(I was really glad that I didn't have anything to do while at my momma's house for thanksgiving.)

I did make this pie also... i think it turned out pretty good.

happy thanksgiving yall!

marine dreams

yesterday i had a dream that I was a frog living with a colony of frogs in a tropical environment. The frog colony and I discovered that we were able to survive in the sea and the dream mostly consisted of my frog self swimming through corral reefs. it was probably the best dream that I have had in a while so i made a doodle upon awaking.

... it also led me to wonder if marine frogs actually existed.
(the answer is yes/kind of. There are crab eating frogs that can be found in saltwater marshes and mangroves in Singapore and Malaysia..... not quite the same as the tropical reef frog I dreamed up.)

at the mat

I went to the laundromat the other day. It was fun in a strange sort of way.

in the bathroom: (this is a cellphone picture that my friend, Olivia, took.)

angela

The other day I found some pictures I took during the summer of 2009... I kinda like these ones.
During that summer a helped out a lady named Angela who lived in a retirement home near 5 Points. I met Angela one day while I was at Adriana's and she told me she'd give me German lessons if I helped her out around her house.

.... So, I visited her and listened to her tales. She spoke in a distinct vernacular: a thick German accent crossed with American military-speak. (Her ex- husband, who she referred to as "the ex-coward" was a U.S. soldier and she had grown up in Berlin.)
I ran errands for her and helped her out with a number of tasks (mostly tasks involving technology that was developed after 1980.) She even requested that I call her cell phone provider and yell at them for their poor service. A friendly discussion on the terms of her agreement just wouldn't cut it.. she suggested I let them know that they are "JERKOS," (a word she used frequently.)

I stopped seeing Angela after my fifth or sixth visit because each time I'd come she'd ask me to perform a number of household tasks while she chain smoked and rambled on about stupid Americans and never got around to teaching me any German.
(I do admit that she was endearing but I can only do so much.)
anyway, here are some pictures :

geographics

A family that I currently house sit for has about 5 years worth of national geographic magazines for the taking. As a result, I did some doodling in them while house-sitting* for them this weekend. (I've got into pretty serious house sitting biz as of lately...)
anyway.. here's some doodles




* watching a cheaters marathon on t.v. while their dogs sat on me

today i...

learned a new vocabulary word from a trashy magazine that i skimmed through while I was waiting in line at the grocery store....

... and looked at pictures of sculpted heads on pedestals.

and thought about fried chicken....
