tattooing is the hardest thing i will ever do... probably.
im so exhausted. i always am on mondays... the weekends kill me. yesterday i painted my room and moved some more stuff in.
im tired.
come and get tattooed. i wont fuck it up... (hopefully)

is it just me???

or are embroidered pen15's totally charming???

today is super relaxing. we were both off on sunday (easter), so we accomplished most of our weekly chores then, which has left today open for lounging around. how lovely.

i posted some new stuff to my flickr add me as a contact...suckers.

justin and i will be attending the philly convention next month....oh joy!

umm... okay. bye.

it all makes sense now

do you ever pick up "highlights" magazine at the dentists office and play that game where you pick out all the things that are wrong with a particular picture, and then feel really smart??

genius take a minute to read the comments....amazing.

art by cory lenherr...
im starving slash exhausted. i updated my OS to whatever the newest version is....tons of fancy bells and whistles.
go to kitsune noir for fun radiohead inspired desktops (and lots of other awesome info)
okay. im bored.

im sleepy. its super quiet at the shop today... thankfully. it was crazy yesterday, and i worked my butt off...so much so, that my legs were actually a little sore this morning. only a few people have been in to get work done, and we are booked today, so i am just setting appointments and what-not.
a couple cute blogs ive come across...
scout
wool and water

my tummy is sick. i woke up at 4am, and was sick. bleh. lyn is out of work today, so there was no way i could stay home. i have been drinking "gingey" and eating saltines, so hopefully, ill start to feel better.

rikki kasso....tokyo undressed.
ive probably posted this before....?

meredith dittmar... too lazy to link... google it.

im at work.... its dead today. i made a new purse, its pretty sweet. i worked on two others today, but i keep fucking them up... i guess theres a little bit of a learning curve. sigh. im kinda tired.

bjork wanderlust

has everyone already seen this??
i think lindsay lohan is really beautiful, and i refuse to say anything mean about her, this photoshoot, or her freckley body. (shudders)

i know i rarely post links anymore.... so heres a super amazing one to make up for it: joshua davis

ugh. i am really not trying to work today. i started a new piece yesterday, and i have a lot of "piece work" to do before i actually get to do the fun part of putting the composition together. its insanely nice today. justin and i got chipotle and went to the mall to trade in some levis that i had bought and was just unhappy with.... guess what!?!?! i went down an entire size! (and that was after stuffing my face with delicious burrito-numminess)
then we went to stranges and i got three new tiny succulents for my collection. if you havent been to stranges at short pump, you should def. go, its so awesome. its just past the mall on the left, and it is the biggest greenhouse i have ever been to, they have pretty much everything.
anyway, i want soy icecream.

wow. i am so sleepy after doing yoga this morning... i was doing okay until i sat down...bleh. i am still doing super good with my no soda/no red bull ban. i had a glass of ginger ale yesterday, but only because i had the worst headache EVER.... never let me drink andre again-PLEASE?!?!?
so, yeah, ive managed to do yoga three times this week, which is pretty exciting. i really want to get back to where i was, as far as flexibility/strength, because the month i took off over xmas, really did me in.
oh yeah, i still havent had one bite of meat.... im awesome.
i uploaded some wip (work in progress) pieces, from the latest piece ive been working on. i will upload the finished version today...and hopefully pictures from justins bday.
i got to see zhanna on friday night....unfortch, she didnt get in until 1am, and i was already deep in an andre induced intoxicated state, but we had a lovely time regardless. we went to ipanema for last call and then came back to my place for tasty spinach and feta pizza, followed by rest, followed by breakfast at joes inn. it was REALLY great seeing z, and she left just soon enough for me to not get annoyed with her...jk.

i seriously need to step things up, production-wise, i think i am starting to understand why most people have out-of-home studios. i feel like i spend FAR, too much time everyday cleaning. justin and i are completely incapable of picking up after ourselves...(esp. justin). a month is really not a long time to get a solo show ready, and i have definately never done so under such time constraints. i really dont want to be rushing things at the end of next month....like every other show i have ever done.
my soda ban is doing alright. i say alright, because today i am really wishing i had a coke. along with quitting my soda intake, i have also quit drinking redbulls...well, mostly.... i steal a couple sips from justin every day... and i am trying really hard to cut donw on my dairy intake. ive been getting super sick lately whenever i eat a lot of it, and in reality dairy products are really gross.
alright...enough screwing around.

okay, so im actually just updating because i am trying to put off walking my dogs. its completely grey this morning, and if the temperature in my bedroom is any indication, it is also freezing out. its not so much that i mind the walking part, more like the layering part...putting on millions of clothes. pants, socks, long sleeve shirt, hoodie, wool coat, scarf, gloves, boots.

tomorrow is justins birthday!!! yesterday we found a grey nipple hair... he laughed about it, but i think he was secretly bummed.... i probably shouldnt be announcing this news to the entire internet, but i have a sneaking suspicion that no one reads this blog anyway.

i had announced on myspace this week that i had something exciting in the works, and although i am not ready to make any further announcements... it seems that things are getting better and better. i should have more information after a meeting next monday.

ok....dog walkie time.
