I'm so happy! I got to talk to a handful of friends tonight that I haven't had much contact with recently. Its awesome knowing that people who've been in your life at one point or another still think of you. I wish I had a couple million bucks so I could gather up my friends and take them on a Disneyland tour! How amazing would that be, the people that make you happiest and going to the happiest place(s) on earth - and of course a pit stop at Wizarding World Of Harry Potter (duh).
I'm going to start by saying Happy Zombie Jesus Day! Given the theme of the day I do believe watching zombie movies while drinking some beer & coffee sounds in order and of course watch my boys play at 1. But for right now I'm going to take the opportunity to pre-game my M'Fuckin Monday and introduce you to an amazing lil' band by the name of Dead Mans Bones.
Just by photo, how could you not be drawn in??
The band consists of Ryan Gosling his friend & the Silverlake Childrens Choir. The first time I heard the way he sings and then the kids singing along, I was hooked. Done. Check. Today it was just by lucky chance as I posted my status update that this song came on:
I would highly recommend listening to an actual copy of the song, but the clip was fun & I love those kids! I'll also use the lead into saying you should see Blue Valentine if you haven't. Incredible, uncomfortable, realistic & a dash of Ryan singing :x
So lets see, heres some of what I may watch today & some of my all around favorite zombies:
Night of the Living Dead (og) *
Return of the Living Dead
Evil Dead *
Zombieland *
Dead Snow *

For your viewing pleasure I'd also like to share something with you that one of my best friends showed me a few years ago. Its absolutely amazing and if you're not intrigued by mentalism prior to this, you should be after watching this video. Its in 2 parts (thankfully someone uploaded and HQ verision) so make sure you watch them both because it is just fantastic.
I haven't been as on my game as I would like to have been. I have indeed been crocheting a lot and now that I'm taking a breather and trying to remain calm ...
I'm going to make an attempt at a real blog update! For the past few weeks I've been attempting to make this faux grass rug for a friend of mine and its done nothing but make me want to pull the hair out of my head. I've always been a hands on / tutorial kinda girl, reading patterns or diagrams frustrates me and I hit boiling point at ridiculous speed. So consulting with friends and looking up random tutorials online, it seemed 99% positive and that everything was being done right and that there was no need for me to worry, only I couldn't stop. After starting multiple other projects to calm myself and take my mind off of the rug from hell (its not actually that bad, but I get worked up), I finally sat down a few nights ago and tweaked the pattern to make it my own and FINALLY have complete faith in it and that it will stay together (which was my fear, that it'd unravel as soon as he walked on it). I give you a sneak preview of the Grass rug:
I've also taken up making granny squares to use up all my bits of random yarn. May just make a pile of them or some day decide to make an actual afghan or something of that nature. Lets not get started on my new MLB obsession and/or the fact that I cannot stop buying Giants colors. Just observe.
My morning isn't too bad. I have a Giants game in 2 hours and some fresh coffee (which I'm hoping brings my brain back from the edge). Then I stumbled upon this on a friends page and it completely made my morning.
A whole week with no blogging and I can't even remember what I did. Theres a good sign, I forget unless I write it down and I'm only 28. Awesome. Anyhow, enjoy the one thing I have to give:
I have been slacking big time on my Monday prepping. I've just got projects thrown all over, I keep getting magazines in the mail so I get sucked into fashion for hrs at a time, trying to finish reading Water For Elephants so that I'm finally done with it and then of course the Giants.
Anyhow, I have been listening to oldies - they never get old :) haha.
