Everything out there is black and white

Home bittersweet home

I went back to Alaska a week and a half ago to visit a friend. Every time I go home it gets harder and harder to be there. Luckily- it's still just as beautiful. And my brother and I are still just as ridiculous.

Stuck in my head:

"I'm still the same person. I've just found different ways to lie to you."

I crave strange things in the middle of the night.

Coconut milkshakes and the way your jeans feel after being pushed into a snowbank.

They have nothing to do with one another.

When it's too hot to sleep: I stay up lying in bed thinking about the things I'd rather be doing.

Last week: in my dream he told me: I don't think that you're the kind of person who anyone can love anymore.

I woke up knowing that he was right.

Most of the time: I worry so much about being forgotten, that I take the time to remember for the both of us.

Some of the time: I think that maybe it doesn't count

Sometimes I wake up on the wrong side of the bed and when I open my eyes I wonder where you are.

And then I remember that you've never even slept in this bed. It still feels the same as you being gone.

Everything still feels like you.

The things that make staying up ridiculously late on work nights worth the sleep deprivation and hangover. Aw.

Snails + My Paper Crane = Holy shit!

I have a really weird obsession with snails. I can't help it. Our Christmas tree this year was decorated with snails and giraffes. We took it down last week. It was just that cute. Really.

My Paper Crane is known for having strange and adorable plush critters. You know... doughnuts and tampons and burnt toast.

So what happens when you mix snails and My Paper Crane? I explode. That's what.

Buy it for me, please?

Morrissey!

I love sweet fucking hook-ups. I just snagged a handful of free Morrissey tickets for May 6th at The Paramount here in Seattle. Hahhhh hah. I might be in China then... but I also might accidentally break my leg or become pregnant with mutant triplets. Anything is possible.

Mmm. So good.

Creepy ass astrology

Today at work I had a really fun mini nervous breakdown. I'm supposed to have our entire fall and winter line ready in just over a week. We don't have a single spec. package ready and my boss is just now asking me to make story boards. On top of that I'm supposed to be going to China in less than a month, and I still need to get my passport and visa. Oh, I love me and my silly procrastinating ass.

And my horoscope today? Wtf, creepy.

Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

Everyone seems to be making demands on you at work while placing pressure on other parts of your life. Don't try to cover up insecurities about not being able to meet your commitments, as your key planet Saturn is softened by alluring Venus. Still, you probably won't get everything completed, and this can exhaust you. Find a sustaining pace and just do what you can. Be as direct as possible when letting others know exactly what you can and can't do; others will appreciate your honesty.

Joose!

Joose is so much trouble. Hah. I don't know what it is about it... but it pretty much turns me into a giggling pile of mush. Or a slug.

Shipow.

A good friend of mine who does a lot of street art (stickering and stenciling), made me a cd a few months back with a stencil of my face on it. He just put up a picture, so I decided to steal it, because it makes me feel cool. Aw.

Really though, really?

Oh Baby Phat, you kill me. Okay, so generally I'd never be caught dead wearing anything by Baby Phat, however, I have to admit that I was a tad bit dissapointed when I went to their website and couldn't buy a grill. Sigh. I guess I'll just have to order one from Grillz R Us.

Stella Im Hultberg's clickable sketchbook.

I've loved her work since the first time I saw her portfolio from 2006, but her sketchbook is almost somehow even better (if such a thing could be possible). It's like this glorious mess of poetry, off-beat pop art, and fashion sketches, all mixed in with her beautiful drawing style. Sigh.
