Otis, a fish interested in the Arts.

This is my new fish called Otis. I was bummed about coming back to school, but bringing my new friend made it that much more exciting. He is my first Beta, for some reason I have always been against them, and opted for the goldfish of whatever type, but there's a beginning for everything I guess. My dad had a beta once, his name was Alpha. 

Otis is sick. He had/has a fungal infection, so I went off and got him antibiotics of some sort which then turned his water bright green, but if he is healing, then I can stand the color. Hopefully the little guy will pull through. He and I watched Helvetica together. He, unlike my previous fish, has a more sophisticated taste, one which enjoys documentaries of typography. 

My two roommates and I have our first tap dance lesson tonight.   

Oh My Golly, Havin' a Holly Jolly One

Merry Christmas! I finally got a new digital camera which doesn't capture garbage like my previous piece of junk - so hopefully I might be posting some more pretty pictures. Like today! I have an old glittery bird ornament pinned into my hair for my Christmas spirit. Lately I've been into dressing my head with small creatures, feather, and bows of all sorts. Why not, the real estate is there and waiting for the attention!

I also painted my brother some classic slip on Vans for Christmas, and turns out he reallllyyy loved them! I knew he would like them, but he was more than thankful, and said they were "boss" after informing me that, "from now on, you're painting all my shoes," a feat I think I can handle. It was fun. I picked a narwhale since he's kinds into those. The glitter paint makes the shoe.  

Anyway, it was a good session of a Christmas so far, now I get to look forward to eating my heart out! Creme puffs, pasta of all sorts, lots of gingerbread, and paper crowns of course!

Holy Schnikes - 2 More Days?? .... Let Me Check Again

It's coming, and then it's gone. But we're still on the coming side, so soak it up! I've been working on a collection of sweater made animals. I'm into plush. Also, I've become a fan of wearing obnoxious feathers and bows and small creatures in my hair. If it's covered in glitter, all the better. Hopefully some pictures soon. In the mean time, eat more gingerbread!

Christmas in the Playhouse

When I get home, I'm watching this!

A Couple of Misfits

Frosted window panes, Jack Frost nipping at our noses, and toeses, etc. Today, what I will call the first real snow has come. No wind, or bitter cold, but nice slowly falling large flakes that always seem to end up right on the tip of my nose as I walk to and from class. I believe these flakes are coincidentally guiding me nearer to cross-eyed-ism. Last night Rudolph was on TV, followed by Ralphie's Christmas Story. Not to mention the Victoria's Secret fashion show. Two more weeks of school, then I too can join in the festivities. I'm thinking lots of baking! 

  

Until I saw this, I wasn't aware that being a dentist was as much of a handicap in society as having an obnoxious red nose.

In Memory of the Grassy Knoll

It's Thanksgiving break. I am in Illinois again for the holiday. Some fun things I like about Thanksgiving:

1) It's a production more than anything. Cooking, Eating, Disgesting, etc.
2) Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
3) Watching It's a Wonderful Life. This is the true beginning of Christmas season. It becomes officially appropriate to decorate, begin shopping, and other festive things of the sort. Not before Thanksgiving, after. This is a rule broken often which makes me a little bit sick sometimes. The longer you save it, the better it will be. At least that's what I've convinced myself. 

Suga Mama

I missed breakfast, but I made oatmeal, half of which ended up in my hair, and on my dress. Holy Shnikes, it's already Thanksgiving next week. That kick-starts a whole new vibe, people become Holiday-bound, and there's nothing you can do to stop them. The star up flagstaff will light up, which is one of my favorite changes in the winter, and the annual pilgrimages to the sight will begin. I just experienced my first dose of Christmas shopping today, but that didn't keeping from stopping at Bart's and splurging on no one else, but me. I'm infatuated with Beyonce, Sasha-Fierce, or whoever she is now. So until next time, I'll be lookin' for my freakum dress.  



Beyonce and a chic band? ....There's hope for me.
