What kind of typeface are YOU?

Here's a sneak preview of some new jewelry I'll be making. As far as my answer goes for the question above.. I've been diggin' Century Gothic lately. For reals.

Welcome to the Mod House

Here's a new logo I designed for my 'casino' project for Mike Lynch's class. It's my last quarter.. and I'm kinda freaking out guys! As you can tell.. it's a 'mod' themed casino, folks!

Upon looking at this again.. I need to move the letters around so they are not touching each other. I designed the type myself, too. Likey?

Just some random photos via ffffound that'll make you say "hmmm" "wow" "oh no they did-nt!" or just "gasp!" Take a mini-visual vacay.. on my dime. Not really.. but do it. NOW. I am your Domina. Okay.. I've been watching Spartacus and apparently it's having an effect on me.

for Joy.. we love/hate crows/ravens.

Because we all know it's all about the Cali Buds!

I will miss you Coachella! Next year...

You gotta love this no matter what.

I will EAT them if you are bad. I am your Domina!

Don't hate. No on Prop 8!

Don't cry. I love facials.

Love,

Kitty von Tease

Dada in my life for a night

and what I really mean is: DADA Life, from Sweden. And like the saying goes: "All good things come from Sweden." Last Saturday was officially my last night on my own 'vacation.' Matthew was away for an ENTIRE week so that meant.. my very own staycation in San Diego. Upon reflection, it really was a weekend of DJs'! Thursday night was Drop the Lime and Saturday night was DADA Life. Not that my weekend revolved around them.. just that I was surrounded by my crazy, fierce friends and great music. Best combo ever.. dance! dance! dance! (insert fist pumps)

The one thing that stood out that night was bananas. In the literal term.. champagne and bananas! From the mouth of DADA Life DJ Olle himself, "It's on our rider. Champagne and bananas. Or else, we don't play." Don't you just love a man who speaks with authority? Yes and please. Needless to say.. we danced the night away DADA Life style.. after-partied in North PB at "Baby's" house, chatted it up.. and ended up crashing at my bfff Tarin's air mattress. And guess what I had to do the very next day? Eat some yummy crab at Crab Hut for my dad's birthday. Although a bit hungover, I was still able to enjoy the meal and greet my wonderful father a very happy 59th birthday.

Friday Funday

I loved today. It was just like any other ordinary day but today was different. As always, I woke up at 4am, hot.. then cold again. then hot.. then cold again. The cycle begins of sleeplessness. I fight this everyday.. sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. Today was not one of this mornings. I slept for a couple more hours and ever so often wake up- see my kitty Lux at my feet and my most handsome boyfriend lying next to me and I smile. I love my life and I am so content at that very moment.. it's really what I live for everyday. So I will tell you my most perfect morning.

I wake up, turn to my side and put my arm around Matthew. I kiss him good morning and take the biggest whiff of pheromones that I can get from him. He's still sleeping but it's 'wake-up' time. Snuggle here.. snuggle there. Inappropriate touching in between. Now we are both awake. I ask him if it's coffee time and he says yes. This is the time that I start being the busy little bee I just love to be. Get up.. wash dishes.. boil water.. prepare the coffee to steep. What should we have for breakfast? I decide on Matthew's favorite (English) breakfast. Beans, toast, and eggs. My secret to great beans? Fry up some bacon ahead of time until they are crisp. Add crumbled bacon to the beans right before serving. Another little secret? Brown sugar. Yumm! We have breakfast and it is just delicious! I don't have any toast, however, because I'm currently trying to cut down on carbs. Sad story. But bikini season IS coming soon! If not already here in Sunny Diego! So after breakfast, Matthew had the most fabulous suggestion:

Matt: Do you want to do something today?

Me: Yes!

Matt: Let's go to Cabrillo today. It's a nice day out and I've never been before.

So off we went to Cabrillo National Monument. We got there and took the scenic drive down to the cliffs. Vantage points galore.. surrounded by tide pools! There were plenty of snails, barnacles, and California mussels to see. All that paired along with the beautiful sun gracing us with her warmth and light-- I was in heaven.

After we left we stopped by Kragen to pick up some brake lights that ironically both of our cars needed. Left brake light. We get home.. and we fix our brake lights and I start making us lunch. I had some pork chops in the fridge so I made pan-grilled pork chops with roasted vegetables. For an appetizer, I made garlic-jalapeno cheese bread. We only had one pepperoni left so only one of the breads had the yummy pepperoni on it. It was like a mini pizza!

Okay. I'm sorry if I bored you to death. But this is what makes my life worthwhile. The love of my life, my furry best friend Lux, and good food.

Oh.. and duh! My crazy friends! Hell-oooooh?! Can't forget those lovelies.

Bag of feathers to the head....

So April 3 was International Pillow Fight Day this year. Don't be fooled, this IS a real event! And since the advent of social media outlets.. this event has grown exponentially. If you are interested in having your city participate next year, go to IPFD's website and sign up to help organize the event!

A friend of mine, Jason Kirk (also a fellow Capricorn,) helped film correspondence for a series called "Attack of the Show" on G4 TV for the event held here in San Diego. Now check out his reporting chops... hehehehhe
