cool poster

but not just that; to make the text show you have to smear and smudge as you open up the envelope it comes in. see the process here.

being productive

talking to Caesar Pelayo this weekend made me feel productive, especially since i have tons of time now that i'm on break from school. we are going to work on art for jansen's zine and starting our own zine type thing. im excited.

hello there

hi.

so apparently it's the first week of fall.
can't you tell by the forest fires and the fact that my apple widget says it's 104* outside today? nevertheless, i've been craving the taste of fall roasted veggies despite global warming.
today i learned that butternut squash will never live up to my high expectations; sweet potatoes and kabocha squash will always win. so i have some of those roasting, and i suppose the butternut will make a decent soup so it's in the blender right now.
i wanted to try and make biscuits today because i picked up some buttermilk from the market yesterday. i don't think i've ever bought or used buttermilk before, so it should be fun experimenting today. i wanted to make pancakes this morning but instead i had a faux-diy-egg mcmuffin. maybe tomorrow then...

THE DREAM TEAM: 2009

Taste of Arcadia was a great success. Thanks everyone for supporting. Look forward to getting some sucrose on your tastebuds soon, real soon.

monday monday

today feels like a beatles white album monday because buffalo bill was stuck in my head, so that is the soundtrack for this morning.
i feel tired from this weekend. ice cream selling went alright, saw some of the regulars which is always nice. and hanami (friend shoutout!) came by with her adorable mom.
yesterday i stopped into a thrift store and picked up a new dog bowl for peanut and a cookie jar that is shaped like a cake. i don't know. i also saw michael cera and ate at a hipster overpriced vietnamese restaurant. $9 bowls of pho made for white people. i just don't know.

i'm going to go make some banana bread with this recipe (friend shoutout again!)
also, big event for sucrose today. we'll be at TASTE OF ARCADIA at the arboretum giving out samples along with tons of other restaurants/businesses in arcadia. expecting 1000+ people. we shall see how that goes!

the magic backyard

featuring...furry dinosaur eggs???

i have no idea what these are.

my backyard

is magic.
look what i found!

summer break

since my schedule has been sorta backwards and i've been in summer school until just two days ago (it's already mid september???) my brain has been in summer mode as of lately, even though halloween is just around the corner.

it's only my second day of 'summer vacation', and i've already grown quite restless. i kept myself busy the other day when i botched my supposed-to-be marinara sauce and turned it into a tasty tomato basil soup instead.
sometimes mistakes are good.
also, i made some ridiculous snickerdoodles today. cookie overload. i cleaned the fishtank; it was horrendous. now i'm about to take my laptop in because according to the mac store the display needs to be replaced. frustratinnnnnngggggggggggggggg. frustrating. right now i'm attempting to back up all the junk on my computer, which i probably should've thought about doing at some point anyway, so something good came of this stupid wonky display at least.
okay. off to a place called DINO COMPUTERS. should i trust a place called DINO COMPUTERS is the question...

cheers!

UPDATE:
it took me forever to back up all my stuff, and i was about to just give up all my files to the computer gods and leave for the dino store, and NOW my display is back to normal!!!
