Subway Air Monster

Natasha and I went and saw a performance artist downtown tonight at Sushi. Performance art is something that I still have a difficult time understanding, but, it was interesting nonetheless.

Another art form I am a huge fan of is street art... This particular piece is soooo cool. The Loch Ness monster is real!!!!!

We Survived...


Yes... we made it last night without any giant falls (although I did have a minor tumble that included me knocking over Nat a little... Sorry Nat!!!). And that was quite the rush. Yes, we got separated from the group fairly early (how you lose 1200 other bicyclists, I'm not quire sure, but we managed to do that just fine). We are determined to do it next month and not get separated. It's an amazing experience with such a great message.

Metronomy... A Thing For Me

Saw Metronomy the other night at Bar Pink in North Park. Boy oh boy do they put on a great show. Love the synchronized moves. A must see...

Squids...


Ok... so I found this website a while back that sounds really lame... but I think its fun. You design and build a squid. I know it sounds kinda lame, but you get to save it and go back to check on your squid whenever you like and see what he (or she) has been up to. The other day my squid (Brett) made friends with a killer whale, swam with a blue whale, and just today he was out looking for suckers. Try it... you'll like it.

Critical Mass...

Ok... So I'm pretty excited for tonight... Except that I am going to attempt to do this on my beach cruiser. Not quite sure how well that is going to pan out. But I am definitely going to buy a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, shin pads, and anything else I can get to prevent myself from dying. I'm pretty much going to look like this guy on a pink beach cruiser...

(ring rong)


I [heart] DIS SHYT TU DEAF.
oh man these are cool. i think their meant to be worn one-a-day for each day of the week or something...but screw that. I'm wearing them all at once because that's how cool i am. either that, or i'll give half of them to maureen, and then we'd be cool all the time!

(i've got to love me some animal tracks)


so these are amazing. coming from a hippie family that loves nature these are one hundred percent necessary. I could totally imagine sneaking up on my brother and putting tracks by his head for when he wakes up, and ultimately scaring him shitless!-THINK OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU WOULD FOOL!!! BAHAHA!

oh man, rawr! you could even scare some peeps in the bathroom!

(Poor Leno, Royksopp)



wow i love this and i've been listening to this album all morning, one of my old favorites for sure. Melody AM = best!

(want it cause its cute and charming)


well, i don't know about charming, but this is a cute little nail brush that im sure any one would die to have (or die from having? tetanus anyone?) . quite obviously, its a nail-brush, you know to clean your nails with, but at the same time its a NAIL with a BRUSH on it...HO-LY-COW. haha.
no really though this brush is so cool, because somehow its made by blind people in a German factory for a puny thirty five bucks. yummmyyy

(i ride my bike)


besides hopelessly relying on public transportation since i've sold my little civic, i've been almost one hundred percent relying on my bike--and its so great.

Sunday morning bike rides are so so nice, especially in this great weather, right? RIGHT. I've pretty much been on my bike running errands all around town today with the boyfriend ever since i woke up....at 10 AM, making me a bik-a-manic-a-holic. woohoo!

oh and the ad above is a sweet vintage Raleigh ad (which my dad ceaselessly is a collector of), anyone else have childhood memories of family bike rides on these old turkeys?

(a car-less bus ride)



::my bus-boredom creation::

i sold my car recently and now i'm carless, meaning i take the bus for just about two hours everyday to get to school and then back home. but its nice. for all you hippie commuters out there (i'm sure your doing it because you care about the planet, and not about your wallet (: ) sometimes there is just not much there.

MY FIVE FAVORITE Best Things to do on a Bus



1. SLEEP (can anyone argue that this is not the best answer for any free time?)
2. HOMEWORK/PAY.THE.BILLS (so awesome because when you get home you get free timeee)
3. PEOPLE.WATCH (one of my very very very favorite past-times)
4. DRAW.AND.EAVESDROP.ON.OTHER.PEOPLE'S.CONVERSATIONS (horribly fun)
5. LISTEN.TO.ROYKSOPP (somehow the beat of the music always follows the pattern of trees/buildings passing by, which is doubly amazing)

okay, so i originally wanted this to be "ten best things to do on a bus," but...yeah bus rides are just...BORING.

enjoyy

(what would you do for a whopper?)





http://www.whoppersacrifice.com/

the whopper sacrifice. its bad. for all you kids out there who are avid or not so avid facebook users, this is an application that Burger king made that rewards you for deleting ten of your friends. that's right. and what do you get in return? an AWESOMELY FUH-REE WHOPPER. but that's it.

I'm not going to lie, i totally partook in this...EVERYONE has those random friends on facebook or myspace that they talked to like once at a party, and have never ever seen since. what a way-worth it trade.

Just as a warning, this application for sure burns their profile picture.... and makes you feel slightly bad slash guilty. but whatever. ha!
