The End of Summer

| Viciously Sweet

So this is how Jimmy and I talk during the summer…

So now that summer is over whatever shall we discuss? Answer: Probably how cold we are.

Also I am sorry I didn’t feel like coloring or not making it look like it was on a crinkly old piece of paper.

Lists of Yesterday… today

| Viciously Sweet

Since this weekend I was trapped at home with 5 very small, super homeless kittens (I will explain in another post.) I decided to clean up and give away some already read books. Including books I’ve had since high school… Like that one from Mr. O’s class that we never ever used, not even once.

On a side note: One of my personal favorites “The Picture of Dorian Gray” will never be given away, but was with those stacks of books.

To get to the point of this post… I was perusing my old reading material when a hilarious list slid out from between its pages. It was a list with who my high school friends would be if it were the 1980’s.

The answers are as follows:

Christine’s tide would be high as Blondie’s front woman Deborah Harry

Although no longer blond, Christine could pull off this look. Give it a whirl.

Isabel would be rocking and rolling as Joan Jett.

I wonder if Joan could love Clay Aiken like that...

Nikki T. would be Chrissy Hynde of the Pretenders fame. Because both of them love black clothes

Nikki T is all about the rock n' roll, and and wearing black...

Lisa was would be lacey glove wearing Madonna…

 

and Yours truly would be the Technicolor Cyndi Lauper.

Okay I mostly calm down my clothing for work... but neon green is a neutral, I promise.

All of these things still in a way make sense.

I think this photo fills in the mind gap of this list.

There is something to say about the hilarious truths of High School girls. Boy, do I still love making lists though.

Weekend Update

| Viciously Sweet

I’m so over this Conan thing. The best name in Late Night is “Jimmy.”

I have lately been cultivating a new appreciation for Jimmy Fallon. He reminds me of Pee wee Herman a bit (his clothing and sillyness), and I really am fascinated by his late night show.

I try to stay up to watch it as much as possible, and if I can’t I will definitely watch it on hulu. Because it’s so good, when he writes his thank you notes… and his actually funny*stand up! 

*Most late night host’s stand-up is the least funny thing in the world.

He keeps additionally adding funny things like this:

A video about ukelele music and getting work done which will not link to this site

And I actually can’t wait for his hosting of the emmy’s:

Thank you Jimmy.

Taco Lake

| Viciously Sweet

In school I was always trying to link my favorite things like Modernism and Gothicism, and tacos.

I came up with many ( mostly failed) ideas to link them into a beautiful hybrid… including a fake Architecture Firm called “Fiberglass Taco”…

Well today no one has shot down my next foray into a taco hybrid world… A taco ballet:

I call it “Taco Lake”

Here is a more than helpful advertising poster:

It's also 250% more delicious and spicy than "Swan Lake"

And here I is a great rendering of me dancing “the Dance of the blithe salsa”:

My imagination is limitless… because much like swan lake I plan on pulling all the stops including a children’s dance where they are little taquitos.

Unmotivating Words from Studio

| Viciously Sweet

Here is a small collection of some of the hilarious and hurtful things I heard during 5 years of architecture school.

All names have been removed to protect the innocent, and me from lawsuits.

The last one offended photobucket. Well it wasn’t so pleasant being told that either….
