sara kari and zissou snuggle pile in front of the fire.

2008-11-16T21:44:00.000-08:00

I put a log in the fireplace and enjoyed its warmth for a while, only to get my space jacked by zissou. He crushed me and suffocated me then fell asleep. It was cute/horrible.

I love those so much! but they are too expensive.. :( 500 bucks man.

Ack.
What with being a bit behind with drawing homework, working, the art sale, and sam's birthday, I've been a little stressed. I'm ready for winter break.

Sara, Alice, and I went on an adventure the other day. Savers was having a half off everything sale so we woke up at 8 and drove to have first pick. We found some hilarious stuff and I managed to get a sweater, a pretty green bottle, a purple glass vase, a lion piggy bank, and a huge ass coffee cup for 18 bucks.
We stole some helium balloons from the store and I managed to pop one in my face.

After dropping Sara off Alice and I went and got flowers for my vase and she managed to convince me to stop at several places I hadn't planned on going.

It was fun.

Then registration and the likes.. I got every class I wanted so I am pretty peachy.

I am putting this dude in the art sale. He has no background, has a nice semi bend through his neck as a result of a rolling the paper up accident, and he's pretty random... so if this thing actually sells I'll be hella surprised.

If you havent seen him before a close up is here: click

Bird

2008-11-05T23:17:00.000-08:00

So while I was supposed to be working on my Media 2, I procrastinated and made a paper bird.

Its just made out of scrap paper and masking tape. I think i might remake a couple in chipboard and spray paint them. As for now this guy is flying in my studio.

2008-11-04T20:24:00.000-08:00

Yes! Obama won!

Both of my parents voted McCain. They're probably dissapointed.

2008-10-22T16:09:00.000-07:00

Colin, I don't give a crap if you've seen this already. I hadn't and i thought it was funny.

!!

2008-10-16T22:00:00.000-07:00

made me laugh. The talking part is lame though.

Geez McCain

2008-10-16T11:05:00.000-07:00

I suggest you watch it with the volume off because its a compilation and just sounds like stuttering.. but this video makes him look like such a little brat.

I love Hyenas. Sooo I'm going to nerd out about them for a second.
Fun Fact time.

1. Hyenas have one of the strongest bite forces. While the internet seems to be confused on the actual PSI, its confirmed to be way up there on the list. Right up there above pit bulls and below crocodiles. Just look at their heads. They are super round and wide to hold all those jaw muscles.

2. No one knows why but the females have enlarged genitals and an extra sack of fibrous tissue that look like testicals. SO basically they all have visible junk. I could go into more detail but I'm going to hold off.

3. Their front legs are longer than their back ones.

4. The babies are born with open eyes and developed teeth. They fight right at birth. If two females are born into the same litter, the stronger of the two will eventually kill the other.

5. Matriarch society, holla.

6. Lookit the striped Hyena. It's sweet. Also google brown hyenas. They are pretty awesome too.

7. Their digestive tracks can handle skin and bones. The only things they cant digest are hair, hooves, and horns. They regurgitate those back up in pellet form, like owls.

8. Their closes relatives are species like the mongoose. Not dogs. They are actually closer to cats than dogs. It's all because they can do the whole "leg straight in the air, lick your crotch" thing that cats do.

ummmm i think thats all i wanted to say.

I like this picture

Studio-o

2008-09-27T15:11:00.000-07:00

Turned in my app for a studio a week or so ago and lo and behold I got one.

I had thought that they were in such high demand that I would have to keep doing my work in the living room until next semester..

Anyway it's one of the third floor ones, last row, pillar in front of it.

I need to get stuff on the walls.

oh, and there's candy there.

Real Hair

2008-09-24T20:23:00.000-07:00

Holy shit guys. I needed an old photobooth pic of myself for a project.. and wow.

I first dyed my hair bright blonde half way through freshman year. Before hand it was murky blonde/red.
I must have forgotten because geez. It doesn't even look like me...

Behold, my natural hair color:
( Adina would like everyone to notice my attempt at a pouty look, and the stuffed batman behind me. Both are laughable, thank you Adina)

The light might be making it a tad darker..but..
I kinda like it.

2008-09-24T00:25:00.000-07:00

....I suck at it.

the phrase is lame anyway.
I just want to go to sleep.

Apple picking!!

2008-09-22T18:10:00.000-07:00

It was alot of of fun but very very warm. I wish I hadn't of worn pants.

There were some sweet goats.

My hair is pretty awesome.

We also got in an apple fight, picked yellow raspberries, and ate tons of tons of apples.

Football

2008-09-18T12:07:00.000-07:00

So.. football season.
I love football season.

I was looking through my pictures for class today and I found this great family photo...

To the left of my father's head you can just make out part of the wall and one of the scoreboards/lights of Lambeau Field. Also notice the cheesiness of my pose and the enormous height of my brother.
Oh. and my sister... eh

Annnnd

Munchkin cats. Basically the weiner dogs of the cat world. A genetic defect people thought was cute and selective bred for it.

Bruce Shapiro!
This guy is crazy.. basically just started messing with stuff and came up with these amazing things. He deals with Motion control.

So my favorite thing he's made is the easter egg colorer. It was the first thing he ever made, getting the idea from his kids coloring eggs.

Now he's been messing with engraving Emu eggs:

Sara, David, and I were youtubing bigfoot. Very amusing.

Hippy.

Not fooling anyone...

I am a sucker for fun junk that you buy and then wonder why you spent the money on it.
