    Tell me you don't want to eat this Italian Plum Oatmeal right now.  Tell me!!  I dare you!  If you do, you're lying and you'll just have to deal with that.  Tonight I'm going to have dreams of this.

Stolen, v2.0

more adventurous: forty-six: "Adventures at Knights Ferry."

(via my wife)

    Knights Ferry makes me feel like a little kid. I run, jump, climb, laugh, hide, skip rocks, yell, dance, climb higher, run more, splash and pass out.

Stolen From My Wife:

more adventurous: sixty-five: "Trying to find a coat for my trip to New York quickly turned into the wife trying on the most hideous furry things she could find." (via my wife)

    Just for the record, these coats were not hideous, they were quite amazing. I felt like Cruella and a tree!

M'fuckin Monday!!!

    Simply because I've been over obsessed with the Black Swan Soundtrack, I don't have much to offer this week on the musical side, so its mostly movies this week.  But first, I would like to spread the good word and give you something that very well could help you with your day, week, life, whatever:

Seven Ways To Kick This Weeks Ass!!

(via Jetta Vegas in association with The Radical Uprising)

Now on to the films!  Based on real people:

• Temple Grandin - heres a site about the real Temple Grandin and her teachings on autism and such
• The Experiment - based on this documentary on the Stanford Prison Experiment

Documentaries / Food:

• I Like Killing Flies 
• Blood Into Wine - winos & Maynard fans alike will enjoy this

Ballet:

• Black Swan - because there are surprisingly still people who haven't seen it, wtc?
• Dancing Across Borders - like it or not, ballet is gorgeous to watch
• Center Stage - my guilty-not-guilty pleasure

Then all I can say on a music standpoint is to add more of these guys to your library:

• Clint Mansell
• Janet Jackson
• Jamiroquai
• Sam Sparro - for the wife

I just cursed at my yarn..

(via natalie dee)

    This was me about 20 minutes ago and it resulted in my pulling the guts out of my yarn and having a HUGE knot to unravel.  Now, yarn spread neatly across my desk, 7 & 7 in my glass and my work it out mix playing, I am ready to conquer this project.  Within a couple weeks I hope that some peoples I know are digging their toes into a plush rug of faux-grass!

The Word of the Day for April 2 is:
meshuggener \muh-SHUG-uhner\ noun
: a foolish or crazy person

example:  I am a meshuggener because its 10:15 pm and I'm having coffee.


    Seriously I feel like a bum.  I didn't work out today, didn't crochet or edit photos.  I didn't even read, which was one thing I was guaranteeing myself of doing this weekend.  Didn't didn't didn't, big fat EFF.  However by chance I did find the soundtrack to Black Swan, that's a plus, along with the amazing shower I just took accompanied by all the LUSH products:  BIG,  Its Raining Men, Veganese and to smell (even more) pretty I dabbed on some Lust (which I love, thank you Wifey). 
    I suppose its not all bad, just bummed I didn't do my workout mostly.  Seeing as how I've just induced myself with some coffee and the quiet house has my mind on overdrive, I'll probably be up a while and hopefully get some stuff done online.  Fingers crossed.

Liv Love.

    I absolutely adore Liv Tyler.  She's always been on top of it with her style, never over the top, always spot on.  When she cut all her hair off into that cute pixie, I debated short hair.  Then came 2008 and the hair cut that I am determined to have in a year or 2, the amazing 80s bob.

   I dedicated this entry to Liv because I saw this photo and then I started having flashes of all the fun choices she's made in clothes via the carpet & the street.

(via StyleSeenDaily)

To start with this particular outfit I was instantly drawn to her oxfords, I can't wait to get more in my shoe collection and wear em this spring, they're so cute!!  I remember when I went to private school and was made to wear oxfords and I despised them, dreaded the days I wore them, but now they've made their staple on the fashion world and I am definitely more open minded than I was at age 10.  Next, she's wearing denim & high waisted trousers which are both making a big stink this year.  Extremely excited about the high waisted pants because I think they can be dressed up with a nice button up or silk blouse or you can just throw a t shirt on and you're off.

Hello Fools.

    Spring has begun, baseball is here.  I've been thinking about my resolution for April and I do believe I'll be looking at jobs in SF.  I'd like to envision myself in LA or NY, but right now I'm taking baby steps and being realistic.
    I'd also like to point out my ridiculous excitement for

CADBURY EGG SEASON!!!

xxo

PS:  Here are a couple recipes for a Cadbury treat 

Damn her!

    How did she know about my weakness for nebulas?

I just don't want to like her, for some reason.  But she's had some fashion hits and g'dammit some music that I find myself listening to.  Talk to you later, I'm gonna watch this a few more times and dream of having deer legs.
