B&W DRAWING @ PIKE PLACE BREWERY

This painting has really great depth. The hand clearly draws light in a totally different way than the face. Good stuff!

Sadly, Fish was found dead in his new habitat yesterday afternoon. :( Brad is guessing it was deadly combination of multiple environment and water changes + new tank-mates that may or may not have been harboring ich. On a lighter note, Brad's platty's apparently gave live birth to itty bitty baby fish. Unfortunately, they were eaten up by the other fish by the time I got to his place. :/

LITTLE SHRIMP IN MY SPOON

RANDOM REMAINS

THE HUMMINGBIRD + THE PEACH SKY

KASPER DIGGIN' ON THE NEW SPREAD

He's like, "Fuck that shit! I'm sooo not sleeping on the floor anymore!"

FANCY BUSINESS

I almost forgot! These are my latest artsy-fartsy acquisitions. Box set of 8. These are my fav 4. Aren't they fancy biz?

FERGIE

This is my female. Her name is Fergie b/c she's got lady lumps. Lover Boy is humpin' on her all the time. I'm highly amused by how she'll play dead when he's all lovin' on her all froggy-style.

PARTY FOUL!

Note to self: Blowing out the candle when it's full of hot wax is a bad idea.

So I'm kind of a freak about minty smelling stuff.  Booth's Breathe Easy Body Wash is probably one of my most favorite finds ever ever ever.  It's fairly cheap, but hard to find.  Another is minty aromatic candles.  Les got me some bangin' candles for xmas that seemed to last forever, but of course, I managed to use it all up in an effort to soothe my inner rawr.  I did some research on why minty stuff is so soothing to me and found the following:

• Eucalyptus increases brain wave activity + counters mental fatigue.

• Peppermint, which is essentially a big dose of menthol,"cools emotions and dissipates anger, hysteria and nervousness. It energizes and relieves mental fatigue. It diminishes depression. Peppermint oil increases alertness and improves concentration. It awakens the central nervous system, stimulates the brain and clarifies thought processes."

CHEEZ!

This is Brad being cheeky.  I told him I was taking him shopping so he put on his most hideous orange shirt + fugly Kawasaki trucker hat in an effort to invoke disgust and win a "Get out of jail shopping free card."

LOVER BOY

He is by far the most active + photogenic of the bunch.

AMPLEXING

My male frog has been chirping and humping everything in sight! He's a horny little guy. Still needs a name. I hearby declare his name is now officially "La-La-Lover Boy".

THE FANCY NEW SPREAD

I really didn't want to part with my beloved black satin sheets and managed to add a little color to my midnight/morning repitoire. :) Yay for fatty sales @ Urban!

MY LITTLE SLEEPY MUFFIN

Making good use of the new rug. Heh!

THE FAWN

...is my fav! He greets me every morning. I'm thinking he needs a name. We'll call him Bambi. No! His name is Bambimbo, like a mutant version of Bimbo's Bitchin' Burritos.

THE SNAIL + THE SPIDER + THE FAWN

RAWR RABBIT TELEPHONE BOOTH ADDENDUMS

Looks like rawr rabbit picked himself up some booze + some rowdy tree friends.

POST ALLEY

Rewind a month of two.  We're outside of Alibi Room in Post Alley and the wall has a strange texture to it.



Ends up it's a gang of gnarly chewed-up gum stuck on the corridors of the alley along the entrances to Alibi + the obscure little theater across the way.

MY BF IS SOOO ROMANTIC (PART 2)

Umm these are the mutant strawberries Brad got me for Happy Frou Frou Day. They were on my desk this morning. Kevin was like your BF is making us (95% male work enviro) look bad! Heh!

MY BF IS SOOO ROMANTIC (PART 1)

So Brad knows I'm not a frou frou kind of girl and could care less about Halmark holidays, but to my surprise, I found a box of red roses on my desk on Valentine's Day w/ a card that reads...

"You say you don't care about all the foo foo stuff, but I have a hard time believing that.  These are just to let you know I'm thinking about you.  Love, Bunny"

I'm a sucker for brace-face!  x0x0x

KITCHEN DISASTER

So I get home from work and start cookin' up some good stuff for Brad + I.  I'm sautéing some potatoes and go to grab the garlic salt from the cupboard and next thing i know the whole kitchen cabinetry + microwave came tumbling down.  I just crouched into the cabinet cubby and waited until it was all over.  Brad watched the entire thing happen.  I ran around our bldg trying to get a hold of the condo association lady and apparently all my neighbors heard my little catastrophe in their respective dwellings.  Cleaning sucked big time.  Our place wreaked of vinegar.  Luckily, no one was hurt.  Albeit, I thought I had a concussion since I was deathly ill the next couple of days w/ a high fever and really bad nausea.  Ended up just being the flu.  Anyhow, got a hold of the landlord and all is well with the exception of we are currently sans microwave.  Oh well!  I swear up and down that I lead a crazy life w/ the most random shit occurring at the most inopportune times.  This is where I say "See!  I told you so!"  Bleh.
