Paying my muni citation= :( Bye bye $50 dollars.

so great

this post is dedicated to my roommate who is in love with sandra lee and says i never post about him.



so great. so great. "NOTHING IS MADE FROM SCRATCH!". where did this lady get this gig and how do i cash in on writing recipe books where nothing is made from scratch? her white blonde hair and pulled pork sandwiches makes me drool too, b.
ahahahha i know i'm going to receive some hate mail from all the sandra lee fans (what kind of idiots...) out there.

Update

I can't believe it's Dec. 21st already. I didn't think I'd survive the winter here in SF, but here I am freezing my socks off. I don't feel like going out or doing anything; it's rainy and cold.
I start school here January 6th. Crazy.
It's nice to be in a city during the holidays though. It actually feels festive. Although it can be overwhelming it's nice to see the tree up in Union Square, ice skaters, the Macy's holiday window displays.
I'll be home this week. I'm excited. Lots of catching up to do, friends and family alike.

Yesterday

while shopping around the Fillmore I met Joanna Mendicino . You might've seen here ridiculously cute bird vases and such around town or on etsy. Joanna grew up here in Northern California, studied at Berkeley, and went on to pursue her interests in ceramics full time.
Joanna was super sweet, and if I had more of a holiday budget this year I would've gotten a vase for myself or someone I love. Anyhow, if you're thinking of gift ideas, her stuff is beautiful and sweet, and it's always great to support local independent artists.

making peanut brittle

bad economy+no real job=make your own holiday gifts.

he looks happy.

Art

New show up at Rare Device.
Trish Grantham! Trish is an artist from Oregon. She collects vintage Japanese paper (Reader's Digest, etc.) and paints over it with acrylics. The gloss comes from covering her paintings with resin. Really cute stuff. Buy it online at Rare Device or come take a look at the show; it'll be up until Jan. 27!

This is cool

Whatever happened to muxtape? There's this now, though. Make me a mixtape!

So many

things to do.
Gotta get my act together! Transcript requests. Recommendations. Christmas and New Year's. I'm feeling the rush.

I got one of these woodburning kits yesterday at the art store.

Um. So now I can, draw on wood I guess. And solder. But wait, there's more!: Woodburning, Leather Crafting, Soldering, Stamping, Paper Crafting, Hot Knife Cutting, Pattern Transferring, Embossing, Stencil Cutting, Personalizing and so much more.

Making things

It's okay if things don't come out perfect.

Nice night too.
