L.E.S.

I have to do a project on it, and instead of going to important anarchist areas like I was supposed to, I went into an old-timey candy shop. Typical.

No Post

Yesterday was...WOOOO...a little too crazy to handle. At least in the night. I got back at about 5 am, and had to ride the subway with Jordan and a bunch of people (I didn't know them, but apparently they wanted to steal our shoes? Or were at least talking about stealing our shoes).
Today was not much better, as I have to write a 6 page paper and I only have 2 so far. It's going to be a long night of procrastinating.

Links

I don't really know what to post today, so I'll just dump some of my favorite links here:

-Bellen!: Illustrator Box Brown's really cute webcomic about Ben and Ellen
-My Carboard Life: Yet another really cute webcomic. And she's British!
-The Backseat Kiss: A really badass website with really badass stuff...that is also cute. And awesome.
-Natalie Dee: America's Favorite Cracker. Hilarious. And updated daily. Also check out Superpoop and Married to the Sea.
-Punks Git Cut!: Jay Howell's blog. He's just real cool that's all.
-Alexis Mackenzie: AMAZING and prolific artist. She works in collage and is probably my favorite contemporary artist. UGH SO GOOD.
-Orisinal: Morning Sunshine! Cutest games you have ever/will ever play
-I know I love Kanye: Kayne loves soup, and sometimes the feeling is mutual. Tess's blog about soup, Kanye, and hopefully Scotland that she just started.
-Amorpous Amor: Sue Kim's blog. Awesome friend. Awesome artist.

Lab

I'm in my lab class right now, and seeing as we don't do anything in this class (really, one class they gave us a two hour break, another class we slept the whole time, last class we went on group field trips and my group ended up going grocey shopping), and seeing as I just found out how to use the WiFi at school, I'm blogging! And skyping with Tess at the same time!

We did make a neat video though, which you can watch here
While we were making it we did a scene in Times Square, and we were so miserable at the end of the nasty rainy day with all the tourists, that we decided to get cupcakes at this place on 18th St. called Cupcake Cafe. The frosting on the cupcakes is much less sugary and grainy than the ones at say, Crumbs Bakery or Sugar Sweet Sunshine, though those places are equally amazing.

WHAT THE FOCK!

The gallery in Milwaukee that my dad shows at (gallery 218) was nominated by the local paper, the Shepherd Express, as one of the best galleries in Milwaukee. Because Art Kumbalek is a weekly contributor to the Shepherd Express, and also sometimes appears in those annual "Best of Milwaukee" issues, he was at the event held at the gallery.

Luckily, my mom spotted Art wandering around or something, and snagged him for a photo. I'm insanely jealous!

I'm sure anyone who reads the Shepherd as religiously as I do (or did back in Milwaukee) understands why I love this man so much. In short: he's hilarious.

Paper Dolls

So for fusion this year I submitted my application as a paper doll. The people who were reviewing it were apparently unable to realize they had to actually cut out the clothes, but that's okay, because now you can! (Note: she is topless, yes. Be a little mature about it...)

The different dolls are:
-Russian doll
-Barbie doll
-Raggedy Ann doll
-Porcelain doll

I also had a creepy goth kind of doll, but it wouldn't fit in the scan.
Enjoy!

MMMM pie!

I bought a delicious pumpkin pie from Associated Grocery for all my suitemates (and myself). Special for fall! Special for yumminess!

We had a cute little pumpkin we stole from the hall (it was some decoration or something) sitting on our table and it fit so well with the cute little pie that I took the photo of both together. AREN'T THEY SO ADORABLE TOGETHER? If anyone wants to draw a few little hearts between the two, I think it'd be appropriate...

What I really can't wait for is pumpkin pie made by my parents FROM SCRATCH when I come home for Thanksgiving. My mom makes the flakiest crust by keeping the butter cold, and my dad makes the filling scooped from the pumpkin by hand. It's gonna be great!
