So I went to Mexico!!  Went with my BFF Angie who I met in 6th grade and we're still best buds today.  Traveled by bus to Guaymus, and then from there to San Carlos & Miramar.  GOOD TIMES.  And yes, that's a pina colada.  And I do like getting caught in the rain.

But the main reason I wanted to post this picture was to show you guys that bitchin' alterations I did to my ex frump-o thrift store tee!  AIN'T IT SWELL!?

Also, an update on the list: 
% I learned how to apply eyeliner finally (even if that picture doesn't suffice)
% I went to Mexico!
% I leanred how to operate my sewing machine properly! (See awesome shirt, YEAH!)
% I had no access to coffee while in Mexico, so my 1 week without coffee is up!

And actually, I think I might try to not drink coffee religiously like I used to because, well, I work at a cafe for one, and I don't need it like I used to (plus no headaches!).

This thing is so hard to finish.  I've started it, but I can't find the nerve to just knit, knit, KNIT, K N I T, KNNNIIIITTTTT, until it is a field of stockinette and the skin from the tips of my fingers.

And I also made this hat for Max -- but it was too small... so I hadda make him another one.  You know what that means??  IT MEANS WE'RE HAT TWINS.

Of course I added earflaps and soon the awesome earflaps will have POM POMS.  holy wow, i know.  Also, I've been in a huge Regina Spektor kick like nobody's bizniz, so guess what I did:

Happy July!!!!!!!

Fingerprint shirt & "I DISAGREE" shirt.  Fuck yez.

Stencils rock my muddafuckin' w3rld.

"020. Experience the wrath of a full-time (40 hr.+) job."

I did it!!  I got a job at Shot In the Dark cafe in downtown Tucson about 3 weeks ago, and within last Tuesday and yesterday, I worked a good 50 hours.  WOO-HAW!

Even though it felt like my soul was being gouged out with the tomato-corer and the gonzo fist that slices the cucumbers felt like it was shaving eyeballs, it was absolutely worth working 50 hours.  Plus tipz!  I LOVE TIP MONEY!  Does this mean that I'm comfortable with the idea of stripper?  Hmmm...

I need to post some tshirt pix but I can't find my digicam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

love.

'Sup kidz.  So lately I've lost any inspiration or motivation for knitting anything useful.  This is totally beside myself, so I'm not quite understanding why I feel compelled to make... swatches.  Not just swatches, but i-cords, strips, striped rectangles.  Well, let me explain some more.

That's right, you guys... 

KNIT GRAFFITI!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ain't it the swellest thang that's happened?  I've been wanting to do social art for awhile now, and I've always wanted to incorporate fibers in whatever I do, so this is it.  Me and my good friend Max went on the popular street of 4th ave. on a Tuesday night and slipped i-cords onto antennas and wrapped big fatty tubes onto tree branches and garter stitched belts to that yellow pole at the ATM.  The last picture was the first one I did, and is on the side of the building I work at.  Nice reminders.

SO, if you haven't, I highly encourage you to knit some graffiti and tag some shyit up, YO!  Seriously, it's even like giving a gift to the public, something you knit, leave it on a doorstep -- or preferrably, tied to the doorknob.  But to me its a fucking great feeling. 

Oh, and since I've been knitting those useless things, I've started the first pair of socks of the YEAR.  Yeah, it's been awhile.  <3

Here are a few pix of what went on in the good city of Portland, OR, during my visit from May 17-31.

It was a wonderful trip, I had a fucking excellent time!! 

Time to talk about the list.  So far I've got #080 down (haha, that was fun) and I'm currently working on #'s 001, 011, 046, 057, 091, 093, and 098.  I'll update and elaborate more (like, when I finish things).

But I will tell you... Salvia (aka, Salvia Divinorum) is a trip.  The local headshops sell it, which I find really odd since I thought Max was a cactus for a little bit... fun times!  Knit your little fingers to their little bonez, much luv.
