cinema wasteland

random craziness at cinema wasteland movie and memorabilia expo!



these two called me paparazzi after i took there picture on my way past!

two genuine nerds!



these last two pics are of people people who have either played, done stunts for, or some other BS for the Halloween series. In other words, creeps!

Bitchy McStitchy

i have a ton of pictures to update when i get off my ass and upload them.
right now i just have one.

so, i have decided to learn to cross stitch and embroider. why you might ask?
so i can make stuff like this....



it still needs to be ironed to get the creases out, but you get the idea!!

gimme my money!!

so jennifer once posted a request on her blog, a challenge if you will.
to get a good picture of her and that boy.
she offered money.
i took the following picture.
it's lovely, no?



i still haven't gotten my money! can you believe it?!?!


i've also included some equally lovely pictures i've taken of me and mike.

we look like ghosts in this one. and if you look closely, mike is making that face that cats make when the smell something weird and curl their mouth up all crazy....




i even included this next one-where i have some weird squinty eye thing going on- (the fan was blowing my hair in my eyes)




maybe i've found my artistic calling in life. upsetting couple portraits!!!

more tremont fun

weird metal sculpture thingy outside the ice cream shop "scoops"

scoops is kick ass...andnot just because they have this ice cream flavor-

yes, i am a huge nerd
mike is coveting my icecream because it looks so damn good (it is, i think it's the muggle crunch that makes it so f'ing fantastic!!)

street art

even more neighborhood fun! a local artist who calls himself 'the sign guy' puts these little paintings all over tremont on poles and signs. good stuff!




it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

random but cute graffiti


and this one is on a pole at a small gas station not far from us. saxon!??! i think that's an 80's hair metal band if i'm not mistaken. and what's up with the weird fruit magnets?? this is the same gas station that had maniquin heads on this same pole but they were gone before i could get a picture

our friends who run a gallery (the hybrid collective) in our neighborhood had a meeting/cookout last weekend...




their dog, horatio, aka gus's new walking buddy!




they asked everyone to bring something. so, what do we bring...classy bitches that we are?

that's right, a big ass jug of carlo rossi! i think the 'paid' sticker from the grocery store just adds to the whole class factor of it all.

The King

in honor of the 30th anniversary of Elvis' death....

something in the air maybe?

another sunday starts out good
we had dogs in scarves, red velvet cake (2 actually), pie, cheesy scary movies....


but of course it ends badly....

zoinks!

the saga of gorillamonkeypen is continued over on stickmom's blog. things aren't looking so good for him right now.

even dan was in rare form- we got to see 'crabby chore boy' in action. and he stole david's last piece of cake. what a bully!
