Happy All Hallow's Eve!

Some of my favorite shops!

If your reading this journal it is a good bet that you know me and know that I'm very odd. lol so with that I thought that I might share some of my favorite shops that have some fun and neat things. Some off the beaten path and some just not really known that well.

-First up is Threadless: http://threadless.com/
Has the BEST t-shirts (and some pink ones lol Craig) that are made my artist voted on and then sold. So in other words you can vote on what t-shirts you want and like and if they win they will e-mail to tell you that you can now buy them!

-Second is Squishables: http://www.squishable.com/s/
I don't think many people know that I have collected stuffed animals both large and small since I was a little kids. But then again I like odd things so this site takes a twist on it. They sell semi large stuffed animal-ish pillows! Cool round animal pillows ^_^! Go have a look to see what I mean.

-Third is Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/index.php
This is a really cool place. Think of it like ebay for handmade things. Now I know what many people think when they hear handmade.... but this stuff is so much higher quality then you'd ever believe! It is like walking into a mall store. And they sell almost anything you can think of. From Jewry and clothing to beautiful things to decorate you house. I love seller gfox88's steel rings and amlowi's knitted hats. Just type something in and see what you can find.

-Fourth and last for tonight is Uncommon Goods: http://www.uncommongoods.com/
This place is a bit pricier then the others but it has a lot of cool and quirkier things for the house and yard. Not everything is a ton of money but enough of it is. Anyway it is a cool and neat place to pick up that odd "odds and ends". I picked up a cute little buddha bowl and mug from here and love them to death!

Whelp that is it for right now. And yep my taste is odd ^_^

Feeling drained

I just got done helping Rachel and she kinda blew it off as nothing and went image surfing for pics of her boy toy crush 'The Judist Brothers' while I scanned Beowulf for phrases that would fit her HW.

....more then an hour later after finding all she needed but one I got sick of her thinking my help was nothing and her wasting time on the interweb and tossed the book back at her and told her to find it herself.

She said "should I ask the others (family) to find it then"? >.> ummm no as you are in an honors class you SHOULD be doing it yourself not looking for more images of that damned band to slather all over your notebook.

She looked for a few mins and then just stuck crap in the last spot and then gathered up her crap and left my room.



I'm sorry but if I'm helping you with something and you think my help is nothing worth while and you don't show me that you appreciate it then just go bump it on down the road and don't ask for my help.

I'm tired and worn out and feel dead so with bleary eyes and a belittled smack to the face I was not going to take it.

It shows that I've been worn out by my midterm crap and I was just not going to take her crap.....

uggg venting it feels good!


LOL its days like these that I'm glad that I have nonsensical fuzzy eared hats to jam on my head and make people wonder about my sanity ^_^

I see dead people O.O

Ok not really lol.


So since I have no plans and no plans to run my siblings around trick-or-treating (neither want to as they feel to old to) I'm looking up horror flicks for Halloween.


So popcorn and chills are the plans for me and as such I'm now digging through them on netflix. First off is "Fido" a horror/comedy. No reason ya can't have a laugh while shivering. Next we have "The Return" which is in the same vain as the J-horror (Japanese Horror) favorite "Ju-on" ("The Grudge" In America) and "Ringu" ("The Ring") but American made. One of those ones that keeps you guessing until the very end. Good thing because I have a tendency to be able to figure many films out before the mid point and that can make it a tad boring for me (lol John hates when I can tell him who or what did it by the mid point in a movie). Next is the remake of Hong Kong horror/thriller "Gin Gwai". "The Eye" is about a blind woman given sight after an operation only to start seeing things. Not a new idea by any stretch but hey it looks like it can squeeze a few jumps and spooks out of it.

*sigh* It is rather hard to find a good horror flick that is not either 1)a slasher flick, or 2) rated 'R'. And when trying to get films that both John will watch and Paul and Rachel will not bock at it is kinda tuff. So I hope they like the pick I have made for a fun and shivering Hallow's Eve.

Makes you wonder

Saw this on Post Secret and it makes you wonder if it will be attempted. I know I brought it up to John in passing once a while ago and he said he would not be surprised if some kook tried it but failed horribly.



It says "It's only a matter of time..."

Avatars (icons) time

So John bugged me to whip up a few more avas for his LJ/blog so here are some John-alicous ava sized pics all ready to go.

(John you either have to give me your password or work with me so I can upload them to your LJ FYI)

In order they are: 1. "Glomp", 2. "hidden", 3. "luvs driving", 4. "Do you have nummies?" and last 5. "plotting"

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.






Oh also this one that I whipped up before but John missed me posting it:

Lets call it "Baseball cap" to make it easy (though "betrayer" also leaps to mind ^_^ ...ask John he'll tell ya why lol)



And just because I was already working with the pics in Paint and Gimp I made a few more for me lol.

They are: 1. "Peek", 2. "grin" and the shot that is becoming a tradition with each trip 3. "car mirror YS/GT"

1. 2. 3.


Thats it for now. If anyone want to have be scale/size pics, crop them or make banners and avas/icons for them and or their blogs just note me here or e-mail me and I'll work with ya. They really are not that hard and they are fun.

Taggin Up by the U

Saw this and just had to capture this and post it up. This is on the old tennis courts in 'University Town' by the U of U just off 13th East and 1st South I believe.

It was up once before and then got covered up and then a few days later appeared again.


Its odd. I mean how often do you see anything like Arabic graffiti in Utah of all places? Interesting.

Finally caught it last night while out with the siblings running errands.
