i'm hungry, i'm tired and i can't fall asleep. yep. hopefully we'll see some sort of results soon...crossing my fingers. my sister made some cupcakes that look like monkeys. funny, funny. 

now cry:



j/k j/k

before your face falls off

above Los Angeles, from Chinatown.

i dont understand what the problem is. i like my job. i heart LA. i'm pretty content but somehow something is not right. i dont know...maybe this is just my sweat pants moment. maybe i just need a hair cut. =(

below the metro...

downtown, near my job....


so SG came to visit and we found an empty 40 oz in the train (heading downtown) . surprise, surprise.


and of course we manage to start some moral dilemma about love and marriage and what not. the next day at Los Feliz:


the view from school, which i heart.


which then i have to ask: what the hell is wrong with my film? was it melting or what? well, at least i found a replacement for agfa...tear, tear, tear. NOT! kids are crazy.

"Make Yours Like Mine"

tomorrow we will be like Pollock and paint with Kool-Aid, or at least the imitation kind cuz 7/$1.00 sounds better than 24¢ a pack....here is some Pollock:



then while trying to find better quality footage Pollock I found this guy, nice control of drip.

me like new Kanye Video, me like colors

but no amount of colors is gonna make the sad gray cloud go away. i am such a jerk.

*cloud brooch by Brooke Bennett. I don't know her but buy her stuff the economy needs help.

new year's resolutions so far: alright

my camera is still broken. its raining. i'm still resentful, but with a month under my belt. i been sewing alot with the kids. so much they already went through 13lbs of synthetic stuffing (you know the stuff you put inside dolls so they can be fluffy). so a week ago i went downtown and bought another bag. then i thought i wanted to make a heart made out of felt but it turns out someone already did:


so maybe i'll just buy these, they are from this website--->here. but my heart is going to be different. my co-worker is having an art show in the middle of the month. i'm going to be in it...you should come. not! j/k... and i'm prohibited from invited anyone up North so you missed out.                   

and my other co-worker gave me a copy of Santigold. man, i'm so behind on my pop culture...lol. i like this video it has everything i like: shades of gray, a horse, gold, a good haircut, violence, artsy farsty crap.

and I, also hope it will be worth what I give up. now to being somehow productive. 

I'm Not a Journalist I Just Crush Alot

So this guy, in the middle, was paid $600 dollars a week to dissolve dead people in acid. Over the course of ten years he dissolved 300 bodies. His name is Santiago Meza López, aka "El Pozolero del Teo", this is pozole at the bottom. Enough said.

And who might have ordered all these bodies to be disposed of you might ask? a narcotraficante...duh! read an actual article about this here and here. Crazy shit.

*images used without permission from here and here. if i knew how to make pozole i totally would have made it just to take a picture of it...so sorry Taco Rosa.

Florence Ave: Hit & Run

a 4 year old was killed here, in a hit and run about a week ago. there were helicopters everywhere that day. watching the news i found out the driver had parked his truck on crockett street(where the car is at) and left the scene walking...you can still see a huge stain on the road pointing to the teddy bears :(
