Globey

I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING

SET UP FOR TODAY'S BLOG (OR THIS ENTIRE

WEEKEND FOR THAT MATTER, GOO!)

SO HERE'S A BLOG ON

GLOBEY!

MEADOW AND I MADE THIS CAKE FOR 

OUR BELOVED FRIEND JESUS.

I CALL HIM J.

I DID NOTICE A COUPLE THINGS THAT I

HAD FORGOTTEN TO MENTION IN MY 

LAST SPHERE CAKE AFTER PARTY.

 HOPEFULLY I CAN REMEMBER THEM NOW!

THIS GENERIC CHOCOLATE CAKE RECIPE

FROM FRY'S IS THE BEST SO FAR FOR SPHERES.

IT HOLDS WELL AND IS VERY FORGIVING.

 ONE THING I DEFINITELY FORGOT TO MENTION

BEFORE IS HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT YOUR

CAKE BE COLD BEFORE YOU BEGIN ICING IT.

AFTER TAKING IT OUT OF THE OVEN, I LET IT SIT

FOR 20 MINUTES, REMOVE IT FROM THE PAN,

AND PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE FOR AN HOUR.

ANY WARMTH WILL LEAVE YOUR ICING

DRIPPING OFF THE SIDE.

FUCK I WISH I HAD SOME PICTURES

OF THE DISASTER CAKES!!!!

THAT WOULD BE SOOOO GOOOD!

OH WELL.

GLOBEY WAS PRETTY SIMPLE TO DO.

HERE WERE THE ACCESSORIES:

I MADE THE HANDS OUT OF CARDBOARD.

NO PAINT NEEDED, IT WAS ALREADY

THE EXACT COLORS I WANTED. 

 WE USED A NOSE PENCIL SHARPENER.

MEADOW HAD IT ON HAND.

BRILLIANT.

 BOTTOMS UP!

FOR REAL.

THAT'S HOW THIS CAKE WORKS.

NEXT WE ASSEMBLED THE STAND:

 WE DRILLED HOLES INTO THE BLACK STAND

SO THAT THE SKEWERS COULD GO ALL THE WAY

DOWN TO THE CAKE CARDBOARD.

WE ALSO HOT GLUED THE CAKE CARDBOARD

TO THE PLATE.  WE NEEDED SOME SERIOUS

WEIGHT ON THE BOTTOM AND A VERY

STURDY STAND FOR TRANSPORT.

SPHERE CAKES ARE HEAVY SO

ANY BASE MAKES THEM EXTREMELY

TOP HEAVY.

WE USED A CHIPPED PLATE SO THAT IF IT

GOT RUINED OR WE NEVER SAW IT AGAIN

IT WOULD BE OK.

IS THAT A COUCH IN YOUR 

(MEADOW'S) KITCHEN?

WHY YES!  YES IT IS! 

THANK YOU FOR NOTICING!

 REGULAR FROSTING WORKS FOR THE MIDDLE.

NO NEED FOR DECORATING ICING HERE.

GREEN NOSE GLUE.

EEW.

 MEADOW DID THE FROSTING FOR THIS ONE.

SHE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB!

 SHE'S MUCH BETTER AT THIS THAN ME.

EYEBROWS!

 GLOBEY LOOKS SO CUTE, LIKE

HE'S SITTING STILL FOR MAKEUP.

 WE BARELY HAD ENOUGH ICING

TO FINISH HIM!  HE TOOK 2 BOTTLES

OF BLUE, ONE BLACK, AND ONE GREEN.

WE DID WAY MORE CONTINENTS THAN

IT CALLED FOR JUST TO HAVE ENOUGH

TO COVER HIM!

SO LONG AS THE ARMS, EYEBROWS, NOSE, AND

BLACK LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE LINES

WERE THERE THOUGH, HE'S STILL GLOBEY!

VIOLA!

HOT GLUE GUNNED THE ARMS TO THE BASE

AND IT'S DONE!

THEN WE TRANSPORTED HIM

I HELD HIM AND MEADOW DROVE

TO J'S (ALSO TREVOR'S) HOUSE.

HE LOVED IT!

 I AM USUALLY NOT AROUND FOR

THE CUTTING OF A SPHERE CAKE.

WHEN I AM THEY ALWAYS SEEM

TO NOT WANT TO CUT INTO IT.

I HAVE NO PROBLEM DOING IT THOUGH!

Locker Storage

QUICK BLOG ON A FUN IDEA

MEADOW HAD:

SHE GOT THIS LOCKER UNIT FROM HER

WORK.  THEY WERE GETTING RID OF IT.

MEADOW PUT IT IN HER KITCHEN, AND

IT IS PERFECT FOR KITCHEN STORAGE!

 I LOVE MEADOW'S OUT OF THE BOX IDEAS!

(LIKE THE COUCH IN HER KITCHEN!)

THE LOCKERS MATCH HER METAL BLINDS TOO!

SHE HAS SUCH CUTE STYLE!

HERSELF, HERE IS A KITTY UPDATE!

MEET MR. MUGS!

 THIS IS ERNESTO'S CAT, MR. MUGS!

HE IS 2 YEARS OLDISH AND STILL

HAS MANY KITTY FEATURES. 

(GRR! AND CUTE!)

HE IS ALSO THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR TEACHING

BABY KITTY (DAKOTA) HOW TO PLAY FETCH.

HE LOVES:  HAIR TIES AND BOTTLE CAPS

HE HAS THE PRETTIEST PATTERNS!  

HE HAS AN AMAZING CIRCLE ON HIS SIDE.

CRAPPYPHONECAMERA  2011©

I THINK HE'S PART BOBCAT CAUSE HE WAS

FOUND ON A DOORSTEP OR SOMETHING

AND HE LOOKS LIKE THE DESERT MUSEUM

MASCOT.  PLUS HE'S A VICIOUS LOVER.

ALTHOUGH I THINK THE DESERT MUSEUM

MASCOT IS ACTUALLY A MOUNTAIN LION,

NOT A BOBCAT.  YOU GET THE POINT THOUGH.

WILD FELINE!

JIP UPDATE:

ALL IS WELL IN FATLAND

MY NOT-SO-LITTLE BEACHED SEAL.

YAWN!

I WOKE THEM ALL UP FOR THIS

PHOTO SHOOT.

JIP WAS THE LEAST COOPERATIVE.

YOU CAN JUST SEE THE

"FUCK YOU" IN HIS EYES.

HE LOVES:  STRANGERS, FEET, AND PURSES

JIP HAS TAKEN TO LIVING UNDER THE COUCH.

EASY ACCESS FOR WHEN HE HEARS

ATTENTION BEING PAID TO ANY OTHER CAT

OR TO GET FIRST DIBS ON A STRANGER

WHO MAY COME BY.

SEDA UPDATE:

IT AIN'T EASY BEING A GANSTA.

SEDA HAS BEFRIENDED TUPAC CAT AND IS

NOW HOLDING HIS OWN ON THE STREETS.

HE STILL COMES HOME ONCE IN AWHILE

TO CHECK IN WITH THE OTHER CATS.

HE LOVES:  GATS, CATS AND SHINY OBJECTS.

AND AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, JUST

GETTING HIM TO POSE FOR THIS WAS

EXCRUCIATING.  (BUT HE WAS STILL

MORE COOPERATIVE THAN JIP.)

HERE'S THE OUTTAKE REEL:

 HE'S SUCH A CUTE LITTLE ANIME CAT!

  

I USED THE RED EYE FLASH ON HIM 

CAUSE HE ALWAYS GETS THOSE VERY 

RED EYES BUT HE JUST ENDED UP CLOSING

THEM EVERY TIME INSTEAD.

 "WE'LL JUST PUT THIS ON YOUR HEAD..."

 "NO, NO, NO!  HERE, KINDA....

JUST PUT YOUR HEAD UP....

NO, LIKE THIS.  LIKE THIS!"

"HERE I'LL FIX IT.  IF YOU'D....  JUST STAY STILL!

STAY STILL!  JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD STILL..."

 "THAT ONE CAME OUT LIKE BUNNY EARS.

LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN.  LOOK AT THE CAMERA!"

 "WE'RE NOT DONE YET.  JUST LET ME....

COMMON NOW...."

*HATEFUL EYES BACK AT ME*

 "OK!  WE'RE GETTING CLOSER NOW!

JUST LET ME GET A DIFFERENT ANGLE..."

"HMM.  LOOKS LIKE A SHRINER HAT

WITH A HELLO KITTY BOW.

MAYBE IF WE JUST TURN IT AROUND...."

"UM. NO."

"HA HA HA!  

YOU LOOK LIKE THE GRINCH!

HA HA HA!"

*UNAMUSED EXPRESSION RESPONSE*

"HA HA HA!

YOU LOOK LIKE A CLEANING LADY!

HA HA HA!"

*UNAMUSED FIDGET RESPONSE*

"MAYBE IF I JUST GOT UP TOP HERE...."

"WHAT IF I FOLD IT DIFFERENTLY?

MAYBE THAT WOULD WORK BETTER?

HA HA HA!  YOU LOOK LIKE THE POPE!"

ANYWAY, NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE WAS

NOT NEARLY AS AMUSED AS ME.

I KEPT CRACKING UP AND HE'D JUST

LOOK AT ME LIKE

"YOU KNOW YOU'RE A RETARD, RIGHT?"

YES, SEDA.

I KNOW.

The Past Last Sunday

THIS PAST SUNDAY WAS OUR FRIEND ALLIE'S

BIRTHDAY.  SHE HAD A PARK PARTY AT SUNSET

AND IT WAS GORGEOUS OUTSIDE.

MEADOW WRAPPED HER GIFT IN A

TRADER JOE'S BAG I HAD AND USED

SOME OF ERNIE'S HEMP AS RIBBON.

IT TURNED OUT GREAT, 

ESPECIALLY WITH OUR LIMITED

SUPPLIES:

THERE WAS AN AMAZING SUNSET:

AND THEN WE STOPPED OFF AT THIS

HOLIDAY MART WHERE THE GUY IN THE

CONVERTIBLE HERE WAS SMOKING

A BLUNT AND BLASTING THUG MEXICAN MUSIC.

JANNELL WAS AT THE PARTY TOO.

WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS AT

FIRST SO I COULDN'T GET GOOD PICS.

THEN I JUST GOT LAZY AND

STARTED DRINKING KEG BEER.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST WANT TO

HAVE FUN AND NOT TAKE PICS.

SOMETIMES.

 BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT THESE MUFFINS

CRYSTAL MADE WERE TO DIE FOR!

THEY WERE PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE 

SOMETHING AMAZEMENTS.

I THREW ONE IN MY PURSE ON OUR WAY OUT.

IS THAT STEALING?

AND THEN THE NIGHT ENDED WITH SOME

MAGIC TRICKS FROM A TUCSON

 HIPSTER.  I LOVE WHEN MEN WHO LOOK

LIKE MATADORS IN PASTEL BLUE SUITS

DO MAGIC FOR ME.

TUCSON CHARM.

I WISH I HAD GOTTEN A PIC OF HIM THOUGH.

THIS WAS THE MAKEUP I SPORTED.

 ERNESTO LEGS IN THE BACKGROUND.

CUTE.

I DID ORANGE ON TOP, RED ON THE BOTTOM.

 LOTS OF MAC GLITTER.

ALL AROUND A FUN NIGHT!

IT WAS REALLY TOO BAD THAT ALLIE'S

HUSBAND DISLOCATED HIS FINGER

EARLY INTO THE PARTY AND HAD 

TO LEAVE TO GO TO THE ER.

WE KEG BEER CHEERSED TO HIM

AND THE PARTY WENT ON.

☝  ☟  ☝  ☟

Mimobot And I Get Weird Sometimes

FALL BRINGS OUT WEIRD THINGS IN ME.

LIKE PICKING THINGS UP OFF THE GROUND

(MORE THAN USUAL).

YESTERDAY ON MY WAY HOME

FROM WORK I FOUND THESE ACORNS

AND THEN I WENT ON A 

GROUND-HOARDING ADVENTURE.

SIAMESE TWIN ACORN SHELLS!

I LOVE FRACTALS!

I FOUND THIS WAY COOL POD TOO:

IT'S FULL OF THOSE BURNING BEANS

WE USED AS KIDS, REMEMBER?

YOU RUB IT AGAINST THE CONCRETE

AND IT GETS REALLY HOT?

I GRABBED A BUNCH OF THEM.

AND I ALSO FOUND ONE MY FAV GREEN BEETLES:

 ONLY SLIGHTLY DAMAGED, TOTAL SCORE.

ALL THE LOOT TOGETHER:

I'M THINKING I CAN DO SOME COOL

AUTUMNY DECORATIONS, PERHAPS

FOR THANKSGIVING!

NO SOLID IDEAS YET, THEY COME LATER.

AND THEN I TOOK THE LOOT

HOME AND MIMOBOT GOT WEIRD WITH IT.

IN HIS HOT BEAN BATH TUB

 BONJOUR!

BUT THEN HE REALIZED THAT THE

SIAMESE BERET WORKS BEST FOR HIM.
