Boom goes the dynamite

Because I want to be like Rachel... part 2

I love Mindy Kaling, Rachel doesn't own the rights to loving MK :)

P.S. Not bashing Rachel, just happened to see an Amy Poehler picture collage AND a post by Mindy in the same week that she found a different Amy Poehler collage and a different post by Mindy Kaling and then blogged them.

Because I want to be like Rachel...

The many UCB faces of Amy Poehler...

You can also view the slideshow here... http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/09/poehlerucb.html#photo=1x00008 

If you have never watched UCB with Amy then you are missing out BIG time... if you live close enough to me I might lend you my season 1 dvds.

I really wish I was using my free time to find some new music, but the last time I went hunting I couldn't find a thing!  Now I am convinced the music I like has become extinct, just like giggle noodle (if you don't know what that is, then I might have to stop liking you).

In other news, because the internet is taking over the world, I have to wait for items to be shipped before I continue my arts and crafts project for the summer.

I have started another fun crafty thing, but it is for someone's birthday so I can't go into too many details :)  After said gift is given, I will post some pictures.

Updates

My craft project has taken a turn because my parents have cut down a huge maple tree and I have been helping with the clean up.  Today I moved an entire tree stump... sure it was in smaller more manageable pieces, but I still moved it, so its a pretty big deal :)  Since my last post a lot has happened in the world of pop culture, and ITS ALL CONNECTED!!!!  First: Zooey Deschanel's website (along with friends) HelloGiggles  started the most amazing trend in the world: VChat karaoke... I think this is such a great idea, and if I was friends with Zooey D I'd make her sing all the time so it just all makes perfect sense.  Second, Parks & Recreation was nominated for an Emmy.  Guys, I cannot explain how amazing that is, because this show is soooo funny.  It started off slow and the first season was really a bust but everything they have put out since is comedy gold.  I'm saying right here right now that I'd let the tv world cancel Community, Modern Family AND The Office if it would let that show be on the air for the next 10 years.  One of my least favorite characters on P&R (now one of my favorite) is played by Ben Schwartz, who happened to do a karaoke video WITH ZOOEY... BOOM.  This is the cutest thing in the world, and I have listened to it waaay too much.


Even when I wasn't a big fan of Jean-Ralphio (Character played by Schwartz) I still loooooved this scene:


Now that those videos are out of my system and out into the blogosphere, my next post will be all about the Women's World Cup and how amazing it has been this year.

Love love love.  Peace.

Braves game last night....

decisions decisions

 Figured it out yet?  Read this posting first?  Whatevs.  Since my last posting, I have decided to also do a lamp because the one in the photo is amazing.  I have also found out that there is lead strips that mimic the soldering of stained glass, so it will look legitimate!  (Note to all readers: I will NEVER say legit... I am not 14 or McHammer).
Since I decided to make the lamp as well, it was really easy to pick the colors/texture/transparency for the other yet to be named project because I want to keep the more opaque samples for the lamp.  So here are the colors for the other project, these are somewhat blurry, not completely transparent.

This is the pattern that the above colors will follow (I only had these colors for paper, obviously green and yellow will replace one of the blues and the purple).

These two photos are to show you the difference between the transparency of each type of film.  You can see that the first one would be way better for a project that is backlit.  I mad the last photo larger so you can see its not completely transparent - it has a blurry look to it.

So like I mentioned, super excited... I suppose the idea that the fun part was free doesn't hurt.  Also, I like making things, but often I am not talented enough to do so - this project seems to be right in my wheelhouse.
