grammar November 17, 2007

i am a good proof-reader. i like to pay attention to grammar rules. which is why i am in the facebook group “i judge you when you use poor grammar.”

tonight was sort of slow, so i was browsing the photos and i had to share two unbelievable ones.

1. check before you tattoo yourself. ask a friend. ask your tattoo artist. please.

added challenge: name that buffalo-originated musical artist!

2. the back story on this photo: this was ordered for a going-away party at an office. the office worker called the cake place (wal-mart) and told them they wanted the following message: “Best Wishes Suzanne, and underneath that, we will miss you“.

i am so disgusted November 16, 2007

i don’t usually post “serious” stuff, but this was so awful, i feel that it needs to be spread:

cat = garbage no longer November 15, 2007

lately the cat has been smelling like garbage. possibly because she tipped over the garbage and ate whatever she found.

so today i washed the cat. stella was surprisingly agreeable and let me blow dry her after. such a weird cat. i would have taken pictures if my hands weren’t full of wet cat.

day seven. happy wednesday. November 7, 2007

so it hasn’t even been a whole week and i’m already b*tching. this upcoming week is going to be pretty busy due to various commitments, dance things, etc, but i will do my best to keep my post-a-day commitment. forgive me if they are short.

if you’re in the western ny area and want to see me dance, i am performing this weekend and next with buffalo contemporary dance. one of our professors is in the company, so she is showcasing her choreography with the other dancers. pretty exciting. if you like dance and stuff.

and since all that was overly serious, here is something for you to think about: the phrase “Polterwang”. brought to you by the girls over at gofugyourself.

please tell me this exists November 6, 2007

that’s what i want for xmas…. part 2 (calendar edition) November 5, 2007

i have a feeling this “segment” of my blog will be never ending until dec. 25 (then called “that’s what i want for my bday?”). perhaps i should be less subtle. NATE. I WANT THESE THINGS. HINT HINT. HINT.

1. plantable, bio-degradable, calendar from botanical paperworks.
how cool is that?? after each month is over, you get to plant the little calendar and wildflowers grow! or in my case, nothing grows because of my black thumb. but the concept is really cool.

unfortunately, i already had a desk calendar (non-biodegradable and therefore much less cool) picked out for 2008… instant back-up christmas gift! here is the letterpress calendar by ilee i am in love with:biodegradable v. handmade letterpress with sparkley spider web for October…. such a tough call.
