hair Originally uploaded by Minnibird I’m not sure how much longer I can hold on and not start fucking with my hair. This haircut is oddly puffy and the color makes me look like 10 years older than I should. So, do I just grow it out to see how the natural color looks when [...]
pointy teeth! Originally uploaded by Minnibird I taught myself embroidery this weekend! I’ve done cross stitch and a few years ago at Maker Faire Jenny Hart showed me how to do a back stitch. I’m making this wind up bird as a show piece for some embroidery kits that will be available at the Winter [...]
My sister has pointed out that Kiki’s Delivery Service passes the test. As does Totoro, actually. In Kiki’s Delivery Service you have Kiki, the shop woman and the artist woman as the three main female characters. Both adult females act as friends and mentors for Kiki. There is a peripheral female kid character who is [...]
Last night I was thinking the The Incredibles passes the test but after looking at the female interactions more closely I think it starts to lose points. The main female characters are Elasti girl, her daughter, Edna Mode and the evil henchwoman. So we have a mother daughter relationship, a jealousy relationship and a relationship [...]
Pickin up some of these annoying long skinny pieces of paper that are scattered everywhere. “Mommy shark, daddy shark, ME shark and eel swimming now.” I am loving the stories Jack is telling. Yesterday morning he came upstairs after having escaped his room and he got up on our bed with some lego ‘guys’ he [...]
Was anyone else ever annoyed by the three little bears story when you get to the porridge part? If the big bowl has not cooled off very much, why wouldn’t the medium bowl be the just right one and the tiny one the too cool one? Or the other way around. Having the little one [...]
I was in a massively shitty mood for like 2 weeks when suddenly I realized that it was because I had completely forgotten to take my meds for that amount of time. Horrible unfocused anger almost totally vanished after about 4 days back on. PHEW! I’ve been sewing spats like crazy. Can’t help but wonder [...]
Darth Tater Originally uploaded by Minnibird Jack and I played Hot Potato the other day, which was fun but would have been funner if he hadn’t been in the bath tub about to crack his head open at any moment and expose me for a bad mom (and hurt himself). I also recently broken open [...]
This weekend I went with Badger to see the AXIS Dance Company performance here in Oakland. It was awesome and if you’re in town you should go check it out. I don’t see many dance performances but whenever I do am I just astounded by what people can do with their bodies. I loved the [...]
Awsome things Jack said over the weekend: “butt crack” and “crap!” Probably some other stuff that I can’t remember. He’s pretty cute with the talking, except when he’s whining. We just had a fun play session in which he uses his blanket to be a movie screen and we watch a nature show and all [...]
Last week I made a ton of tiny cupcakes. cinnamon with cinnamon frosting, cinnamon with mayan chocolate frosting, black bottom with mayan chocolate frosting and ginger with lemon frosting. I made them for my friends final day of shooting for her trailer but I had my dates confused. So that’s what I get for never [...]
