too chi, chi

went to Chicago for the first time. saw dinosaur skeletons for the first time. saw mummies for the first time. so many firsts! it was brief, but great. don't think i can handle a big city life, though. here's a bunch of boring pictures and stuff.

goats. i dunno.

t-rex arms are so. small.

wtf was up with this shark??? nature is insane.

FUCK YEAH

my creepy silhouette with some "man-eating" lions.

prehistoric shizz

 another bad-ass extinction victim  i'm fond of

true dat, Darwin. Darwin is my homeboy.

my first mummy!

me and Lyuba

hot as balls, but pretty.

i could look at jellyfish all day<3

omg, seahorses! i love them!

cutest sign ever?

TYPICAL TOURISTY SHOT. ugh. from certain angles i look like a man in drag. and not in an attractive way.

most of the aquarium action is on video.

other stuff happened, but i wasn't quite as video/picture-happy as i usually am on trips. Chicago seems like a really amazing city and i'd love to go back there sometime and see it up close and explore it more.

Green

A friend turned me onto Shiina Ringo in high school and I was really big on her, and just recently I remembered her and looked her up. She's still amazing!!! She's so inspiring to me, not only her music, but her visuals in her videos are so fucking cool!


live with Tokyo Jihen - I loooove her stage outfit! XD And I love how elegant and beautiful she is. Plus wtf instrument is she playing?? haha


Some other older videos of hers I like:
"Ringo No Uta" - I really think this one is cool because it shows her evolution as an artist, recreating her album covers and all her different looks from past videos. It really matches the reflective nature of the song well.

"Honnou" - One of my fave songs/videos of hers ever. I love this video so much! haha Of course there's the medical/nurse fetish stuff and girls making out, but I also love that it has that touch of Japanese cheesiness and weirdness XD


 There are other cool videos, like an animated one where she's a retro spy kind of character with a pet robot cat that transforms into a gun (haha!) but I can't find them. :/

I admire her so much; I like that she can seem vulnerable and sweet yet tough and sexy at the same time. It makes me want to work on being a better woman.

Let's Live Forever

Boy Crisis "Fountain of Youth" - YouTube
I'm so in love with this video (and this song) right now. It makes me want to do a futuristic 80's-styled space story, haha!

I'm just getting over having probably the worst head cold I've ever had. :( Still feel yucky, but much better!

Drawing raptors is a lot harder than drawing t-rex to me. Maybe it's just because I don't look at them as much. T-rex, you're still number 1 in my heart, baby!!

I like the second, cartoony one, even though I'm not sure it would work for Dinogeddon. XD

Burning Down

Most horrible day ever today. I feel horrible.

I've got to find another job...I can't deal with being verbally abused by customers all the time anymore. Today I almost snapped on this little yuppie girl who was barking at me because I tore the labels on her expensive bottles of gift liquor trying to remove their anti-theft devices. Fuck everybody. Fuck the holidays.

skinny thighs - youtube  O_O did she say "thighs of a four-year-old?"

Disabilities downplayed for 'Britain's Missing Top Model" - article  omg, this rules!!! I wanna see this show!! I'm kinda confused by the partially paralyzed girl. Like, does she only have to use her wheelchair part of the time, or would she just like wheel herself down the catwalk? Because that would be awesome!

Supersize vs Superskinny - youtube  I really don't know how I feel about this show, or if it's anywhere near a good idea....I just can't believe they make them meet each other in their underwear! O_O

Haha butt tassles! XD This girl is my hero!
