Midweek on the playing fields
Sir thwacks you on the knees
Knees you in the groin; elbow in the face
Bruises bigger than dinner plates

i tried to recreate the Boredoms’ Vision Creation Newsun album cover with mah friends

































my america’s next top model pose and my imitators

here are 3 funny pfeiffer beach pics from young’s camera

sorry i haven’t been updating as much as i used to. i used to blog from my old job during bored idle moments and hardly ever at home. not much of those opportunities now with my newish job, but at least i am content between the hours of 8 and 5 now thanks to good company (pun intended).

here’s more pics from the last couple of weeks. bay meadows, bingo night at the knockout and other neighborhood bars, roasted chicken and baseball on tv all day with pallies, handmade gifts from friends and me forced into making button rings after getting into a seinfeldian fight with another crafter on etsy, and me freaking out at a $4 gas sign before a long road trip. don’t worry about my mental health, i’m fully aware of my fickleness/neuroticisms.

young started working w/ felt again and me a letter a with a bunch of cutesy adornments.

i’ve asked him to make me a hammerhead shark biting a manta ray in felt form next but he rolled his eyes at that. i still dream.

i got into a fight with some paranoid imbalanced seller on etsy.com who accused me of not having a coupon code for a 10% discount when i really did. i got so mad that i canceled my order because she was so accusatory and passive aggresive bitchy with me and transparent passive-aggressive behavior make me nuts. so blah blah blah i told her off and said i’d rather give my money to a non-bitchy seller, etc. but then she put up a bunch of cool stuff on her store a few days later that i wanted badly, so i asked young to buy stuff for me so i didn’t have to eat crow under my gov name/shipping address. i felt so dirty, like i had an addiction to drugs except instead of drugs it was some cutesy diy crud that was quality and ridiculously underpriced. it was like that one seinfeld episode with the fruit bodega where they got banned and asked non-banned folk to buy bananas for them.

anyway, so i bought $50 worth of button rings and necklaces from her under young and then realized that shit is so easy to make once i stared at it. thanks to britex for introducing me to my new friend mr. fiskars diagonal cutter. this thing is amazing i can cut anything with this, weirds me out that i haven’t seen an infomercial for it cutting through cars and frying pans. i’m glad i realized i can make this stuff myself but i still am mad at her and asshurt that i gave her more money after she accused me of trying to bilk her out of 90 cents. i blame my moms’ excessive pride genes. she was a diva during the war.

a bunch of random pics i finally got to uploading from the past 2 weeks, mostly from my phone and a few from my digicam. opening night at at&t park with fireworks, art opening at receiver gallery, pork chops nights, olympic torch relay & protest near my work, and random pics of coworkers. i love my new job. since i worked at the mall with young as a teenager back in the day, there hasn’t been a job where i could say that i enjoy all of my co-workers’ personalities and senses of humor. so much in fact, that some days i look forward to going to work. never thought that was possible as a corporate lackey. hams unite!

so a bunch of gigantic unknown animals were found off of Antarctica. young showed me this nat’l geographic link. what the hell are these things? other than beautiful, awesome and amazing, i don’t know.

maybe those guys can tell me what this x-rated sea creature is that i picked up at the monterey bay aquarium when i was a kid. i’m starting to think it is a sea cucumber of some sort.

this woman looks so much more happier to be holding her sea cucumber than i am

then again, hers looks like a Pokemon character. mine looks like something not on a kid’s show…

(hot dog bun)

today was the first time i’ve ever been summoned for jury duty for a criminal trial at the hall of justice on bryant st. i’ve always been assigned to the civil courthouse which has been renovated and is kinda fancy, almost opulent. on the contrary, the criminal courthouse was a depressing place, seemingly neglected & dilapidated with bailiffs escorting defendants in handcuffs down the hallways. i counted approx 8 bail bonds places across the street, many door to door.

around the corner alley there were even more. there was one called “helena bail bonds” with a girly sign with multicolor blinking lights that i wish i took a picture of.

i dodged the 8 week trial but had to be pinged back into the jury pool for another trial. that one came to resolution before the jury selection process and i got dismissed. i’m glad. i can read about it in books or watch it on a screen, but i sometimes feel physically ill when i hear about details of real life violence. i think criminal cases in general are inherently depressing.
