Alright, another quick post, (I guess I could just add this to the one I just made, but oh well)

So I follow the LJ community weloveamigurumi even though I do not crochet very much, but recently someone posted this awesomeness.



Ukulele Duo U900 on MySpace






So basically it's two little amigurumi dolls doing covers of the 1960's band "The Ventures" with added Japanese lyrics and clearly the most adorable crocheted doll stop motion animation I've ever seen. It is worth watching. Also I know what cd David can buy me for Christmas, haha.

Oh em gee you guys.

So one of my favorite movies is currently on the "watch instantly" function on Netflix. So if you all have net flix plz watch this movie, it will blow your mind.




Watch it instantly on netflix here

If you could lead me to any other movie that is basically about two men trying to kill each other over a bad day yet ends with a jazzy music video lead me to it, but I swear it doesn't exist.  This movie gives me a stomach ache, but I still really love it. I guess you could call it kind of like a suspense movie, It's not a genre that I usually watch.  I actually stumbled across this movie when I went to NAZ 8 a movie theater chain featuring only movies from India. I took the bart down there, by myself, and just watched it. I don't ever go to movies by myself anymore (too lonely!) but it was definently an interesting experience.   The music for the movie is kind of amazing, and Caroline agrees with me xD

Really, everyone needs more bollywood movies in their diet, all the movies I've seen from India have been beatiful and interesting, even if they're the equlivant to mainstream run of movies in the US that I generally avoid. 


ugh I have like 20 actual LJ posts i've been meaning to make.. whoops...

Steph is re-working her old webcomic, and all of her new concept art is really awesome! I met Steph through her comic back in 2001(?) I used to draw her fan art back then so it's only appropriate to draw her fan art now? :3


I don't know if Min would actually ride Mint (sorry steph, I keep using their old names) but Mint is so taaaaallllll XD


A staring contest between Mint and a Manticore? Or maybe the manticore is hitting on him. Min has no idea. I like the Manticore's 1960's anime hair.


:P I was trying to ink and color that other Uwagi/Capotto gardening picture, but I'm a litle dizzy today and having a hard time inking.

Lawl, here's some more doodles :P I'm trying to get used to Caroline's scanner, i don't dig the program.

The astroboy scan came out super weird. D:  The other doodle is of me being fat. And holding one of the enemies from the Klonoa game. We are fat together, yeay!

I saw this commercial while watching the daily show on hulu. When I saw it I pretty much squee-d. Apart from it being adorable, I love the use of texture and transparency in the characters and backgrounds. I generally don't like flat computer animation because a lot of it just screams  "LOOKIT ME! I'M MADE ON FLASH" (ala aqua teen hunger force) but I feel like the animator did a good job of making the most of flash animation, and not just making everything look like it's sliding around the screen.

I FINISHED MY FELT CAKE! I really should be driving to the party now, but I wanted to share them with you all first!



( Another picture of the cakes and some cookies )

It's photo time part 2. Sad thing is, this post is almost identical to my last photo post. Hahaha.  I know ALL OF YOU want to see pictures of my plants, right? :D

( Pictures of my plants and a hilarious gift from my ~dog~  )

So, if you don't already know, I have been sewing felt cake all weekend. My friend Kimi is having a dessert-potluck party/ house warming (not because she moved, but because her awful roommate moved) party next Saturday. Last time I hung out with Kimi we went to ranch 99 and she saw some stuffed cake and was impressed, so I thought I would make her some cakey little stuffies.  (wtf did i just say?) Mostly inspired from BitterSweet's blog post about her felt cakes, I have been having more fun than I thought I would.  Originally I was going to make Kimi one slice of cake, but now I have five pieces planned.



Unlike Hannah, I made my slices 1/6th of a circle instead of 1/8th. So they're much pudgier. I really should have started over and made them into 8ths, but I was already on a roll. Oh well. I am going to make toppings for them later. I am still trying to figure out how to make felt whipped cream D:  I did practice making a little strawberry though!  Once I finish i'll try to post about them again.  I really wanted to make a carrot cake one, but I don't have any felt which would be a good color for it ;_; The green one is supposed to be Matcha by the way. 

So I'm hoping to find a little pink cake box that I could put these guys in so when I take them to the party Kimi will actually think I brought a cake.  I already feel totally guilty, because I called her yesterday asking what her favorite kind of cake was and by the time I hung up it sounded like she was really excited about the cake i was going to bake!  D: I still need to think of what I'm going to actually cook for the party. Hahaha. 

I was so disappointed with the sketch, but this doesn't look half bad. I'm still terribly rusty ;D



I should have tried harder when drawing the plants, lawl. oh well. Capotto is kcanadensis 's character. His shovel is looking very sad. XD

This video.

Lawl I edited this post just so you can see me and my polar bear boyfriend. :3



I LUV YOU TINY POLARBEAR..

My past few weeks in pro/con point form.

Pro: i graduated!
Con: i don't have a place to live in Oakland yet

Pro: i will be working as a book arts lab assistant next year
Con: that job doesn't pay and i need to find a real job.

Pro: i'm alive.
Con:  my car blew a tire while i was driving to Tucson from LA

Pro: i am alive!!!
Con: my car rolled completely over while i was in it.

Pro: i didn't get injured badly
Con: my car got all the injuries for me ;____;

Pro: i'm not dead
Con: my beautiful car Woofie is dead.

Pro: no one else was in the accident or was affected by it
Con: Woofie is gone.

Pro: most of my shit in the car was okay.
Con: my scanner is ruined

Pro: MY COMPUTER AND HARD DRIVE IS OKAY
Con: i am scared to death they're going to stop working any minute now.  (i found my computer bag 2 or 3 yards away from the crash when i got out of the car)

Pro: my mom and brother got me a goddamnmotherfucking Wii as a graduation gift OMFG
Con: i feel pretty guilty about it, seeing as i ruined my car.


I've been kinda vomitty and headachey since the accident, but i'm positive it's just from stress.  i have a lot of headaches on a normal basis so i'm not especially worried about my health.   HEY GUYS I DIDN'T DIE. OMFG. i felt like i was rolling in that car for HOURS.

i'm going to go play some wii.  so far i just have wii sports and SSB:brawl.  once i figure out how to play brawl DOES ANYONE WANT TO PLAY WITH MEEE? i'm super pissed Captain Falcon isn't in it, he better be unlockable, or else i'm going to have to find a new character to play ;__;

ughhh. i am so beat up! soon i will be defeated. 

tired? all the time?
sick? I'm covered in rashes!! WHY AM I COVERED IN RASHES?  i apparently have Eczema? THANKS A LOT, BODY.
lost? yes. i don't have any place to live and it terrifies me. 
sad? -__-

here's my sweet manticore. i made him with Gocco   the scan, of course, does no justice to the sweetness of the print


i graduate on the 17th..... only 15 days....


MAJOR BOOK DUE IN 3 DAYS.  ASS IN GEAR TIME.

I've been making a lot of posters and cards and junk for my classes this year. 
here's the poster i made for my ceramics class  (the teacher wanted to have a goddamn  show  of our work as if we didn't have enough stuff to do)


it looks a lot like the other card i made.  OH WELL.  it's so sad that doing this extra wrk is really the only time i draw for my classes...

BY THE WAY. I REALLY LIKE BEARS RIGHT NOW.   BEARS ARE SWEET.
also i totally need some new icons.

So i really must be a horrible person.

i invite people to go to the zoo so i can feed them sandwiches and cupcakes and have fun for my birthday (which i'm not even emphasizing, i don't give a damn, it's just an excuse to have a party ) and more than half the people i invite ARE TOTALLY WISHY-WASHY.  how hard is it to say yes or no?  it's not like i'm asking people to come and do my taxes for me! 

at this point it's really just rude.  i've contacted people multiple times asking if they're coming or not.... i need to know how much food to buy. 
it's gotten to the point where it's just hurting my feelings


ugh....


anyway, i made another amigurumi whale! he's green this time, and much smaller (because i was crocheting wrong last time)

I made him some little flippers on my own! and i also changed the pattern so that the tail worked better. 
his face is much more even this time :]

sorry about the weird camera phone pictures XD

okay... i'm trying to be happier...


aren't my dogs the cutest thing in the world? XD


picture taken with my mom's phone.  Watson is the one on top looking super cute as always.  he's a brindled Scottish terrier.  Hamish has his tongue out, he's a scottie / westie mix.

hey guess what guys.

i had my thesis exhibition.

here are some pictures.







i'll post more pictures later. 

OH MY GOD.


earlier this evening i shocked myself unpluging my lamp from a surge protector.  touched both tongs by accident when trying to get it out.  I have never shocked myself that bad before, it was super scary.

D:

talking about dying a little bit.... jeez.

Happy March Wednesday morning  Chibi-face!
