Heading to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada this weekend for a puppet building workshop [learning new skills]. I will have some time to eat and veg Saturday and Sunday night - likely enough time to just eat and watch a movie or something as workshop ends at 5pm each night. However, if there is something I should try to see while in town in those early ( Read more... )

I was preparing to frost 24 chocolate raspberry [crack] cupcakes and the mail carrier arrived yesterday with a package from the UK!! With 2 hours before I was to leave for the party, my jacket was finally here!! It was a warm, spring day and I was at odds with my decision to wear these skinny black slacks that hugged my legs [too hot] when I ( Read more... )

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the United States Postal Service customs for protecting these United States from my brand new jacket from the UK. It was shipped on the 8th, arrived in NY on the 9th and held up in customs since. I live a mere 60 miles from NYC and, over a week later, have still not received my new jacket that I was going to wear to a party ( Read more... )

If you feel comfortable passing along this information, please do. I'm in the beginning stages of fund-raising for my puppet company Up In Arms. As some of you may know, it's been an exciting month teaching my first puppet-making workshop at the Interactive Museum in Middletown, NY. It's given me a huge creative boost and I look forward to ( Read more... )

One of my co-workers was listening to The Ting Tings "That's Not My Name" and it's one groovy ass song. I listened to previews of their album and downloaded it immediately. It's equal parts Bow Wow Wow, Blondie and Tom Tom Club. Preview the video on Youtube and then know you want more.... Leave a comment

It's been 5 days since andywarholswig has posted. Weird how you notice someone's absence. misinsatiable has been CRAZY absent too. Hello? Come back. Because of Michael Jackson night, I had to watch idol last night and was craving a commentary by andywarholswig. Really - they are seriously lacking in personality this year. I liked maybe 3 or 4 of them and still - meh. Who cares? I'm not ( Read more... )

Just documenting for shits and giggles. After having a bitch of a time with job stress last year, I got into this head space where I couldn't let the petty wenches get me down anymore and secretly BEG the universe that they fire me. That's not to say I act up or piss anyone off - quite the contrary. I'm a happy co-worker and a good team player so, ( Read more... )

First day I'm feeling slightly human again. The fever broke and was only 99 this morning. Had been 100+ for 3 days. LOVING the new Pop Remixed - erasure remix album. Always loved me some remixes. It's erasure heaven today :)

Nothing is better on a sore throat than a nice hot cup of tea and natural fruit sorbet. My mom had been sick for over a week with flu symptoms and bronchitis and I felt like I had been fending something off for weeks. Enter Daniel this past weekend and when my throat started to get sore on Monday, I instantly thought it was sexual activity that ( Read more... )

Coraline was wonderful. I thought it was a great mix of entertainment and Neil Gaiman darkness. I admit, I didn't do much research on the film beyond knowing Gaiman wrote the original so, it was extra special to find out Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders were voicing two of the characters. One local theater was screening it in 3D and I was unaware ( Read more... )
