Thank you for checking for updates on my blog.

Buuuut....

Why waste your time doing that when you could be watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog?
Why haven't you before?


Orrr...
Why not watch Fiest on Sesame Street instead?

The Night Starts Here

"On the evening of June 30, you'll see Mars just above and to the right of Regulus, while Saturn sits above and to the left; the trio will resemble an arrowhead that night with Saturn making the arrow's tip.

On the evening of July 1, Mars will appear perched almost directly above Regulus. The color contrast will be quite striking, especially in binoculars: Mars appears yellow-orange, while Regulus is bluish.

On July 5 looking low in the western sky about an hour after sundown, you'll see a waxing crescent moon, with Regulus, Mars and Saturn all oriented in a straight line in that order, from lower right to upper left. Mars will be situated almost exactly in between Regulus and Saturn. On the following night, the moon will have shifted eastward, forming a broad triangle with Regulus and Saturn, while Mars will have moved noticeably closer to Saturn."

Blaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.........g

I can't wait until September 16, when I can watch Pushing Daisies whenever I want.

Yeah yeah, I can do that now with the internet, but it's not as fun to watch show in tiny little screens with ads running on the sides. Also, I want to sprawl out on my couch and watch.

Also, I cant stop listening to Radiohead's "House of Cards".

97% done with the owl. I just need to figure out that stupid left foot. Can I hide it behind something? Maybe he is riding a rocking horse.

It's a bit chilly right now. That makes me super happy.

Someone I am friends with on facebook but I really can't stand (don't ask me why we are facebook friends) wrote his status as "so-and-so can touch his toes while only bending at the waist". I really want to write on his wall "Well la-tee-da. Color me not impressed, Bartholomew Bragger. I can do that too, and I'm a fatty!"
Then I realized that is childish. Then I fought back and forth with myself and decided not to do it.

I started a new painting today. BIG MISTAKE.
It was so hot today that the paint would dry mid stroke. Then I would go to get more paint, and that too had dried. Do you understand how much paint I lost today?! Do you?! I would try to go the whole stroke, but I'd end up rubbing off what I had already painted.
I'm a very quick painter. The last painting I did took me an hour and 20 minutes, and that's only because I had to repaint the whole thing when I made a mistake. I'm not used to this slow painting. This is why I've stuck with acrylic! Bah!

Uggg... it's so wrong, but I can't fix it.

It's not going to get any cooler this summer, so I guess this painting is going to take forever.
I was also planning on fixing a painting I did earlier this year, but I guess that's being put on hold.
I freaking hate this!!

Eggs

Why I don't like them
  • Think about what they are. Just do it. I dare you.
  • They smell horrible.
  • When you can't find them at Easter, they smell even worse.
  • They taste kind of weird.
  • There is the fear of breaking one open to find a red spot, or even a half developed fetus.
  • The membrane. *shudder*
  • Getting out the tiny shells that have fallen in.
  • They kind of look like snot on the inside.
  • Under cook them and they can kill you.
  • They break too easily, and storing them is a pain.
  • Separating the white from the yolk is also a pain.

When I do enjoy them
  • Cakes, cookies, baking.
  • Meatloaf.
  • French Toast
  • Icing and such.
  • Throwing them against walls.
  • Egg yolk paint (Tempura)
  • Crushing them in my hands
  • Sometimes (main word: sometimes) I enjoy an egg salad sandwich
