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.
