Happy Birthday!!

Wow!!! Two posts in the same week?  Talk about a miracle!
Anywho, my Sister celebrated a birthday last/this week (I blogged a bit about the planning a while ago.) and I am back with pictures!


I gave her David Tennant for her birthday.  Best present ever, right?  He's still mad because I gave her a fez for her birthday too.





Happy Birthday, Mac!  Until next year.. *mwa*

My Foray Into Sculpting

I meant to post these pictures a long time ago, but you know me... I... Um.. I'm not punctual?  I don't know exactly what to call delayed blogging.
Anyways, I did a clay workshop last month and this is the person I made!


Her name is Triska and she is a Witch-In-Training who works in a book shop in New York City.  She uses spells to fix old clothes she finds in thrift stores & vintage shops... As you can see, her magic isn't very strong. 
This is Triska's familiar, Woody (yes... he's named after Mr.Allen.)



I had so much fun during this class.  The only experience with clay that I had had was a one night class in an introduction to art type thing about five years ago.  Pretty much everyone else in the class were water colorists, art teachers and one craftsman... So I felt very inadequate.  It turned out to be tons of fun and my teacher was fantastic.



Once she's been fired and I paint her I'll post more pictures!

Some Thoughts I'm Having


I wish I was better at expressing my thoughts.  That might be an odd thing to blog about, since that is exactly what blogs are, outlets for thought expression, but I’m really not great at expressing opinions and thoughts quickly.
Really swiftness isn’t the problem…  I rarely can explain the reasons for my answers promptly.  You can ask me, “What’s your favorite movie?” and I’ll answer “Scared Stiff.”  Then comes the part I hate.  “Why?”  I know why I love the movie, I just can’t really explain it to you.
Just now, I have deleted and re-written so much of this post, because I can’t figure out exactly why I’m writing it.  Although I know why.  I just don’t know how to say it.

Ok… I’ll just go back to posting pictures of shiny + sparkly things.

The Living Wake

I. Love. This. Movie.
I can't really even express how much I love it.  It made me want a rickshaw even more than I already did.
And now you can watch it for FREE on Hulu!!  Yayay!!!
Go watch it now!

Title

How's 2011 been treating you?
I'm quite happy with this year so far.  Right now, my life is pretty busy between work, classes and planning my Sister's Birthday Celebration!
Unfortunately, I can't share too many party details right now (You never know who might be reading ;) ) but I can tell you that the theme is British and I will be wearing these shoes:


Also, here's a few pictures I've taken with my Instax so far.  I'm still getting the hang of light settings, but this is the most fun camera I've ever had.  It's more fun than those disposable water proof cameras we would have during the Summer when I was a kid, and those are pretty damn fun.
 Yeah...  I'm not great with the camera yet... But I'm working on it!
