Fakesgiving Picture Journal

As promised, here are some more photos of the Fakesgiving I had yesterday with my friends.











I unfortunately didn't get any good pics of David as Janeane Garofolo or Michael as Donatella Versace. He did turn into a topless mermaid later in the night though.

I'm sick and feel icky--congested, coughy and tired. Last night after everyone left from Fakesgiving I got a fever of 102.7 and became deliriously ill, made Peter go to the store to buy me medicine, and eventually passed out after I took a lukewarm shower to break my fever.

Today I felt a little better because I didn't have much of a fever and joined Michael and his family at Claim Jumper for Realsgiving. I had prime rib and it was delicious and I love Michael's mom because the way she talks, she makes everything sound like it's a really juicy secret.

After dinner, Michael and I went to see New Moon which was great.

lookbook.nu

I just started to really get into lookbook.nu recently.

Today, Michael and I did a few quick photoshoots for it, and here are some examples of the results. We were trying to go for ultra hipster bordering on douchebagginess hipsterness. I think we succeeded.

Last night Peatar and I took a walk because it was windy and dark and rainy. We bundled up and brought our cameras. Here are a few pictures of it:


Looking down on I-5 & downtown


The RiteAid on Broadway


The lightshow or whatever it is on the hill

We took a trip to the grocery store on our way back. When we got home I decided to make molasses crinkles ("The best cooky from 1930-1935!") and chocolate chip cookies with Heath bar crumbles in them. They were delicious. At probably 11pm or so, Peter, Garrett and I decided to bring some cookies to welcome our new neighbors. One neighbor, Maria, was surprised but friendly. The other new neighbors' lights were off, so we just knocked on the door of the next apartment which lights were on. Daryl, was gruff and slightly socially scary, but I think he was appreciative. All in all it was exceedingly awkward and fun and we got to know some of the people that live in our building.



This morning I got up it was way too f-ing bright. Blindingly bright. So I took some pictures to contrast with last night's dark walk pictures:

grey

today was my favorite color:

Cabbage Rorschach

Sometimes everyday things just really catch your eye. Tonight I was making a salad, cutting up this giant head of cabbage and I was completely mesmerized by it. I took some photos and began seeing different things in it, like when you stare at clouds and see different shapes.

Do you see anything going on in these cabbage pictures? If you click on the picture, it'll take you to my flickr page where I say what I see in it, but I don't want to write it here and sway your vision (;





Not enough cabbage for you? Check out my flickr for more.


And just for good measure, I'll include this picture I took earlier in the summer while tanning in the backyard. (:

fallen princesses

I'm a girl (duh) and of course I like fairytales and the story of Rapunzel is one of my favorites. This photographer, Dina Goldstein did a series of photos based on fairytale princesses with "realistic" outcomes instead of the "happily ever after" types we're accustomed to.

I'm not sure how seriously to take them, or how serious they were meant to be, but I like them and the Rapunzel one made me lol (yes, I am a terrible person). I really like the Sleeping Beauty one too, mainly because I love old people so much.
