Etsy, yet again.

I bought this on etsy today. I couldn't not have it any longer. I'm so excited for it to get here, the artist lives in France so it'll be a little longer wait than I want but I suppose I'll live. 

Axe Cop

Back in high school there was a local band who rocked called Lunar Active. They were nice guys and had basically the only live shows around, they comprised the entire local music scene. One of them, Eef (Ethan) is a very talented artist. He wrote an Eisner Award nominated graphic novel called Chumble Spuzz. 

Lately Eef has been, in his free time, drawing the ideas of his little brother Malachai, who is 5 years old. Malachai's story turned into Axe Cop which Eef has been posting periodically on his facebook page but today it went viral. It was featured on Reddit yesterday and Entertainment Weekly today. His website crashed from so many people visiting it but all the issues have been worked out. 

Everyone should check out Axe Cop as it is really fun and completely hilarious and awesome. I mean, with characters like Uni-Baby (a baby with a magical unicorn horn) and Bobber and Gobber Smartist (they eat only candy canes) how could you go wrong?! 

Alright, it's that time of year...

      

It's hair time people, decisions need to be made. In January I decide if I'm going to have curly or straight hair the rest of the year. I've had curly for two years now. I love it curly, hair flowers stay in it really well and I just like the look of curls. That being said, I think really long straight hair looks very healthy (unless you dye it crackhead blonde). So, thoughts? 

*I know this is shallow and vain, I don't care. I want your opinions now. 

Geology

I fucking hate Geology. So, I completed all of SOU's science requirements, all of them. I thought I was forever done with science but here I am, taking freakin' Geology because OSU has an additional requirement. It was either Geology or some soil class, pretty much the same thing, imo. Anyway, Geology class wouldn't be so bad if the labs didn't take 4 hours each. Seriously lady, this is a basic 100 level class, the kids enrolled at the actual school don't even show up to your class so what is up with all of the homework?! Oh, and I have to get a proctor so I can't even use the books on the tests which means I have to actually memorize this crap that I'm never going to use. My uncle is a Geologist, it blows my mind but to each his own. :)

my sister

This is my dear, sweet, beautiful sister. It's not her birthday or anything but for some reason I'm thinking about her right now. She is six or so years older than I am and we didn't really grow up together. I remember thinking when I was younger that we didn't have anything in common and it never really hit me that I had a sister. I mean, I knew I had a sister but not in the way that I had a little brother. Then in my teens when she would come home for holidays it was a little eerie that we would have some of the same clothes but we still didn't have anything to bond over. Once she even accused me of wearing her belt when in fact I was wearing my own, we just had the same one but had no idea since we lived so far away from each other. It's funny how you can have so much in common with someone you barely know, and yet still be so different even though you share a biological background. Anyway, the last few years have really brought us to a place where we can get to know each other, we can talk, listen, learn and appreciate each other for who we are, as sisters and as people. I have a wonderful, brilliant, vibrant sister who has an amazing heart and yet isn't too goody-goody, she still has the family bitchiness to her, which is a quality I deem necessary and greatly appreciate. I'm just really appreciative of time, that it gave us a chance to both be in a place in life where we were able to finally forge a meaningful bond. Love you Brooke! 

I heart robots.

Many moons ago I had posted about my new studio apartment and its ugly brown cabinets. I no longer live in the apartment, and haven't for about 8 months now but I still think I should share with you what I did to the cabinets, just because I loved them so much. These little robots are so cute I'm thinking I may have to get them for where I live now but the walls here are heavily textured so I'm not really sure how that'd work out. I bought them on etsy and they're vinyl decals. All you do is rub them on, very easy to apply but not as easy as they say to get off. They took a little of the varnish off the cabinets when they were peeled off so my friend Pat sanded the cabinets and re-varnished them. Yay for friends! 

Oh how I love thee, dear hair accessory.

I'm a big hair accessory aficionado. I wear flower clips in my hair almost everyday or some type of headband. My favorite headband of all time had a gigantic champagne colored flower attached to it but Scott's dog ate it. I wanted to cry. Anyway, I find beautiful hair accessories on etsy and anthro all the time but hesitate to buy them, and when I go back they've been sold. So, I should learn how to make them myself, I think. I'm not even sure where to begin. I guess sewing would be a good start. I've been wanting to learn to sew for about a year but just can't seem to find the will to begin. 

Dear Lord Jesus it's 2010

I've severely neglected my blog for over a month. I know you were all starving to death for information on my life like those poor Ethiopian kids. Life has been busy, I have things to do. Here's what I've been up to:

*School. Online classes are interesting, in both a good and bad way. I sometimes miss sitting in lecture, I also miss intelligent conversation. The people on discussion boards are morons. Rapers, really? Last I checked the correct term is rapist. Also, if I have to explain to you what Socialism is then your skills are lacking, use wikipedia dipshit, you're already online, that'll give you a clear enough idea. Overall, I'm glad that I'm doing this, it's ridiculously easy and affords me lots of time for video games and reading. 

*Anne of Green Gables. Speaking of reading, I re-read the entire Anne series by L.M. Montgomery and I still love it. Anne is such a lively little thing, I highly recommend this for any young adults, or not so young adults. 

*Work. Let's just say I love my job and I rock at it. Getting up in the morning is still difficult and I'm thoroughly convinced that it always will be but I don't dread going to work. I've had jobs that I've hated in the past for various reasons and it's so nice to be happy at work and work with people you actually enjoy spending time with. 

*Holidays. Umm, Christmas would've been nice if I hadn't slept all day from pure exhaustion. Mom made her awesome oatmeal choc. chip cookies, I only got to eat two though, they seemed to disappear before I could get my hands on them. 

I went to a New Year's Eve party at the casino here in town with some guildies. Yes, I hang out with my nerdy internet game friends. It was a really fun disco party with a live band that was actually quite good. 

Okay, I have played catch up, now my brother can stop bitching that I haven't posted since November. Love you!

p.s. Jets are in the playoffs! woot!
