When life gives you lemons

Megan's mom had told her that she was not adorable. So, here we have Megan; looking adorable.

We went to the Oakland Tavern; for a change of scenery. The nice thing about the Oakland Tavern is; while they do NOT know your name, they ARE always glad you came.

They gave us these lemons, claiming that; unlike other lemons, these ones were sweet.

I guess it all depends on your idea of "sweet".

Megan wanted to learn how to be manly; so I let her wear my cock.

Me and Steve tried to give her lessons on how to be more manly.

We stoped when I made her cry.

I guess thats what happens when you take lessons on being tough from the two guys that most of Roseburg thinks are gay.

Not about indie-pop (mostly)

So, I've been listening to a lot of indie-pop recently, but the last thing anyone needs is another blog about indie-pop, thus here are some things you should check out that are NOT indie-pop. I don't know what it is about being depressed and feeling the need to listen to excessive amounts of Regina Spektor.

Anyway:

PRE - Epic Fits: I didn't realize that the Skin Graft label even existed anymore. This would be a good album for irritating your roommate/cubical-mate at 2 in the morning/8 in the morning, respectively. I think this album has inspired me to have a no-wave dance party once spring finally gets here.

Tujiko Noriko: Maybe this is getting closer to indie-pop, however, she is on the Mego record label and, the wise and powerful, wikipedia described her as a "Japanese avant-pop-experimental-musician". Tujiko Noriko, probably, wont irritate your roommate, depending on how sensitive your roommate is. Hopefully, she will elicit spontaneous joy and dancing in you and your roommate. Maybe I could have an electro-avant-pop dance party in the spring as well.

Lykke Li: Ok, Lykke Li IS indie-pop, but, if you haven't heard her yet; you probably should. I think all the kids are going to be blasting her from their boom-boxes this summer, during their; indie-pop dance parties. If nothing else, you should check out her myspace picture, she's totally cute, maybe I will ask her to come to one of the before mentioned dance parties.

If you would like me to make you a mix-tape; I will accept trades in the form of baked goods, especially cup cakes.

The haircut makes the man

The awsomecam is an amazing enigma. It's settings are few and mysterious. I will note that none of it's features are PixelVision-esque. (I looked for some website that would provide examples of the PXL-2000 in action, and ultimately decided to link to Sadie Benning's filmography. I had a feeling you wanted more avant-garde film in your life.)

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I got a job.

I am the new Manager of Arts in Education at the Umpqua Valley Arts Association here in Roseburg Oregon.

I figured since I will, soon, not be in abject poverty; I should get a haircut.

I had great difficulty getting her to actually cut my hair

Look it's a menorah. I wonder if somebody bought it for a school play.

Sadly, the menorah is surprising and a giant painting of a panther is not.

Dinosaur village

Currently, we are displaying a show of kids art. One of the pieces is a diorama of a dinosaur scene. Someone had set up the diorama next to the window, I pointed out that the dinosaurs were made out of modeling clay which never dries and thus, should not be set someplace where it will get too warm and fall apart (I used to work in an art supply store).

My warning was half heeded. The diorama was moved away from the window, and into a glass case under a spot light, one might say; into a greenhouse.

This is a dinosaur, sans head.

Safer, if not smarter

I was feeling down and was thinking about walking in traffic.

So, I got this shirt as a prophylactic measure.

The chicken bins are still empty at the farm supply.
I would have gotten this one but I don't think they make eggs.

It's quite warm enough, but I thought it was about time to start the barbecue season.

Fussing and feuding

While I was working today; this sculpture fell on me.

I couldn't take it anymore, so I cleaned out my savings account and bought a bed.

I guess I never realized how small the futon was.

My new bed fills up 90% of my bedroom.

These are VISTA Steve's brothers. They had only been in Roseburg for a few hours, but they were already sick of it.

We ended up at the Sugar Pine.

This is a picture of one of the worlds worst heavy metal bands.

They did, however, have a drape with skulls on it.

Steve's brothers started a fight at the dart board.

As we were leaving; Gweneth and Lupita showed up!

Reach out in the darkness

This is what crippling depression looks like.

I think someone bumped the side of my futuristic station wagon.

See! Right there.

Sucks to be me.

I thought maybe if I took my futon off it's frame; it would be less painful.

I was incorect.

This is a mutant croissant.

Did I mention that it sucks to be me.

So Sad

This is a chile relleno from the cute new Mexican restaurant downtown. Keeping all those things in mind; they will most likely be out of business in a month or so.

Those crazy kids.

I went to sears to look for a new mattress, not that I would have been able to afford one. Sears didn't have any mattresses anyway. So, I decided I needed some new jeans. They didn't have my size in the color I wanted.

This was the color I did want. I think these ones just looked slightly darker.

This is my hand bleeding. Somehow every time I go to a department store I end up injureing myself...

I thought that looking at festive kitchenware might make me less sad. Here are some festive plates. One might even say that it was a fiesta of plates. That made me feel slightly better.

Until I came to theese beds. Actually they were just selling bedding. I sat down on the bed and it felt so good, not like my stupid futon from hell. I got very sad and wanted to go to take a nap. Then a sales person asked if I needed help, at which point I ran away.

Dropping F-bombs

Is this supposed to be "finicky" or F*** Nicky? I prefer to think the later.

This food actually looked less appealing in real life.
