kookaburra.

cutie pie meat eaters. 

pizza party.

delicious.  ferris plock. 

i'm hoarding my bookmarks again.  hoping that using my delicious account will be a good solution to this problem. who am i kidding?   

i have a twitter account now.  bad news, i know.  too connected these days, but it's kind of a fun obsession. 

jeeeez. 

omfg. co.

you know what i love?  boys that can do neat things. especially boys who do neat things in portland, cuz portland is the shit!

the gentlemen of the official manufacturing company make neat things.  their most recent things are lovely t-shirts.  quite lovely indeed. 

they also made the most fantastical sign for olympic provisions. so good!  we need to go there for charcuterie soon, okay? okay great.

OMFG CO.  be about it.

residual energies.

hi friends!  yay for friday.  let's hang out tonite and make dinner okay? great. see you then. 

i'm feeling under the weather today, i think cuz i had the bright idea to drink delicious stumptown coffee at nine at nite.  what was i thinking?!  jeez.  my eyeballs are jiggling right meow and i cannot deal with it.  i am looking forward to post-work. 

i recently got in touch with my old time friend chris who runs the site 20goto10 horay. 20goto10 used to be a physical gallery in san francisco, but is no more.  while i was stalking his blog i found out the new gallery is called gallery heist.  hot shit.   one artist whose show just ended is ryan de la hoz.  yay!  he's pretty neato.  i'm way into the skeleton action and mounds of geodes.  weeee.  

this is from the residual energies series.

also, chris has been working on some fresh headphone speakers (photos on the blog).  they are super high tech and are real nice looking.  he's really smart.  probably smarter than you and me combined. you can't fuck with dat.

dang. them links was broke. my bad.  fixed!

love love love.

i'm in a love mood today.  also, i'm making my valentines for you this week.  yay!  aren't you excited?  there will be scratch n' sniff things and chocolate hearts all around. 





what up ragen fykes!  where you at, girl!? 



and a blu & exile mood, apparently.



i'm bored. make today go away and please take my mid term for me. kthx.

wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!

oh my goodness, people? what's new?  what did you eat for lunch today? i just ate a delicious tiny avocado sando.  it was pretty good. 

what a long weekend.  i think it would have been better if someone didn't steal my goddamn duvet cover from the laundry room.  who does that? i live in the same damn building. people irritate me.  this was made even more obvious by the fact that someone stole from me where i live.  shitheads. 

then this morning i was up for no reason at all at 3:30.  at first i thought it was the return of t-rex, but then i realized it was just a nightmare that he did return.  where is that guy anyway?  who cares. as long as i can live without him for a couple days, i'm a-okay.  oh.  back to my original gripe.  when you have to get up very early ... in fact, when it is too early to be alive one must compromise with the elements.  a while back good ol' anna sent me a link to someone's fun website with all sorts of fun stuff on it that i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.  one of which was a damn bacon alarm clock!  it sent my heart aflutter.  it really did. 

so basically you wake up when you don't want to, but wait!  there's a surprise!  delicious bacon waiting for you! how sweet. wake n' bacon!!

this is me at the crack of dawn:

 ... what's this?  what's going on over thar?

oh! hello.  there it is.  the bacon surprise.  how sweet.

here's why the clock was made!  it's quite touching, actually:

"No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish."

true story!  i've never seen any jewish people eat bacon.  well, actually i did but they shall remain nameless ...

now, as a side note: when you write 'wakey wakey, eggs and bakey' is that how you spell it? i've always been curious about that.  it's really the type of thing you have to say out loud to get.

also, i want to note that when i first saw this curious feat of alarm clock/breakfast machine it made me happy.  it must have gotten very popular in the last month cuz it was featured on a bunch of websites.  holla!  those boys is s.m.a.r.t.

oooh.  you know what's also exciting?  new year's eve!  horay!  PPP is joining us from detroit at the fix!  i might fall over and die from excitement.  i've been looking forward to this nite for a very, very long time.  plus lifesavas are opening.  it's going to be so live!

oh my goodness.

today sucks.  i officially want to crawl into a hole and die. 

and it also sucks even more cuz the stuff i wanted from the rodarte line is sold out online! i refuse to do target during this time of year.  refuuuuuuuuse to go there.  i know i said i would, but now i refuse.  all those christmas shoppers make me want to gouge my eyes out.  to make a long story short, they've killed my desire for any rodarte clothing.  after all, it's just clothing, right?  i'm rolling my eyes right meow.  dammit!

i have two more holiday functions to do this week and i don't think i'm going to make it.  i never want to see a glass of mulled wine after saturday.  no mas. 

delicious vinyl came out with some sweet gear for girls.  record companies never cater to my need for representing.  i'm not joking.  it's usually a no likey situation. 

here's a closeup of the other style available.  i wants it! it's at karmaloop

I haven't really been digging stuff as much at karmaloop because i hate looking at their models!  some of them are way too corny and ruin the whole idea of shopping online altogether.  i'm sure you understand. 

check out these cute little mitten friends from deLux!  aw man.  they are so adorable.   

   

at this point in my life i am more likely to not wear the coon gloves on account of the fact that i will probably lose one and will be very, very sad.  so ima just stick with the delicious vinyl sweater. and i'm totally ordering the glorious, fabulous, wonderful  hot dog coin purse.  i can't wait.

it was the best of times. it was the blurst of times.

tanuki time tonite!   again.  i can't wait.  last time i went i had both a thrilling time and a sad realization.  numero uno was  bacon kimchi chigae!   hello.  it was quite astounding and i had it with this salted plum sake and it made me go into kimchi/sake coma for a little while.  oh yes! numero dos was that our favorite sake pourer is leaving to work for her friends pizza company.  lamezo.  her replacement better be awesome. or hot.  i don't care.  hopefully both. 

in other news, why is this week practically killing me? god. the seconds are lasting hours. actually, years.

a while back i posted a thing about this guys mark weaver who i am totally in loooooove with.  he does this thing where he makes something awesome every day.  well, i check in on his site and he's still doing the awesome thing.  horay! here are some juicy tidbits from his behance.  jkjk!  i never posted something about mark weaver.  i meant to.  previously i posted about brock davis.  my bad. whatevs.

september is pretty amazing as well cuz he puts it to music. holla!

I found other neat things on the internets yesterday, but now i'm too lazy to post.  plus, i have tanuki on the brain and that pretty much is debilitating, ya heard?

party season.

i honestly hate the holidays. everyone flipping their lids about buying presents and crap.  who cares? not me, that's who.  i am buying someone a present and that's me.  plus, the only fun thing about the holiday season is party season, i know you feel me on this. 

i am seriously full of excitement over rodarte's new line for target.  i have slept on the countless amounts of times they've brought in fabulous designers, like alexander mcqueen, and i refuse to do that this time around.  rodarte are amazing girls and i love them a lot.  the stuff they're cranking out is so nice and sweet that i want it all.  so, for this holiday season i plan to buy something nice for me. horay! 

their whole look book can be seen on ny mag. and it's going to be in stores december 20.  be still my heart.

 i want this outfit.  mustard yellow.  i likey.

ooh. actually, i want this one.  yes.

however, if you feel you absolutely must buy me a present i will not protest.  let me remind you that i still do not have my favorite wallet on toddland.  hamburger deliciousness!  this is a must have accessory for me for 2010.  i will not be able to live without one.  meat accessories need to happen.  they even have a happy hot dog coin purse!  why aren't they mine yet?  why!?

oh shit.  i'm an asshole.  it's muthafucking sold out.  again!  well, that'll give you time to contemplate whether you want to buy me the hot dog or the hamburger.  they're both equally as cute.  well,  i am quite partial to hamburgers.  i'm drawn to those little sesame seeds, ya know?

 

beards today.

i honestly wish today that i had a beard. or more hair so i could wrap it around my face.  this morning on the way to work i almost fell over and died.  I'm not even playing.  plus, yesterday i went to eat food with erin and the wind was so biting and strong that i couldn't even make it up the damn hill on my bike.  i had to get off like a totally baby and walk up the hill to williams.  so embarassing.  anyway, it was coldy cold cold and my face hurt from the wind and this was because i do not have a beard! on the upside of not having a beard it's having beard related thing that i can buy on the internets. 

i think karen and i are going to buy some lovely ski masks with mustaches on them. OR buy actual beards from this girl erin dollar on her etsy site.  she's really quite amazing, if you ask me.  i like the shag rug beard especially.  she has a blog that is really neat.  it's all beard related!  like how i'm obsessed with bacon and cats, she's obsessed with facial hair.  there's a large market for beards these days, apparently.  wait, i just realized she's from portland.  typical. i'm just saying, dang. I think once you move to the northwest you have no choice but to be all about beards. and bacon.

but i still want the ski mask. 

good times.

i've done this before and i'm doing it again. 

in fact, i will probably continue to do it as long as I shall live!!!  it's yet another ... spaghetti cat throwback!  a very special shout out to chisa and my husband joel mchale, the only two people in the world that read my blog.

i wish joel mchale would read my blog, actually.  god i am so in love with him.  i wonder if he's into eating blt's?  probably.  he seems  like that kind of guy, if you know what i mean. 

i'm starting to compile a very comprehensive of list of food people tend to over-indulge in.  for example:

a) eating a whole jar of peanut butter (let's be honest, people! this is totally possible).
b) cooking a frozen pizza then eating the whole damn thing.  oops.  we've all done it.
c) pringles.  duh.
d) ice cream. 
e) frozen items from trader joe's. 

you see,  people do things they are ashamed to admit, but I know you better than you think.  I know you're sitting there right meow with a bag of doritos in your little paws and working your way down to the bottom of the bag.  you know what?  it's totally okay! 

favorites versus favorites.

this is my new favorite video. i like the song. i like the movement. i like the colors.  i like.  thanks anna!

grizzly bear with ready, able:



other favorite!  on sunday when we were doing sunday stuff i stumbled across this flyer.  im pretty sure i got an email about this chick before her opening, but i prolly deleted it cuz i'm hateful in that sort of way.  jkjk.  no, really.  i am. 

anyway. anna fidler made some paintings inspired by the blazers.  it's kind of a wtf situation, but in a good way.  i mean, i don't recall seeing other nba teams with fine artists doing their stuff.  ms. fidler loves basketball and there is nothing wrong with that.  it's pretty epic, even if you have to remove it from the blazers context. 

she has other majesticness like fjords, bogs rainbow and mountains.  how could you not love her?? 

my one complaint for real is that she does not capture pryzbilla's babeliness. bammer.  she has a show at disjecta on interstate that ends on december 20th.  two paws up.

oh ya, since she spends time in l.a. where are my muthafukkin lakers paintings?  i know how it is to have to live a double life loving the lakers and the blazers.  it's rough out there.  especially lakers vs. blazers ... don't get me started. 

win.

well, today i was going to look for good things that were meat related and i really didn't have to look very far.  eat me daily had a post on a show the mew gallery in Philly (i originally put that it was in boston,  damn i'm dumb! ha.) is having.  all bacon related!  excellent choice.  excellent, excellent choice.  who doesn't love bacon?  i know, everyone loves it.  this is great.

they had a link on their site to mike geno's meat art blog.  holla!  we probably need to be friends so we can talk about meat's role in the art world.  fucking  perfect. 

MEAT ARTISTS  horay!

they had a photo of this on their website:

bacon magnets!  you can get them at sappy moose tree  want want want!

 mike geno is the shit.

phantasmagoria&wizardry

have you seen the man with a movie camera? it's such an excellent movie.  simple and even moving despite the lack of actual story line.  it's just life and machines. so good! 



this weekend i might watch un chien andalou to get some inspiration for this thing i'm working on this weekend.  horay for library times. i'm really interested in phantasmagoria right now.  we'll see if i can tie that in.  yay!

in more important news ... two things!  i'm going to be dolly parton for halloween this year!  i even ordered a wig.  so exciting!  i'm going to search for a bustier to make my boobs look bigger, so it's kind of plausible.  hahaha.  what a riot. 

the other thing is this breakfast amazingness that i found!  my love of bacon and toast ... together ... forever.  or at least until this thing breaks. these jerks in england of all places created this thing that can grill bacon in the bottom part of the toaster and toast your buns in the top portion.  how come we don't have this shit in america?  I mean, this is america?  we deserve delicious breakfast making devices for our convenience. dammit.  someone needs to buy this for me.  the company, tefal, that made this stunning device also has one that makes toast and eggs.  holla!  i'm going to get a job working for these dudes. 

oooooh ... bacons ...

chapped lips.

my whole face is chapped. so are my paws. i am not happy about this. i rode around quite a bit this weekend in the stupid cold wind. the worst thing about it is this: i have approximately six gloves. none of which match each other. have i already talked about this? cuz it's fucking stupid. today, i shall buy gloves and i will fasten them to my coats this winter.

big news this weekend: on friday we got hammered by like 9:30. it was weird. went to the pnca 100 year show, which was like ... well, I don't know. it was as expected. then, we went to rotture and lost half the crew. i know that i woke up on saturday with the worst hangover in hangover town. the upside about being totally hunover on a saturday are bloody mary's with bacon (!!!) and thrift store shopping. i got the best thing in all the land, and the dudes can agree ... a latch hook tiny rug with a tiny cat on it! so cute i want to die! literally. it's really amazing when fatty sits on the rug. for real.

last nite dudes came over for dinner at the crib. i made a delicious butternut squash and kale soup and a baked pilaf. we drank many wines and had funtimes. we ended the nite trying to hang tough on the roof, but we were weenies and it was cold. hey, remember that time when we didn't roof hang and joseph put my paul frank lobster in his pants? the butter of the sea. thanks dudes!

i think next time we should eat steaks.

oh shit. speaking of steaks. sick. you'll never believe it. i was at the dollar store in the frozen section perusing their popsicles and i saw this weird little disk of something brown. and the label indicated that little brown disk was a three ounce flat iron steak. SIIIIIIIICCCCKKKKK. flank steak from the dollar store? seriously? i almost bought it out of curiosity but out of respect for myself and all humanity i was able to resist. if anyone every once to cook up a fat steak from the dollar store though, please holler.

addendum!

funky funky tuesday.

dudes. this is serious business. my manifested dreams of meat art right here in good old portlandia! it makes me so happy I want to eat bacon. did anyone go to the baconfest this weekend, btw? nevermind.

at tiga tonite there's going to be a meat art exhibit by the thermals hutch harris. I want to marry him, I think. I don't even know about the thermals, but they must be pretty legit. i'm super bummed that I can't go. hopefully erin will take record of all the happenings and buy me a collage.




in other funky, non-meat news ... moovmnt has a nice promo mix to download from their website, called damn ... funk!?!. oh yeeeeeeah.

hamburger.

do you see what I see? I bet you do. it's hamburger shaped mousepad with a built in handwarmer!!! oh man. I was just thinking about how my paw was oh so cold working yesterday. and now ... a hamburger mit! holla!

gizmodo ... how I love thee ...

blt kama sutra.

this week's meat entry! we are all very excited for this. especially those of us who enjoy blt's more than pretty much anything.

there was once a point in my life where a blt would be in my paws several times a week. ah, the good old days ... thanks to the internet there are many varieties of food pr0n which I indulge in daily.

horay for kitchenscraps blog. they rule the internets with this post.

look at the naughty little bacon!!! tsk tsk.

yay friday.

today is friday. I would like to give myself a pat on the back. this morning I was very productive despite staying up late and I was early to work. I am so the best, but you already know that.

in other news, the internets are so slow on fridays. for why? oh well, it is better off that way I suppose.

this morning I found a picture on someone's facebook of something so amazing i had no words. I had to find out who the artist is, cuz clearly they are a genius. animals kissing people = fantastic! I love this.



the only thing I could find after trudging through an extensive google search was this hilarious article from some super intelligent christian zealot. no offense, but seriously? are you kidding me with this shit? it's funny if you don't think about how stupid this guy is. ROR!

today im feeling an art plus animal day. I found some good things that I've been saving for a day just like today! i'm excited. so are you. we are all excited.

raquel aparicio. she is so wonderful. check out her website. I'm particularly fond of her siblings series. weee!!




ooooh ... barbara weissberger! she's dreamy. she makes pretty collages of meat and things. right up my alley. plus I haven't done a meat post in a while, which does give me the sads.




tra lala. i'm bored and I srsly can't wait to get outta here. i'm picking up a ton of photos today! huzzah! I'm sure there will be some gore in there to submit to sweatpantsmoney. yay!
