the 3 S's

yeah, not feeling well at all today. it happens...and it's happening now. my usual attack plan is with the three S's...that's sleep, sweets, and shopping. very female i know, but it could be much worse. sleep is the easiest one. no effort involved there. as far as sweets goes so far i've downed numerous chocolates and have finished off two half full pints of ice cream. my favorite being the chocolate chip cookie dough pictured above. and last but not least is shopping. today's internet purchases are pictured above. i've been slowly making my way to obtaining all of the kids in the hall series and i've been dying to buy a new cd lately. fever ray is one of the few new bands that i like. though i don't really know if it's considered a band. i believe it's a solo project.

anyhow, i hope my highly scientific plan soon takes affect. :) i've got lots of work to get back to!

the line up (5.04.09)

here's a few new things that will be listed this week in the etsy shop. apparently shorts are big right now. personally i can't wear them, i've got a knee phobia. i think knees are by far the ugliest body part and should be covered at all times. :) anyhow, if you don't have a knee phobia these shorts are really cute. a couple of pretty vintage blouses too, the last one could be belted and worn as a short dress (again if you're ok with knees).

utopia

We had a great turn out to Jesus De La Rosa's solo show last night entitled Utopia. People really seemed to enjoy the colorful, multimedia work. Pictured above are the artists proud parents and grandson (photo #2), the artist (wearing a black shirt & khaki pants in photo #3), and a run in with the beard helmet wearer's (photo #5). They will be making a later appearance in this blog...
