Carefully dissecting open the sea urchin's mouth,

he locates it's teeth and tries to give it to me.
mhmm; yes, that's mah snailboy.10 :-)

Sugar filled
conscious adventures
that occur during reality.

to infinity
and beyond! :)

dreamy :)

So instead of studying for art history,
I'm thinking about all the times
I've crashed into a fence.

One involved a bike, hill, and a fence.
The other involved a snowy slope, lack of experience skiing, and a fence.

(A man was very impressed by how I managed
to ski through/under a fence and even shook my hand)

We put the pink blanket by the grassy banks
and attempted to read yet again.
The adventure was documented:

Snailboy finds a giant stick and plays with it.

"why won't it break!"

suddenly Donald and Daisy decide to show up (as well as Donald #2)
[some sort of love triangle is evident. Violent chasing & pecking occurs)

Daisy wants seeds and is not afraid of humans.
Snailboy looks rather startled.
But he is kind, and offers her many.

a "vignette" which resulted from malfunctioning lens.

decides to disrupt my nap

"I want my camera back!"
So I grab his leg and shake it in protest.

but am distracted by the fold of his jeans.

Then he comes up with a brilliant plan
that involves stealing bikes and painting one yellow.

O, with what freshness;
a celebration of life

"You are a joyful fairy. Jump, twirl, leap! More motion!
or just pretend you're happy"
"I am happy"

the wicked witch is back

and gone once more

"momentarily caught in the flux of living"

I was doodling(yes, I doodle in art history now..and sleep)
and my brain instantly heard that quote come out of her mouth,
and decided it liked it. I scribbled it down and went back to drawing.

I went on a giant walk today with Ellen's dog.

I felt so silly holding all this technology..but I had no choice but bring
my: cellular device, camera, and Ellen's ipod.

he went crazy in all the artificial lakes(there were 5)

fresh air!

cracks in mud

i love this

red growth!

green growth!

Then she texted me and said:
" my mom said that you walking jack was the best news she heard all day"
--

"so what do you want to do ellen?
" well I have ice cream, we can like, put stuff on it"

My mom has been cleaning out the garage,
and stumbled upon our old Kodak slide projector today.
(my dad bought it 20 years ago at a garage sale in Utah)
We brought it back to the living room,
opened the dusty box, and projected the slides on the wall.

A time capsule was unleashed upon us!

arches: Utahback when my dad traveled all around.

After I pushed this slide in,
there was a silence.
" umm, is that me?" I nervously asked because
I had never seen this picture in my life.
My parents laughed hysterically.
"What did you do to my hair?!"
They continued to laugh.

I guess my mom liked to experiment with haircuts.
My dad brought back a bunch of exotic fruit from Singapore,
even though it was illegal to bring back foreign specimens.

That didn't stop him! (it never does..)

I suppose he does make the best shadow puppets.

I had a nice weekend. :)

After two years, today was gonna the day.
There was much catching-up to do :)

Although the directions only had 2 steps,
we still managed to lose our way.
After deciding the place just didn't exist,
we made a few phone calls(hehe, thanks navigator)
..and finally found it.

Irvine Art Museum is located

on the first floor of an office building!

Unfortunately, it was the worst museum

either of us has ever stepped inside of.

But a hysterical obsessive hamster
made up for the bad museum visit.

We had a lock down drill today.
Mrs. Banaban ran frantically around the dark classroom,
crawled through the aisles,
and squeezed under the desk next to me.
She kept on giggling the entire time.

I should be doing fizics, but I dug around for old pictures instead.
(taken by either Leah or Michelle) :)

(I never noticed the pink thing in her hand till now!)

smelt of plastic and rubber

itchyness

chips, in the bathroom..!

vermin: ant & cricket

off with your head!

woosh

that gave me a good laugh. :-)
