maria and the captain

yesterday was a time for firsts. the sound of music braids firsts. not bad not bad. fil dug ‘em they may or may not have led to sex. haha.

will soon require a new book shelf for coffee table-sized books.

the next time i dare speak on a panel i will wear these MF’ers.

and now it’s time for the shit i obsessively hoard and never dust component of this blog post.

this nxne rabbit has for sure got to be worth something by now.

pancake bear. jamie sent me him at least four years ago.

then we tried to smile with our eyes.

pancake head bear has an unfair advantage.

dusty head choco cat i bought from the sanrio store in times square when i was 18. if you ever come over or have been over you get a tour of my chachka shelf whether you like it or not. most people like it. then we go over to the fil shrine which gives me the opportunity to rip on fil for a good five minutes. FUN.

this is what my hair looks like with my eyes closed in case you were wondering.

this was my brother’s as a baby then it made its way into my room when he wasn’t looking and i finally tiefed it once and for all. he probably has some stupid name, can’t remember.

grade 9 pretention.

my miniature band-aid box is smaller than my pinky nail. you have to come over and see it in person i know alicia would faint. if a mini parcel box can almost bring her to tears then this guy for sure wll bring her to her knees.

lise, your hurro kitty has a nice new life. just an update.

“organization” land. ok i’ll show you what’s inside

(is this boring or interesting i can’t tell).

my zune and zune accessories live in here and lint brush refills as well as sequins i brought out from my sewing bag when sass and i (and brosz7) were watching america’s next top model and we saw sequins were being glued to their faces during hair and makeup for the season finale. so now the sequins hang out in this drawer. originally purchased for felt creature decoration which never happened. i like to admire them in their packages just like that. i’m a simple woman.

my paints. for the longest time i kept them in a big plastic bag and stashed it beside the tv along with other junk to give this place an endearing squalorish vibe. these drawers come right out so when i paint i just take the whole thing over to the painting station and off i go.

brushes, markers etc belong here. i bet only one of those sharpies barely works too.

more misc. junk ok i am actually getting bored now.

ankle/wrist weights heavier than the entire shelf stand itself.

cid and box update: no change.

then fil shoved me on the couch on our way out the door.

rolu is tops for people spying cos of that great big mirror.

this is what hanging out with fil is like.

ignored via mirror vision.

i like that it is always christmas at rolu just like in our place.

if your order makes it to 20 dollars, for two dollars more you can get another roll (or something else) so we did that to have stuff to take home for later.

i needed shampoo. i got that and more for 6.49 (that kit was originally $14) oh man how long til i get into amway?

those guys also might or might not have helped us hug with our pants off TMI right. they’re size large for someone who is between 69-87lbs ie. not a 26 year old. no matter, they fit and hello 2.99 from over ten bucks, seven pairs? decent. clearance rack is the first thing we beeline for, i think shoppers might be my favourite store now.

1.99 each from 3.99 – felt like a deal.

i think he likes my hair. i practiced smiling like kirstin dunst in the mirror (she often wears her hair like this) you know her teeth showing dimples vampire thing, um, does not work on my face.

i will master this ‘do to perfection.

we then watched smother (not bad, not too good, some really funny dialogue, but a tad spotty) and gran torino. oh man clint eastwood slays.

mardi gras headpiece/mask hanging up at southern accents i finally figured out what it was after all this time just figured it was some kind of cuckoo chandelier. we went for dinner with my aunt two nites ago there and had the prix fixe, so so filling. this is the only picture i took.

thanks for watching!

  1. Wearing “Maude” braids (as I like to call them) is one of the perks of having long hair. Nicely done! I love how you admire the sequins in the packages. I, um, can relate.

  2. I have a question about the “nail and toe art” stickers. Are they trying to suggest that, in addition to your toe nails that you can also put them on your toes? Please take a picture of that.

  3. e flo 1. make braids 2. take one and pull it up over your head acrodd your part til it touches the other side of your head and clip the end behind your ear. 3. do the same with the other side and play around with it until you get the end hidden behind the other one. it helps if you use clips and elastics that match your hair colour. maybe i will make a video.

    jamie you want a photo of the final product of my nails did?

  4. ya the braids look awesome and that takes skill getting them up der and lookin all not retarded-like, ive tried and failed so many times.

  5. i was thinking i totally recall seeing photos of you with this ‘do. fil of course critiqued the back of my part and how it wasn’t in the middle. thanks.

  6. yay! band aid box!

    i took a billion pics of the mail package. loaded them last night. JUST WAIT! it looks so adorable, everytime i go to bed i say “good night package” and then i go “awwwww, it’s so cute!”

    for real. i do that.

  7. grade 9 railroad picture looks like you liked the video for round here by counting crows a lot

    shot in the dark yes, funny if true, yes

  8. By the time I got to the bottom, I forgot what I was going to say about what’s at the top! Oh yeah… I love Pancake Head Bear. Stuff’s gotta really turn my crank to make it into my collection, and Pancake Head Bear is a total keeper. I would seat him next to my Biggie Smalls action figure, or maybe beside Gwen. Def. not near Spider_mans, and not so sure about near Yellow Submarine Beatles.

  9. No, not a picture of your toe NAILS with stickers on them, but your TOES with stickers on them. I was just questioning why they are called nail AND toe art — it sounds like, not only do you put them on your nails (finger OR toe) but also on the toes themselves i.e. the skin part. Oh forget it. Never mind. It’s not funny when you have to explain it.

  10. logically you would think nobody would care to see this shit, but in reality this is EXACTLY what people want to see of others’ lives, and that is your magic. i am continually impressed by your ability to hone in on what it is that makes us curious about each other.. good on you, girl.

  11. I stole my brother’s teddy bear when we were small too. But I still sleep with the bear and know his name. My brother once tried to steal him back but no dice.
