don't be hatin'

good afternoon campers! 'tis tuesday. i voted. did you? lemme tell ya, it's hard to find non-partisan election information. i always get nervous reading the amendment information and i'm always nervous after i put the ballot in the machiney thing; that i accidentally voted for baby huey or something. voting is stressful. i digress.

today i have had a good day. a little weird. for some reason i had a really down, self-punishing torture time this morning. fortunately it only lasted a couple hours and now i'm feeling better. a little disappointed in the dip but glad that i'm so stubbournly optimistic that it turned itself around quickly. so here i am, eating butternut squash soup and trying to figure out what to do with my day of the dead people. my little display for them kept getting knocked over and now i don't know where to put them.

now don't be overwhelmed by how exciting my life is right now. i know the glamour and the glitz has you mystified. i'm so mystified i'm going to do the dishes. heh.

adieu for now, friends.

character study

also, mama and i went to a rad wig shop in town on friday and spent over an hour trying on hair. a smattering for your enjoyment.

the minnesota housewife, margie skaarper.

the liberal politician or hip older artist lady who works from a studio in her house. p.s. this one is totally my favourite. what would her name be? lynette larabie?
emmylou harris says what?

the hair i had to take home. this is the one i wore with my alien costume because i have been missing my long hair. miss ade calls it tammy from georgia, but i think it looks like adam sandler's girlfriend in the wedding singer (linda?). not too much of a difference there though.

possibly the hairdo for my alter ego, petra sculps... something to think about.

later kiddos!

halloween recap

we didn't do much this year but we had a great time nonetheless. we visited friends and family and started a few new traditions. we were productive and silly and ate a really delicious dinner. here are some fotografias for your enjoyment!

above picture: me dressed as an alien trying to pass as human. you can't really tell but my hair is a maroon colour. come to find out, it actually looks alright on me. whouda thunk?

below: mister mississippi as a pipe smokin' birdwatcher. he spoke either really loudly or really softly all night long because he couldn't hear with the furry hat on. pretty hilarious. please excuse how messy our kitchen is...ahem. moooving on...

frida kahlo the caveman. i took my mom's coworker's 60's 'stache and well...who wouldn't do the same thing? makes you want to paint something or make fire doesn't it?

heh.

adieu,

lu
