Day at Stu's

THIS PAST SATURDAY ME AND MEADOW SPENT PRETTY
MUCH THE ENTIRE DAY OVER AT STU'S HOUSE.

I LIKED THE COLOR OF ME AND MEADOW'S 

COFFEE MUGS WITH OUR PHONES.

I ALSO LIKED THE WAY MY WEEKEND 

NAILS MATCHED THE COFFEE MUGS.

WE WENT ON A WALK TO LOOK AT A POSSIBLE

HOUSE FOR ME AND ERNIE TO RENT BUT WE

ONLY FOUND THOSE WILDFLOWERS I POSTED ABOUT.

I MADE MY RAT SKULL HAIR CLIPS AT STU'S AND

MEADOW DID HER NAILS ALL KONAD STYLE.

SOOO CUTE WITH ALL THE FRUIT IN DIFFERENT COLORS!

STU'S FRIEND SHANNON COOKED FOR US TOO 

AND I THOUGHT IT CAME OUT AMAZING!

AVOCADO AND PINEAPPLES...

AND LIKE A SESAME CHICKEN OR SOMETHING.

I THOUGHT IT TURNED OUT REALLY PRETTY TOO.

AND THERE WERE DRINKS TOO OF COURSE.

STU MAKES A DAMN GOOD MARGARITA!  WHO KNEW?!

I FOUND MEADOW'S PLATE FROM WAY BACK WHEN

WE MADE MANCH HIS MUSTACHE BROWNIE IN OCTOBER.

IT SERVED PERFECTLY FOR LIMES!

AFTER STU'S I WENT TO SEE HOLY ROLLING EMPIRE 

PLAY AT PLUSH.  MORE ON THAT SOON!!!

Dead Bird on the Wire Update

QUICK UPDATE ON THAT DEAD BIRD THAT IS STUCK ON THE

TELEPHONE WIRE- IT'S STILL THERE!  MEADOW TOOK SOME

UPDATE PICS AND VID FOR ME SINCE NOW I CAN'T EVEN

PARK ON THAT SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT.  THE FUCKER

HAS MOVED!  ZIP-LINED ITS WAY TO THE GATE ENTRANCE.

SO SICK!!!  PLUS, NOW IT HAS BEEN THROUGH A COUPLE 

STORMS AND IT IS MANGLED.  I AM JUST WAITING FOR A 

PART OF HIM TO COME FLYING OFF AND HIT ME IN THE FACE.

I AM NOT SURE IF WHEN IT FINALLY DISAPPEARS

I WILL ACTUALLY FEEL ANY RELIEF OR IF IT WILL 

SCARE ME MORE TO NOT KNOW WHERE THE FUCKER 

IS AT ALL TIMES.  I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT.

☹ ☹ ☹

Penn and Teller

LAST FRIDAY NIGHT MEADOW AND I SAW
PENN AND TELLER AT CENTENNIAL HALL
(AS I MENTIONED BEFORE HERE.) 

I WAS SOO EXCITED!

THE STAGE BEFORE THE SHOW STARTED.

I LOVED THE SHOW BECAUSE I JUST PLAIN THINK

THAT PENN IS ONE OF THE MOST AMAZING PEOPLE

ALIVE.  HE IS SOOO SMART AND HUMBLE!  MOM SAID

THAT THEY WERE BOTH THE NICEST GUYS.

THE SHOW ITSELF WAS NOT NEARLY AS SMOKE AND

MIRRORS AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.  IT WAS MUCH

MORE COOL FOR ME TO SEE THEM SHOW THE AUDIENCE

HOW EACH TRICK IS DONE AND HOW MAGIC DOESN'T

REALLY EXIST AT ALL.  PENN IS A BIG ATHEIST AND HE

KEPT SAYING THAT THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS AS

MIRACLES.  THEN HE'D DO A TRICK ON SOMEONE TO

DEMONSTRATE HIS "PSYCHIC ABILITY".  IT WAS GREAT.

THERE WAS A TON OF AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION AND

YOU COULD JUST TELL THAT PENN AND TELLER DO THIS

BECAUSE THEY LOVE TO AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH THE FAME AND FORTUNE.  THEY GENUINELY ENJOY

TO PERFORM FOR PEOPLE AND MAKE THEM HAPPY.

AND YOU KNOW HOW I ALWAYS TAKE A PICTURE OF
US IN THE THEATRE?  WELL THIS TIME AN EMPLOYEE
CAME UP TO ME AND TOLD ME I COULDN'T TAKE PICS
INSIDE THE THEATRE (EVEN THOUGH THE SHOW HADN'T
EVEN STARTED).  SO THIS DOWN SYNDROMED PIC
OF ME IS GOING TO HAVE TO DO!

AFTER THE SHOW PENN AND TELLER RAN OUTSIDE
AND SIGNED AUTOGRAPHS FOR PEOPLE.  I HAD TO GET UP
REALLY EARLY THE NEXT MORNING FOR A TRAINING AT
WORK BUT IF I HADN'T, I WOULD'VE TOTALLY HAD THEM
SIGN SOMETHING FOR ME.

ALSO, I AM LOVING CELEBRITY APPRENTICE WITH PENN
ON IT RIGHT NOW.  HE JUST WON AS PROJECT MANAGER IN
THE LATEST EPISODE AND  HE DESERVES IT!  THE WHOLE
CAST THIS SEASON IS PRETTY FUCKING GREAT THOUGH.
I HAVE A TOTAL CELEB CRUSH ON PENN!!!
❤ ❤ ❤

Seda Update 3

OK, SO THE BLOOD WORK RESULTS ARE BACK AND

THEY SAID THAT SEDA HAS HIGH FATTY ACIDS IN HIS

LIVER AND THAT HIS LIVER WILL SHUT DOWN IF

HE CONTINUES TO NOT EAT OR DRINK.  THEY GAVE

US SOME PRESCRIPTION FOOD THAT WE HAVE TO

FORCE FEED SEDA THROUGH A SYRINGE.

THIS IS NO FUN PROCESS AS I'M SURE YOU'D IMAGINE.

IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY TO SEE HIM LIKE THIS.  HE WENT 

FROM FATTY-BOOM-BATTY-COULDN'T-EAT-ENOUGH-EVER

TO HAVING TO FORCE FEED HIM.  SO SAD.  IT TOOK US ABOUT 

AN HOUR TO GET HIM TO EAT IT ALL.

BUT WE WERE ABLE TO GET HIM TO EAT AN

ENTIRE VIAL OF IT SO THAT IS A GOOD SIGN.

HE ALSO GOT THIS PREDNISOLONE TO HELP HIS

APPETITE.  WE HAVE TO CONTINUE WITH THE IV THOUGH.

IF HE DOESN'T START TO EAT AGAIN BY THURSDAY THEY

WERE TALKING ABOUT SURGERIES AND BIOPSIES RANGING

IN THE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.  NOT AN OPTION.

CROSS YOUR FINGERS.

Rat Skull Bow Ties

I'VE BEEN MEANING TO MAKE THESE FOREVER!

AWHILE AGO MEADOW'S DAD BROUGHT US SOME
RAT SKULLS FROM HIS WORK (HE WORKS AT THE UNIVERSITY
TOO).  MEADOW AND I PAINTED THEM AND SHE MADE
EARRINGS AT THE TIME.  THEY ARE NOT FINISHED BUT
AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY ARE AMAZING:

I WANTED TO MAKE HAIR CLIPS THOUGH.
I USED SMALLER SKULLS.

THE THREE NEON SKULLS GLOW IN THE DARK.

I GOT THE CLIPS TO MAKE THEM OUT OF AT THE $1 STORE.

THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD ITS BOTTOM JAW STILL.

THIS ONE REMINDS ME OF ELEPHANT EARS.

SO FAR EACH TIME I'VE WORN THEM NO ONE
HAS EVEN NOTICED THE SKULL.  IT MAKES ME
FEEL LIKE ELMYRA FROM TINY TOONS!

►☺◄

Seda Update 2

SO SEDA GOT HIS BLOOD WORK TODAY AND IN THE 

MEANTIME THEY'VE SENT US HOME WITH SOME SUPPLIES.

WE FIND OUT THE RESULTS OF THE TESTS TOMORROW.

SEDA IS STILL NOT EATING AND THEY SAID HE'S DEHYDRATED.

THIS IS ALL NUTS IN THE BUTTS.

KITTY PEPCID

 AND A HOME IV KIT.  SERIOUSLY.  HERE ARE THE NEEDLES.

AND THE FLUID PACK.  IT IS ON A COOKIE SHEET

TO GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HOW BIG IT IS.

HERE'S A CLOSE UP OF THE INSTRUCTIONS.

SO ERNIE HAS "VOLUNTEERED" TO TAKE ON

THIS PART OF THINGS.  I AM NOT A FAN OF NEEDLES.

BUT SEDA NEEDS EXTRA FLUIDS SINCE HE'S NOT

DRINKING OR EATING SO HERE WE GO....

Wildflowers!

WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME BEAUTIFUL WEATHER

AND THE FLOWERS ARE HERE TO PROVE IT!

Practice Space

THIS LAST SATURDAY ME AND ERNIE KIDNAPPED
MEADOW AND WE MADE HER GO TO STU'S BAND PRACTICE.

IT IS A CLASSY ESTABLISHMENT WITH
THE FINEST ACCOMMODATIONS.

THE HELL FOLLOWS IDEA BOARD-

THE OTHER HALF OF THE BOARD HAS THEIR

LINE UP FOR THE UPCOMING SHOW ON ST. PATRICK'S

DAY.  MORE ON THAT, AND DAD'S HOUSE 

THAT DAY, AFTER IT HAPPENS.

NOT THIS PAST VISIT, BUT AWHILE AGO I WAS

IN THE PRACTICE SPACE AND I HAD TO PEE.

THIS IS A WORST NIGHTMARE FOR SURE.

I HAD TAKEN PICTURES TO DOCUMENT THE HORROR-

I DARE YOU TO TOUCH ANYTHING!

ERNIE DID THE TOILET UP FOR ME REAL NICE.

NEVER ASK THE QUESTION, "IS THAT BLOOD?"

YOU DO NOT EVEN WANT TO KNOW THE ANSWER.

NO MIRROR, BUT HEY, THERE'S SOAP.
IT TRAUMATIZED ME.  I WOULD RATHER
GO PEE BEHIND A DUMPSTER OUTSIDE.
AND NEXT TIME I WILL.

Borderlands

A COUPLE FRIDAY NIGHTS AGO MEADOW BROUGHT
ME TO BORDERLANDS IN DOWNTOWN TUCSON.

I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE AND I HAD NO
IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT.  WHEN WE FIRST WALKED IN
I THOUGHT IT WAS A COUNTRY BAR, BUT I WAS
QUICKLY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH THIS
PLACE.  THEY WERE SO LAID BACK.  THEY DON'T KEEP
REGULAR BAR HOURS AND  WERE ONLY SUPPOSED
TO BE OPEN UNTIL 7 PM BUT STAYED
OPEN LATER FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE THERE WAS
A CROWD STILL.  THEY ONLY HAD TWO BEERS ON TAP,
AN IPA AND A VANILLA PORTER.  BOTH WERE FANTASTIC.

THE RESTROOMS

WE WERE AT MEADOW'S COWORKER'S BIRTHDAY
GATHERING SO I DIDN'T WANT TO BE OBNOXIOUS WITH
MY FLASH, BUT IT WAS TOO DIM INSIDE TO GET GOOD
PICTURES WITHOUT THE FLASH.  OH WELL!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!
GO IN PERSON AND SEE IT YOURSELF!

Greek Food

WEEKENDS ARE ALL ABOUT GOING OUT TO
EAT AND DRINK.  LAST WEEKEND WE WENT TO FRONIMOS
WHICH IS A GREEK RESTAURANT.  IT WAS MY FIRST
TIME THERE.  ERNIE SUGGESTED IT AND HAD BEEN
THERE BEFORE.  MEADOW CAME TOO.

WE GOT TWO APPETIZERS- HUMMUS AND DOLMADES.

WE ORDERED A LOT OF FOOD AND ENDED UP

HAVING A LOT OF LEFT OVERS TO BRING HOME.

GREEK FOOD REMINDS ME OF BUFFALO A LOT.

SOUVLAKI IS TOTALLY THEIR THING!

Ernie's Cat

ERNIE IS BACK TO SEWING AND THIS TIME HE IS

MAKING A PLUSH CAT (OF COURSE).  HE SAID HE FULLY

INTENDS TO MAKE A PLUSH BUNNYHEAD AND KITTYHEAD

SOMEDAY IN THE FUTURE THOUGH!  HE IS MAKING THE CAT

OUT OF AN OLD VELVETY HOODIE OF MINE.  I'VE HAD IT

FOREVER.  HERE'S A PICTURE OF ME WEARING IT BACK

IN ITS GLORY DAYS WHEN THE ZIPPER STILL WORKED-

IT WAS A GREAT HOODIE BECAUSE IT HAD THE VELVET

LINING ALL THROUGHOUT THE INSIDE TOO.  THAT IS SO RARE.

 I WILL POST MORE AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSES!

ALSO, I LIKE MEADOW'S BOOTS A LOT.

THEY REMIND ME OF MR. KATE!

Weekend Nails

GOT ANOTHER BIG WEEKEND AHEAD OF ME SO 

I MADE SURE TO DO MY NAILS UP RIGHT, KONAD STYLE.

THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO STICK WITH ONE PATTERN,

BUT NOT ONE COLOR FOR BOTH HANDS.  IT'S CLOSER

TO NOT DOING EVERY FINGER DIFFERENT THOUGH.

AND A NICE CUTICLE RIP FOR THE CAMERA.

DELIGHTFUL.  THIS IS ACTUALLY A GRAY BUT

IT CAME OUT WHITE LOOKING WITH THE FLASH.

WHAT'RE YOUR BIG WEEKEND PLANS BUNNY BANANA?

☁☀☂☁☀☂☁

Stu Passes Out

LAST WEEKEND WE ENDED UP AT STU'S HOUSE
AND STU ENDED UP PASSED OUT (NO SURPRISE THERE.)

SO I PUT MY JACKET ON HIM AND TOOK
A PICTURE.  MEH.  NOTHING BEATS WHEN TREVOR
SUPER GLUED FAKE PRINCESS NAILS TO HIS HANDS!

I ONLY HEARD ABOUT IT, BUT THAT IS PURE GOLD!
