Holy Frijoles! Sorry for the lack of updates...I am crazy busy! Have you seen The Brini Maxwell Show on the Style Network? It's brilliant, it's so funny. I suppose those of you who live in NYC may have caught "her" cable access show, I would have loved to have seen that. I think my boyfriend is in love with her, which, I don't know...is a little strange. We each have a list of our favorite celebrities and whatnot that we are allowed to run away and get married to if the situation arises. His list is full of people like Kate Winslet and Beyonce. I would not characterize Brini as "bootylicious", but at least she has style. It seems like I keep seeing the same artists popping up on the sites I frequent: Small
and Round I have been enjoying the fabulous comics of Moontoon. We have been
drinking Broker's
Gin lately. It's good gin, but my favorite thing about it is the little
plastic bowler hat that comes with the bottle. I have amassed quite a collection.
I keep thinking they will coming handy one of these days. I got my hair cut yesterday. I am currently searching for a salon that I reeaaaly love and a hairstylist I reeaaaly feel a connection with. Which is something I think a lot of people are looking for, actually. I have tried the only two places in this town that I know are Aveda salons. I don't think I am going to go back to either, definitely not the one I went to yesterday. Dear hairstylist, Looking like you would rather be any place else doing anything else than cutting my hair and transforming me into the "super" me does not a big tip make. Sincerely, Inverted bob that is too "Dorthy-Hamel-perky" and not enough "I-am-an-artist-hip-and-interesting." On the plus side, the shampoo she used is the most wonderfully smelling smell I have smelled in a long time. I forgot to ask what she used. I am thinking perhaps Shampure, because I have heard rumors of it's glorious scent. I am going to have to go back and sniff some poo. Shampoo that is. And speaking of sniffing, J and I have been sniffing my head in 30 minute intervals for the past 24 hours because the scent of my head is THAT good. I also got
a lovely lipglaze
called Wineberry. It's the perfect "My Lip But Better" color.
I love it the most, ironically, because it does NOT smell. I cannot stand
lipgloss that smells like Dr. Pepper, Banana Splits, or Vanilla. Having
scent that close to my nose is a no-no. Not that it's entirely fragrance
free, it has a hint of mint, which I can tolerate, which goes away pretty
quickly. And it doesn't have a flavor. I also hate flavors.

Ooh! PERFECT, I wouldn't have to nail anything together. I found a
"30 things to do in my 30th year" list
from mipmup, which was inspired by Keri
Smith's list. I am currently compiling a list of my own. It's harder
than I thought it would be. So far most of mine are things like: "learn
to silkscreen, learn to throw pottery, learn leather craft..." It's
been challenging to figure out what sort of things I want to do in my life.
I don't really feel the need to climb a mountain or skydive or anything
like that. Should I be ashamed that getting Tivo is a major life goal?
Watched Secondhand Lions last night, it was okay...a little schmaltzy. The BEST part of the movie, in my opinion, was at the very end when they showed the main character all grown up as a successful cartoonist. I immediately recognized the work of Berkely Breathed. I love that man. I am still sifting through the lasted issue of Bust, and checked out a site feature in an article. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. I particularly like what they did with the Alice in Wonderland theme...I think that's really clever. I have been asked by some friends of ours to design some baby themed invites, thank you cards and such and have subsequently been drawing babies like crazy for the past few weeks.
I will post
the finished product once they are done. It's been a hoot. March
4, 2004 I have been to Las Vegas several times, mainly accompanying my parents to one of my dad's pool tournaments, and I have had a ball every time. We are going to have dinner at Aureole which has that massive wine tower with "wine angels" on mountaineering harnesses zooming up and down fetching wine. Here is the tasting menu....drool...since it's my birthday, I get to dictate the activities list. On thing for certain is a trip on the Star Trek Experience and a Warp Core Breach. Nerdy drunken debauchery...I can't WAIT! And now...for
a special announcement...
I am so excited about Knit
Wit: 30 Easy and Hip Projects. It's been great to see the evolution
of Knitty
and the collaboration of all the knitters is just a wonderful thing. I
am honored to say that I have been asked to join in the collaboration and
create the illustrations for the book. I am so frickin' excited I can hardly
contain myself. March snuck up on me. It's March already? I ran out
and picked up the latest issue of Bust,
after reading about Posie's
write up from Not
Martha. I am so impressed and inspired by those of you who put forth
so much effort into creating. The
alphabet craft punch
