halloween

2008-11-26T16:39:00.000-08:00

gotta love halloween. i wish it could last all year long. i have so much fun decorating, seeing how stores change their windows, and going out in costume. not to mention my birthday is the day before. i didn't see too many good scary movies come out during halloween, though. i was surprised about that. halloween is still a time of year when we as americans aren't pushed to buy, buy, buy! christmas has become such a consumerist holiday. i want to say, "bah humbug" every time i hear a christmas song.

on a lighter note, jared padalecki is going to be in the new Friday the 13th movie! i've recently gotten hooked on supernatural, and im marathon-ing season 1 right now. (thanks amber)

Would you have a spoonful of... autolyzed yeast extract?

A coworker brought this in to work yesterday morning.

In 24 hours, it's empty. Nobody even bothered to throw it away.

YUCK.

very interesting article. who says that two, consenting adults can't have sex? but, when there is dementia & alzheimer's involved, is it the duty of the nursing home to step in and set boundaries?

i was just thinking..

i am moving next weekend! hooray!

maryland herb festival

2008-05-31T19:01:00.000-07:00

I went to the herb festival last weekend with my mom. It was so much fun. I even bought a jalapeño plant that should start flowering soon. I need to replant it in a larger pot & keep it away from my cat. I used to have one 2 summers ago, and he kept knocking it over & eating the leaves. Mmm- gotta love those jalapenerrrs!

Teh natures.

Finding a bird's nest in one of my hanging baskets is bad enough (note: I hate when birds nest in my baskets, mainly because I nearly have my eyes pecked out every time I step outside), but take a look at their packing material -- old cigarette butts?

No birds were harmed in the making of this picture. I think my cats have probably already killed them all.

This guy is amazing.

Who is this man, and what is he doing right now?

Found at the Frisco, CO Comfort Inn.

Rocky Mountain High

2008-05-20T21:40:00.000-07:00

Chris and I do a lot of driving through the Rockies -- we went yesterday and the day before. It recharges our energy and the scenery cannot be described through thought, words or pictures.

The mountain roads are steep and many back roads have hairpin turns. There's also an abundance of what seems to be 1930 - 1950 cars in all stages of decay in the mountains. The above picture Chris took of some rusted mining equipment discarded along the bend of a 2-lane road. It looked to be a shovel of some sort, albeit small, but hadn't moved in decades.

I wonder when we're going to go to the mountains again. I start a new job tomorrow -- one that demands 9 hours a day of my time (and that doesn't include commuting!). Having been out of work for over 2 months... hey, man, that's a lot to ask.

I think I'm in lurve. This will go in our dining room area, with a tall, refinished thrift-store find (hopefully) mirror leaning on top. Only $90 on craigslist!

Now how are we going to fit this in the car?

home decorating

2008-05-19T14:02:00.000-07:00

note: must decorate new apartment with this technique! i have so many photos and not enough frames. not to mention frames are quite $$$. bulldog clips & binder clips are so much cheaper!

see this exhibit!

maps to nowhere

2008-05-18T13:20:00.000-07:00

you can tell me how to get there
you can tell me how to get from there to here
you can navigate new towns,
states & even the towson mall.
you can tell me the exact latitude & longitude
of my current location.
but as soon as you are presented with it,
you run away screaming-
'cause you can't read
the map of me

an ode to coffee & cigarettes ->

2008-05-18T13:12:00.000-07:00

sometimes i fool myself into thinking that you are asleep next to me.
then i realize that it is my body pillow that is keeping me company.
it is then i remember that you are on the other side of town-
smoking your cigarettes & drinking your highly caffeinated coffee.
maybe that is why your hair is turning grey & why
i was more alone with you
than w/o you.

words of advice from carrie bradshaw

"what if prince charming had never showed up? would snow white have slept in that glass coffin forever? or would she have eventually woken up, spit out the apple, gotten a job, a health-care package & a baby from the local sperm bank? i couldn't help but wonder: inside every confident, driven single woman, is there a delicate, fragile princess just waiting to be saved?"

bloody bristles

i brushed my gums raw tonight
trying to scrub away the
plaque you left on my teeth.
your kisses were so sugary sweet
and i was quickly addicted.

i forced those bristles to
scratch my mouth
i looked down and spat out that
pink mixture.
1/2 mint
1/2 rust.

desperately trying to rid my body of
your taste
your scent
your saliva

weeks old with no reply,
yet still creeping through
my body.

snaking itself through
my veins

i watched that minty rust
swirl down the drain

next time i'll scrub harder.
