PICS
FUUUUUCK, i had this blog all typed out then accidentally navigated away from the page. guess i'll start over.
here's a slow jam, to start. i recently discovered bon iver and have been listening to this song 500x/day.
i'm feeling cynical these days. seems there's no constant in life other than my cats alternating between meowing and cuddling. seems like i make plans just to see them get broken. what can i count on? NOTHING
i am looking forward for my upcoming trip to vancouver, though; it's my #1 love-city and i haven't been there in years!! so it's not all grousing on this end, just...partially.
rang in the new year at work. wore a fabulous outfit (cause for once we didn't have to dress in uniforms) and my coworker hasn't posted the photos on facebook yet, otherwise i'd share the delightful nature of my new wardrobe acqusition. work was a breeze, all the customers left by 12.30 so we had a couple drinks, bussed the restaurant, ate leftover desserts and took down the xmas decorations. i was home by 3 and had a glorious 9 hour sleep...a nice way to start the year, for sure.
here are 4 things i want right now
1.) a camera that takes video, too! even a webcam would be fine, but i'm a nerdbot running linux so who the fuck knows about that. i need to google that shit. i would love to make another cooking video but it's not happening without that motion-recorder.
2. & 3.) wireless remote & new lens for my camera
4.) usb mouse
yesterday i treated myself to a mini-shopathon at lush. i'm making a push toward buying more local & natural products so finding a foundation base mix there was a huge plus to my day (yay makeup!). i also got a shampoo bar, a huge tub of tasty-smelling lotion, and some bad ass giant samples of hair products.
today i meant to do a tonne of sewing, but i organised my photos into this nifty organiser box i bought, and got distracted by the internet, and uploaded a bunch of photos to flickr, and and and. but at least i sewed one thing, a cute little autumn leaf brooch.
photo-dump!
here i am making pyrohy/pierogy/pyrogy/etc last month. it was amazing. jess, rosha & i rolled out 150! SO DELICIOUS
jess, rosha & r's husband came home with me for christmas. it was delightful.
pepin is cute, and i like the light that my sheer red curtains cast in the morning.
here are my ever-reliable kitties. as i type this, henry is snoring. i love it so much. he and pepin are sleeping facing eachother, head to head, with paws draped across each other. they are sweet little friends. having two cats is like 9000x cuter than having just one.
my mobile studio workspace all set up for serious stitchin' (which definitely ensued)
a bee brooch i made (one of several pieces from that day)
walking to get people and cat food, frowning cause it was colder than -20c. fuck winter, man, but it doesn't seem as though i'm headed back to tropical climes anytime soon so i just better suck it up. upon realising that recently, i got some cute/functional winter boots, and a cute/functional winter coat. yep. accepting the inevitable. AND that's a new scarf i'm wearing as a babushka in this photo, because it was $10 at a boxing day sale.
and now it's 3 am, why do these things always take me hours to compose? these days, i'm usually up late sewing or fretting. what keeps you up late?
oh, and check this shit out: describe me in three words

hola!
today is my first day off in over a week--i slept in till ten but i still feel so fucking wasted. i'm planning on taking an afternoon nap with my sweetheart kitten babies. in fact, it's 1pm but i crawled back into bed with them to write this.
i actually made a new profile photo!! hopefully it gets accepted...i don't have many photos of myself these days so it was slim pickin's.
i don't know how often the staff robots change photos these days, but my fingers are crossed.
what else have i been up to? hmm, this week i made my roommate/#1 wife jessica a giant supper for her birthday. she asked for souvlaki, so i made it with greek salad, tzitziki and pita, with strawberry cheesecake for dessert. i had made none of that stuff before, except pita, so it was definitely a learning experience but i think it came out really well. the cheesecake had to set overnight so we had it for breakfast on wednesday morning, which was indulgent and delightful, but so rich the tiny piece i tried made me feel slightly ill. cheesecake is too heavy for me at the best of times so i was kind of insane to eat first thing in the morning but fuck it, i am 26 and i can get away with that shit.
omg, dudes, today i made the most gourmet grilled cheese sandwich of my life. it was on sourdough bread, with some herbed chevre, thinly sliced cheddar, a few sundried tomatoes and avocado slices. it was the sexiest grilled cheese i've ever eaten.
on the bad habits list (besides eating fucking cheesecake for breakfast) i've started smoking cloves again! i blame work and wifey. we don't really get breaks at work unless they're smoke breaks, and i loooove the act of smoking, and jess is always smoking at home...grr!! i only have 1-2 cloves a day, and i think this temporary bad habit is offset by my extremely healthy vegetarian diet and almost daily yoga practice. why does it feel so sexy to hold a cigarette, draw the smoke in, move your mouth around it and exhale? i don't think it's just hollywood sexifying it...there's something innately delightful about it.
and friends, don't bother lecturing me about it (like my coworker yesterday!! i totally wanted to punch her in the face) because it's a very occasional habit of mine. usually when i buy a pack, i can't even finish them before they get all stale. the only reason my last pack got finished was because wife jessica smoked half of it.
oh, and shit!! i almost forgot. here's what's been crawling up my ears lately: the new girl talk album. when i heard 'ice cream paint job' in the first track i was bowled over. i have such a musicboner for girl talk. i saw him twice this year (one show was tragically cut short however!! oh the sadness) and he's one of the best live shows i've ever seen. he lets the crowd pile on stage with him and so as he spins, there's a giant dance party going on beside & around him. very cool considering most musicians maintain a very firm distance from their crowd.
check this shit out. girl talk is the best because of his extremely diverse sampling and his proclivity to layer dirty ass rap on top of sappy synth. seriously. just listen. maybe have a dance party. this shit is irresistible.
in other news, i need a haircut so fn bad. it's so shaggy in the back i can almost fit it into a ponytail. i feel like a nerd when my cool haircut grows out into shagtown. ok, breathe, i can make it through to a stylist without hacking the shit out of my hair...i hope!
and now, my question to you guys: if you were cooking to impress someone, what would you make?

and now, my question to you guys: if you were cooking to impress someone, what would you make?
fuck, dudes. i need a new profile photo so badly. the pink-hair is from april 2007!! that's almost four years. shameful, my friends. utterly shameful. i keep meaning to make a new one but i get distracted by rl tasks.
this past week, i've been so obsessed with the song only girl by rihanna. i don't usually get on pop music benders but lately i've been listening to that song like 5 times a day. omg. guilty pleasure!! plus she is sooo tasty. mm, ladies!!
just the other day i realised that i had something i wanted to share with you guys. i did a video for my pal barrie's clothing line last summer & never really shared it with anyone, cause i felt like i looked kinda awkward. but whatever. how many more swimsuit videos am i likely to do? i dunno, so here it is!! we are all wearing crazy masks, but you'll be able to recognize me by my hilarious lanky bowling and tattoos. oh, and it's before i went back to platinum!! blast from the past . the day of the shoot was so much fun. hanging out with a bunch of cute ladies, dancing, bowling and eating pizza? yes please. i want to get one of barrie's swimsuits next year, because i'll actually be able to use it!
that's right! i'm going back to san diego next summer!! my green card application was already approved, but i need to go to montreal in the spring to do a physical & short interview, then the gov't will mail me my card and shortly after i'll be headed back south! i'm really excited for it.
i feel like i have a lot more to write about, but i also want to make chai syrup and re-arrange my bedroom. all that, and i have to go to bed early cause i work tomorrow at 7 am! blehhhhhh
when do you guys decorate for the holidays (if at all)? usually i put my stuff up dec 1, but this year my roommate jess was feeling bored so she did it early. it looks so good! seeing the decorations every day cheers me up so much. <3

ok, here's what's in my ear this week:
janelle monae! kind of a musical chameleon, but soooo good.
she's also super stylish.
what else is up with me? made crazy pizzas with my dude and roommate. this shit was veggie overload. asparagus, pineapple, red onion, yellow pepper, zuchhini, fresh & sun dried tomatoes, feta, veggie pepperoni and a stuffed crust, a la pizza hut.
what's your favourite pizza topping? i can't go without pineapple.

this song has been in my head for days. i don't know why it keeps rattling around in there. i don't really get what it's about "come rub it on my belly like guava jelly"? is guava jelly some kind of belly love treatment? i dunno.
so today i'm gonna roll around singing about guava jelly, do some housework & errands, and go buy some fancy makeup with a giftcard from my momma. i want benetint, some lipvenom or one of their related products, and maybe some of this eye brightener. i mean, there are a million other products i'd like, but this gift card doesn't have infinite money on it (whaaaat?)
turnaround from my last entry: i rebooked my vancouver trip! i'll be there january 18-23. soooo excited to breathe that wet air and slink around in my favourite place, eating good veggie food and visiting friends i haven't seen for years. really! years! sad times, i tell you.
and more news: i'm moving back to sd, but not until next summer-ish. i have my first green-card interview on wednesday at the consulate here. yikes! i'm kinda nervy, cause i've never done anything official like that, but i know it will be fine. uproot is going back to san diego first, in a couple weeks, and when my card gets approved i'll be following. it's gonna be a long & lonely winter without him but i plan on filling the days by seeing my friends a lot & making lots of art.
i've been spending a lot of time with my #1 calgary lady lavonne and we're cooking up ideas for a new set for me. don't know when it'll happen but shit will be good.
recently i've had a spark of creativity regarding my wardrobe, and here are some of my favourite outfits to come from it. getting dressed is fun again!!
(first time i wore red lipstick outside a shoot!!! sooo rad).
well, better move my lazy ass & go have some breakfast so i can get on this day of stuff. don't fall into the trap of slothiniess, rin! aaaaaa

Right now, I'm sitting at home feeling so bummed. I just cancelled my flight to Vancouver. Due to a bunch of financial stressors this month, I won't be able to afford a trip! One of the things--the leaf springs on our f150 breaking and costing $1000 to repair--was kind of insane, but resulted in a really, really smooth ride. I drove home from my mom's this weekend and I tell you, since its repair driving the old redneck cadillac is a totally new experience!
I'm listening to Lykke Li and missing my number one California lady, miss Irinka. It's really fucking cold and lame here right now. The entire spring and summer have been complete balls. Snow in May. Rained all June. Half of July has been cold and rainy! Yesterday I had to hide out in Safeway while golf ball sized hail smashed around Kensington. Today it was so damp and chilly--only 11C or something. This is supposed to be summer, goddamnit! On top of my (typically Albertan) weather complaints, I have to rant about the bugs. I didn't remember the mosquitoes being like 2 cm long! It fuckin' figures.
And here's a photo of me & my lady. I miss you Irinka<3<3<3<3<3
Also big in my life right now: using my kitchen so hard. On Sunday I made sushi, miso soup, strawberry jam and bread! Yesterday I worked on a batch of pierogies (half of which is still frozen in my freezer) and froze some blueberries for use later. Today I just finished a batch of chocolate-dipped chocolate chip cookie dough freezer bites. Kind of a mouthful, but a fucking amazing mouthful of chocolate cookie goodness. And it would be a shame if I didn't mention the delightful smell coming from my robot boulanger right now!! Oh yes, warm bread, I will eat you as a bedtime snack.
Some food stuff I'm looking forward to soon: picking asparagus & otherwise learning how to can, so I can preserve the farmers market bounty into the winter. Making cupcakes to bring to work (I made some chocolate-vanilla marble ones that were a hit at a family reunion this weekend. Getting some rhubarb (that shit is tasty). Ordering some vanilla beans so I can make my second batch of vanilla extract. Making another cooking video SOMEDAY!
Here is me in my glorious (ha) kitchen a few months ago, by my lovely friend yellowdays. She came to visit me in April and I stuffed her with some intense vegan food. It's awesome to have cooking pals<3
How's summer in your neck of the woods?

Look out, Vancouver pals! Uproot and I fly into town on July 17th!!! Prepare for fun and awesome. I am so very excited! It has been three long years since I last was in my love-town Vancouver...I can hardly wait!
Good goddamn! It's been a long time...
What have I been up to? Working as a barista (ugh), whipping up some delights in the kitchen, making myself do lots of yoga. Enjoying the summer that's finally arriving! Yesterday was perfect dress-wearing weather and I made the most of it. I want to get a bike soon & then I'll start enjoying the weather that way (and stop commuting on the bus! fuck you, bus!). I'm also working on a mini-garden and so far I've learned that seeds are fucking hard to start! I just checked on my starter boxes today and basil, dill, cucumbers, some little flowers, and some mystery unlabelled seeds are sprouting. Hooray! I'm not a complete and total failure.
Here are a tonne of photos to show you kind of what I've been up to the past few months:

Oh, and here's this video I love. Can you handle some existential angst about the tiny scale of our lives compared to the rest of the universe? Oh boy, I bet you can. No wonder people start to believe in religion. If you think about how futile and meaningless our lives are otherwise it can be pretty difficult. Although this video is kind of mind-boggling, it doesn't make me move from my position of staunch atheism. If anything, it makes me realise how I am the only one who can inject meaning into my own life. Enough rambling. Check this shit out!
So, what are you looking forward to this summer? Me, I'm hoping my garden grows...that I can finally take a trip to Vancouver (fingers crossed for late July!) and another trip to Prescott, AZ to visit my dude's wonderful grandparents (September?), a new job, some rad summer shows (sled island, wolf parade, folk fest) and a new tattoo (a rose on my elbow).
Winter is so romantic. It doesn't have the sexy sweaty breathlessness of summer, but it has a soft, cozy appeal I can't deny.
Last night I worked on my St Zita icon.
I added some silver embroidery on her tunic and I hope to finish that in a couple days. Then it's on to adding some background details (angels, mistletoe, acorns) and fixing up the mop and bucket she holds and then the icon will be done!
If you need a refresher, St Zita is a mummified saint who is kind a patron saint to homemakers, domestic servants, rape victims, those ridiculed for their piety and waitresses. She died in the 13th century and when her body was exhumed a few hundred years later it was not decayed, marking her among a small group of Catholic saints, The Incorruptibles.
In other news, I want a print of this:
Ack! Is it September already? Autumn's coming, and I'm at home in Alberta (at long last). I'm enjoying the bright night skies. Even when the moon isn't full, it can be as bright as day. It's September, nights are getting longer and mornings creeping in later, but even at midnight it's not as dark here as it in in San Diego an hour after sunset. I never realised how far north I was until I got some real southern-latitudes perspective. Almost as if it was timed, the satisfying thunderstorm I've been waiting three years to hear rolled in the first night I was back at my mom's. It was perfect.
I've been working at my mom's job with her and it's kind of been like I'm living in Corner Gas. It's hilariously easy and I'm actually kind of a great time. I am seeing tonnes of people I remember but it's not really that bad, because I know it's just for a short time. It sure is crazy to be back in a tiny place after the last 8 years of metropolii.
I have so much to say but True Blood S2ep11 is almost done downloading (yes, I'm a week behind because of an irritatingly sketchy internet connection) and I am so tired, I really have got to get to sleep! I'm behind on all my RSS feeds too (tough life), and I really want to get in some chatting with friends-blog update time soon. On the other hand, it's kind of nice to spend less than a half hour a day on the computer. It's kind of leaving me in a blissful bit of internet-less-ness. I've been spending time with people I so sorely missed and it's really making me happy.
