Jealousy

Look at this beautiful masterpiece. The Sorted food guys use it in their kitchen.

Here's why it appears to be better than the comparable kitchen aid:

  • There's a spinny knob on the side instead of the little lever on each side of the arm of the mixer. 
    On the kitchen aid, the little levers look exactly the same and even though I've used a kitchen aid about 1000 times, I always go for the wrong one when I need to use it.
  • The kenwood is so much sleeker and modern looking. Appeals to my design senses. The kitchen aid has a very old fashioned kitchen look going for it with the hardware, which is fine, but just not what I personally like.
  • The kenwood can come in a stripey design. As far as I know, with the kitchen aid, if you want a design, you must add it yourself.

The only problem with the kenwood is that those silly Europeans use a different plug than we do. 
I've found some similar mixers with the spinny knob from amazon, but so far they're all just not quite right. Will keep looking.

Bittersweet and strange

I'm doing a blog post to avoid bs-ing my way through a research paper. I think I might go to bed after this & just frantically do the paper in the morning.

So I have this reputation of being alright at craft projects. My cousins are really good at exploiting that, and it's okay, I let them. There's this gala thing that they decorate for every year and their theme is Beauty and the Beast. Here's some things I've made so far, in case you're curious & for my future reference:




I mean, don't judge my stuff based on my shitty photographs. I want a dslr sooooo very much.

feels

Ugh, the newest episode of My Mad Fat Diary is incredibly depressing. I shall remain hopeful. 2 episodes left and I'm confident they can turn it around.

Look at this miracle that happened today. Sorted food, the absolute gems, replied to me.
I wish I hadn't replied with the second tweet, but I can always delete it if I feel the need. They seem to respond to everybody and I love that. Those boys are all just precious little cupcakes.

I have a tumblr. It's like a fun, hip version of this blog. But it's mine, so like, not really.

march 5

All of the people from college that I consider actual friends (well, actual enough that we're facebook friends) all have names that end in the long 'e'. [Ex. Marcyyy, Katieee, Tobyyy, Emilyyy, etc.] It was a coincidence until I noticed it & now I can only have friends at jsu with these type names. Okay that's a lie, I'll take all the friends I can get.


So I'm totally obsessed with #mymadfatdiary again. Nico Mirallegro is a god. I wish that it was popular in the states so that I could talk to people about it. Now all I can do is flail about it on tumblr.


I was watching a previous episode of sorted food and I had this flashback of a British bear show that I remember watching as a kid. At first I thought paddington, but the videos I've found don't look like my mind pictures. I was looking at the list of PBS shows to see if it was on there & I realized that I watched a shit ton of PBS when I was younger. It was quality programming.

Pearls

1. Money can’t buy happiness but
somehow, it’s more comfortable to cry in a BMW than on a bicycle…
2. Forgive your enemy, but
remember the bastard’s name.
3. Help a man when he is trouble & he will remember you
when he is in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because
it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then,
neither does milk.

A story about dog shit

I will never voluntarily own a dog. Dogs are so terrible. Their poop is like human poop. When they shit in the floor, it's like a human shit in the floor. Horrible. I have never made this distinction before, but I'm making it now. Cats are so much better to have as pets.
Let me tell you this mega dumb thing that happened today. I am dogsitting for my cousins this week and they have these 2 dachshunds and they don't know how/don't like to poop outside. So they always shit when I bring them inside. They usually shit in the dining room or near the bathroom in the shadows, which always made me think that they know what they're doing. Now I know that they know. I was sitting down on the couch eating my supper and one of the dogs took a shit right directly behind me in a totally abnormal place than they normally shit. Then I couldn't finish my supper. It was a shame.

I love you like biscuits and gravy, hot ham and cheese sandwiches, and waffles and bacon

I haven't mentioned my grandfather's battles at all. Partly because I don't want to remember exact details; I'd rather have a hazy remembrance of the whole thing. But also because things changed incredibly fast over the past 4 months.
Now he has passed away and I'll never forget it anyway so I might as well write about it.

December 21, 2013
This was after a long stint in the hospital. Long enough that he had grown a beard. I think this was the last time that he felt okay. I know this was definitely the last time that he looked okay.

What's so messed up is that I forget that he's gone. Sometimes I'll be sitting in his chair and I'll hear a door slam or the phone will ring and my heart will race because it might be someone telling us that he's died, but then I have to remind myself that it's already happened.

I've found so far that mornings are the hardest because the empty moments in the shower are filled up with thoughts of him.

I mean, yeah he was an older man. I just figured I'd have 20 more years with him.

dandy

Here's a morbid thought. If I died right now, my last tweet would be

& I had a little laugh about it.


I'm turning into one of those weirdos that won't watch the end of something because I don't want it to end. I still need to watch the end of the past season of the Walking Dead, the third episode of Sherlock, the last season of Misfits, the last season of HIMYM, etc.
I'm going to watch them eventually, but man, what a trend.

My cousins and I are watching all 3 seasons of Veronica Mars and I am again realizing what a fantastic show it is. So much good.

prediction

Okay so Mindy and Danny started macking on an airplane in the last episode. Steamy. But I have this prediction about next season. I think the airplane will crash land and Mindy and Danny will both hit their heads and they will forget that they started to have a thing and they'll have to learn all over again.

artist lol

I snapchatted this to Smells without a caption and I immediately regretted it because without explanation it just looks like I'm a shitty drawer.

I am, but for this particular drawing I was kind of shitty on purpose because that was the assignment. We had to do blind contours, which is where you draw the outlines of a thing without looking at your paper while you're drawing. It's some kind of animal skull.

First post of the year

Happy new year to you.
So far this year,


  • I've read 1 book. (The Art of Falling by Jenny Kaczorowski ) 
  • 2 of my great aunts have acquired facebook and they are facebookin' fiends.
  • I have been listening to podcasts in my car instead of music, partly because I'm bored with alt nation's music selection at the moment and partly because I'm hoping that through osmosis, the podcasts will make me better at conversations.
  • My Mad Fat Diary trailer
  • I ordered 2 different school books from 2 different websites and they both got refunded within a few hours because they were out of stock, which I think is a conspiracy.
  •  
    I doodled this horrible rendition of a bottle and a chair while in art history. I am taking a drawing class this semester and I generally dread drawing, but I'm trying to keep an open mind about it and I'm trying not to avoid drawing, which is what I generally do when I don't like something. I think I mostly don't like to draw because I'm so piss poor at it and "they" say that if you put in 10,000 hours of something then you can call yourself a master. So I'll try that, I guess. 
  • I received a flu shot at the request of my dear sweet nurse of a mom. I am not at the 2 week point yet so who knows if I'm flu-y.
  • By accident, I discovered that 4 episodes of Friends come on every night on nick at nite at the same time every day & I am so incredibly happy that it does that I even sit through the commercials to watch it. I rediscovered my love of Friends this year.

christmas lights

This house had the best lights. This picture doesn't do it justice at all, but google did add the sparkles when it uploaded to google+ so that's kinda neat. My aunt, 2 cousins and I were driving around earlier when my aunt gasped and scared us all to death and asked if we could drive up to see these lights. This house was decked out. There was even a projection of santa in the window. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed seeing lit up houses like that. I don't care what my cousins say, the "classy" houses with only white lights are boring and lame. Griswold lights are the only way that's good and right.

one present down

Monogrammed stuff is super popular right now so I thought I'd get in on it. It seems like I'm always making rugs. I'm not though. Cute cute cute.
Only a week until christmas.

I am so so so close to finishing up my christmas shopping. Only 2 more things to get. Here's to homemade, cheap gifts!

I accidentally skipped a post yesterday. I was distracted because I was playing mystery date with Fal, Jenna & Smells!
We also made these little cakes. Aren't they cute?

lazy sunday

I haven't done shit today. I've just been watching this youtube series Bite Club and lazing around. I love watching British people cook because they use weird measurements and when they taste the food at the end they do it so properly with a knife and fork and little tiny bites. I'm thinking I have diabetes or something because all I want to do is eat special k red berries and macaroons and other sweets. That's a sign probably. Hopefully not. There's too much sickness going on in my family right now, I don't want to add to the pot.

Look at this card from etsy. Isn't it nice? I quite enjoy it.

Xmas tree

Smells, Luke & I decorated for G&P this year & it's not too shabby.

holiday spirit



I'll tell you something that always cheers me up. People speaking gibberish. I think I'm not alone in this. That's why those bad lip reading videos are so popular. I remember when Bruce Almighty came out, I didn't particularly think that movie was that great, but there's this one scene where Steve Carell is uncontrollably speaking nonsense and it just tickles me to no end. I mean I've seen it enough times to know what's going to happen and each time I don't think it'll get me and it still does. I also love when people are sleep talking. That ridiculous interaction you can have with someone. It's funny stuff.

let's get down to business

to defeat the huns! That song is stuck in my head.

The scariest thing happened today when I was in a drive thru. After I ordered and pulled around there was kind of a long line of cars so I pulled up catty cornered next to this tree. I noticed this moving thing out of the corner of my eye and there was this HUGE tan colored spider building it's web right up into my car. Thankfully I was quick to react and the spider hadn't crossed the window opening threshold so I was able to roll up the window and keep the thing away from me. Seriously this thing's head and body was the size of a nickel. After that I didn't want to roll down my window to pay and get my food because what if the dern thing was on the roof of my car. I mean, I did roll down my window and purchased my food, but later I found a long sticky spider web string stuck to my arm. Really gave me the creepy crawlies. Even just re-telling the story is making me want to shiver about.

celebrating intellectualism

This is relevant because recently one of my professors saw me open a can of diet dr. pepper and told me that it would kill me because aspartame will give me alzheimer's and cancer. I hadn't seen this video yet and I had no good comebacks so I just threw out my drink.

snooze

I'm going to blog everyday in December even if it's about nothing. Why not? I like December, I always have. Remember last year when I did this? Lately though I've been in a really bad funk where I've been really unhappy & I've gained a lot of weight & I haven't had any motivations. So I want to have a good & healthy goal that I know I can achieve & maybe that will help.
Earlier today I complained a lot about this sharp pain between my nose & my left eyebrow & my grandmother kept saying it's from lack of sleep because she woke me up "early" this morning. And I said yeah I'm going to go to sleep now & sleep for like 14 hours & Smells was like yeah right you'll stay up like you always do. AND YOU KNOW WHAT. Here I am, still awake. She put some bad juju on me. Just kidding, I'm just addicted to ruining my own life.

Happy December 1st

Nope

That alarm clock app worked for 2 days and then I got used to it and now I can pretty much do the puzzles while I'm sleeping. I can't seem to find a way to wake myself up pleasantly and keep myself awake.

I was typing a paper for graphic design earlier and under one of the words was a green squiggly line indicating grammar error, I guess. When I right clicked, it said to use a semi-colon and not a comma. My question is this: How the hell does Word know that I need a semi-colon? Does it know all of the subjects and verbs and knows when there are 2 full sentences side by side? I guess that's not the craziest thing a computer can do, but I don't know. I just am not smarter than the computer today.

So on Tuesday my alarm from my phone went off in class. Why it was set for 9:30a on a weekday, I'll never know. But as punishment for disrupting class, the art department has this policy that you have to bring cookies when your phone goes off. My prof was super excited that this happened because, I mean, cookies. Anyway, there's only 11 people in that class so I asked what flavor they wanted and this guy said how about those delicious cookies from Zaxby's, but this other guy was like nah, they have chips ahoy on sale at Winn Dixie, just get those. BY THE WAY, the guy that said that used to play in a band with Derek Birdsong! Crazy. Of all the people, my next door neighbor played in a band with a guy in my photo class. Back to the cookies, there were a couple people that said homemade and this girl who I kind of consider a friend said m&m. Being the Suzy Homemaker that I am, I made homemade m&m ones.

 Now this makes me super nervous because now I have to hear judgement on them. Also, what if my most mortifying fear comes true and a classmate finds a hair in a cookie. I hope that it's highly unlikely because I tied my hair back and I even took a lint roller to my shirt and I also tried not to lean over the mix while I was mixing. I take so many precautions against that because I have found one too many of my dear mom's hairs in my food growing up and almost nothing makes my stomach turn faster. Sorry, mom!
I just hope they're edible. My grandmother tried one, but she's not going to say that they're gross to my face. I tried one too, but I'll eat anything. At least they look pretty!

Inarticulate

Lately, I've had the worst kind of word forgetfulness. This post may not even be legible when I'm through. I'm in 3 studio classes at the moment and there are so many critiques. I mean the actual thing critique not the verb. When I first changed my major to art, the thought of having everyone judge my artwork was mortifying. It's still pretty terrible, but I've grown used to it. It's now about trying to sound impressive when you're explaining the crap you had to stay up all night to finish. Words are the worst.

Today I answered the phone at work and the person was like, "Heyyyy whatch you been doing?" and I responded with pure silence. I absolutely could not think of the answer to what they were trying to ask me. I also had no idea who it was. I thought it was a wrong number and I was like I am not capable of dealing with a wrong number right now. It wasn't a wrong number, it was this guy that works in our department and the weird thing is I totally thought he sounded like an older black lady.

In other news, I'm going to try this alarm clock app I just downloaded to wake me up tomorrow. It has puzzles. Maybe it'll work! I'm kind of excited, but I know that will change when I open my eyes tomorrow. The first thing that I recall thinking in the morning times is 'I so don't want to be awake right now.' I go to bed set on the fact that I'm going to wake up and get out of bed right when my alarm clock goes off and then I turn into a grumples in the morning that completely will not get out of bed. Night time version of me is definitely not the same as morning version of me.

mmmwell

So it's the 16th. I am no longer spewing mucus. Super nice visual. I think I'm feeling okay.
School is being a real bummer though. I am not feeling very motivated and it's causing some problems. I'm hoping this is just a phase and I'll develop some clarity soon. There are a lot of things that I wish I could change immediately. So many things. Been having quite a few of those dreams where I'm falling and not in a peaceful way.

I'm watching this video and it's talking about how laughing is a social thing and you're more likely to laugh when you're in a group of people. Maybe I just need to laugh more.

Gone by the 16th

I need to remember that I started showing symptoms of a cold on Sunday, October 6th. They should be gone by the 16th. OR ELSE.

Also, I must note that I've used 4 boxes of 56-ct tissues in the past 48 hours which I think is impressively gross.

Concert hangover

I've got it. Plus, in my haste this morning, I forgot to put on deodorant... so sorry persons I have to come in contact with today.


Walk The Moon concert last night was the best. The absolute best.
All day yesterday I was nervous about driving to Nashville. I've never driven there myself and it's such a long drive and Smells and I both had to be back at our respective homes by Thursday morning because we both had things that we could not skip. I mean, from an outside perspective, the whole thing was a terrible idea and it would blow up in our faces. Probably a responsible set of people would opt out of this concert. But we are just who we are and we had our minds set on going.

The drive there wasn't too bad. I'm a horrible driver so we had a few "OH GOD" moments around sharp curves and such. No big deal. Nashville is a really cool city. Lots of crunchy granola type stores & restaurants, which are my favorite kind of stores & restaurants. I'd love to go back and visit more of Nashville. So we drive up in there and find the venue. We got there about 2 hours before the doors opened and there weren't many people waiting outside the doors yet so we decided to go find a gas station for snacks & bathrooms. At the gas station, the ladies behind the cash register liked my hair & Smells gave a homeless guy 3 dollars & he told her he loved her.

When we got back to the venue there was a guy who set up a paid parking thing that totally was not there when we first arrived. By pure stroke of luck, I had $5 cash. It was a great parking spot anyway. Smells asked the parking lot guy if he knew about the separate line for early entry(Which we had!!!), & he said he thought it was only one line right now because there weren't many people in line yet. There were only like 15 or so people waiting in line at that point, maybe even less.

I'm horrible at remembering times, but sometime around 7p, all of the people who got wristbands moved to another line & we waited in a different until they let us in. There were only like 15 people with wristbands so that was awesome & there were only like 6 people in front of us. Eventually the security people let us in & Smells rushed ahead because I have a bum knee & I was slow. I did some thing to my knee that morning while walking up the stairs to class & now it pops & hurts when I walk. Anyway, Smells was rushing to the left side, which I though was weird because she wanted to stand in front of Kevin, who always plays on the right side of the stage. We settled in front of where Eli stands, which is totally fine by me because he's super fun to watch & he seems to make eye contact with everybody & he just looks so happy to be there.



Because we bought these badass early entry tickets we were able to be at the very, very front row on the guard rail almost a foot to the left of where Nicholas stands at his keyboard. If I reached my arms out, my fingertips could touch the stage, that's how close. I felt bad for the people behind me... I'm so tall & big that I took up a lot of space, but I got over that once the band took the stage. There's no time to be self-conscious when you're having a ball.

Magic man came on & they were great. Not many people in the crowd knew their songs though. The electric guitarist Sam was a total cutie. And the drummer. During their last song Eli and Nick came out and danced. Energy increased exponentially after that.

During shows Nicholas does this thing where he gets into the crowd somehow. In one of the songs he stepped onto the rail right in front of his keyboard & held some girls' hands and just stepped back. We were like a foot to the left of that so we didn't get any action then, BUT THEN on another part of the song or maybe a different song (my memory is bad!) Nicholas stepped on to the rail and grabbed some girls' hands then he stepped his other foot on to the rail and tightroped down toward Smells & I! When he stepped closer to us I stuck my hand up, obviously, but I really thought he would grab Smells' hand. He didn't though. He caught my hand! I HELD HANDS WITH NICHOLAS PETRICCA. As he was stepping and holding my hand, I was super focused on how sweaty his hand was & how he better not slip. As he passed me, I figured he would let go & take another girls' hand. I don't know if this was my imagination, but I think I tried to loosen & he tightened at the same time. Magical. I pretty much led him back to the stage. I have never been more thrilled to have orangutan arms. 
I think this is him to the right of us. I mean there's no way to tell who or where it is, but that's pretty much what happened in picture form.
I so wish there was video that I could find of that moment. Actually I wish I had a video of that whole concert. It was all so much good.



There's no mistaking those large white arms are mine. :)










Can you see that purple tinge on that person's hair?! That's me!








After the show, Smells wanted to get a shirt so we waded through the people to stand in line. I then decided that I didn't want to stand in line so I moved to the back by the wall.
Took this picture of Smells. Good one, right? Then she told me that Magic Man were selling their album for $5 and they were signing them as well. Excellent opportunity. So of course we did that. Smells wanted a picture so I took a picture.
Please note the bass guitarist's Taylor Swift shirt. Smells thought that was mega exciting. They were all very nice and very pretty.

We kind of people watched for a minute after that. A lot of them cleared out, but there were still a few people taking pictures in the photobooth that was set up. Then we see the guy from the Shiver Shiver video (@Blakeing_Bad) come out and he takes a picture in the photobooth and then he takes a picture with a group of girls and then I say something like Hey you were great in the shiver shiver video. He was super gracious and shook my hand and said he saw me from the stage and asked if I saw him wave, which I did. Smells asked him if he'd take a picture with us and I was just going to do a selfie, but Smells was like just get somebody to take it, so I asked the guy that was standing right there(@TomFloorwalker) who also happened to be the guy that checked all the guitars and drums before the show. He was super funny and took this picture...
Pretty handsome. Then he took this one...
And he was like, "You know I did all the choreography to Shiver Shiver" :) They were both super nice and really were just a cherry on top of an already delicious sundae of an evening

Some pictures that Smells took during the show:



Go see a Walk the Moon show. You will, without a doubt, have a great time.

tres cosas

This week has been a general bummer, not for a particular reason really, just has been my overall mood, but today 3 things in particular went really well.

Number 1.
I made a really funny original joke to Rosh on the phone today that I am super proud of. It had to do with this video and me saying
"I guess starting from the middle is just not as catchy."   !

NUMBER TWO.
I totally guessed the ending to Broadchurch. Nailed it.

# THR33.
I made a super funny snapchat video just now.


Also, this other funny thing happened today... (that I forgot to mention on the phone, Rosh!!) When I was in class, I was asking about the difference between the blue box of plaster & the red box and my prof was like here I'll read the ingredients on this one, will you read the ingredients on this one? And I responded, 100% seriously, "They're in Spanish and I just... can't." Then everyone haha-ed because the English was on the other side.

Changes

Yesterday I was telling my friend that youtube had changed on me and I totally hated it. She hates when things change so I knew she'd be sympathetic. I realized the change on Thursday when I was trying to find a particular RT Short (I totally didn't find it). I was so miffed because it seemed like youtube took away that little button that allows you to make the video go to the center of the screen. 
I mean, if you go to a youtube video, it's not on the bar anymore. And I was super sad about it because I love that little button. I watch a ton of videos and I was thinking, what am I going to do now that my button is gone?!

Fast forward to 5 minutes ago, I went to change the quality on this podcast and lo and behold, I found my button. So much relief.

cock bite

For some reason I've let my annoying little brother talk me into watching Rooster Teeth & now I'm completely immersed. It's been a slow climb. Now I'm trying to watch all the video podcasts and listen to all the audio ones. I dusted off the old ipod and downloaded the first 25 ones to listen on my commute to work. It is the greatest idea I've EVER had. I wish I had come to this realization sooner because I feel so much happier in the mornings and afternoons. All the chuckles.

Tonight I've watched 2 full video podcasts and I'm on the 3rd. Between the end of the 2nd and the 3rd, I went to the kitchen to get some snackage and I was just thinking, "man, if I was on the podcast, I would eat all kinda snacks and Gus would get so pissed because of the munching. I guess that's why they never eat anything on the podcast." And keep in mind that I'm not watching them in order and I'm picking them at random by the thumbnails. I picked the 3rd one because it had balloons. AND THEN I come back to my room and Burnie's making pancakes. Weird goddamn coincidence.

Video Podcast #205

This fucking thing.

This fucking thing. I can't believe I did this fucking thing. I picked a font. I picked another font so that I could put a certain T and G on their name because I know the person who I'm making this for likes a certain kind of T and G. I traced the letters 3 different times until I figured out the best way to get it on the rug. Then I cut out the letters with an exacto knife. Then I mixed this blue paint with a white paint to get the right color. Then I peeled off the stencil.




Then I realized I misspelled their name.


And I can't believe I did that because I know exactly how to spell it. Now I have a new rug that has a name on it that's not mine. Actually I think I'm going to see if there are any Gililands in the phonebook and I'm going to mail it to them.

Oh wonderful

I just looked at my grades from last semester because I'm one of those people who puts it off. But now I kind of regret it because my art history teacher gave me a C. I really didn't think I did that bad in that class & I'm kind of wondering why I made such a crappy score. It's always the classes you're confident in that you do the worst in. The same teacher that taught that class, teaches the other half of art history that I need and it became full before I realized I needed it and I was hoping she would let me into that class, but now I have low hopes about it. I can always take it next semester, but it just would work out better if I took it this semester.
I hate college so much.

Cam Rellim Chronicles

I just totally realized what Cam Rellim means & I've been saying "Camp Rellam Chronicles" for so long. It's Mac Miller. Backwards. Shit.

I'm still obsessed with Mac Miller, by the way.
