Wet dog boots are not sexy

Taken 30 Oct ‘07, 5.33pm EDT PST.


Can we guess the mistake in this picture? The colder it gets, the more of these fuzzy abominations pop up… And then it snows. Whoever designed fuzzy boots never thought that dumb girls in buffalo would actually wear them in snow, slush, and even rain.

Halloween’s Over for the grownups

i don’t know if I’ll ever be able to experience that pure juvenile experience of dressing up and knocking up on folks’ doors, mischievously chanting “trick or treat” and holding my bag for impending cavity catalysts.

A good southern baptist boy as a kid we had “harvest festivals,” which were a mimic trap for conservative families to escape their children from a national joy. Sure, i bobbed for apples, came home with a sack of sweets, and got to dress up, but I was either David from the Bible, or some impotent pop culture figure sanitized for religious consumption.

Now that I’m grown, Halloween is the earliest Saturday and we still dress up, not to scare but to impress our friends and a panel of bar owners. A trick means we got laid, and a treat is we woke up in our own beds.

Sunday we shower and wash the glitter out of our hair, read the text messages from those whose fates weren’t so fortunate as ours ( a friend of mine SMS SOS’d after finding himself cracked out and lost on Main street after leaving his friend’s place where he vomited on 65% of the dwelling), and relate the evenings triumph’s and dissapointments.

We pass the rest of the days till the the real Halloween comes and goes, tired and jaded from our preemptive strike into debauchery that we scoff at others for enjoying a history unaffected by our previous actions.

i guess I really am kinda jaded. I just want some wax teeth and a few crushed butterfingers bars, is that too much to ask?

Dunnymation - Homestar Pwnage

October 24th, 2007 | 1 Comment | Posted in Ooh! Pretty!

Verizon cut out our internet at the office last night, but ok. I made lemon sorbet out of lemons, and composed a stop motion clip featuring my Dunny Army.

This is my first stopmotion video ever, and I know I made a few mistakes, but it was fun. I got all the little toys (minus the bastard HomeStar Runner Strongbad, thats Chris’) from Beth and Mark at Hero Design Studio on Allen. You gotta check out all the unique vinyl toys and indie band posters they have.
