American Doll Posse

I am excited about Tori Amos and her newest album. It's called American Doll Posse, and it's loaded with politics about our current messed up situation with GW and Iraq - of course translated by Tori and her new Greek Goddess personalities. Also really cool, is that each personality has it's own blog you can link too from her website. So far only 2 are created, but more will be posted soon.

You can also listen to a couple tracks from the new album, I particularily like Yo George where she wonders asks "Is this just the maddness of King George? You've got the whole nation on all fours."

Back to the Garden

I've finished the outline of Kristen's flower tattoo. I have to work on the color portion now, wich seems harder somehow. If she gets it, I want to go and watch. I can't even imagine someone having something on their body that I made, forever. It's a really nice feeling.

Tagged

These are some tags from old shopping trips to the Beverly Center. Oh beautiful tags, I love you so. I am such a sucker for them now since working for Guess. I like looking for tags almost more than looking for clothes. You don't have to be dissapointed in the dressing room.

Easter

This weekend went by so fast. Yesterday I drove to Lompoc with Christine for the day for Easter. I was really happy to spend time with my family and enjoy some time out of the city. I sadly forgot the camera :( Dad grilled salmon and we enjoyed homemade ice cream on apple crisp. I borrowed some records from my uncle I'm excited to listen to, but I was dead tired by the time I got home and sort of just fell asleep under the new quilt. Cozy cozy.

Magical Hair Rainbow

If you need a treat, read Christine's myspace blog. It's fantastic. She just posted this wonderful collage of her hairstyles over the years. I think when I met her she had the green hair on the bottom. Currently, she has short brown hair, column 1 row 5. I think. That's the way it looked last time I saw her. Who knows now? When my sister drove her kids up last weekend, Ari got on the phone and asked me if my hair was yellow or black this time so she'd know what to expect. I told her my hair is currently brown, and not died at all. How dull! Live on, hair of Christine, in your beautiful rainbow of glory.

Behold! The Dangle-Paw

Look, I try to stop myself, but I just can't. He is so precious and as you can see here, too fat to fit on his stoop. His rump hangs off and one tiny leg dangles so gracefully. Here's a crappy photo of a great Saul Williams poem I embroidered onto my quilt. Sigh - it's pretty slow at work today and I'm entertaining myself by scoping out sewing project books on Amazon. I understand that given the right conditions and time, how you can become so craft obsessed. I'm reeling in all the great blogs out there, and I begin to understand the craziness that grips Martha Stewart and how she has made crafting her life. Anyway, I think we need to get some more hiking pictures so hopefully we'll be going out next weekend for a hike. Aw crap, next weekend is Easter. Well, at least there is tons of nature at Lompoc and I'll get out of the apartment and clear my head a little.
