i feel naked without you

Image
without a pair of glasses on my face i feel lost. like something is missing. it's as if i'm not quite myself. I have been wearing glasses since the second grade, and after a nearly 5 year hiatus from contact lenses, I finally got the proper eye exam using conacts requires, and ordered a couple of boxes. I mostly did it so that I could wear sunglasses on sunny days. I have been buying various pairs of sunglasses over the years in the hope that one day i would go back to contacts and be able to use them. eyewear for me is as much about fashion as it is function, so having just a pair or two won't do. At last count, I own at least 10 pairs of sunglasses and 5 pairs of fashion frames, along with my very stylish perscription glasses. a few days after getting the contacts and ordering new glasses, I couldn't help but model my way through my sunglass and fasion frame collection. people at work kept asking me if each pair were my new glasses (which hadn't yet come back from...

random birthday present highlight

Image
released in 1984 and in conjunction with contemporary christian music magazine, this album by "Facts of Life" star Lisa Welchel reached #17 on the christian charts. Welchel has never recorded another album. Remember the episode of the "Facts of Life" when Natalie lost her virginity to the guy who also took Jennifer Jason Leigh's virginity in "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"??? .....I'm the only one, i guess. anywho... it was written for Welchel who refused to even appear in the episode because of her Christian beliefs. Good for Welchel for sticking to her guns..... and for blessing us with this cheesetastic gem

you played it mighty dirty, dirty 30

Image
the dirty 30 came and went. unexpected hiccups. my spirit not bent. the family and friends i have simply made it the best, coming to my rescue with every last minute request. Thank you to all for every loving gesture, well wish, and happy thought. I am so lucky with all the love that I've got ♥ - my day after facebook thank you message I will never over plan another event. The evite for my dirty 30 blonde ambition birthday party, which was to take place at my family's beach house in Capitola went out the first week of February, with an event date of Saturday March 26th, 2011. As the weeks passed, and the rsvp's came rolling in, I was starting to plan, buy things, and obsessively check the weather reports to make sure that everything would more or less go according to plan. Getting into the week of the party, the weather showed that it was going to be a little stormy and soggy through Saturday, but nothing to be concerned about. Then as I was sitting at work on Thursday nigh...

izint dat veird?

I believe in cosmic connections. astrology. deja vu. reincarnation. In the last week these things have happened -a ghost came to me in my dream. i believe it was my father. he was standing over my bed, then he laid down next to me and held my hand. it felt like his, massive and strong with half of his pointer finger missing. -today after a quick look at my closet, I decided to wear my brian wilson jersey. today is his birthday. I had no idea. things do happen the way they are supposed to. if you feel a strong connection to someone, it's probably for a reason. if you get the feeling you've been there before, I believe there is a good chance you have. I have no concrete proof of any of this. it's just a feeling.....

my official look at this fucking hipster photo

so if you loathe hipsters for doing things to be ironic, what does it make you if you dress up like one and take a picture to be ironic?

calskate milpitas, you break my heart

Image
a staple of my youth is most likely closing it's doors after nearly 35 years of roller bouncing bliss. CalSkate of Milpitas will be sold and developed into generic overpriced housing, and myself and all fellow local skate rink enthusiasts are beside ourselves. I frequented this place all through my younger years, even up into high school, so I am taking this one hard. Red tape will see this place open for at least the next two years, so I intend on making the most of the place while it's still open. wed retro night skate is the best deal, but at this point any night will do. VIVA LA QUAD SKATES!!

so these two badasses may have made a little badass

Image
seeing this story from a few very reliable gossip sources this morning made me grin from ear to ear. it's always nice to see two people who seem so in love be able to work through their past and come out stronger on the other side. my love of all things p!nk is a tad on the obsessive side, but i'm not gonna be ashamed. i am damn happy for her and her hubby. if this is true, your kid is going to be a total badass, just like you two :)

pretty as a picture

as someone who considers themselves to be a photo enthusiast, it has been an unbelivable 3+ years since i have owned a digital camera. my last one was "lost" in a traumatic wedding incident that is still far to painful to discuss....*sob* *sob* okay. now that i've collected myself enough to continue, I will say that after a recent experience the best coast show in san francisco I attended with my friend sera, where i snatched her cannon out of her hands and began feverishly shooting, i need one. bad. it has been far too long since I have taken pictures like a damn fool. let's change that soon, self. okay?

for good times, make it simple times

amy sedaris strikes again with her new book, "simple times : crafts for poor people" for people who know of amy, her genius goes without saying, but the fact that this awesome how-to has a yellow cover, just puts it way over the top for me. must. have. now.
