Woohoo! Record store trip!

Today I went to Georgetown records and totally scored huge! Spent $48.14 and this is what I got: SOOOOOO STOOOOOOOKED!!! I love that record store, it always has something absolutely awesome to find. I can't get out of there without something. Of course, I'm there to buy records so...

Anyway, very excited.

Been screenprintin'

Here are a few prints I've done since I learned how to screenprint. It's quite addictive! I think the process is what keeps me wanting to do it. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to get set up at home so that I don't have to drive across town to work in the space that I now rent to do it. I got plans.

Anyway, these are going to be in reverse chronological order because I think I'm getting better, so I'll put the most recent at the top. It's kind of a struggle to post these because I'm not entirely happy with all of them. I'm doing about 5-10 copies of each print, and most times only satisfied with one or two copies. Each print is a learning experience...sigh. I'm very happy with the roses and the jellyfish. I think I'll try the bike and wheat field/tree again, with a new strategy. Apologies for the poor quality pictures.

Here's a few my bf made. It was so nice to take the class together, and now we're renting the space together too! Helps for motivation, that's for sure.

And I'm back

Well, that was quite the break. I've decided to start blogging again, but mostly just to share my crafts and projects with anyone who might actually check this out. I've taken up some new hobbies and have honed my skills at some that I was already doing. I guess my newest one is sewing, but I'll also be posting pottery, knitting, jewelry, and any other little craft that I like, including screen printing which I'm taking next month. I'll also be sharing funny videos and pictures. Can't leave those out!

So here's the two sewing projects I've done so far this year, a pair of hotpads and a drawstring pouch for my current knitting project!

Sewing is so gratifying! I can't wait to do more.

Wow, this is some video alright.

The woman starring in this little number is named Brenda Dickson. She was on the Young and the Restless in the 80s and was fired in 1988. I have no idea who she is or why she's famous now, but this little video compelled me to blog for the first time in a while. It confuses me because it says it's a trailer for her 2009 home review, but clearly it was filmed in the 80s. You may ask yourself how I deduced this. Besides the most awesome outfits ever, this is what she looks like now in a non-photoshopped image from daytime Emmys recently:

The inset image is of her 2 years ago. Yikes, right? This woman seriously messed up her face. I gotta thank awfulplasticsurgery for this one.

Seth Rogan on Jimmy Kimmel

I'm a Seth Rogan fan.  There is a lot of laughing involved most of the time he is around (except Pineapple Express, I didn't really like that one).  He was on Kimmel this week and talked about being kiss rejected by Megan Fox on Kimmel, the first appearance for both.  Pretty funny when they pull out the old tapes.  Megan pulls a smooth transition, it's not TOTALLY awkward.  It could have been worse.  

For what it's worth, she's totally hot and I've always thought so. Nevermind all those comparisons to Angelina though.  Angelina=win=actress....Megan Fox=hot right now=eye candy.  

Thank you OnDemand

This weekend I was supposed to do fun things like go to an art gallery, the Capitol Hill Block Party, and get a tan.  Didn't do those things.  Should've.  Didn't.  C'est la vie.  Thanks to the wonderful hands of cable television, I did see three movies this weekend I would not have otherwise watched.  Last night was the classic "Boyz N the Hood."  Hadn't seen that one in a half-decade or so.  I forgot how good it was.  Although Cuba Gooding Jr. just isn't the same to watch for some reason.   Ice Cube was a delight on the other hand.  Also the clothes are awesome.  I miss the early 90s...no wait, I totally don't.

Also on and watched in its entirety (loving every cheesy, B-movie minute of it) was Mindwarp.  Filmed in 1992, this film is a wonderful escapade into the future where people plug themselves into computers for entertainment.  One renegade girl wants to live in "real life," causing the system operator to expel her to the distant regions of a desimated, radioactive earth to try and survive.  There she finds the one and only BRUCE CAMPBELL!  Yes!  He is the best.  They work together to fight the mutant cannibals that live below the surface.  Oh yeah.  It's really good.  The special effects especially.  Spoiler alert!  Her dad is the leader of the cannibals!  Who would have thought??!!  I just ruined it for you.  Sorry.  I know you just netflixed it and everything.

 

Last and least, I didn't quite finish this one.  "The Vampire Lovers" filmed in 1970 about a vampiress that has a thing for the ladies.  Not a great movie, not a lot of vampires, not really scary but lots of perky boobs and ladies in distress and almost kissing.   Lots of heavy breathing too.  Have to say that vampire movies have come a long way and it's interesting to see how it was interpreted in the early 70s.  Meh. 

Yes, you do get to see the boobs of the girl in the poster.

UPDATE:  

Thanks to OnDemand I got to watch Pet Semetary for the first time.  Although I was surfing the web some of the time.  It was a little scary there.  That kid, the cat....I still want to know how that little kid killed two adults with a scalpel.  They are sharp, they are, but really.  Swift kick could've done it.  

Could probably watch the next one.  Sort of want to know what happens next...

Who the F is Sandra Lee?

So there's some lady out there named Sandra Lee and today some people posted a video of her making..something....I'm going to guess meatloaf.  Looks super nasty though, and it's kind of funny at the end when she's like, "Look.. at.. that".  She knows it looks really bad.  I just want to know what the people she serves are thinking when it's set upon the table for their feast! Oh yummy yum yum!   Barf.

As a side note, it's really bad when you have your cooking show is called "Semi-Handmade Cooking."  Maybe I should try to get my own cooking show.  I semi-handmake tons of shit and I've been told I make a mean meatloaf.   

And OMG the videos they have for her on youtube.  Yikes.  This one's pretty nutzo.  She's decorated her Christmas tree like it should be done.  With cocktail glasses!  I know what you're thinking.  Someone finally did it and we've only thought about it all this time....

Dlisted has her up for "Hot Slut of the Month".  Agreed.

Cristiano Ronaldo

In my opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo is a pretty hot guy.  Total slimeball (hair included), but very hot nonetheless.  It's public knowledge of his penchant for easy women (Paris Hilton being one recently), hookers, and maybe some other extracurricular activities of the club/party scene.  That being said, I saw this short video (thanks to awkwardboners.com) and thought it was pretty damn funny.  His face is really focused on a thought, and I wish I knew what it was as it looks to be really meaningful shit to him.  At one point toward the end, he looks like a Tom Cruise/Keanu Reaves combo; furrowed brow and dumbshit look.  Love the music too.

Just for kicks for the ladies....

Today's wtf news: Cats with wings in China

This story is a bit old, but I've been out of the blogging business for a month and since I came across the pic randomly, thought I would share the story now!  Better late than never I spose.

Of course the link I had is no longer in service, so I'll have to do some investigating for the article.  Apparently some cats in China are growing wings at the age of 1.  They are born normal, with no other defects, but sprout wings for some reason.  The wings pose no threat to their health.  Some of the locals think it's the weather and the cat's attempt to get some lady friends.  I'm guessing it's environmental, but that's just me.

Here's a link to an article by the UK's Telegraph

Picture time!

Here are some pics I've found on the wonderful internet.  In no particular order...

That should do it for now.
