Never Fear! October 22, 2009

I have returned to you!

Lots of new stuff has happened since I last graced this lowly blog with my presence. My husband and I are looking for a new house, which is alot harder than I anticipated. I never thought I would have a strong dislike for real estate investors. They are snagging up all the houses we like before we get a chance! We even tried to get one that the old residents left POOP in and they got it first! Stupid poop loving investors. So in the meantime we are living in his mom’s house. Its way bigger than our apartment and we don’t pay $1000 a month for it, so its all good!

Also one of my friends Melissa is having a baby human growing inside of her. Weird. But, anyway, I started making a baby blanket for her called Tiramisu on the Ravelry site. It is such a gorgeous blanket (when other people made it). I just hope her baby is triangular because it keeps getting narrower. I should be done soon and I will post pictures.

Tomorrow I am going to Vegas with my husband and his band Only For the Night. They are playing at the Double Down on Friday! I’m pretty excited.

I don’t like making a post without pictures so I will give you one picture per subject. Enjoy.

Kitty Bones Jones! April 13, 2009

So here is a new ACEO I made. I just listed it on Ebay for sale for ONE DOLLAR. So just bid on it to make me feel good.
We’re trying to save up for a house down payment one dollar at a time….hey. Whatever it takes.

Oh and search AmbersArk on ebay.

Disneyland. The sexiest place on earth. April 9, 2009

So here is my husband, my sister-in-law and myself on Space Mountain. We’re the back three.

I hope the two girls in front bought the picture as a keepsake and forever have our faces etched into their memories.

Don’t look at me that way. April 6, 2009

Hi. I am taking a break from housework. I was up late last night working on a project about the sequencing of the human genome. It was sooo freakin exciting I just had to take a break and sleep off the eagerness of learning more.
I turned it in in class today. Which by the way – my teacher teaches by powerpoint only. So that means, a 7:30am class in the DARK while someone drones on about genetics.
I always try to fight it but i end up with my eyes closed and my head angled down toward my notebook so I kind of look like I’m concentrating.
Today I did that but woke up suddenly and looked back at the powerpoint and noticed the teacher looking at me while talking with a funny look on her face. I realized that my eyes were kind of crossed. I was THAT tired.
Todays lesson -Don’t look at biology teachers with crossed, half asleeep eyes while they are teaching about Down Syndrome.

Zwounds! March 30, 2009

Just got home a bit ago from building the Renaissance Faire. Yes. I AM that nerdy. I’ve been doing the faire for like over 10 years and it still holds a tender little spot in my heart. Yeah, its in the corner with the cobwebs and some shackles with skeletons – but its still there.
I am very happy to see Sid and AnnaLisa. We always have so much drunken super nerd fun. Mostly we just make fun of people and sell handmade soap in the meantime. Nomenclature Bath’s website is down right now but Ill let you know when its up. Super awesome soaps, cremes, and bath stuffs.
But I always want to do a flying donkey-punch to the people who are in full costume and in full character when we are just BUILDING the damn thing. STOP SAYING “AYE M’LADY” IF I ASK IF I CAN BORROW YOUR MAKITA!
And I always look forward to seeing these kinds of people. Or dread it. Im not quite sure what that feeling is….

Smitten Kitten March 23, 2009

So for the last 4 days I’ve been having to wake up every 2 hours. No, not to pee.

For this little guy! Introducing BARLEY! He came to my work in a Budweiser box (hence the name). He was only a couple days old when we got him, his umbilical cord was still attached!
So even though getting up every 2 hours sucks hard, this kitten makes it a little more fun.

I’ll be taking pics of him all the time and posting his updates. We won’t be keeping him, and will be adopting him to a good home when hes 8 weeks old.
That sunflower thing is a heating bag filled with corns. It makes a perfect warm mama zone for him at night.

Mmm Pear. March 19, 2009

I made this pear while sitting here watching America’s Next Top Model. Found the pattern here. Thanks to Amigurumi Girl!

I hate the Pope. March 18, 2009

yeah.
So he just visitied Africa and reaffirmed a ban on condoms. Africa. A place that is ravaged by HIV and AIDS. Not to mention RAPE. People in Africa have a belief that only sex with a virgin will cure AIDS, so what happens? Men with AIDS rape young virgins and give them HIV.

The Pope is no better than Hilter. He is condemning millions of people to death. It is on his head that a mother of 3 children dies of AIDS. It is on his head that a 13 year old girl was brutally gang raped and is now infected with a disease that will leave her dead and her family struggling to survive.

It makes me sick that people like this are still walking this Earth and are involved in religion.

I guess this is hitting so close to home because I sponsor a 9 year old girl in Lesotho, South Africa. Her mother died of AIDS and she works a farm with her father. We have exchanged letters and I only want her to overcome her hardships and become a strong, young, succesful, and HAPPY woman. Im so sad that, in the name of GOD, this beautiful young girl is put in harms way.

WWJD? Jesus would NOT let millions of people suffer and die in his name, because of something that could be prevented.

Shame on the Pope.

Jenny Lewis!! March 15, 2009

I just found out Jenny Lewis is going to be playing at the Pomona Glass House about 15 minutes from my house in ONE MONTH! I just peed my pants a little.

Super Fun Date Happy Time! March 15, 2009

Yaaaay. My husbands coming home and then we’re going to one of our favorite restaurants called Bright Star. Its Vegan Thai food and so freakin delicious I want to punch the cook in the face.

THEN we are going to see Watchmen! Im excited.  I worked all day today and now I am tired and need some kick-punching superhero action!

OH and…..drumroll please…..I got accepted into the college I wanted! I know, I know “But arent you kind of old to have just got accepted?”

The answer is “Nooooo. No ones too old to go to college.”  And I started school when I was 18 with a major in art. It was really fun, but a degree in “Oh, thats pretty” is worth crap.  And I have always loved animals so once I started working at the vet I decided I’m going to be a vet. So I got accepted into Cal Poly in Zoology and Animal Science.

Wee!

Heres a picture of the Beans just for fun.
