Skeeter Syndrome

2009-08-18T21:21:00.000-07:00

I guess I have what is called "Skeeter Syndrome" though I refuse to call it that because that sounds like some hillbilly shit.
It's basically an allergy to mosquito bites.
I have one on my thigh, and in the interest of trying to appear somewhat attractive, I will spare you the picture.
Anyway, the mosquito bite I got yesterday quickly became about 4 inches in diameter and is raised as if I have a very buff left thigh. And hot! It is so hot, as in temperature.
If you see me in the next couple days, I implore you to touch a non skeetered section of my leg, then the skeetered one.
Yowza!
Hopefully this goes away soon.

Pippi Longstocking!!!

2009-07-03T00:28:00.000-07:00

I haven't seen these since I was a kid.
I used to LOOOOVE Pippi!
She is the best ever.
Punky Brewster WISHES she was Pippi.
Dude, Pippi is mad strong, she can pick up her horse with one arm.
Her dad is a pirate!
She's so scrappy and she really sticks it to lame grown ups.
Pippi is the coolest kid to ever live in all of history and time.
and she's also so nice.

pippi you're such a nut

Creepy

2009-06-13T19:09:00.000-07:00

Maybe I watch way too many crime shows but the lyrics to this song is creeeepy.

I actually enjoyed it.
I'm gonna give it a go.

Pretty Suzanne

2009-05-15T02:32:00.000-07:00

I heard the most wonderful song the other day and I've listened to it every day since.
"Pretty Suzanne" by THE MONKS
I couldn't find the video but you can buy the song on itunes.
You will be much richer than the 99 cents you will spend for the song, trust me.
You will thank you.
My new favorite band!
And if you get bit by the bug like I did, you can read a little bit about them here
berry interesting

Turn it up!

Can you believe how good it is?

The songs are so rich, they don't want for anything.

How fun!

Of the time they accidentally discovered feedback:

"We were practicing and I had to take a leak," Burger said. "I laid the guitar against the amp and walked off the stage. I forgot to turn it off and the thing began to make this god-awful racket. It started off humming and then it increased in volume. Roger started hitting his drums and it sounded so right together."

Eddie Shaw went one step further when describing that initial bout with feedback.
"Just imagine the sound of the Titanic scraping along an iceberg," he said. "It was like discovering fire."

p.s. I'm landscaping my little front lawn if anyone wants to help.

As the owner of 3 Golden Girls boxsets and their Lifetime Intimate Portraits on DVD and as someone who has watched episodes of Golden Girls everynight this week (for serious) I was truly bummed to hear of Bea Arthur's passing today.

Watch this video

Watch the video, she was a total babe! It is true that everyone is beautiful when they are young.
I used to watch Golden Girls as a kid. And as a kid I believed to be fact that Dorothy Szbornak was a man.
It wasn't until I was a teenager that I learned that Dorothy Szbornak was indeed played by a woman.

R.I.P. Bea Arthur!
This bud's for you.

Sesame Street

2009-04-05T04:36:00.001-07:00

This is pretty much the best thing I have seen all year. I'm going to go ahead and say the past few years.

I imagine that if you were standing in front of Andrea Bocelli and he was singing to you, you would actually feel wind through your hair. And you would mos def cry. Like God would hire Andrea Bocelli to sing at his party.

Alright!

2009-04-02T21:01:00.000-07:00

ok ok!
I'm already so embarrassed.
Did you see him do Play that Funky Music Whiteboy and pilledoutPaula cooing all over him.
It's embarrassing.
And I love it.

I love him! I don't care what you think

2009-03-27T22:57:00.000-07:00

it's motown week on idols week y'all!

ok, so maybe I will be embarrassed about this later, but...
this shit made me cry

the audio quality is MUCH better here (but not the live video)
the first thirty seconds makes me wanna die. chills and i die.

omg!
His name is Adam Lambert
his voice, his control of his voice is bonkers!
you can tell that he's felt some pain in his life

anyway, I want him to win.
i am like a teenage girl when I watch him and we all know
teens = $
so mine is on him.
though that hot little miss so and so, the 16 yr old is awesome.
i mean she is 16 and she sounds crazy!
as in good.
in the middle when she is like scatting, she is like a salty ass 50 yr old club singer!
you know that woman is wearing red sequins,
skin tight on her too big ass.
but i digress.
Allison Iraheta
i mean, what were you doing at 16?

maybe I want her to win,
I mean she is a 16 yr old punky latina teen from Downey!
she's kind of already won

remember Taylor Dayne?
so good.

that hair!
those eyes!
those lips!
she is giving us keira kinghtingly face
drag. queen.
her bad BAD extentions!
still, she is bad ass.
like she is kind of a fast ass, but she will cut you too.
ohmygodilLOVEher!

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

2009-03-21T01:05:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I went down to the Jimmy Kimmel Live show to watch my friends, The Duke Spirit, perform.
The green room had everything, catered food, open bar, pool table, video games...
I've really got to remember to bring my camera to things like these.

The always amazing Liela looked gorgeous in her custom made UNHEE elephant top and the way that fabric caught the light, fantastico!

Look at mop top Travis in the back! Like a fraggle rock-er.
If you look super closely, you can see the side of my head bobbing to the music.
As we were walking up and taking our place in the audience, I thought to myself, "Is it cheesy to stand right in front knowing I will be on camera"? and now watching the video, I TOTALLY wish I just hammed it up and stood up front. haha. Next time.

Funny story: Right before they performed, JImmy Kimmel went on stage and greeted each member and as he was walking off stage, I see him lean into Travis and say something.
Then they perform.
Later Travis told us that Jimmy said, "Don't fuck it up".
Ha!
Hilarious.

50 and Fabulous.

A fun story that Emili Vesilind wrote for the LA TIMES about the 50th anniversary of Barbie.

It was really neat to read that Jeremy Scott also made Barbie clothes out of tissue and tape!

Read it here:

Nony Tochterman, Jeremy Scott, Jenny Kayne, Suzy Yun and Tarina Tarantino all learned at the tiny feet of the woman who turns 50 this year.

'09 ALL MINE!

2009-02-05T18:12:00.000-08:00

This month's ANGELENO MAGAZINE 'Best of' Issue.
UNHEE is Los Angeles' Best of Style for 2009!
As you can tell by the picture, I am all business.
A real straight shooter.
Photo by David Waldorf who was so nice and great and my only request to him was,
"Make me look skinny!"
Ha.
I was j/king.
sort of.
half joking.

speaking of...

the other day, as i was minding my own business reading a magazine in an elevator, a woman asked me if, NO,
assumed, i was pregnant.
i looked up from my magazine and asked her to repeat her statement/question,
she pointed to my apparently giant belly , made the preggo belly motion
and said again, "you have baby?".

I'm.
So.
Sure.

Stefano Pilati is a genius

2009-01-18T04:52:00.000-08:00

i worship him
his spring 09 , some of it is so good that i want to cry.
i would love to have a uniform like this to wear
everyday,

it looks like her dress is made out of ROBITUSSIN!

sheer. sequins.
i love it so much it's so good.

but one look.
i literally gagged when i saw it.

i don't get it.
it looks like a jack-o-lantern face scarecrow.

and i can't believe that i have never even seen his fall 08 collection.
i don't know why i didn't look at if before but it is amazing. so beautiful.

obsession

2009-01-13T04:13:00.000-08:00

i am in LOVE
i can't even tell you all the reasons why
actually, i can. to anyone who'll listen
all the reasons i love lady gaga
and why she is amazing and why i am obsessed with her

the first 20 seconds kill me. i'm dead
the costumes. her.
i am respecting her.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAoPJxTvZOQ

she is like if you smooshed carol channing and bette midler into a hot little 24 year old,
this is what would come out the spaghetti grinder.

From the very begining
paying her dues
(even if she is wearing a strapless bra under that outfit? baaad)
still i am respecting her.

but then give her a little money.
japanese anime .

p.s. drew barrymore giving us marylin at the golden globes! perrrfect.

Happy New Year!

2009-01-05T19:43:00.001-08:00

Happy New Year!
I am ringing in the new year with a cold.
Right now I am on my couch swaddled in down watching the Antiques Road Show. I love this show!
One of my goals in 2009 is to find a treasure.
Another goal of mine is to get a new camera, preferably a Leica, because my sony cybershot just isn't cutting it.
I think I would take more pictures if I had a better camera.
I'd like to also get more into accessories.

Cheers!

the everly brothers

2008-12-06T01:36:00.000-08:00

i totally get why girls in the 60s went all crazy and crying.
they are so fresh.
after "all i have to do is dream" they play
one of the best sounding songs of all time. "cathy's clown".
they are pretty much the best singing duo of ever. don everly's voice is so cool and he's a total wholesome babe like zac efron.
they are perfect.

but i think this john lenon version is the prettiest.
though, the video is dumb. just look away (i'm heeeedeeous)!

i just saw confessions of a superhero. it is so harsh. kind of hard to watch.

BFFs

2008-11-24T15:57:00.000-08:00

These two.
Two peas in a pod.
Clearly, Nugget loves Travis more than me.
I'm dealing with it best I can.

Et tu Papi?

This one, I can't really explain, it was the brown fur for my monkey costume and Nugget just really loved it and growled at Papi when ever he got near. So to properly guard it, she just got in the bag and slept on it.

battle cat

2008-11-19T04:40:00.000-08:00

i've never been much of a cat person, but this (video) is great.
actually, there is the coolest cat i've ever met in my whole life who lives next door to me.
i call her battlecat, and she is the coolest, man.
she let me pet her once.
i purchased greenies for cats treats so that anytime that i see her, i run back into my house and grab a couple and give them to her.

i also try and remember to take some dog treats when i take the dogs for a walk because just about every other house in my neighborhood has some crazy backyard dog that has never left their yard so they go ape shit anytime anyone walks past.

sometimes it works and sometimes it backfires and the dogs think i am attacking them and they go even crazier, but i'll win them over. i just realized that i may sound like a crazy person, but whatever. geez, whats next? a bag of bread crumbs at echo park lake?

as i was saying,
the coolest thing about battlecat is that i've given her treats twice, and once i fed her some tuna, oh and once i gave her some baby food i had left over from when nugget was sick, anyway, point being, thats probably 4 times in the past 6 months, so she's not one of those cats that you give some food to once and they are at your front step every day. that happened to me once in grade school and i learned my lesson. vagrants.
but not battle cat.
she/he's the best and so unimposing.
that cat's got class!

Babysitters Club

2008-11-16T04:03:00.000-08:00

oh my God Laura Branigan!
She is like what you imagined your cool babysitters did at night.
Like THIS is her DREAM! and she babysits on the side for extra cash.
But at night, after your parents come home, after she leaves your house,
she goes out and does THIS.

I'm so excited!

i LOVE halloween!

2008-11-13T16:30:00.000-08:00

ok, i just got my computer up and running again, well i got a new one, so we're gonna have to work backwards, so the dates maybe all jumbled, but still all good.
if you know me, you know i LOVE Halloween and I wish it was 3 days every year instead of just one, but if you luck out and get it on a weekend, you can dress up all weekend!
This year I only had 2 costumes, well 1 1/2 because the old man on vacay, inspired by nick nolte, was just a try on test run.
i didn't get to present him in all his glory, complete with fake bushy eyebrows. Oh well, next year. It's always good to have a good costume on hand, just in case.

But for Halloween night proper Travis and I went to the Jackie Beat Gruesome Twosome show with Jer Ber Jones.

Trav was an organ grinder

and I was his monkey!

I wish I had a full body shot b/c I think this was the finest Halloween costume I have ever made.
I made everything from head to toe, and tail, except for the fez.

Travis made his costume as well. His organ box was amazing!
He also carved this awesome pumpkin!

What detail! Ahhhoooooooooo!

Hello Foxy Lady Colin!

Hello Drill Team Jen!

Hello Ghandi!

Aaron was Shipwreck from G.I. Joe along with his parrot, Sydney!

i LOVE Sydney!
He was so cute and nice and let me pet him for a long time and I could tell he loved me too.
It was then that I saw into the future and saw myself as Crazy Bird Lady, which I was totally fine with.

Freda Payne!

2008-11-12T17:10:00.000-08:00

Band of Gold, my new favorite song.
All the covers of it are by women and sound kinda like the original except for the reggae version by Marcia Griffiths, which I love.
But I would love to hear it done by a male motown group, like the Four Tops or something. anyway, the original is the best, yay Funk Brothers, plus Ms. Payne is super foxy.
I've listened to it at least 5x already today.
It was playing at the Trader Joes and everyone, seriously everyone, was snapping their fingers, bobbing their heads, or humming along.
This youtube is great because it's like karaoke and you can sing along.
it's so fun.
trust me, i've done it twice in the past 20 minutes.

p.s. i just got a new macbook so i am forcing everyone i know to video chat with me until i tire of it. sorry

we did it

2008-11-05T16:02:00.000-08:00

I have no words that would do what I feel justice. I have never been so proud to be an American and I am grateful. For the first time in my life, more than ever.
I am so proud of my country.
I am so proud of my country.

still crazy after all these years

2008-10-10T11:42:00.000-07:00

Ms. White, SO good.
Still got it.

2008-10-09T17:27:00.000-07:00

this is really too much.
come on.
i put little scarves and shit on my dogs from time to time, but this dog looks like a total fucking nerd.
nerd dog.
anyway, i should be making clothes so i should go.
boo.
i'm trying to break my circle of shame. my shame spiral.
where i don't get to making patterns for some reason or another, then i feel like a terrible losery person for not, then feel defeated and avoid making patterns. so now, i'm just going to do it. like nike. once i start, i really enjoy it. so here i go.

gawd, i am dying! dying as i watch these videos of Alexander McQueen runway.
i mean, i always knew he was genius, it's kind of just common knowledge so i never really watched any of his shows or studied his work. i think because it's a given, you know. i wanted to study lesser known brilliant designers, and maybe also because i would feel so infinitely inadequate. i mean can you IMAGINE ever being that good? i dare not even try. watching these, i'm getting a stomach ache. literally. like when i was 12 and heard joy division for the first time.

do you wanna dance?

2008-09-24T16:12:00.000-07:00

I listen to this song a minimum of 3x per day and when i'm listening to it, i can not imagine loving anything more.
(the sound on the video is not so good, but i recommend doing yourself a favor and buy the song, if you don't already have it, and play it properly)

This one is the vocals only from a recording session?

i want to feel like this all day everyday my smile is so big

somewhere between vancouver bc and spokane wa
sorry i've been a bad blogger. blah blogger. blood booger.
i've had something to do every minute i'm awake.
i haven't even had time to get postcards! sad.
the time i did finally get some time to buy a postcard was in pomona and i just can't sent a postcard to california from california.
but now i am better at my job and have somewhat of a system down so it's faster and i can have more free time to look around at places i would never go.
we have a day off soon. in texas.
i'll try and be better.
sleepy time.
i actually get to sleep in my own bed tonight. two nights in a row! i actually love my bunk and think about different ways of organizing it often. it's the showers i miss. long, hot comfortable showers. not these paltry whore's baths i get. handi wipes and fabreez. jk but barely.
i will leave you with the cutest picture ever taken of my dogs.
my brother is so kindly watching them while travis and i are on tour, separately but at the same time, and he took them for a bike ride.
get ready to die.
xo,

papi's smiling! like for reals smiling! i've never seen him so happy.
i miss them terribly and am a bit afraid that nugget will forget who i am.
i only got her a month before i left, for a month.
i hope she doesn't forget me because i would just die i'd be so sad.

if anyone wishes to buy my friendship...

but this is a big deal to someone who has really zero interest in watching sports, ever.
my stupid iphoto will not open. it's been a weeks and i'm bummed. i have no idea what could be wrong. any suggestions?

i went to vegas this weekend for jenny cho's bachelorette party. it was the most fun i've ever had in vegas.
contributing to that is the fact that i could not lose on slots. i have never won before but this time i was on fire.
i won $900 my first day, $300 my second day. Then proceeded to lose it all in the last couple hours i was there. ouch.
still. it was totally fun and not a dick straw in sight!
i'll post pictures soon.
on a sad note, both my dogs have kennel cough and poor little nugget is not doing so well.
she hardly eats and is so thin and lethargic and sad.
i'm taking her to the vet again tomorrow. she seemed to be on the up and up a couple days ago, now, i don't know.
see what happens when i'm away?

Ok, so if you know me you might know that I cruise the craigslist "pet" section often and look at all the sad little doggies that need homes after I come home from work and go to bed sad for them. i used to look at la animal services, craigslist is a little bit less sad. So then last week, I came across this picture of this little guy they were calling "shorty".

(she is much smaller and MUCH cuter when i saw her in person)
I bookmarked the post like i've done to many in the past, but for some reason, i knew she was the one. she was in san bernadino so we drove 2 hours to get to the shelter only to find out that they thought we werent coming for her and had just given her to a rescue. she told us to look around , which i didnt want to do b/c i didnt drive out there to peruse the san bernadino city shelter. i did anyway, but i wanted to find "shorty", so i went back in to get that info, but the adoption lady went to lunch and would be back in an hour. ack.
I don't know if you've ever been out there, but killing time in san bernadino is not that fun.
we come back and she calls a few people and no answer and we're just hanging out at the animal shelter for another 2 hours waiting for some kind of response and she finally calls back and tells us that the rescue dropped her off at her foster mom's house in palm springs!
We're driving out there and at this point, already paid for her and basically adopted her sight unseen, but for some reason i never doubted that she was for me. when we finally saw her she came running out and was SO insanely cute and sweet it was all totally worth it.
So... dun da duh dunnnnn.... Here's Nugget! (we changed her name)
She's about 2 yrs old and was an owner surrender, an owner who told the adoption officer that he'd almost rather kill her and bury her himself than pay the $25 fee for surrendering your pet to the shelter. (OMG!)
She is so calm and sweet and cute (I'm hoping this will rub off on Påpi) and we love love love her.

Look at that face!

So cute, and Påpi's showing off for a dog treat, he actually came programmed with that feature b/c i certainly did not teach him that.
anyway, i hope you get to meet her. she's awesome.
And if you're considering getting a pet, please seriously consider rescuing one from a shelter or rescue.
There are tens of thousands of unwanted dogs euthanized each year, and that's in Los Angeles county alone!
After Påpi, I told myself I would not get another full grown dog from the shelter again b/c you don't know what you're getting and he has such bad behavioral problems, but that is not always the case, and I'm SO glad i didn't stick to that, because then i wouldn't have little nugs.

yesterday was my birthday and it was great!
i got sang to when i woke up then i got mani pedis and sushi and went to the echo and saw moonrats and cave singers. i love moonrats and zollo sang a song with cave singers and it was so beautiful that it made me tear up just a bit. i missed tolsatd but i did get the best shirt ever. it's got a boner on it. it made me feel really good to have such good, talented friends and i felt very proud watching them. i rarely go out and now i really don't know why i don't. it's so fun to socialize outside of work. anyways, i love my friends and they make me feel loved, so thanks for being so nice to me.
today triz

is going to bring over 5 big bags of top soil, oh boy! so we can get our garden started.

Hi.
My boyfriend is prettier than me. I have no eyebrows.
We put our biore strips on upside down, but it was still as disgustingly satisfying when we pulled them off.
We've been spending most of our free time moving into and setting up our new place and travis has spent a lot of time in the sun getting our backyard in shape so that we can enjoy it this summer and papi's been generally cute and sometimes ornery as usual.
I've been sick for about a week and i'm really tired of it. i'm going to go watch 'the great debaters' now because i have a headache.
xo,
suzy

i have always hated the beatles, growing up.
i just didn't get it.
why, what's the big deal.
and in the stones vs beatles debate the answer to me was clear.
until a couple years ago.
first nathan let me listen to a couple songs.
and one day opening the bar when no one else was in there, the let it be album was leaning against the record player and i figured, why not, no one's here.
and i nearly cried.
it made me nostalgic for a time that I wasnt even in.
and how lucky for that to be your contemporary, for them to be your compeers.
and now, after hearing this song at least a hundred times in my lifetime.
watching this video breaks my heart.
knowing that it was towards the end, everyone resentful and unhappy,
but making something so beautiful that almost 40 yrs later makes some girl in california cry.
i'm actually glad i've never really listened to the beatles until now
because it's all totally new to me

ooh wah do lang do lang

2008-01-22T15:13:00.001-08:00

omygod PLEASE somebody buy this for me.
i need it
it's hard to find a good 60s girl group comp, or even a whole album since back they were released as singles.
but this! this rules.
i'm "reading" the phil spector biography right now.
it's awesome.
can't wait to get back to it.
i just got to "river deep, mountain low"
despite their personal policies, i pretty much flip for anything phil spector or ike turner produced.

2008-01-12T01:18:00.000-08:00

oh my god, who cares!
my last post, what a dorky person i am.
i should just delete it, but then what's the point of having a stupid blog, it's all a big "who cares" isn't it?
anyway, it reminds me of the time, years ago in seattle, when jake wanted to break up with me because i was singing along
to a, jeez what's the name of that band with the big fat guy who has a magazine of harmonicas? Popper, Blues Traveler!
We were sitting in the sea wolf and that song came on and i professed my love for it and knew all the words and jake threatened to break up with me.
twice a year i will be bonkers for a couple weeks before market and that will just be that.
so around january and october of every year...grain of salt.
or maybe when you are stressed it's your real self coming out and the rest of the year you are just sucking in.
i'm trying to decide if chewing with your mouth open, though obnoxious, makes your food taste better.
you know, the oxygen mixing with it, you breathing in more. i think it does, but i have more testing to do before i make any conclusions. i eat out quite a bit and this is not something you do in public, so it may take a while, but i'm thinking yes.

in unrelated not really news, here are some blast from the past pictures which are really badly framed and all around bad pictures, but reminds me of a nice time.

it's me and my mom after my gen art show almost 2 years ago. my mom ran up after the show and gave me those flowers. aw cute!
and look in the back, it's cutie face jen! texting or something.
jen helped me out so much and basically managed the whole back stage goings on and took over when i was too stressed to even talk and got all boss of the hotsauce for me.
thanks jen, you're a good friend. (have fun in hawaii!)
also in unrelated kind of news:
SEPARATED AT BIRTH?

aahhh hahahahahahaha
this is hilarious.
and look at his bulge, I'm SO sure.
as embarrassing as it is, i am really excited to see the new rock of love.
and i mean embarrassing as in, you are really embarrassed for the women on the show and for brett.
also in almost news:
i've had this blog for almost 2 years! holy moly. i started it in april 06.
i supposed the number of things that i have kept up for over a year is growing.

who am i

2008-01-10T01:04:00.000-08:00

i am totally in love with yo-yo ma.
i've just heard his music for the first time and i nearly cried.
it's so beautiful i cant stand it.
then i listened to his colabo with, eek, bobby mcferrin and i smiled at how cute the two are and imagined an odd couple type relationship. the uptight yo-yo ma and that unpredictable bobby. oh the hijinx. but you bring the two together and , oh you get the picture.

i am not exactly sure the kind of person i am turning into these days, wearing white keds and driving a mini van with a short hairdo. i am totally momming out and loving it. jeez what's next, manhattan transfer?
I also downloaded the Tord Gustaven Trio and i like it even if it's kinda starbucksy. if anyone has any suggestions on good classical and jazz albums to get please please let me know as this is an area i am almost totally ignorant to.
I have grown tired of most of the 50 gigs of music in my library and am really hungry for something new (to me) and stimulating.
Different note, Travis took me to Disneyland last week, more pictures to come.

xo

ok this shit is really hilarious. you will LOL for real.

p.s. this is NOT what i am hungry for and not what i downloaded, but it is funny

Hey You!

2007-12-31T12:19:00.000-08:00

2007, bye.
I know I've been real spotty about posting.
Sorry, I'll try and be better in 2008.
This one will be a quickie as I have to run out and run some errands before I squeeze in some garage sew time.
The day after christmas Travis, Papi, and I drove up to my brothers near Sacramento and went mountain biking and such and had a great time.
Tomorrow at 1 o'clock at an undisclosed location in Koreatown, my parents and Travis will meet for the very first time.
I should take pictures of that, It would be so uncomfortable that the lens would probably shatter from the sheer tension in the air. Kidding. Kind of. See in all their 65+ years they have never met anyone I have dated. Ever. And they are, let's see, how should I say this, uh, "quirky". And not very talkative. Most likely they will just stare at us eating, quietly judging.
Wish us luck.
Anyway, I hope everyone had a great year and learned a lot of things and were kind to each other, and if not, you have tomorrow.
Love,
S

I'm sorry but this is really cute. I'm really into my dog right now.

He actually didn't stay in the bag for long and ran along side 3 bikes and another bigger dog for 4-5 miles.
Like a little champion. I am fully aware of how that last sentence sounded. I am not sorry.

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.

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.

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.

2007-10-16T10:37:00.000-07:00

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.

xo,
s

2007-10-15T02:02:00.000-07:00

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.

Reginald Bea Jenkins

2007-05-31T23:54:00.000-07:00

Meet Reggie:

He is a baby opossum.
I found him in my backyard the other day.
He must've fell off his momma.

Those chirping noises he's making is him calling out to him mom.
I met up with Mary, a 70 year old volunteer from the Opossum Society of the United States, in the Carrows parking lot in Higland Park and handed him off. She will take care of him until he is strong enough to be on his own.
I only had him for a day and a night.
He's so cute and before I found him I didn't think there was another animal that I thought was more disgusting than an opossum.
I miss Reggie and I kind of wish I still had him, just for a little while.
Here I put hot water and uncooked rice (to help retain the heat) in a water bottle for him. i might sound like a crazy person.

I went bonkers over this little guy. Did you know that opossums are North America's only marsupial?
Fascinating isn't it? I'm just sayin'.

it being the saturday of a three day weekend, it was crazy day.
at least on the bike path
one guy on a recumbant bike rode past me yelling, "i love poooosy, BIG TITS! BIG TITS!".
then another guy walked by me and teal mumbling to himself, "hilbillies and mexicans... two things i can't stand".
he looked like black shrek with headphones on.
we saw the big tits guy all day on the path. he really gets around.
then i went to work and it got weird there too.
after we closed big steve started cuttin a rug to side two of born in the usa

big steve doing his best brittney spears impersonation

then things got weird

ta dah!

thank you to everyone who made my birthday this year the best ever!

i love you so much.

ash took me to the stevie nicks/chris isaac show

with vip laminates and i got to see chris isaac's tighty whiteys hanging on a pants hanger but didn't have my camera. i also think that i almost walked in on the gold dust woman cuttin a duece.

she looked and sounded so beautiful. i love stevie.

then i had a really great dinner at casita del campo with drinks at the other side after and i felt super warm and loved and happy and laughed a lot.

then on my actual birthday travis and i rode our bikes on the beach to the redondo beach pier and smashed crabs. but first we opened presents and he got me that green dress i was harping about. yay! so pretty. and two books. r-e-a-d-a-b-o-O-K!
travis cleaning the bird poop off my window

then he thought papi was being condescending to him and they got into it. those two, always arguing.

then, he flew away...:(

but all in all, really great birthday weekend.

thank you friends, i am so lucky.

happy birthday

my brother got me a bike for christmas

and we went mountain biking up by folsom lake, near sacramento
and it was the most fun going through the woods on trails
only wide enough for bike tires

then we threw sticks and such into the lake and his dogs swam out and fetched
i also inherited a fine ukelele complete with REI style uke gig bag.

he's rad.
drove up there with folks.

unhee <3's DAY19!!!

2006-12-07T23:37:00.000-08:00

the lovely and talented day19 recently shot my spring '07 lookbook.

here are some that aren't up on my site. unhee (the lookbook is a hidden link p.s.)

there were so many good ones it was hard to choose just one of each look.

claire would start shooting, then pass the camera to jeremy to get a different prespective

which i thought was really neat. they are a fantastic team and i was so extremely happy and grateful they were into it.

this is melis my beautiful model.
i was super lucky to have a stylist for a model because she brought with her the most amazing shoe collection.
this is a picture of her fleeing a swarm of bees behind her.
she is allergic and we were all playing it cool so she wouldn't freak out, she asked us if there were a bunch of bees behind her, and we were all, "uh, no, not at all" to which she replied, "really? because it sounds like there's a swarm of them"
there totally was a shitload of bees behind her.
she's a trooper and a champ.
all of these pictures in this entry are by day19 and you can see more on their photoblog

right now i am super into this supremes album dj pubes burned for me.
and since it was an analog to digital burn, you can hear all the cracks of the record. it's awesome.
his girlfriend, stella played this record of the supremes doing all sam cooke covers and it sends me, honest it does.

found this guy running around. Danjamin Monick.

paper magazine had this thing where it was an open call for designers.

i went to their store front the night before to support my dear friend Grant (grey ant).

eek.

Thanksgiving was awesome.
Nathan and Silvio made an awesome dinner, even better than last years.

I made a delicious ambrosia salad.
We played charades till my stomach hurt and my throat sore from laughing so much.

good friends are real good.
i felt warm and loved all day.

also i was super excited that nathan said i can have this drawing in about a month. it's my favorite of his.

RIchard and Shinobu's wedding.
my camera fritzed out.
golfers teeing off during the ceremony.
i'm telling you, you haven't seen shit till you've seen a dance floor full of middle aged korean ladies with big hair and shiney outfits doing the electric slide in unison to a k-pop song.
i was so floored i had to join in for the macarena.
I had a blast.
Congratulations buddy, I love you.

Here are pictures from Shinobu's bridal shower

Beautiful Shinobi

my favorite little dude, Taiju's feet

today my stupid little dog, who i love very much, bit some guy on the street and when i told my friend about it he asked me "are you going to put him down"?
to which i replied, "do you really think insults will help"?
see, i think that's hilarious.
anybody? no, no one?
well maybe i've been watching a little too much golden girls, but i think it's right on the money.

it's a family affair

2006-10-08T11:46:00.001-07:00

house warming party for jenny and mike
so many old friends there it was like a family reunion
it was a bbq and i was starving but when i got there i was so excited to see everyone that i wasn't hungry anymore
it was like being hugged for 3 hours, it felt awesome.
oh! and i got to hold my first baby ever!

This is little Taiju, he's 8 weeks old and the cutest little peanut!
look at his funny little face.
I was totally nervous and sweaty.
This is his big sister Noa, her dad Yoshi, and a highly anticipated cupcake.
she's 4 and so funny and cute.

we played with the mailbox for like 45 minutes.
while we were playing she said, "come on mom", and on the inside i was thinking, "omg i would TOTALLY be your mom".
Hiroko, her real mom is awesome, we met in college in the dorms. I turned in my housing application late, so I was put in the exchange student housing.
I've never really been around kids so I didn't know how I felt about them, turns out, they're pretty cool.
This is Richard and Taiju. Richie is one of my oldest and closest friends, we also met in college in the dorms, freshman year, he lived right above me. He is getting married in less than two months!
He's the first one of my core friends to take the plunge. Way to go Richie!

Look at pregnant Kathy. Four more months and I get to hold another baby!

And it wouldn't be right if I made a post without throwing some dogs in the mix...
Szebie chooch was there

along with his sister Darla

Ta Dah!
