10 Kittens T-Shirt

I previewed my 10 Kittens T-Shirt to the world this week. I've been eyeing it on Amazon since the Three Wolf Moon craze back in May. The size of the kittens took me by surprise. They're almost life size. I think they multiply when I'm not paying attention. Or at least switch places. I explained to Jaimie that I had to wear it under a high-waisted skirt the first time as to not offend anyone. It's a lot of kittens to take in at once. It might be too much of a shock. I wouldn't want to be responsible for anyone fainting. As far as I can tell, no one openly hated the shirt. I even received a couple compliments in class. Although, those could have been sarcastic--obviously out of envy. The only problem I foresee is that I might be liking it a little too much. Thinking about the next time I get to wear it makes me tingle with excitement.

A Passing Feeling

After a hearty discussion with Paul about lenses, I was inspired by the RVCA FW '09 Lookbook and Fashion Toast to play around with my 50mm lens that rarely gets play time. Rachel and a fashionably late Alex were kind enough to model for me. We hovered around Fairview Park until the sun disappeared into the skyline.

Cute Boys Make Me Nervous

I just received this e-mail from Jaimie:

I'm pretty sure your soul migrated into another person's body and created this blog.

The After Party

"Do you want to grab food before the show on Friday?"

"Sure, but I have to be somewhere beforehand, and I'm not really sure when it starts."

"Where are you going?"

"Jan's mother passed away. The service is at 2 PM, but I won't be attending that. I'm only going to the after party."

"The after party?"

"Yeah. Everyone is going back to Jan's house after the service. I suppose 'after party' isn't the most appropriate way to put it."

"I think it's called a wake."

"Really? I think wakes occur before the burial."

"Hmm, I don't know."

...The next day...

"I got it. It's called an 'afterlife party'."

"I hope that when I die, they throw me an afterlife party."

Watercolors

What do you get when you mix tri-color conditioning foam with Sigur Ros (specifically "Staralfur" played loud enough to drown out every other sound)?

AN EPIC CAR WASH!
