the days of our lives.

lots of newness! i had my first official gallery opening on the 10th of july at aperture gallery in salt lake city. more info here. what a fantastic event! much food, drink, friends, live music and more. pictures to follow soon! all credit goes to one of my dearest, ms. heidi gress who not only forced me to get out of my comfort zone, but put the whole event together. bless her. the show can still be seen through the month by appointment, or you can catch a second opening again on gallery stroll this upcoming friday, july 17th. there are some very talented artists in there, i highly recommend it!!

my favorite, favorite event ever took place last weekend out towards the spiral jetty. craig and i decided to spend the night out there for a grand adventure. only, we left at 10:30 in the p.m., and got hopelessly lost. in the desert. on bad dirt roads. oh but what a time we had! both my front tires blew out and we laughed and laughed and laughed. we curled up in the back of my truck for a few hours sleep, woke up early and started walking. and walking. and walking. we had lots of water, a bagel, and plenty of sunscreen. after about 4-5 hours we reached the golden spike museum, got freshened up and called a tow truck. got new tires, got to salt lake and stuffed our faces at coachman's. some of the best parts can not even be explained at all. but my brain will always think sweetly of this wonderful adventure of being lost in the desert. even though we never did see the spiral jetty!












also. check out these two bands. the venetian snares and jeremy jay. my new two favorites.

egg salad sandwiches and ridiculousness.

you'd think i'd be shocked at others' abilities to ask tactless questions.
you would think i'd be shocked at the lies people can tell themselves and others.
you would think i'd be shocked out how bizarre my life continues to get.

well. i'm not.




i just ask for a little simplicity, and for heaven's sake a little privacy in my personal life. just give me an egg salad sandwich and a good book and leave me the hell alone. unless i already know and love you. then you can come curl up with me and eat tasty snacks. oh and play my ukulele.

cartoon poop, stupid white people, and frida kahlo- back in business.

let's start things off with something that greatly disturbs me. the charmin toilet paper commercials. the ones with the bears that openly crap themselves next to a tree and help each other wipe. am i the only one who gets seriously creeped out by those commercials? just thought i'd bring that out to the table.




secondly. i'm moving again! hallelujah! (any more awesome volunteers to help me again?) and i got a sweet new job. my DREAM job, actually--it's at utrecht. being surrounded by art and art accessories is equivalent to giving a pimp a free herd of 1,500 hot hoes. life is gold.

so i was privileged enough to breeze through the gateway mall a while ago, and started realizing a few things. mostly one thing, actually. everyone there was white. then i started watching the behavior of these people, (not that i'm not white too, hah.)and the nature of the products they were buying. it cracked me up. then i began to make other observations about white people, and the weird things they get sucked into. (i'd like to think i don't conform all that much... ;) ) here's what i came up with so far:

*build-a-bear.
*having jobs where they get to wear fancy wireless earpieces.(old navy, gap, abercrombie, etc.
*zuka juice with extra energy/wheat grass shots.
*GOING GREEN.
*vacationing in rome or paris.
*red wine.
*rei.
*how to best help africa.
*becoming vegans. (i could be totally in the dark on this one, but i have yet to meet a non-white vegan.)(please, prove me wrong.)
*shopping at target.
*irish pubs.
*80's music.
*banana republic.

so i realize the list is small, but i add to it when i observe really tacky, obvious things we tend to do. also, someone suggested this site to me a few days ago.i guess someone else noticed this phenomenon too and has had a lot of time to think about it! we even had some of the same things on our lists. i laughed so damn hard. what fantastic read.

last bit of news, i brought frida kahlo back from the dead.



later boners.

longest sunday evening ever.

well darlings. i've missed you so. let's chat.

ever feel like this?

well i do right now.

(see melanie pullen's other fantastic and deliciously gory photography here:)


in other news, i found a dead beaver on highland drive and 3900 south. in the middle of the night. no where NEAR water. no where near the mountains. wowzers! i laughed and laughed and laughed and laughed. i was so sad it was dead, but was terribly amused to have found such a strange thing in the middle of the intersection. it's tummy felt like a water bed! and it was so big! i was about to put it into my truck...my thoughts were this: i can take it home and examine it! take really neat photos! just think of the few days i could draw it before it starts to stink! or, best of all, i could have it stuffed! how does one even going about getting that done anyways? well as usually happens to me when i come across really cool things, some vet pulled over and called animal services. i think she got creeped out at my lingering and stayed until i left. LAME! probably for the best.

briefing.

oh the neglect. if this blog were a live child that popped out of my vagina, it would now be dead. green and gray, melting fat, flesh and fluid onto the floor. well, good thing it's just a blog. i hate picking up a stinky mess.

a brief briefing of what i have been doing:

*falling head over heels (hills?)(heals?)(hah)in love. love. love.
*moved out of the girl scout cabin.
*moved into the most bizarre place on the face of this earth. (but i have a big screen tv!!!)
*got locked in my bedroom for hours and hours. scratch marks now on the door.
*stepped in dog poop. bare feet.
*snowstorm! more donuts in the parking lot.
*late night airport meandering.
*quit my job as a mail person. cramped my style. not as sexy as i thought it would be.
*horror movies.
*hickeys.
*saving my mum's dog from the pound.
*going to bed when you are just getting up.
*hitting 125 mph.
*friends and their problems with love. or lack thereof. and their problems with drugs. or lack thereof.
*the explosion of my computer. and possible loss of all my photos. and music. meh.
*the obsession for the prom dress begins.
*food. and lots of it.
*playing at being retarded.
*falling in the river.
*spring fever.
*the passionate love affair i'm developing with my netipot.
*graphic novels.
*the hitler/God discussion with my father.
*steroids up my ass.
*growing obsession with wanting to candle my ears.


speaking of netipots. here is my first encounter. also, did i mention that i'm incredibly awesome? i just wanted to reassure you prior to your watching my film.



Tuesday, March 11, 2008

don't fret my pets.

i have not left you. i just have little access to the computer as of late. and boy. do i have juicy stories to elaborate on. and as i am being kicked off as we speak, they will have to come at some very non-distant future. aren't you just so excited?? well, i am. ok.

angry rant. a.k.a longest post ever.

gentle reader,

today i want to discuss why i despise most people. this may very well include you.

**ladies. i do not want to bloody hear about your babies. and how cute they are. and how ahead of the learning curve they are. and how smart they are. and how they said the funniest things today! THEY ARE USUALLY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER BABY THAT IS BORN EVERY DAY. in fact, this is just how UN-SPECIAL AND COMMONPLACE you and your baby really are:

4 births each second of every day
245 births each minute
14,709 births each hour
353,015 births per day
128.9 million births per year

yes, i will smile, nod, widen my eyes appropriately at statistics given to you by your dr about how awesome you baby is, BUT I DO NOT CARE. i don't! there. i said it. call me a shit head.

(please note that i am much more tolerant to these things only if i know the woman/child--sisters, close close friends.)(i'm not a total asshole.)

**pedestrians. you are in my way. when i am walking, and when i am driving. i guess you are too busy being fat and stupid as you meander around the sidewalk and the middle of the road. well. i'm just going to start considering running you all over. i'm just sayin'.




**men. i will no longer tolerate shitty behavior! we women are not objects, weak or dumb. (well ok, there are some out there. yes. they dwell in walmart, mostly.) i have hit one boy repeatedly in the face, punched another in the eye, and verbally brought a third to his knees- all this year only! and all in the name of standing up for myself and my integrity. i am overwhelmed and sickened by the dropping of standards in the treatment of women. i'm not going to go out and rally about it or become some crazy feminist lesbo to get my point across, but do it around me, and you WILL have a black eye. not an idle threat.

**girls. why in heavens name would you ever ever ever buy ugg boots? i keep a tally of how many i see each day on campus. it averages out to 13. throw on your faux-fur trimmed puffy white coat, mid-calf length terry cloth work out pants and your biggest hoop earrings-- mother fucker! you are one fashionable bitch. look how they make this woman so much cooler than she already is.


actually, every time i see a girl wearing a pair, i venomously think of a way i could ruin them as i walked by...throw up...black ink...knifing them as i saunter by...and i automatically assume the girl is a total mindless consumer whore who will never be able to hold up a conversation. based on her boots. how shallow can i be?


i absolutely realize this is a very stupid post, and i could go on and on and on about how much i hate people. but it's mostly just today. this is most certainly a product of lack of sleep for days and days and being surrounded by IDIOTS in my daily life. srsly. guh. i am in a very bad mood and i just want to steal a car. an insanely fast car, then a jet, fly to sweden to smoke ganja, drink absinthe and bang every hot guy i can get my arms around. then wake up laying in bed draped with adorable puppies. while getting an all day message by all the men i just banged, i will be eating cheese and european chocolate whilst listening to jens lekman. gaaaaah. oh and, all this in a giant hot air balloon.

don't know who jens lekman is? shame on you. here, let me help you:

things! wonderful things!

probably the funniest craigslist add i have ever laid eyes upon. worth the quick read. especially if you enjoy the fuck word as much as i do.

so today at the post office (my place of work) i was just typing typing typing away when all of the sudden,i thought i might actually know who lives at the address i saw flashing before my eyes...i wrote it down, made a text, and hoohah! it was rory homan's mum's house in oregon! how wicked awesome is that? wait did that even make sense?

also. moving blows. anyone want to come help me move? again, the offer still stands for the making of delicious food, bj's, whatev. i'm open for suggestions.

here! enjoy some music i just uploaded. some old favorites of mine.

emotional guts.

i'm having a near death remembrance. i think i'm going to be sick.


hours later, and on the plus side, i just found these:








the fun is all from
here. i would highly suggest looking at these pictures. i did for over an hour. seriously.

Friday, February 22, 2008

blah blah blah blah blah blah

for big reasons and little reasons, i can not sleep. there is too much music, too many amazing people and too much art for me to ever rest again. oh and food. amongst other things. i would highly suggest that everyone who is not either boning right this second or halfway through pizza from the pi must see this movie right away!! it is one of the most beautiful films i have ever seen.




also, my puppy has gut rot gas of death. i think i threw up in my mouth a little.

STORY: so i pulled over today to take pictures of a freshly smashed deer in the road. all four legs were bent in the wrong direction, and it's big pink tongue was lolling out the smashed mouth. can you even imagine the incredibleness of the photos? well. you will just have to do exactly that because a cop pulled over and yelled at me declaring that i was truly disgusting! and would not let me take any photos. he didn't want to hear my pleas that i am an artist who probably wants to paint it, and really likes roadkill, and i promise i wasn't touching it! what a butt plug. so i hope you enjoyed my story minus the awesome visuals. well no, here. let us not totally disappoint! this is the last deer i found. not as fresh, but equally as amazing.

post valentines day. aka "the mexican food and russell stover's chocolates that are pleasantly rotting in my guts."

let me sum all of today in one exciting video.




it all began with feather comforters and puppy snuggles, commenced with me stuffing my face with shitty chocolates out of a red foil, heart shaped box. let it be known that i had a day full of food. puppies. family. hair dye. chocolate. snow. bills. decisions. sad tears. happy tears. sexy times. flowers. warm conversations. warm tom. music. life is most surprising.

ALSO: so this is what the volume knob is for. turn it fucking up.

valentines day is for suckers anyways. also! HELP!

happy dry humping, levi lovin' day.




UUUGGH. OK. I NEED HELP DESPERATELY. i need one of two things: to find a ridiculously cool place to live in by the end of this month!!! must be closer to downtown under $400 that will allow me, nina, bruce, george michael and maebe to all live in OR someone to move into my place with me that is willing to pay $387 plus utilities. GAAAH! ideas anyone?? i'll do anything. beg, cook you delicious food, bj's, whatever.

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

oh jose.

happy unhappy anniversary of dying jose. that was really stupid of you. but, i love you anyways. i miss you with all my heart and soul. oh, and, beagle nuts.



a song that makes me think sweetly of you.

"quinn was here."

barbarella.

one of my new favorite films: barbarella. nothing is hotter then seeing jane fonda being spilled out of a plastic space suit butt naked, gliding around in zero gravity. oh, and, banging everyone in sight. from a feathery blind angel to a s&m evil queen. not only does she get attacked by fanged dolls that sexily tear her nylons to shreds, she gets punished the "excessive machine"- a musical organ that is supposed to kill her by giving intense orgasms that are just too much to handle! wow! she is so hot, it's almost enough to make me switch teams. this clip is the first 4 minutes 48 seconds of the film. i hope you enjoy it as much as i did.




also, look at this awesome picture i just found.

DEAR you know exactly who you are:

i want to drink rice milk with you.
i want to drive on the wrong side of the road with you.
i want to go to my favorite graveyard and read books with you.
i want to build a snow cave with you.
i want to make fun of your musical taste.
i want to get really fat with you.
i want to get arrested with you for something totally ridiculous.
i want to wear your underwear on my head.
i want to go to new zealand with you and become wild jungle people.
i want to give you a billion blowjobs.
i want to let off illegal fireworks with you.
i want to go to a civilized lunch with you. and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk and talk.
i want to see your eyes go big and buggy with excitement all the time.
i want to have a bubble gum blowing contest with you.
i want to go to the zoo with you.
i want to drive really fast with you.
i want to take the longest roadtrip ever with you.
i want to hold your hand.
i want to hear every damn detail about your life. how often you piss. color of your toothbrush.
i want to have a super nacho eating contest with you.
i want to you to be my valentine.
i want to do ganja with you. what? hah.
i want to watch sympathy for lady vengeance with you.
i want to believe your compliments.
i want to doorbell ditch with you.
i want to own a bunny with you.
i want to brush my teeth with you.
i want to have you push me around in a shopping cart.
i want, well...you.

this is exactly how you make me feel.




thank you for randomly stepping into my life when i least expected it.
