makes you go hmmm
I love to read fashion blogs. They are perfect for avoiding being productive and a great resource for copying others originality but sometimes I see things I hope no one copies. For example, these fringy glasses Beyonce (I think) is sporting. Where is her seeing eye dog? She will definitely need one after the potential collisions or scratches to her retina in near the future.
Project Runway
* Still cant use my apostrophes or quotes key!*
I love Project Runway, whenever its on I get so mesmerized. The fabrics from Mood, the spontaneous creativity, the art. I will be so sad when it moves to Lifetime and I no longer remember when to watch every episode and its rerun.
Project Runway, I will miss you!
new year, new layout?
I am looking for a new layout for this blog. I really love what I have but I hate, hate, hate how the vines cut off my words. Im looking for suggestions, so if you have them send them over.
Also, if you know how to fix the apostrophe/quote key on a MacBook, please let me know!
vehicular madness
So last night I went to pick up one of my favorite people at the airport. Her car died in the long-term parking garage and we were more than ready to jump it if needed. A lot of tutorial videos were watched before leaving my house and I had a hand full of post-its with tips and directions written in sharpie. Just in case we meet some creepers in the parking garage, I forced my brother to come with. He was not happy, I offered to buy him beer the next day.
On the way, the gross gas station near me was closed and because of this my brother and I witnessed the worst car crash we have ever seen. For whatever reason, this driver couldnt figure out how to get on the highway and drove through a yard and crashed in to a tree! We caught the end of it when he stumbled out of his totaled car and ran around to pull a passenger out by the arms, body limp and bleeding!
It was absolutely insane and unfortunately we were running late for our next adventure so I called the police. There wouldnt have been a whole lot we could do in this situation. The driver had already pulled the victim out of the car... a major no-no and it was unclear if he was drunk but lets be honest.. he totally had to have been and I get super nervous around erratic drunks.
So we saw the cops come rushing over and we were on our way to airport. Then we got lost, ran out of gas, circled around the airport and found my friend (she managed to start her car) pulled over on the worst exit you could ever get stuck on. Realizing this was no longer a battery problem and a major fight with the brother later (the case of beer is no officially off the table).. the tow truck came and we gave her a ride home.
On the way we saw another awful car crash. This time it looked like a small car hit a garbage truck but the garbage truck was not around. 6 cops surrounded the small car.. where is the local fox investigation team when you need them?
All in all, we made it home in one piece before 2 a.m.
Throwing It Out There
I am a huge believer in two over-done concepts
1. Everything Happens For A Reason
2. Take A Chance, You Never Know Where It Will Lead
Gross right? Those are made for embroidered towels, welcome mats and snow globes.
However, I think theres something to them and therefore I am going to post my resume. Not because Im desperate for a stable job and will do almost anything to pop up on Google.... okay that is exactly why Im doing it. I like to think of it as ... charming?
I have a lot of skills and the passion/energy to put them to great use. No, I am not interested in Sex Work. However, if you are and you need an ambitious p.r. person... just kidding!
