fambly times

i was looking at pictures on my hard-drive and found these. some old trout lake pics that are pretty great. a good one of brad and liza [pre-liam].
is this not classic jojo[sitting on my lap]?! how great is that? and abby[far right with little H on her lap] is just sorta funny with her little chubby face.

and i like playing with my cousins. H and i had a good time playing airplane.
note: these pictures are about 4 years old. crazy town.

every girl likes a wink

so, at work today...
this guy came in and bought a bunch of paper. seemed to be stocking up. he said he was traveling and needed a box. so i offered the boxes we get our shipments in. they are massive. anyway, i took him and his friend back to take a look at them. they seemed pretty excited about the box and they decided to take it. i, trying to be nice, turned and gave them the box, the one buying the paper then turned and WINKED at me! SWOON! getting a wink is maybe the highlight of anyone's day. thank you ridiculously handsome artist man for winking at me today. i needed it.
ps- i was maybe a little starry eyed afterwards. just ask brittney...

my fave

i knew i liked this movie before. but i recently re-watched "run lola run" for my international cinema class. it is truly an amazing film. i love it. and this picture of franke potente just happens to be on my ic button. officially an ic addict everyone. don't love it til you try it.

ps- german is surprisingly easy to understand.

i am awesome.

we did bronze casting in my sculpture fundamentals class. i volunteered on the first day to help "pour". whatever that meant. on thursday he told us if i screw up, people die. yeah. so, i got all dressed up yesterday in my welding jacket, thermal jacket, thermal chaps, brian draper's old leather boots[one size too big] and tied my hair back with angela's extra hair-tie[shout out to you angela]. i then put on my face shield, and big leather mittens. with brian's help, lifted the liquid hot bronze out of the kiln, and we poured it into the sprews* everyone made for their pieces. needless to say, i have the COOLEST major on the planet! i love my classes.


*for those of you unfamiliar with casting, you create your piece out of wax, then you attach it to a "sprew" in which there is a cup and ventilation system so you can actually pour the bronze in. you then cover all the wax up with "slurry" and roll it in sand. repeat multiple times. then you melt out the wax and paper cup in another kiln, and you're ready to pour. oh jargon.

as it were

i'm in the market for a new template. i like colors. but i don't want any stupid graphics. i want to make my own and put em on there myself. help!
