i look like a monkey

and i smell like one too!


21!

i like to believe that a crazy bird lady is still a little more appealing than a crazy cat lady though...

The Blow - Parentheses

And when you're holding me
we make a pair of parentheses.
There's plenty space to encase
whatever weird way my mind goes,
I know I’ll be safe in these arms.


brandon puts up with a lot of my crazies but apparently he draws the line at collecting bird houses o_O

*sigh

if my dreams are the wind then yeah, i'd tooootally be gone with it. (that didn't quite make sense to me either)

picked up Gone With The Wind at the library today. 3 months ago it took me an unnecessary 3 months to just get to chapter 35 (a little over half of the book). since i maxed out my renewels, i went and finished 3 other books instead which now brings us to this point. i hope i'll finally see what the big deal about rhett butler is!

i kept telling myself that i would take a break from pleasure-reading this semester so that i wouldn't risk falling behind in my lame textbook reading assignments... but i swear my mind is holding some kind of threat over my body's head (ha!) because throughout my hour and a half train rides, my arms absolutely refuse to reach into my bag to pull out dreadful books on the Golden Section and Sacred Geometry. mmblehhHh

having to go through the hassle of carrying this behemoth of a novel around is better than just sitting there wasting precious time, right? i can deal. i can deal like scarlett o'hara. unless something horrible happens to her and she decides she can't handle life anymore...???!?! omg i really need to finish this now >_>

my last thought before walking out was how much i hope i'll be able to raise my future family in a nice home that is walking-distance from a library. that would be ideal :)

vday

we spent the day helping our dearest pmbq out at a con in sf that apparently left us feeling a little french.. honh honh honh


(which moustache do you prefer? i'm personally a fan of the curls)

must've been from all the bon bons consumed. the little face is saying "oui! je suis très délicieux!"


we felt sooo ballin' after getting paid that we went right on over to jack in the box and spoiled ourselves with food not limited to the value menu. sour dough jacks are a luxury.


then we came home to fondue!!!



it was allllllmost just as good as chicken and waffles night last week. wait, what did i just say? yeahthat'sright, chicken and waffles. CHIcken and WAFfles omGAD rochelle is the best thing that ever happened to me. jk. mel is 'cause those waffles were utter perfection

and that concludes vday`09

i don't think brandon and i have ever been much of the valentines day type of people. this was probably the first time we even saw each other on the actual day since high school. even then, the closest we probably ever came to 'celebrating' was watching the flavor of love marathon while eating candy haha. works for us!

pour, sip, breathe, work, work, work

i like it when my grandparents come over for lunch. it means bringing out the goood tea~ yum. and when they leave i get the rest ~ yum yum


and back to work i go.

quick sketches and color studies:


perspectives have always been my weakness :/

i'm trying to make this semester better than the last. so far not so bad!
