buzz on + shopper’s clearance rack = new organic backpack? i thought it would be a good biking grocery bag. fil suggested longboarding. good one, it’s almost like he was there with me.

one of my tweets is being printed in a book along with a ton of famous people quote/tweets. poor fil, it’s a line i ripped off him when he was on the phone the other day. oh well, snooze ya lose right.

part 1

part 2 (you shoulda skipped part 1)

my brother took this photo.

at one point when i finally stop screaming you hear dave behind me let a big one go (1:14) and all along before that too haha. this was our third time on it i finally got the courage to hold my camera during the ride hanging on with my middle finger shoved through the tiny kewpie strap, the time before i wimped out at the top of the ride and shoved it in my pocket before we plummeted. after that i made videos on every ride and even got told off over a speaker to put it away, dave too. we all had to take chill pills and 5-7 beers each throughout the day to get by. fil‘s acting all brave in this video. dave wussed out of making a video this time he clenched it down by his side and after each ride his hair was standing on end like edward scissorhands. i made a video of a little girl crying cos she was too small to go on this teacup ride then i gave her my blythe button and she was still crying but took it anyway i wanted to tell her dad you know that thing was probably like ten dollars can you make her say thank you. haha. more photos and videos to come on this post so keep checking back. also hi amanda we eventually went back to your beer station (the only one serving in the park!) and you were gone.

my brother blowing cig smoke at me, gross.

we finally arrived and everyone is super anxious so we had a chill pill and headed straight for a beer stop. the older you get the more sensitive i guess.

good thing dad was on the scene.

ok fil’s hand in this shot is an accident but we saw this happen more than once yesterday. if you’re um, husky, you cannot ride the behemoth (which is why they have a seat at the beginning of the line for you to test out, they need to be more vocal about it though). it’s really embarrassing for the person cos the workers take turns trying to slam down the thigh rest over and over and then the person has to do the walk of shame then they announce sorry for the wait everybody are you ready to riiiide!? dave got a shot of this guy making eye contact with him CRINGE. also fyi do not wear your bap-style hoodie to wonderland ever, we saw ten hundred of ‘em seriously.

here is the crying girl, she had to watch her mom and brother go on cos she was too little. i hope she keeps that button 4lyfe.

i wanted to film more of her less of the ride cos she was really sobbing hard but i don’t think her dad would have appreciated it.

post every ride dave’s hair looked like this.

do not wear a hat on the behemoth. dumb move. after you ride this thing, drop zone is a complete waste of time. it’s nothing. video of that too.

oh yeah the first ride we (my idea) stupidly chose to go on was the one you lie down on like superman. bad for queasy stomachs full of beer ha ha.

that is my nose juice after riding the dragonfire. WHAT it was cold!

before hair.

after.

complete waste of time the ride was jammed, we went through kidzone cos we heard there was a licensed patio but it wasn’t serving. fil and dave insisted on the ghoster coaster. yeah thanks guys.

beer decoy.

after walking the entire park for beer that wasn’t there, waiting in a line-up for nothing, i felt exactly like these muhfuckers. we went into this place you used to be able to drink at but now it’s so you have to buy the 20 dollar buffet to get in i was so annoyed i just walked out while the guy was still talking. wtf we came for rides and drinks not elaborate shitty banquet food what is this place, disneyland? ps. stop telling us where we can go get beer if it’s not actually being served you wasted a good 40 minutes of our time TWICE that happened.

nice.

purchasing a picture costs 14 bucks, f that. take a snap of the monitor quickly before they wipe it off. i found a funny one of a couple on top of a garbage can i bet noel would like it.

sweeney tod.

oh whatever fil.

i wanted to say to these teenagers haven’t you seen adventureland this game’s a rip!

top gun kills your ears/head. not fun.

the park closed at 8. it wasn’t open to the public yet so maybe that’s why some rides were rusty. we got cheap tickets too, it was nice having less people/crowds and the weather worked in our favour for that too i suppose.

here i am wailing like a dude cos i had lost my ability to scream by this point. i sound like a total goon i cannot even watch this video.

see how shitty drop zone seems in comparison to behemoth now. don’t even bother.

this game stresses me out beyond belief.

I was at an event this week where noteworthy writers/bloggers/(for lack of a better word)”scenesters” were mocking you… I honestly thought it was so sad.

thanks for the info, not at all surprised either ha scenesters always good for a larf, not at all predictable. say it to my face ya fucking queens. there is an irony to supposed scenesters even being at a blogging event but i guess that’s what makes them scenesters instead of working artists. email me some names so i know who to X out of my life xo.

aw lia <3.

for some reason i am whispering so you have to blast this. my delivery is pretty bad, i over thought that you may recognize me line way too much obviously. this is proof i should always drink before getting on camera. this was my second try at it too, the other day i made one in the bathroom and the sound of my voice was so loud in there it made the audio fart a ton.

basically do that ten times like a crazy person apply it like you are a 4 year old sneaking your mom’s vanity dresser. bye.

psst. The Dunes CD release party is at the el mo tomorrow nite and they’re playing with Ambisonic & Big Ideas, starts at 9 so be there ya square!

omg i love this video more than i love myself.

i love wilbur. he is the greatest dog. so sincere and obedient and playful.

and i like that he has to watch the road from the backseat over our shoulders.

he’s so petite too. man, monday was the worst weather ever, so miserable. i went to lise’s to finally watch grey gardens, we got about 1/4 through it before we turned it to drew barrymore’s version of getting through barely any of that one (i’ve seen a ton of clips on youtube so i know the story). too gloomy a day for that story. amazingly casted though, jessica lange was a dead ringer for big edith (when they age her). ooh nice. we also held some kittens at a vet and they broke our hearts i can’t stop thinking about their little mewling faces.

last ever photo of owl on the right. i moved the tv stand and it fell and smashed into a million pieces. sorry! i said imagine it smashed into my head and you would have to pick glass out of my hair and scalp? it was that close.

sigh.

that’s an André Ethier. chick is connected.

sorry!

see how my tan brings out the white of that couch and not the other way around.

wilbur was not at all scared.

when he gingerly rests his head here it means he is asking permission to sit beside you and then you say ok come up wilbur and he turns into a little ball omg i am so on my period right now bye.

oh one more thing, mara’s phone has been pocket dialing me, so far three times wtf. this morning it called me at 7.30am awesome. she emailed me this:

You must love that my phone likes to randomly call you.

Dontberaymidontberaymi…ugh. i must have just not locked the keypad. Sorry again.

haha it’s hard to be mad about it. my response:

hahahah yes 730 was a nice time to run out to the living room in an underwear panic who is dead who is dying whats wrong oh its mara back to sleep. i was having a long annoying nitemare anyway.

hangovers can be very inspirational. yesterday’s light bulb was all about steph‘s signature chili dip. i was so confident in my first timer’s quest i bought double each supply (in the case of chili i bought three cans you can never have too much of that hangin’ around)(what am i a suburban housewife?)

i went to honest ed’s to get the aluminum things, they didn’t have deep enough round ones so i went with square. i bought one tub of philly cheese there (i know it’s a gamble but whatever) then when i went to dominion metro i learned there was no bargain at all in fact, philly was on sale at dominion metro. so i bought another tub for back-up of the even lesser fat kind. steph is strongly against the light cream cheese like, strongly. we had a hangover gchat squabble about it yesterday in-between talking about how much we wanted to die and then matt said he puked three times and ordered the philly cheese steak pizza cos i blogged about it the other day. seriously world of products/companies you need to endorse me all fucking ready, i am magic. i say the word bench and people go buy lumber. think about it.

last nite we only made one serving and it was enough for the two of us. we went with the dynamite hot and it wasn’t at all spicy.

topped it off with heaps of old white cheddar.

in the oven halfway there. 350 for 20 minutes. at the end broil the top after you pour out some of the cheese fat (to crisp it a bit) which will break your heart because it is delicious fat. i may or may not have poured some into my mouth.

i surprised fil with beta house (it was filmed in our hood a couple years ago)(one time we walked all the way home from sharpie/samir’s at like 4 in the morning and they were filming an outdoor party scene and we were completely annihilated to say the least so we just stood and swayed and gawked walked around the block once and watched some more. they cut that scene down to nothing too ha) and it is crap. terrible. lots of boobs though.

then we watched the rocker. a lot funnier.

i would like to get my hands on another can of that bean less chili for next time.

on my way to get supplies in my own little world lia appears so we chatted for a few she is adorable. look how together she is and all for yoga in my head the whole time i’m like i am such a slob i’m on my way to buy chili and this chick is waiting for healthy take-out after yoga. anyway she blogs now!

miss j has the same bag. ooh girl!
