Orange

hey hey hey

i've been suuuper lazy when it comes to the old
blog lately... there were NO scooter accidents,
just laziness. anyhoo, i hope the few of you left
reading this are well.

i got to see my female soul-mate,neko case on
thursday night... she was fantastic, as always.
the crowd, however, needed a damn attitude
adjustment... serio. but, as always, i enjoyed
myself and listened to some sweet tunes!

we also BBQ'd this weekend, always a good time.
i made my famous potato salad and all was well
on the home front.

another fun thing lately? marathons of the oh so
hilarious arrested development. gosh, why do all
the great shows come to an early end? sucky!

zombie fun!

here are some pics of us at the zombie party held
at the good old Launchpad...we had so much fun!
Craig and I danced and boy were we AWESOME!

me!


Craig and cool hand-eating zombie!


Me and Craig being infected... I have nice boobs.


Kelli looking affright!


Pat looking affright!


Keepin' it gangsta... always.


I can't find the words...


happy brain-suckling!

thank you, baby jesus!

my favorite girl is coming to abq. to sing to me!

monday already?!

today is rainy and grey... i SO wanted to stay in
bed this morning...

oh well.

i did have a SUPERB weekend, though.

on friday night, we stayed home, had dion's pizza
and introduced angus to freaks and geeks and he
really enjoyed it!

saturday was a super busy day! we got to sleep
in, which was awesome, then headed over to
amerasia for some delicious dim sum. this is my
favorite thing to eat there:

after that, we headed up to the heights for angus's first
soccer game of the season... they lost, but played well.

and after that, we went to see watchmen and it
THOROUGHLY.KICKED.ASS. many asses, actually.
i (of course) was crushing on almost all of the characters,
especially silk spectre II

...

and here's a photo of one of the coolest 10 yr.olds, halloween 2008:

he CLEARLY loves the comics like his pops... cu-ute!

on sunday, we cleaned the house like nobody's business.

it took me 4 hours to clean the the bathroom from top
to bottom. then another 3 hours to do the living room,
top to bottom. i felt bad for craig, he did the entire
kitchen by himself. now, we're not the dirtiest people
in the world, but apparently not the cleanest either.
what? i HATE cleaning almost as much as i hate folding
the white loads of laundry! too many damn socks!! oh, i
was ranting for a sec, forgive me.

after cleaning pretty much all day long, we had dinner here:


it was sooo good.

all of it!

little blinky...

R.I.P.
July 2008 - February 2009

the ameraucana with green feet.



you were so cute... you had those sweet green feet
and those crazy-ass sideburns that looked course
but were in face super soft. the few eggs you layed
for us were oh-so-perfect... i'll never forget you,
punk-rock chicken.

Lovers Day...

we will be at home, making dinner, having
some adult beverages and relaxing. we've
exchanged our gifts (practical like f*%k)
and i couldn't be happier.

love to all yous too!

Dear Friday,

thank you for finally being here.

This week, although it flew, was a
rough one. It's nice to see you.

xo,
me

I'm Crushing your Head!

Hi.

Hope everyone is well.

Had a lovely weekend, got to hang with some
funny chicks on Saturday evening, saw 2 ex's (shit!),
went home and watched Manu Chao on tv and
just enjoyed myself.

Sunday, I finally took down the Christmas tree...
it wasn't as horrific as I THOUGHT it was going to be,
did some housework, played at the park with 3 cute boys
and had a yummy roasted chicken dinner.

In between it all, there were also episodes of Kids in the Hall
and one of my new favorites, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
I have to say, it was a great weekend.


This weekend is also going to be lots of fun~
one of my best girls will be in town and we're
going to have a blast... we ALWAYS do!

3 girls and a lady...

found this picture and had to post it...

me, my sister lydia and my aunt lisa...
lady is the blonde famliy dog on the right.

christmas, circa 1979-80(?)

! Feliz Navidad !

i hope all of you are enjoying this
christmas-y time of year. i have taken
this time of year to eat and relax and
generally be lazy. i love it. and please
don't judge me... i said don't.

anyhoo, here are some more faves of
mine lately... yeah! more faves.

1. when frangela fills in for my
girl stephanie miller.

2. finding an old, but awesome morphine disc and
having it stir up old memories.

3. making and eating bizcochitos... we use lard in ours 'cause we
cool like that.

4. making and eating tamales, also made
with lard. yum.

5. the wire... obsessed! i'm seriously.

here's a little clip to get you in the holiday spirit!

isn't she lovely?

so my neighbor Char-char was getting
rid of some stuff and look what I was
lucky enough to come across:



I put her on my coat
and now I look cute.

Hello, Hello!

I got home from my work trip to Oahu
on Sunday and headed to the Frontier
so I could stuff my face with this:
I know.
Then later that evening I had Thai food
with the boys and was in a state of euphoria.
The next morning, I saw God.

ANYHOO...
I can't sleep on red-eyes because my ass
goes numb and that's a very uncomfortable
way to sleep, so I watched the in-flight flick,
Ghost Town, with the Office creator/genius,Ricky Gervais.
Check it out... although it's very predictable,
it's cute and witty. And Kristen Wiig's also in it.

I had a great time on my work trip.
I ate a lot (as always), worked, sang
@ Karaoke, saw sweet dolphins up close,
witnessed locals gutting fresh fish(2 diff
occasions!),took pictures like a tourist
and enjoyed the time away from the office.
It always helps when I get to travel with
a really nice girl who, although not nearly
as...bitchy(??) as I, can always join in on
the eye-rolling and shit talking that is,
lets face it, inevitable. Here are some pics
from the short week away:
the best shrimp truck on the island...
i ate ALL that shrimp and loved it.



...cute dolphin and beautiful Diamond Head...


... cook your own steak...
while enjoying one of the best. songs. ever.

then rock the house with a classic, "You Ain't Woman Enough".

me being tourist-y.






more later, gotta eat some Onion Soup.

also, one of our chickens, Hazel, is laying
mad amounts of eggs, 4 days in a row, but
that's a whole other post... stay tuned, chickenheads!

black friday

has been relaxing and nice so far.

no shopping, except for fixings for
this and out for a walk with this:


mmm, mayo + turkey = gooood.

a.d.i.d.a.d.

All Day I Dream About Don...
my latest obsession, Mad Men

unless you've been living under a rock,
then you probably know this is one of the
best shows on television right now. if you
haven't seen it, please do so. you're certain
to pick up a nasty smoking habit if you are
not currently on the nicotine.
incentive.
i know.

anyhoo...

i usually don't like getting outta bed
to start the work week, not sure anyone
does, but today wasn't so bad. i think
knowing that i get a whole day off on
thursday (with pay!) to cook and eat,
eat and cook helps. yes, a whole day.

i really enjoy waking up to feed the
chickens, also known as 'the girls'...
they are so weird. anyhow, they wake up
early and want to eat... a lot. they like
to talk and peck and run about all nimbly
bimbly. they sure are cute. and weird.

(my favorite girl, hazel.)

oh, and still no eggs.

also, i had posole for lunch today... yum.

(and you thought i couldn't be more random.)

check it...

thanks to the the alibi for the
lovely shout out...very cool.


that is all, carry on.

oh yeah.

Quantam of Solace opens this weekend...
I love you Daniel Craig.

saturday night fun

sharon jones & the dap-kings
will be on austin city limits this
evening... you can catch her
right after the re-run of snl
with kings of leon. and you
can do this in your pajamas
and bathrobe with a little/a lot
of red wine. or some cereal...
you decide.

FRIDAY= good times.

hi kids, hope you're all well!

as always, i love the weekends...
so much to do and it's almost
already the end of the month which
means Halloween and soon after that,
Dia De Los Muertos... which translates
into lots of fun and activities. we plan
on going to a parade in the valley and
i'm going to take lots of pics with my
loverly holga camera! it's been too long...

this weekend i am going to make sugar skulls
and i'm pretty damn excited! mine won't be
edible though because i got all sorts of beads
and rhinestones and shit to decorate them.
AND they're way to sweet to eat anyway. i'll
post pics later next week.

another AWESOME thing we're doing is
attending a rally for barack obama and i am
thrilled. odds are it'll be super packed and
barack will be the size of an ant... i don't
care, i wouldn't miss it for anything!

well, i should get back to work and
to playing scramble (a word game/time
killer) on facebook.

i made the cut...

ever take school portraits that were just awful?
feel like walking in the park and reminiscing?

go here.

thanks jezebel for the laughs!
