Buffy

We finished watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer last week. All 7 seasons. i dint like the last few nearly as much as the earlier seasons. also, Buffy gets freaky skinny. go watch some of season one, then watch season 7. Hollywood got to her. as it often does with new, young, pretty actresses. one day you look at them and they are these weird emaciated, freakishly makeuped women. it usually means they have lost alot of their charm.

In an effort to see Angel less mopey, we started watching Angel this week. the sun set/ rising flashes to show the change of days is HILARIOUS. who the hell though that shit up?

i ordered the first season of Bones from the library like... 6 months ago. literally. i am still like 14 on the list. they must only own one copy.

if you ever want to see her: she walks north bound on the east side of federal Blvd. i always see her approaching 84th ave. about 7:30 am.

out side f or a bit.

took a trip to ... west Arvada, yesterday to take some photos. it was really beautiful out and i got to spend a couple hours wandering around a pasture with some horses and a cute kid, who was larger than life.

cultural excursions.

due to my recent Derby Break Up and the holiday weekend, Tim and I found ourselves with nothing to do on Sunday. [by nothing, i mean avoiding laundry, grocery shopping- etc.]

We decided to head to the Denver Art Museum to see the Psychedelic Poster Exhibit. Featuring posters from San Francisco from 1964 - 71. I pre-viewed this show last Wednesday while i was down town for jury duty and thus had a free pass to the museum. I knew Tim wanted to go, but i was not sure we would make it before the show closed.
This show was the best I have ever seen at DAM. I think I usually go in with expectations of some kind- but this show I had no idea what there was supposed to be.
There were easily a couple hundred posters on display. they were arranged in chronological order and grouped by artist. Meaning that you could see how style changed as a whole over time and also the progress of the artist.
I love this style of poster. But have never seen enough of it to get a good feel for the concept and how and why things were arranged the way they were. I have actually been trying to do a t-shirt screen for work that had this feeling. at the time i searched endlessly for good examples and found nothing. to day i looked and you can see it all. maybe its popular again. more so this year than last year.

to continue our cultural escapades we headed to the movie theater for one of the multitudes of showings of Transformers II.
we knew it would be non coherent. it seemed long to me. probably because it was all shiny fighting, and i didn't give a shot about if anyone involved succeed in what ever it was they were trying to accomplish. [i was a bit fuzzy on that too.] Then we enjoyed spending over an hour pointing out loop holes and a so forth total bashing of the film.

it was a good day.

the 4th

we had a good 4th. though i got my camera out too late, as many people had headed out already.
bocci!
the ax doesnt need to be that sharp...

where did those bunny ears come from?

the neighborhood.

went for a walk tonight in shorts and a tee shirt.

boy am i popular.

clearly big butt, big thighs and big boobs are all you need...

in a primarily Mexican neighborhood.

rocks

we visited the Natural History Museum last weekend. One of my absolute favorite areas to go is the Gem and Mineral Hall. i guess you would call it a hall... i don't know what else you would call it.

anyway, i love petrified wood and things like geodes. yes i even have a shitty rock collection at home, probably wrapped up in a box.

i found this on Esty.com to day. my heart swoons.

company picnic

i just received my official invite for the summer company picnic.

it starts out by proclaiming: FOOD, SUN, AND lots n' lots of FUN!

"The park offers large grassy areas, a large pond with pedal boats [for a fee], lengthy sidewalks, basketball courts, a huge playground, and volleyball nets. Fishing is aloud. Some equipment will be provided but feel free to bring your own "toys" if you wish. Bring plenty of sunblock."

Boy! Gee whiz! a park with grass and lengthy sidewalks! what are we waiting for?

"toys" I'm going to assume we are referring to fishing gear in the sentence.

cant wait.

really amazing. high on my list of impressive things from the internet today.

this is such a weird title. really it should be SUPER DUPER COOL PENCIL CARVING SCULPTURES. in caps. just like that.

break up

i walked away from Derby yesterday.

i can still drop in on the rec. league practices. for 2 reasons i will probably do this: 1. if everything suddenly stops hurting, i will know and can decided to return to regular derby. and 2. to remind my self just how much it hurts to skate.

i am sad.

i also think i will have time to make a pie and organize my recipes this week. maybe i will get really crazy and clean out the car too.
