christian_car_wash.jpg


he would wash it at this christian car wash with a nun out front. except in this case the nun is a man in a halloween costume.

unfortunately, a lot of my halloween pictures didn't turn out, but maybe i can get some of at least mine and my friends' costumes from owen later and post them here.

owen visits

suzuki_dream_car.jpg

owen visited me from monday the 27th until monday november 3rd. i had a lot of fun and we ate a lot of food. we also saw this little 2-seater suzuki, which i totally want. the fortunate owner of it was right there seeing me admire it, and told me he bought it used for 1800 bucks and souped it up a bit. owen is pictured next to it for scale so you can see how cute it is. i think it would be fun to drive and easy to park.

uni
You are Form 3, Unicorn: The Innocent.

"And The Unicorn knew she wasn't meant to
go into the Dark Wood. Disregarding the advice
given to her by the spirits, Unicorn went
inside and bled silver blood.. For her
misdeed, the world knew evil."

Some examples of the Unicorn Form are Eve
(Christian) and Pandora (Greek).
The Unicorn is associated with the concept of
innocence, the number 3, and the element of
water.
Her sign is the twilight sun.

As a member of Form 3, you are a curious
individual. You are drawn to new things and
become fascinated with ideas you've never come
in contact with before. Some people may say
you are too nosey, but it's only because you
like getting to the bottom of things and
solving them. Unicorns are the best friends to
have because they are inquisitive.


Which Mythological Form Are You?

The Princess Bride
I'm sure it's no big surprise to you that your
romance is The Princess Bride. A heartwarming
tale of "Twue Wuve" that has giants,
Spainards and swashbuckling. You really do
think that love can overcome anything. You may
be a touch naive but your heart is certainly in
the right place. You've probably got one of
those relationships where proper nouns have
been replaced with "Snookums" and
"Pookie Pie". Eww. Beware a cuteness
overload.

3:1 ratio on ugly to beautiful

ugly_billboard.jpg

i took pictures over the weekend and i noticed there seem to be a lot of ugly things around that need an explanation.

for example, this is the ugliest billboard ever. in case you can't read it (the car was moving while i took it), it advertises billboard space for sale, and says

oh blue-tiful
for spaces wide

but frankly i would rather see the actual sky there instead of that eyesore, how about you?


ugly_pink_shoe.jpg

these mutant shoes were found at famous footwear. stilletto heels on canvas tennis shoes with a pointy toe? that's just wrong.


ugly_hat_rusty_van.jpg

the other thing that's just wrong is my brother's hat. here he is posing next to rusty top (that's the name of our van). he's probably getting girls' attention in a class clown sort of way, but wow. also, when i saw him from far away, i thought he was wearing a clown wig, or had done that hairlooming thing as seen in the movie amazon women on the moon.


big_butterfly.jpg

this was the only pretty thing around. it is so blurry i wouldn't normally bother, but this is an uncropped photo and i DON'T have a zoom function on my camera.
