They will see us waving from such great heights,
'come down now,' they'll say
...
'come down now,' but we'll stay..

This year, I didn't buy my mom a plant for mother's day
(I used to always buy her one)
This year, I didn't see anything she would have liked at the stores...

so I pasteled some pictures and put them in a frame.

I don't know what exactly this is, but I like it.

So in chemistry, Katie told me that "filthy" in Spanish was "qo-chi-na"
I put together all the spanish words I know and formed:
"No me gusta qo-chi-na an-ho-litos"
(I don't like filthy little angels)
? eh? :)

haha. look at her climb.

from a few months ago

I should learn to manage time better.

shall i compare thee to a summer's day?

call it a ritual.

I sat in a 3d Muppet theatre last night.

It was quite entertaining to watch the penguins play their musical instruments.
And watch Miss Piggy in 3d singing while an annoying little bunny ran around.
Then there was all this water and fire and cartoon-y noises and bright flashing colors with vacuum cleaners sucking the screen away.
All kind of overwhelming too.


this ride is really scary..and made me nauseous

interesting stick candy

smooth coil pot in amber celadon!
except the pot inside is too big

hobby hopping

I like these dutch ship paintings.
They seem so peaceful and tranquil.

Peter and Polly
-inspired by a true story.
Long story short, I was on the computer in my room, I turned around, and a strange little girl is standing at my door with a tropical parakeet perched on her shoulder.
I didn't know why she was in my house, or how she even got in.
So I slowly turned back to my computer and kept on typing up my project.

Ceramics Adventures:
Hiroki made a nice little donkey on a bird and placed it on my toadstool house bank.
Everything looks so unsanitary!

This is how we spend our time.
We sure know how to make mr. bryant cranky.

me: I'm pressing flowers
my sister: you have a new hobby like..
me: every other day? yes i know.

raspberry sorbet pop

not disastrous brownie cake!

I just don't understand why I can't bake.

It was a 3-step recipe,
and yet my lemon bars still turned out looking like leprosy.

from a few years ago:

last day of spring break.

I don't think I've ever spent a day doing more nothing than today.

Well, now that I think about it, I think I have.

After sleeping for 10 hours,
I still didnt want to get up.
I read a couple hundred pages of my book
(return of the native? of course not)
That Zofia, so evil but clever...

The day consisted of reading and sleeping.
Finally at 3:00 pm, I decided to watch White Oleander.
But the mood of the movie was so depressing.
I stopped after the mother found out Astrid had been baptized
and had accepted Jesus Christ as her savior.
I couldn't watch any more of
Michelle Pfeiffer's blue veins throb and pulsate on her head,
so I turned it off.
So I read some 30 more chapters while eating this old frozen pizza
I found buried behind a bunch of ice covered "food".

The thought of starting the massive load of homework makes my stomach hurt.
So I won't, for now.
: ) ?ugh.

this post feels kid- ish.

Condors are pretty tidy.
After eating, they clean their heads and necks by rubbing them on grass, rocks, or branches.
How interesting. Humans should evolve to do this too.

yesterday was just a series of bizzare events.
and what kind of silly "child" doesn't wear a seat belt?

After school, frankenstien and I met up at target,
and bought some tea, cereal,
and a giant chunk of dark chocolate.
We ran to her car and devoured it all
while listening to her brother's interesting mix cds.

We had some sandwiches at Panera
and devoured a giant slice of chocolate brownie cake with spinkles
*slobbers*

ps: studying for chemistry that one night paid off!

Oh yes, and and I won some sort of honorable mention for this art contest!
There, that was yesterday, only missing a few other weird happenings...

no wonder it came out all off centered. ;P

After popping some pills(fish oil capsules),
Ellen and I had ourselves a chemistry party until 11:00 pm.
This party consisted of wails of confusion about gas laws
(PV=nRT rings in my head and probably will forever and ever),
lots of breaks, and almost giving up.

But just like the little kangaroo who tripped and fell into the mud, and anything else in the world..
if you fell down yesterday, stand up today.

back to belle epoque

The feeling of freedom and wandering around new places.
I miss that.

graveyard connected to the beach

iao valley

where the strange purple crabs thrive

sunsets

ocean breathes salty
-modest mouse.

Bask in the soft glow of it.
whee!

" we'll cast some light and you'll be alright for now"

from a while back...today was kind of nice.

I went to the science library to work on homework, but it was so crowded.
The 5th floor was crowded.
The 3rd floor was even more crowded.
So I settled for the first floor.
There was this nice little secluded desk by a huge window,
so I sat there and worked on math, then chemistry, then read Return of the Native.
But 4 hours later, it started to rain so i thought
"Oh no! Nibbler's still outside"
So i rushed back to my car,
only to realize I kind of wanted Cha,
so I ran in there and got a drink,
then I realized we needed groceries,
so I ran into Trader Joe's and got some.
I write too much useless-ness.
but orangutan might enjoy reading this.

ellen's quote written randomly somewhere in society

hazy sunday mornings

In last night's dream,
I was riding a very tall horse in a strange exotic town,
when Paul Revere gallops by.
So hi say, " Hi, Paul Revere!"

Now that I think about it,
it reminds me of the time Randy Jackson
(from American Idol)walks by at LAX,
so i said, "Hi Randy!"

well, I'm off to the library to do homework..

I had an entire dream about garlic bread and licorice in chemistry.

Last night, Ellen and I met at the Bluffs and had ourselves some nice pasta at pastabravo.
Then I went home, made her an ice cream cone, and went to her house.
Becoming Jane was a sad movie.
Why would Jane do such a thing.
Sometimes, it's silly to be too unselfish...

Then around 11, I walked home in complete darkness,
only to realize I didn't have my key,
so I went back to her house and we watched Gilmore Girls.

I found a flower dress in my mom's closet.
It's my "homework out-fit"

the pearl is bocked.

in euro, we watched a video about Stalin.
it showed footage of little Russian children giving Stalin flowers
and hidden in the huge crowd was
General Mao, sitting behind him,
happily smiling and enjoying the little communist ceremony.
I looked at his face
and felt a bit weird
because just a few summers ago,
I saw his dead body in a glass case!

"why did the orange lose his job?"
-because he couldn't concentrate!

UOspring!
