the inane ramblings of an artistic fool

it seems my link wasn't working yesterday, so i say for a third time...WHAT? YUM! (you have to verify your age. and if that doesn't work, i will give up and tell you.)

What?

2008-07-03T03:05:35Z

let me repeat that...WHAT? it sounds kind of good!

i may have inadvertently (does anyone do anything vertently?) broke my toe by standing up with a little too much flourish during a commercial break of So You Think You Can Dance. that show is unhealthy to me. it made me kick a table.

i got quoted!!!

2008-07-02T15:07:01Z

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! i got quoted in my favorite popculture blog, popcandy!

here is the article and here is the quote:

Several of you have sent me a link to this amusing Hellboy II promo. Says Pop reader jaytini: "Anything that uses James Lipton to promote itself is a must-see in my book!"
YAY!
i am totally geeking out over this.

oh, you mean you just ignored them?

2008-07-02T12:35:42Z

imagine if, when you get to heaven (should you believe in that sort of stuff) the dude at the gate (St. Peter, right) was all "Yeah, it's looking good, it is looking good...now my last question for you is this...when you were forwarded all those "help stop breast cancer" and "show support to our troops" chain emails, did you forward them on like you were asked to, or did you just ignore them? and don't lie, cause we know."

and i would have to be all "not only did i ignore them, sir, but i cursed the people who sent them to me. loudly."

and he would be all "yeah, those things were really a test. you totally fail. and also, those other people really DO have the secret to making your penis bigger." and one of those crazy olde time hooks comes out from stage left and pulls me off, sending me on my way to limbo or the hot place.

i mean, i am not about to start forwarding them or anything, but wouldn't that be interesting.

(also, i am not really looking to make my penis bigger. i just think it would be funny if the G man was hooked up to the internet.)

YAY MAMA MIA!

2008-06-25T03:29:32Z

bryan bought me tickets to mama mia for my birthday, which was in April, but the show was tonight! i could watch that musical about 50 more times. this was my third or fourth time seeing it, and it never gets old.

Um..."the happening" sure wasn't.

2008-06-18T02:45:24Z

i don't know what happened (god, i feel like i am telling the worlds worst joke every time i say that word in association with this movie...) i went in wanting to like it. i was even into it for about 10 or 15 minutes or so...then i kind of stopped being into it. then i was into it. then i stopped again. then it was over.

i just feel like there should have been more to it. i also feel like if a movie is going to have some sort of environmental kind of theme to it, it should have a warning or something. i hope i didn't give anything away. but if i did, i probably saved you some money.

feeling a little better today, hopefully tomorrow i will be all well, and then go into the city and shoot some pics.

i love this song, it has a very Sia "Breathe Me" feel to it...

i think i have to get a little piece of dookie off of dex's tail. ah, the trials of fatherhood.

CRABS!

2008-06-08T18:03:06Z

the good kind. mmmmm. and clams. and some mussels. and potato salad. and corn. and beer.

aw, cute!

US AND THE DOGS

2008-05-27T01:28:27Z

So it was a year ago today that we put Romy to sleep, and i think about her all the time. i really miss her.

(i think i had been crying a lot when this picture was taken...this is in the doggie hospital parking lot.)

but i am lucky, becaue i have two dogs that i love very much. and while they will never take her place, they mean so very much to me, and in such different ways then she did.

(this is bryan and dahlia and dex this weekend at great falls. it was their first time! the dogs, not bryan)

ow.

2008-05-17T02:22:31Z

i totally just whacked myself in the eye trying to take a picture outside with a tripod.

2008-05-16T03:38:57Z

it's raining again! bitches.

if anyone has a quadrillion dollars lying around...

2008-05-15T02:35:52Z

and wants to buy me the hasselblad H3DII, they should absolutely feel free to do so...that is a beautiful camera.

OH and WTF

2008-04-29T02:19:26Z

WTF about that lady whose dad kept her in the basement for 24 years?!?!?!?! AND HAD 6 (7, but one died) KIDS WITH HER, WITHOUT HER MOTHER KNOWING?!?!?!?! Read the story, it is fascinating and horrifying at the same time.

this has totally knocked Austria off of my list of places to visit.

my new new computer has made me a posting fool.

on a more serious note...

2008-04-29T01:52:40Z

does gummy food go bad? i just found a bag of gummy worms, and my favorite food in the world is gummy food, but i feel like they have been here for a while...

if i get sick, someone please tell the doctors that it was probably gummy poisoning.

new computer number 2

2008-04-29T01:45:32Z

SOOOOO...of course they released the newer more powerful version of my computer like, i dunno, ten minutes after i left the store yesterday. thankfully, my favoritist computer knowing type person, john, emailed me this morning to inform me of this, so i called the store and here i am in front of my new, new computer.

oy. the tech-geek part of me is winding down a little. of course i had already uploaded stuff and bookmarked things, but i got to the store late and kind of didn't want to bother getting everything moved over. so i need to put all my music back and then figure out which links i had bookmarked. but whatever. now i have a new new computer. this bad-boy is fast too!

but no more computers for me, for a while i hope!

computer...

2008-04-27T19:21:55Z

so, my good old faithful laptop kicked the bucket on friday...i brought her in to the genius bar today (well, yesterday, but don't get me started...it turns out that i am impatient...who knew? it was only worsened when i mentioned to the dude that if i had no computer, i had no access to the internet and was thusly unable to make an appointment online. what did he do? pulled out his iPhone. as in "if you had an iPhone, you could have made an appointment. fucker.)
ANYWAY...today i went in and the genius that helped me actually went to school with me at the art institute. really nice guy. and when he told me my hard drive was probably fried, and i mentioned that i would probably have to get an iMac, he totally vouched for me and said i was still a student.
and THEN the guy who came to help me pick out my iMac was TOTALLY flirting, i think. somehow i mentioned i had just been to costa rica, and it turned out he has been to the volcano we went to! and even climbed it! so he FURTHER vouched for me being a student (i had no ID on me nor did i have a class schedule...since i have already graduated...) and i got the discount on my BRAND NEW IMAC!
it is HUGE!
i LOVE IT!
it is the 24 inch, 2.8GHz one. it is bigger then my basement.
so, now i am about to start reloading some of my shit, trying to remember websites i had linked and such.
i love this fucking machine. it needs a name.

holy crap, i am hungry. like huuunnnnngggggry. and i am going to brunch at like noon-30, so i don't really want to eat too much right now. but i might have to have some cheese or something.

like, starving-hungry. even the dog biscuits look a little good.

so i have pics up on flickr of costa rica, and i also started updating the photoblog, with more to come today, so check 'em out!

back from paradise

2008-04-16T02:13:31Z

we got back last night, kinda late. i am residually tired, plus i got hit with a case of the funk today at work when i realized there wasn't a pool or beach within 20 feet of me...but the trip was awesome, and the pictures will be coming soon (like 900 of them). after i catch up on some sleep.

rock.

COSTA RICA

2008-04-05T00:10:10Z

we will be in costa rica in less then 24 hours!!!!

thank. GOD.

i am so ready for this trip!!!!

stuff

2008-03-20T02:06:53Z

the idol: well, i actually think that kind of stinks a little.

anyway, spring is here! it is rainy AND warm! finally!! i think it must have been my constant whining that made it come. although there is some sort of crazy wind advisory on for tomorrow. it does kind of feel like it could be all hurricane like.

i have been itching to be arty. every day i think i get a little closer to pulling out the paint. plus, we need some wall hangings.

and the dogs are getting along! at least most of the time. they either play (kind of hard and scary, but i guess it's cool) or sleep or chew on rawhide. i think in a few more weeks, they might even be really calm and chill with each other. and when i get home, dahlia runs upstairs with me to get dex from the crate, and i think if she hated him, she would just stay downstairs. every once in a while i do feel the need to step in when they play a little rough, but again, i get the feeling it is pretty normal.

oy. i have a headache. rock.

lists...

2008-03-13T23:39:59Z

i love LISTVERSE for exactly this reason: 10 modern cases of feral children. what? seriously? that is some nutty shit right there.

jaytini @ 2008-03-08T08:20:00

2008-03-08T13:35:40Z

the dogs are only "fighting" here and there, although it seems to be happening a bunch, the intensity is DEFINITELY down, and last night i left them alone to go get bryan from the metro and they weren't dead when i got back, so YAY progress! i still need to get a water bottle to spray them with, although i am having some luck with waving around a dish towel like a crazed asshole. i think i might just be really tired, other wise i would be all good. they rock. so does bryan. and also, i kind of want my mom to come for an extra visit to stay with the dogs. it is weird the things exhaustion does to you.

we have a trainer coming on wednesday to "assess" them (i guess to see how much training they need) so that should be interesting. Dex has only had 3 accidents in the house (well, four...one was a poop, at least i think it was his, or else Dahlia needs to not eat so much...gross, and two of the pees were in the morning because i didn't haul ass downstairs fast enough...he gets a slight pass on the first two because he was in a new place with new rules) but overall, i think he is pretty well housebroken. and there is NO food aggression and only a slight amount of "toy jealousy" with them, which were really, my only worries. i really think you can get over all the other obsticles when it comes to dogs getting along if they can eat their own food and play with their own toys.

wow. all i talk about are dogs! i can't wait for a month or so to go by and they are a *little* bit calmer. and i have already noticed some changes in Dahlia in terms of not pooping in the house and getting more tired in the evenings.

other things:

top 12 in idol is going to be good. although i do think some of the girls got sent home too early, it was a tough choice because there were more then 6 girls overall who were pretty good.

LOST still blows my mind, pretty much weekly. i just love it. i don't care what other people think, i love everything they do on that show. i trust the process entirely.

i need to keep up the photoblog, new dog or not.

when the fuck is it going to stop raining? if this is because of global warming, i might have to get on board with all that environment crap.

in that same token, still no flooding in the basement. so yay for that. i guess if there wasn't this much rain, we would have to wait and worry about our new "anti-flooding your basement and ruining your shit" system.

i say this a lot, but i really need to start painting. i also need to clean my basement, since it still has moving boxes. and i think it would be nice to have a clean basement.

ok, i am going to go and wake bryan up with the dogs. good times.

MEET DEXTER!

2008-03-02T02:23:32Z

or Dex for short! so far the two dogs are getting along, although Dahlia keeps staking her claim, but dex is pretty good at putting up with her!

he is a cocker mixed with maybe a hound of some sort and maybe even a tiny bit of golden...but we aren't sure about that, it might just be the haircut.

(also, he has what look like fur booties on because he was very matted and they shaved everything but his feet. we will probably be getting that done soon.)
