My Canvas: A Story in GIFs

I'm still pretty excited about having all my GIFs organized, and I'm definitely better with pictures than I am with words, so I've decided to tell you about something that happened using them.

I was getting out my canvases this week and noticed this:

It happened sometime when I was in Utah, and I don't want to point fingers but there were only 2 people that entered my room while I was gone. Anyways...

At first I was like


Then I was like


After the shock was over, I was a bit like


Which quickly turned into


I've calmed down a bit. Now it's mostly


and still a little bit of


But it's going to be


I've looked up canvas repair, and I'm going to fix it, because...

Bah humbum and all that.

I don't like this season. I admit it! Call me Scrooge, I don't care. It stresses me out. I also don't enjoy happiness and joy being forced down my throat. Give me some space, guys! Just because I don't like one holiday doesn't mean I'm Hitler.

...Aaaand in a totally unrelated note, I've organized my gifs and this makes me extremely happy.

'Tis the season already?

Can you believe how close Christmas is? I heard Christmas music in the stores last week. It made me slightly ill. Where has Thanksgiving gone?

Well if the rest of the world is getting ready for the holiday, I might start to think about it. What' the best way to start thinking about it? Christmas wish list of course!

I always feel bad sharing my list, because it makes me feel like I'm being selfish. I'm just going to try to get over that, and post it.

Stacey's Christmas Wish List
(in order of desire)

Sherlock DVD
Surprised? You shouldn't be.
I wasn't sure I wanted this at first. The PBS edits make me angry, and I have all the episodes and special features on my computer. Then I found out that the DVD has the original edits and I decided I must have it.

Earth (The Book)
The Daily Show's new book. My bookshelf cries for it.

Clock Locket (clocket!)
Isn't that awesome? The seller has lots of different styles, but this is the one I want. I've seen some great necklaces made with them, but they sell for $30+. Ridiculous! With this, I can make my own for much cheaper.

Guess Who? Silly Bandz
Yeah, I'm asking for Silly Bandz. I'm obviously 11. You shouldn't be surprised. If you look closer, you will see that this pack has Sherlock Holmes! I have friends who I can give the others to, but I want that Holmes band so badly!

Speedball Block Printing kit
I've been wanting to get into block printing for years. I did it in high school and fell in love.

Now this next part is different. These are things I want, but I'm not sure I want them enough to ask for them for Christmas or if I should just wait for my birthday/when I get some extra money.

Blue Barracuda Sweatshirt
Holy crap! Who remembers "Legends of the Hidden Temple"? Blue Barracudas was my team, baby!

Exploding Dog shirt
This is one of my favorite Exploding Dog comics (Are they called comics? I don't know) and it's on a shirt!

The Hound of The Baskervilles Shirt
I just can't say no to anything Sherlock Holmes. I'm not sure I would wear that color, though.

Back where I belong

I'm back in California. What a trip it was! What did I do after last post? Boy, what didn't I do!
I stayed with cousins, my brother, my other brother, and then my sister.
I went to another concert.
I went to Wyoming.
I saw went to the movie theaters twice.
I ate at little diners.
I made sugar skulls.
I got lost too many times to count.
I shouted abuse at haunted mill employees.
I stayed up in to the wee hours of the morning with my cousin.
I enjoyed the views of the canyons.
I saw my friend Kristi.
I watched an entire television series via Netflix instant.
I celebrated Giants baseball.
I had a blast.

The trip ended because my grandpa passed away, and while that was sad he lived a long and great life and passed peacefully. My grandpa was always a hero of mine and I feel so privileged to be related to him.

Utah-tastic

I've been in Utah for a few weeks now. So what have I been up to?

• Battling first the flu, then the cold
• Catching up with cousins
• Hanging with the siblings
• Watching summer storms
• Avoiding the heat
• Attending/watching concerts (with more on the way)
• Obsessing over "Sherlock"
• Picnicking in the canyons
• Looking at great art
• Not missing any episodes of The Daily Show
• Eating great food
• Having big laughs
• Loving every minute of it
  

Brilliant Deduction

There's a new Sherlock in town, and it's amazing.

The BBC has made a new mini-series of Sherlock Holmes set in modern day called "Sherlock". It's absolutely incredible. Not to mention that Martin Freeman plays Watson and I just adore him. Also, Benedict Cumberbatch (How's that for a ridiculously British name?) has the most fascinating bizarre shaped and angled face with oddly shaped eyes. It's almost alien-like

You need to watch this. It's not going to be played in America until October, but there are other illegal ways of watching it now. I suggest you do.

PS- I'm in Utah, and will be for at least a month
