybe this entry is not so exciting, but cut me some slack, you dont want to spook me do you?
i just got back.

i did figure out yesterday that pápi
is afraid of masking tape (pre existing trauma?)
and it was really fun to play "Joan of Arc" with his toy where i tape it up to my coffee table leg and he trys to rescue it
before she "burns" to death.

I always think pictures make blogs better so here we go.
Lately I have been obsessed with this:

jespleleta insisted i would love this and she was right. The professor on keys, SO good:

jenny in my new favorite dress. part of my fall collection. so easy breezy. if you see me, i'll probably be wearing it:

or this: though nobody bought it. i guess floor length flannel is a hard sell, i still love it.
