i guess that leaves me out on both accounts!! i am always losing my tweezers and i have to have them or else i will go crazy. oh wait, i'm already there. i guess i don't have to go anywhere, then. i dreamed something last night and it was in my head but now it is gone. maybe it will come back. i remembered the novel i got the other day: The Life of Pi. i am not in control of how

i have no idea what he is talking about in regard to torrance or his kid. i guess the rest of it is pretty spot on, tho. Back from Torrance, asshole? Make another rude comment about my kid and see what happens. I have been relatively nice to you, but I won't anymore. You are a dumpy fucking cow, who hates anyone who isn't as pathetic as you. Anytime someone gets any attention, you start

my mom and my aunt 'use' Mary Kay facial products and my aunt decided to switch to some other brand so she gave my mom all of her stuff, like my mom says it's worth $300. and i asked my mom if i could have it and she said yes, cuz she doesn't really even use the supply that she already has, as it is. i haven't washed my face yet this morning. i've been busy uploading pics and then i went

sorry, i had to pee. yesterday we went to this really cool cambodian buddhist temple which has recently completed a massive collection of sculptures which are really amazing to see. i still have to upload them so BE PATIENT! I took a lot of photos. also yesterday, i spent a great deal of the day soul-searching so i can make the right choices and know what the right choice IS and stick

i am very annoyed because last night, while i was cleaning the house, since i do not have a garbage disposal, i flushed some old,cooked potato and carrot chunks down the toilet and now the toilet is STILL clogged no matter how much i plunge it and i am PISSED. hopefully it will eventually dissolve. i'm sure it will.

here is a cute and funny little excerpt of Get Smart where Max & 99 meet The Sacred Cows. it's cool. i did not actually go on my trip yesterday, as planned and will be traveling today, instead. we watch a lot of children's programing on television, and there are certain shows that scott and i both HATE for whatever reason. like, there is something about Gina on Sesame Street that isn't

some people don't like clowns. so like, what if you bought someone an object depicting a clown for whom you had no knowledge of their phobia? my life is in a state of crisis or near-crisis. not a good thing. why do things happen?

i wore this outfit for most of the day, yesterday, until i went for a walk and got all hot and sweaty and had to take a bath and change my clothes when i got home. our house is much cooler inside than it is outside (just naturally) so i get this false sense of the weather until i go somewhere else, like the store or the post office... you know. today i am going to be riding on a bus and a

i love to water the lawn with this adjustable hose sprinkle thing. i like to set it on 'shower' and then pretend that it is raining. I set it to different settings for different situations. I love the 'mist' setting. It is so awesome. You can barely feel it. I like to see the rainbows and see the plants being happier. Sometimes I even shoot the sprayer up into the trees, thinking the

blogging culture

2007-09-02T09:08:00.000-07:00

i am on the fringes, now, of blogging culture because i cannot read other people's blogs anymore. no laptop makes it impossible to integrate blogging into my other daily tasks.... it changes everything. by winter, i will have my laptop fixed or i will have a new one. but i am glad, now... glad to have a different perspective on the whole thing. it amazes me to see how much time people

i am drinking hot chocolate with decaf instant crystals mixed in because we are out of coffee and i would have to go to the gas station to buy some which i guess would be okay except i need to wear warmer pants which means i have to go into the bedroom to get them but my 'partner' is sleeping in there and i don't want to wake him up. okay, nevermind. i am going. this cocoa/decaf crystals

It makes me think of 'my name is luca... walked into the door again.' only i really did. or kick my shin into something or slam a finger or whatever. all the time. i think i must like it or something.

these songs reflect my feelings at this moment. Were not scared to lose it all Security throw through the wall Future dreams we have to realize A thousand sceptic hands Wont keep us from the things we plan Unless were clinging to the things we prize And do you feel scared - I do But I wont stop and falter And if we threw it all away Things can only get better Woah woah oh, Woah woah oh oh

here i am painting in my art class. there was a guy there playing guitar for us while we painted. that was nice. there was this old guy sitting next to me and he was funny. he said he speaks in parables. he said some funny stuff about my painting. he said, "don't forget the kitchen" and also, when i said that the painting felt 'stale' to me, he said, "well, how long ago did you cook it?"

It will be nice when I can buy "real clothes" sometimes. I guess. I've always been a thrift-store lover. When I shop retail, I'm always very surprised by the prices. It just doesn't seem like clothes are worth that much money. I think Artist types wear funky strange clothing that looks like they got it out of a dumpster. I think of myself as this type of person. I like to dress strangely

well, my hypothesis was quite incorrect; for, in my case showing breasts heeds mostly insults. i've learned a few things about how my breasts are perceived by others, i guess. 1. don't show them 2. no one wants to see them 3. they are hideous. 4. i need surgery on my breasts. alrighty then... my opinion of the womens' breasts who are now in judgment of the quality of mine, shall

have you ever seen a woman's breast?

2007-08-27T07:32:00.000-07:00

if you post a pic of your boobs, even just one boob, on your blog, you will get a ton of people acting like it is the most beautiful thing they have ever seen! personally, i am never impacted that way, when i see a woman's breast on a blog, it does not impact me at all other than to wonder why it is that everyone loves that so much. and then it makes me want to do it too so i can see if

that's me, alright.

it's a beautiful day. the trees are blowing in the wind, which is beautiful and calming to watch. my daughter has been at church with her grandma for the last couple of hours. i'm listening to music. drinking coffee. people usually think i am 27. they also used to say, until i got pregnant this last time, that my body did not look like i had ever had a kid. i'm starting to really like

one of the ways that i trick myself into cleaning the house is to imagine that someone is coming over whom i would be mortified if they saw the mess. I imagine someone special is coming over like the president, the pope, gary oldman, or just whatever. In junior high i imagined it was this guy named Barrett Cohn. OMG! There is some MAJOR DRAMA going on next door. involving two firetrucks

We have two thrift stores here in town. The old one is run by old ladies and it benefits some type of ministry. The new one is AWESOME, although they both have good qualities. I still go to both of them. The other day at the old lady one, the ladies were talking about a scantily clad woman who had just left the store and they said, "Did you see her?

You just never see them, i guess. normally i try to avoid posting pics of kids on my blog cuz the internet is not really a safe place to do so. but, in this case, i try to avoid showing her face straight on. here she is doing yoga (downward facing dog) even my kid thinks she is

2007-08-23T11:17:00.000-07:00

i feel sexy in this but i wouldn't wear it just to go to the thrift store. maybe if it were SUPER HOT outside and i had a tan? i'm too old to just wear that like a normal outfit. but it is funny how critical i am of myself and then i go out and see really gross people wearing skimpy clothes like they don't know any better. so why shouldn't i? but i can't because i get too

it's all how you look at it

2007-08-23T06:58:00.000-07:00

i just wanted the world to see this picture because it shows my shoes and socks in addition to my skirt and shirt and my 'mary-kate' face. haha. this is my newest work. unfinished, of course,. those shorts are a 'no' they crawl up my butt, make me look like i peed my pants, too short, don't like front pockets... they are gross.

last night i lost my pill that i take at night. it helps me sleep so nicely. i knew i'd just taken it out of the box and set it down while i went to get a drink. i had to get ice. but then i lost the pill. i searched and searched and searched. i even checked the ice trays, i checked everywhere. i was nervous, too, because what if the baby found it before i did? so i couldn't sleep and

i change my clothes a lot

this idea that our past selves can talk to our future selves and vice versa.... sending messages from the past into the future... that is like when you watch a video that really brings you back somewhere to your past and speaks to you of many things related to the choices you have made and how much everything has changed but hasn't. also my son, for instance, gets messages from the past

coffee in the evening

2007-08-20T18:57:00.000-07:00

i've been addicted to peanut butter lately. and i am tired a lot. sleeping is nice. being sleepy isn't nice. so i've been drinking tons of coffee which really doesn't help much of anything except remind me of my father who made brewing a pot of coffee in the afternoon seem really cool for some reason. feels rebellious to drink coffee in the evening.

Love might be too strong a word however. When I was a kid I went to a Christian School until Sixth grade and whenever someone would say, "You love Mark Roseberry

these are some comments addressed to me that i was able to find by searching haloscan. read them and draw your own conclusions. i just find it ironic that these people think they are in any position to denigrate ME. sorry, it is SUPER long. and i didn't even find all of them.

Antigone Last night I ran across this old Psych. of Gender research paper which i wrote in 2003 and it really seems to apply to me. I'm pretty sure I knew that then, which is why I chose to write about Antigone, Oedipus (her father), and Freud (the under-informed but before his time psycho-analyst). here are a few excerpts which seem particularly apropos to this whole 'situation'.

"Instead of making others right or wrong, or bottling up right and wrong in ourselves, there is a middle way, a very powerful middle way. We could see it as sitting on the razor's edge, not falling off to the right or the left. ...Whether it's ourselves, our lovers, bosses, children, local Scrooge, or the political situation, it's more daring and real not to put anyone out of our hearts and

raymi et al don't try to call me on airing personal information. Raymi has done it more than once on her blog, Matt Good has chosen in the not-so-distant past to discuss many details of his personal life(and he got a lot of flack about it) Raymi jumped right on the bandwagon of dissing Jen (Matt's now ex-wife) publicly on her blog revealing personal info about Jen. Raymi has used her blog so

Caricature by Victor Pross, Freud and Madonna Victor Pross: Caricatures and Illustrations has asked if he may do a caricature of me. His caricature's are quite impressive and I do feel flattered that he finds me worthy as a subject; however, I'm a little apprehensive about how he will caricaturize me because caricatures can sometimes be somewhat unflattering. I don't care, I still think

The priest in a small Irish village kept a chicken coop behind the church. On Sunday morning he found that the cock was missing. He knew about cock fights in the village, so he decided to ask his parishioners in church. Before Mass he asked his congregation, "Has anybody got a cock?" All the men stood up. "No, that wasn't what I meant. Has anybody seen a cock?" All the women stood up. "No, no, I

many people seem to be concerned about my sanity. don't worry. it is under control. i take a little pill called Soma and it makes me blissfully happy so i am no longer disruptive to society. although it is deeply seated in my personality to do so.... i got a used canvas for $10. i think it is 25x35" but i can't find any measuring tapes or rulers, so i had to guestimate by using a 14" piece

i've been wanting to buy these for a while, but always thought it too frivolous a purchase. yesterday, i was at the store with my son and i showed them to him. he pointed out that there was nothing in the basket for me, it was all for everyone else and that was the clincher. i'm glad i got them. they've been fun. check out how this last pic is psychedelic.

i am kind of OCD about things. i like to organize things. i've been that way since i was a child. i may have blogged about this before. i used to go to my grandma's house and organize everything she owned and then whenever she didn't know where something was; i always knew, so she'd ask me. i am always organizing everything in the fridge... throwing away old stuff, stacking things

this australian shepard? wandered into our yard, yesterday and he was very friendly and he followed me into the house and we were petting him and realized he smelled really bad so i gave him a bath and he played in our yard for about five minutes and then off he went. The Beatles Nowhere Man just came into my head. when music comes randomly to my mind, i think that is a message to me.

the woman in this surreptitiously taken photo was so astonishing to me, i had to try and get a shot of her. i wish i could've taken a better one so you could really get a visual on this. apparently she'd been out to the lake, maybe vacationing, so she was all tan (mostly red) but she was morbidly obese and she was wearing a bikini top and a little terry cloth wraparound skirt. OH MY GOSH.

totally emotionless except for her heart

my son says i am fat. i don't know if he means it or not. well, it's true that i do have some fat on my body. sorry for being obsessed with this. it's annoying. this is the car that my now fiance just purchased. it is currently in redondo beach. he has to do a bunch of paperwork and wait for something or other so, he'll take possession of it soon. here is a swimsuit i just bought.

perhaps you have noticed that i switched over to the new version of blogger. i really love it. if you can read some html, you should be fine... oh but i spent like a day on it, while it might take someone who has a job a week to finish... unless they also work on it at night, but whatever. blogger makes it all as user-friendly as possible and i really am happy with it. if you
