Weekend Update

August 27, 2010August 24, 2010 | 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

August 26, 2010August 24, 2010 | 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:

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.

Yummy Times with Elliott

August 25, 2010August 24, 2010 | Viciously Sweet

Ell’s feeling Yummy head to toe.

In my continuation of food related doodles I bring you Elliott my cat, covered in your dinner:

He wishes he could do this and not be in trouble.

You make me feel like a natural Pod.

Disclaimer: this post has nothing to do with I-pods. just Pea-pods.

Do you like Peas?

Have you ever wanted a pea pod costume and not been an infant?

I know I have…

In my imagination, all my dreams are alive! I wish I had pea green tights.

Care for a Golden Gaytime?

August 24, 2010 | Viciously Sweet

Okay I cannot resist posting this 1980’s Australian ice cream commercial.
It’s really funny, and not in the way intended. I suggest watching it to find out why “it’s so hard to have a gaytime on your own.”

Did you make that… yourself?

August 19, 2010November 11, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

This post is not a doodle…

Are you excited?

This post is about something I find terrifying.

This Shirt, as seen on one of my favorite clothing websites:

It looks like a person who couldn’t sew tried to stitch this together the only way they knew how… the wrong way. I find this shirt is not as artistic as the website would like me to perceive it. Especially for $40, this is ridiculous.

Also it reminds me of that episode of the Cosby Show when Denise made Theo a replica of a shirt he wanted and it ended up looking like this:

Gordon Gartrell this is not.

Enjoy your day.

Shrimp

Today’s doodle/story needs only but a brief description.

I was thinking about what it would be like to be dressed like a crustacean. Not for Halloween, or for anything fancy… just an average day dressed like an aquatic friend. So I drew this:
