Feast Your Eyes

When it Rains in Pours

Saturday morning is the best. Started with a little coffee and prank calling from bed. That was fun.

Then Bagel on Damen and a long--long walk.

Following the jaunt across town, a lot of popcorn and some vampire sex: Twilight. Haha. It was so funny. Zelma, band mate/new friend, and I were seized with fits of giggles. I think that we might have been offending people.

TBD

The other night we took some shots of the new band. I think that we are hoping that if we take pictures and talk about the band enough then it will really happen…  Fingers Crossed.

Thrift ing

Ya'll I went to the thrift store Yesterday and I found this amazing piece. I will let the pictures show you the magic: 

Lesson Learned

Over the summer I decided that I wanted to have a sweet cartilage piercing on my left ear. I was up late one night with some friends and I decided that I was going to pierce it right then and there. This was not that crazy of an idea, I had done this before with great results. The tools were gathered: needle, alcohol (for sterilizing the needle), an apple, ice, and an earring. I don't really know how to pierce an ear, but I was very inspired by a scene in the Parent Trap where they pierce their own ears at camp. 

The piercing went fine, great really. It didn't hurt at all, and the dudes that I was with were all impressed by my pain tolerance. But it hurts now, a lot. Like so much that I cannot sleep on that side of my head. The real problem here is that it looks really cool. I love having my cartilage pierced, but hurts. They say that beauty is painful, but how far should I take that. I would say that running (which I do for beauty) hurts as much as this hurts, but you wouldn't tell me to stop running. The title of this piece is called Lesson Learned, but I'm not sure that I have actually learned a lesson. I think that this is less of a lesson and more of the first steps on a journey towards figuring out how much I will sacrifice for beauty: personal comfort, a lot of money, etc.

The Apartment

I have a sweet app on my iPhone that takes panoramic photos.

Panorama makes everything looks so cool.

Philadelphia

My sister is headed to Philly today. She will be there for the weekend. I think that I am going to miss her. But I will also have lots of time to update the blog, read, craft, and sleep! I think that I might be getting sick and I am trying to combat that with a spike in fluid consumption.

Moriah just did some amazing podcasting and you should check it out at her blog: http://moriahsmidwest.com/

(I do a little musical number around minute fourteen)

Well, I need to go to work soon, but I have lots of pictures and stories that I will be posting in the next few days.
