burning the letters

Some photos!

Last week- green heart random silliness:

Brown Baby Treeson & some of Mikey’s CDs:

& I’m addicted to Animal Crossing again (for the DS) & I love random shit like this. Since when does soup have caffeine? Heh:

& On Friday, I got to hang out with Kate & Zach! Yay! (Peter Pan, I tried to call but couldn’t find you :/ ) We had sushi & went book shopping. I took a bunch of photos of either awesome or totally insane books. I love this one:

& This is the most insanely overcrowded cover ever, but, hi, it’s Shatner, so I love it anyway :)

& Loveliness!:

(& How overwhelmingly adorable is that drawing of Tom? Aw!)

& More books over at my Flickr.

& Here we are:

Cuteness!

& Mikeypants & I, on Friday night:

Cozy!

& One of his awesome vintage records. I was madly in love with The Banana Splits when I was little, so I especially dig this one:

& I also dig lime popsicles:

& Estella:

(Although I’m not sure how much she digs me. Heh.)

& This is me, this evening:

& My lovely new RDF totebag:

More soon! xo

Hi!

I had a lovely time tonight with my best friends Kate & Zach & Pete. It was brilliant & hilarious & so much fun. Oh, yes.

Here’s a short video of us. It’s pretty awesome & you should totally watch it. Sorry that my laugh is so strange. Heh:

Me & Kate:

Kate & Pete:

All of us, taken with the time-lapse on my camera. If we are making strange faces, it’s because it smelled like total ass right there. EW:

Me & Kate & Zach. I love this! Kate snuck in and that? Is the best surprise evah! :)

Peter Pan & I. I climbed up on a ledge :) :

My shoe & Pete’s shoes:

& A pretty downtown building, under which we took the video:

Oh, man, I’m lucky to know those kids :)

& Also, fried tofu rocks my world. And I tell too many stories about Shatner. And I couldn’t stop laughing at the way our waitress drew out the “you” in thank yoooooooooouuuuuuuuu. And there was a sushi roll on the menu that had mozzarella cheese in it. SRSLY! Ew. And Kate found something on there called an “octopus ball.” Hmm. And a middle-aged woman tried to talk me up in the bathroom and then moaned while she was peeing. Um. And we decided that I must impregnate Pete so that Shatner will notice me. Yep. Heh. And lots more.

More soon. xo

Picture time! From last weekend:

Pretty lake pictures, taken while sitting on the edge of the dock:

Lovely:

(Can you spot the Baby Treeson?) :)

& Speaking of darling Baby Treeson:

& Mikey:

& Me:

More soon! xo

A few photos!

I got this adorable pendant from Laura’s etsy shop. Go buy stuff! :)

Aw, apple :)

Some dolly pics-

Susie Sad Eyes & Blue Baby Treeson:

Pretty Licca doll:

& Hee, I love this, because it shows just how much Fenchurch loves her Chanel No. 5:

Oh, yes. Best perfume ever!

& Tonight, after work:

(Wearing contacts for once. & Dude, I need to cut my bangs. They grow way too quickly.)

& Being silly in my bathroom tonight:

& Totally yummy tofu noodle bowl that I stopped & got on the way home from work tonight. I definitely should just eat at home, because I do have food here, but I’m spoiled by Mikey cooking for me & he’s out of town, so I thought I’d treat myself to this:

Tasty!!

Tomorrow, I’m headed to North Idaho (yeah, I work there, but I’m headed further north) to a lake where Mikey’s family has rented a cabin all this week and through Saturday night. The lake is Cocolalla, which I can’t stop saying, because it cracks me up. Plus, it contains “Lalla,” which makes my Lalla Ward loving self happy. Hee. Anyway, I’m a little freaked out because I have never driven up there before. I’ve been up there many times, but mostly as a kid when we would go to the theme park that’s near there, or to a lake or something. I’ve just never driven myself up there. Oh well. I don’t mind driving adventures. And I can call them if I get lost.

I am totally going to slather myself in the highest SPF sunscreen I can find because I hate hate hate sunburns. I don’t tan- I burn. And I rather like my vampiric pallor, honestly. Heh. I enjoy being super pale.

Anyway, yeah. We’re going to go out in a boat, which is pretty cool. I’m not scared of water at all, which is strange, considering the myriad of things I am terrified of. I think it’s because I find the water soothing, and because I am a strong swimmer, if I have to be. Mikey & I get to take the boat out by ourselves, which will be great.

I’ve managed to shower & get a bunch of laundry done since I’ve been home. I need to pack some stuff, too, but I’m being lazy & procrastinating by watching videos on YouTube, including Shatner’s “Rocket Man” performance from the ’70s (seriously, it’s genius and really touching. Silly and over-the-top and campy, but genius, I swear. I’m in love with the man, though, so I’m not the most objective audience, obviously. And I adore the early use of video technology. It’s pretty hilarious.) I’ve probably seen it fifty times, but I JUST KEEP WATCHING IT. I don’t know why. Heh. Oh well.

Thanks for reading!
More soon! xo

Lovely boyfriend recently bought me this awesome 1973 Easy-Bake oven! I had a late '80s one when I was a kid, but this one is so much cuter & cooler:

Yay!

& Tonight's theme? Blythes & Books! :)

Estella & some of my poetry books, specifically Anne Sexton:

Romana & some of my literary criticism books:

& Cinnamon & Wodehouse!!

Yay! I adore books, obviously, & love my girls to bits, so I thought the combination was perfect.

More soon. Thanks! xo

Lots of photos! :)

Early morning light filtered through my bedroom curtains:

& Oh, man, this hurts my head times a million. It’s on this Bush-isms calendar we have in the copy room at work:

Seriously, trying to figure that out hurt my head much more than translating French ever has. I am not a fan of butchering of the English language. At least it’s good for a joke in some cases, though. Seriously, this takes the cake.

Lovely wildflowers, taken near my apartment:

Recently, I decided that I simply HAD to write on my arms with Sharpies. I wrote two different song lyrics that I adore. This one is from The Verlaines’s “Joed Out”:

& This is from Pink Floyd’s “On the Turning Away”:

At work, one night last week:

& On my classroom’s chalkboard:

(It means “be nice” in French & is also the title of a lovely Chantal Goya song.)

& Awesome miss Sarah recently sent her zine to me in this envelope:

I LOVE IT! Mrs. Shatner for the win! :) Thanks, dear.

& Me, after a shower last week. Wet pigtails & squishy face OF DOOM!:

& Wonderful, beautiful, majestic Zachy  (can you tell that I love that boy? :) ) & I went to sushi last week & it was perfect. I’ve missed him so much. Here we are, afterwards:

Cuteness!

& The adorable Mochi treat that I got for dessert. I love Mochi ice cream so much, but this was the kind that is filled with sweet bean paste. It was a little weird at first (gooey and stretchy pink coating filled with what looked like red beans) but tasty! An adventure! And pink :)

& A sign in a downtown bookstore, taken that night. It’s for Indiebound.org:

Love it!

& Me & miss Fenchurch!

Thanks so much for looking & for commenting :) More soon! xo
