Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!

Finished the press release last night and I'm quite pleased with it. It was like pulling teeth and I wish I had finished sooner, but I am quite pleased with it anyhow.

Had a nice Saturday evening though I did spend it working on the aforementioned press release. I was in good company though. I was also fortunate enough to have good help online with RAW and EJW.

This morning, I was up too early and tried to sleep more though it wasn't good sleep. I discovered, however, I am completely enamored with a particularly sweet puppy. This lil pup has completely stolen my heart, yo.

I went to the baseball game with Elaine which turned out to be an awesome game. My throat is totally hoarse from screaming and cheering. Astros beat the Red Sox today and won this weekend's series. We also made new friends with the guys from Pasadena sitting next to us. They're our new BFFs and are totally hilarious. I was commenting on how the Astros need better looking members and those guys then began discussing who were the better looking Astros and then it was league wide and then it spread to the entire sporting world. Hilarious. To top it all off, we made it back to the car without getting rained on.

Now for a shower. I think my soul hurts a little.

Drawing Rabbit.

Soooooo, I wanna do a show called "Drawing Rabbit" like Matthew Barney's "Drawing Restraint." Seriously. I have no idea what that will entail, I mean, besides bunnies, glitter, and happiness... I'm listening to a band called "Frightened Rabbit" right now. It's sorta nice. So perhaps for this show part of it will be audio-based and will feature songs where the word "body" is replaced with the word "bunny."

Handle Me With Care.

Been beat up and battered round
Been sent up, and I’ve been shot down
You’re the best thing that I’ve ever found
Handle me with care

Reputations changeable
Situations tolerable
Baby, you’re adorable
Handle me with care

(chorus)
I’m so tired of being lonely
I still have some love to give
Won't you show me that you really care

(bridge)
Everybunny’s got somebunny to lean on
Put your bunny next to mine, and dream on

I’ve been fobbed off, and I’ve been fooled
I’ve been robbed and ridiculed
In day care centers and night schools
Handle me with care

Been stuck in airports, terrorized
Sent to meetings, hypnotized
Overexposed, commercialized
Hand me with care

(chorus)

(bridge)

I’ve been uptight and made a mess
But Ill clean it up myself, I guess
Oh, the sweet smell of success
Handle me with care


Rock Your Bunny

Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your bunny
Please stay
Dance with me
You don't have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you
Till the break of day
Dance with me
Got time, but I don't mind

Just wanna rock you girl
I'll have whatever you have
Come on, just give it up girl
See I've been watching you
I like the way you move
So go ahead, girl, just do
That ass shaking thing you do

So you grab your girls
And you grab a couple more
And you all come meet me
In the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it's smelling right
So you blast to the left and you sail to the right

Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your bunny
Please stay
Dance with me
You don't have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you
Till the break of day
Dance with me

I don't mean no harm
Just wanna rock you girl
Make a move, but be calm
Let's go, let's give it up girl
See it appears to me
You like the way I move
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
Pull you close and share my groove

So you grab your girls
And you grab a couple more
And you all come meet me
In the middle of the floor
Said the air is thick, it's smelling right
So you blast to the left and you sail to the right

Don't be so quick to walk away
Dance with me
I wanna rock your bunny
Please stay
Dance with me
You don't have to admit you wanna play
Dance with me
Just let me rock you
Till the break of day
Dance with me

Talk to me boy
No disrespect, I don't mean no harm
Talk to me boy
I can't wait to have you in my arms
Talk to me boy
Hurry up cause you're taking too long
Talk to me boy
Better have you naked by the end of this song

So what did you come for
I came to dance with you
And you know that you don't want to hit the floor
I came to romance with you
You're searching for love forever more
It's time to take a chance
If love is here on the floor, girl

Hey
Dance with me
Yea
Come on baby

Don't be so quick to walk away
(Don't walk away)
(Come on and)
Dance with me
I wanna rock your bunny
(Let me rock your bunny)
Please stay
(Come on and)
Dance with me
You don't have to admit you wanna play
(You don't have to admit you wanna play, just) Dance with me
Just let me rock you
(Do do do do)
Till the break of day
(Come on and)
Dance with me

Talk to me boy
No disrespect, I don't mean no harm
Talk to me boy
But I can't wait to have you in my arms
Talk to me boy
Hurry up cause you're taking too long
Talk to me boy
Better have you naked by the end of this song

Don't be so quick to walk away
(Just think of me and you)
Don't be so quick to walk away
(We could do something)
Don't be so quick to walk away
(I like the way you look right now)
Don't be so quick to walk away
(Come over here baby)

Are you feeling me?
Let's do something
Let's make a bet
Cause I, gotta have you naked by the end of this song


Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybunny Dance Now)

Everybunny Dance now ...
Everybunny Dance now ...
Give me the music
Give me the music
Everybunny Dance now ...
Everybunny Dance now ...
Yeah ... Yeah ... Yeah
Everybunny Dance now ...
Yeah ... Yeah ... Yeah
Everybunny Dance now ...

[rap by Freedom Williams]

Here is the doe, back with the bass
The jam is live in effect and I don't waste time
Or the mike if it don't rhyme
Jump to the rhythm jump jump to the rhythm jump
And I'm here to provide
Peace and lyrics to make your shake your pants
Take a chance, come on and dance
Guys grab a girl, don't wait, make a whirl
It's your world and I'm just a swirl
Trying to get a nut to move your butt
To the dance floor, so yo what's up
Hands in the air, Come on say yeah,
everybunny over here everybunny over there
the crowd is live and I feel this groove
Party people in the house
Move ... (Let your mind)
Move ... (Put me online)
(Chorus)
Come on let's sweat, baby
Let the music take control
Let the rhythm move you
Sweat, sweat
Let the music take control
Let the rhythm move you
Everybunny dance now ...
Da da da da
da da da da
da da da da, da da da
da da da da, da da da
la da da da
la da da da
dum da dum da dum
everybunny dance now
[rap by freedom williams]
Pause take a breath go for yours
On my command now hit the dance floors
I'm gonna make you sweat till you bleed
Is that ... enough, indeed
I pay the price, control the dice
I'm more precise, to a point I'm nice
The music takes control, your heart and soul
Oh, your bunny is free and a whole
Dance till you can't dance
Till you can't dance no more
Get on the floor and get warm
Then come back and upside down
Easy now, let me see ya
Move ... (Let your mind)
Move ... (Put me online)
The music is my life ...
everybunny dance now ...
everybunny dance now ...
everybunny dance now ...
everybunny ...
(Repeat Chorus)

Ehn! Ehn!! WAKE!! UP!! EHN! ...fine.

In love with these gals as well!


Let me make this note that all of tonight's links are courtesy of Apartment Therapy. They featured this gal's apartment and links to her blog and Etsy stuff. Very awesome stuff on her blog. (The picture above is linked to her page.)

THIS, however, is all kinds of amazing from A to Z. Seriously. Holy shit. I am completely in love with these and I covets them, I do. And not just the bunny ones. There are raccoons and foxes and llamas and an angry woodchuck!

Holy shit...these cakes are AMAZING!

Combining art and design with all things yummy, Kate Sullivan of LovinSullivanCakes produces these piles o' happiness. ...and by "happiness" I mean "SUGAR."









Ugh! Someone! Quick, get married! Hire this woman!! I might be in love... I know you can have an art crush, but can you have a pastry crush??

Just cos it's a party it doesn't mean I have to have fun.

Not getting the entire message...

I should be sleeping BUT instead, I've found my new Sunday band: A Weather. I am completely in love with them. They remind me a lot of Iron & Wine only...I dunno...prettier??

And on a completely unrelated note, though it does relate to my not sleeping, in lieu of catching some Zzz's I'm sorting through my stuff, of which I have more than any one girl ought to. This morning I was cleaning out old text messages when I came across one from February. I hadn't read the entire message. There was the one part and then there was this WHOLE OTHER part that, thinking on it this very moment, might explain some extra weirdness on the part of the author of this text message. Flash forward to...oooh, just a while ago, I'm moving some things around and for grins, I open my developing tank. Inside is a note from four years ago. It's so sad.

Four more hours and I'll be getting ready to help Bradford downtown, then it's a doctor's appointment at 9:30am, work at 11:00am, deliver work to Diverse Works at some point, home, and then some hanging of the out with a very sweet boy.

Hmmm...

So I don't watch many music videos anymore cos...you know, I'm all old and shit, but I was reading these quotes by musicians and Santogold came up and was all, "blah, blah, it's stupid that --" Okay, lemme actually look this thing up...

"It's totally racist. Everyone is just so shocked that I don't like R&B. It's stupid. It's pissing me off."--Santogold

Anyhoooo, that quote was at the beginning of this page with this video down below and as I watched the video it started to look a whole lot like Holy Mountain. And I think it might have referenced the sequence that takes place after his last disciple gets his testicles (yeah...testicles) lopped off. It's when he's got all of his of disciple/soldier/eunuchs and there are crowds of people protesting. It's at the same time completely horrific and hilarious.

mildly creeped out, but still drunk on power...

i totally got hit on by the security guard across the street from me. as i walked back home from dinner with e. he stopped me to introduce himself. he extended his hand and i shook it reluctantly. i was hoping i could get away with not giving him my name like i manage to with the flower guy in the heights, but no such luck. granted, i could have just not responded, but i figured 1.) that's totally not polite and 2.) they might potentially help me out in a pinch when there are crackheads, drunks, or other miscellaneous vagrants about. anyhoo, our handshake was quickly followed with, "i'm single, do you live alone? are you single?" now, had this been gaspard ulliel saying this to me i'd be highly disappointed and utterly turned off. however, this was the blue moon security guard who knows exactly where i live and can monitor my comings and goings. i told him that yes, i do live alone, and lied and said that i do have a boyfriend and what i really meant to say was, "i live with a giant rabbit and she'll gnaw your testicles off if you don't leave me alone..." is this true? maybe not so much. as i walked i away i heard him trailing off saying, "i'm siiingle..."

e. says i should take this as a compliment.... flattering? maybe. or creepy? hells yes.

hmmmm...and how long until coupledom? a while, no? there's a question on this Dating Persona Test that asks about coupledom and how many dates it takes... i think it's something like, "are you a couple after five successful dates?" and i'm pretty certain i always answer no. five dates do not a couple make.

t.s. is the shit, yo.

had a brief but meaningful discussion today with stanley and am feeling loads better. oh, and also loads worse at the same time. however, it's mostly better. gotta stop being a victim of the past.

Bayesian Statistics

For serious, you cannot apply Bayesian statistics to your personal life! Does this stop me?! ...not so much. Am I trying to not? Uhhh, yeah! And on a completely unrelated note, ManBabies.com is hella weird. I'm totally disturbed by this.

Yeah, so going to bed feeling vaguely uneasy can lead to waking up feeling pretty flighty. Go fig! Or maybe it was the addition of three cups of coffee that did it???

Flashdance! Okay...really, it's, "Hullloooo, FLASHBACK?!"

Seriously, flashback to 1998.

So Mom and Dad came to visit. I lurve my parents. They're awesome. Had breakfast at the Wink. Joanie was our waitress and hooray for that. Also, hooray for not gorging myself. I managed to leave the Wink not wanting to shoot myself for overindulging on the best hash browns ever... Wooooo...
Then we headed off to the Asian market where I felt hella tall. I got two super adorable dinner plates that are pink and white wiff bunnies all over. YAAAAY!!! Then we stopped off at some other places. I got some St. John's Wort which has helped considerably. After the Hong Kong Market I was having some serious anxiety issues....more like social anxiety issues and really more like, I really just don't like a buncha people all up on me. Makes me a lil GRRRR...
So while the folks and I were out, we were listening to Sirius and we had been listening to Left of Center, but then they started playing some serious hipster crap which I couldn't handle and so I just channel surfed until I landed on some Pennywise and then they played some old Social D. Talk about flashbacks, it was like I was 18 again. Which is weird considering recent events. Ish.

Now I'm home. The folks and I re-created some memories which makes me want to do some research. In the meantime, I'll be getting dressed soon. I'm off to Discovery Green...cos, you know, I don't have a gajillion other things to do...
