Cuz It's Ricky

and other things as well...

Is it so wrong?

To lust after inanimate objects? Boots to be more precise? MENS Boots? Ruff and tumble Clockwork Orange vibed boots.
Romper stomper boots.Boots that bring out my inner butch-bitch.
boots that say "Don't fuck with me!" Boots that I'd wear til they fell
off my feet in shreds.
Thank Buddha they are sold out. And that I don't have 600 plus bucks to
blow on them.
Yes, you read right, 600 smackers. for boots buffed with used motor oil for that designer " I don't care" attitude. Tiny bits of metal infused into the leather, for that "set off the airport security alarms " effect.

Designer wish list indeed.





"Nice Collective hand-made leather combat boot. This limited Scrap Metal version is hand-buffed with used motor oil and infused with tiny scraps of engine metal. The Scrap Metal Boot features a comfy athletic insole fused to leather."

Busy crafty day today. My brain is fried.Now all I'm thinking about
is Indian food,and actually talking to another human being.
(Loaning a can opener to my next door neighbor does not count...)
Sometimes I get all cooped up in my apt. working on schtuff, and next
thing I know, a whole day has gone by without actually talking to anyone.

THERE'S CAKE!!!!!!



http://webegirls.com/?p=3460

Give it UP

Some days you just KNOW not to do anything that requires your brain to work, you to move too much,or interact with too many people. Today is one of those days.
I did go out to run an errand and grab breakfast/lunch, but quickly realized
that I should get home as fast as possible,with as little human interaction as possible. I want to spare you all, AND me,from any possible contamination from
my sleep deprived, addled brain, the synapse's are misfiring left and right.
DUCK!

This is what I get for weekend debauchery ,culminating in getting to bed at 2 in the morning both nights. I NEVER stay up that late. Yes it was for good reasons,
(VERY good reasons) but still, I should know better.And yes, I would do it again.
Nice to know my priorities are in the right place...
I have to go nap now, and get my head on straight ,before I say or do something
evil.


Side note. I haven't mentioned him in ages. Since we actually haven't spoken in ages. But just as I thought he was totally done with me, forgotten, over me, recovered, he pops his cute little Irish head up again from the ex-bf OOZE....
Yes Eric, I still think of you, but you HAVE to get it through your beautiful
ginger locked head that It IS over between us. We are TOO toxic for each other!

Why should we torment each other with the past, the passion was just too great.
We imploded in the flames! You know I needed my creative space,needs you could not meet. We'll always have Paris.(And that certain dressing room at the GAP)But ,alas
it cannot be. Torment yourself ,and me,no longer. A clean break is always best.
If we meet again, we both know it could only end in passionate immolation.
Best you stay on board the Battleship Gallactica. Best I stay in my fortress
of comic book solitude....thinking of what could have been ,but was impossible.

Peace always Eric.I will always keep you in my heart.

too pretty to eat WARNIING GEEK OUT AHEAD!

O.K so after a lunch of sushi at SUSHI DEN with the ol' sister today
and running errands, I swung by KEEGAN GERHARD's D BAR DESSERTS on 17th
today. Hey,there was a parking space right in front,how could I NOT swing by.
I kept hearing and reading so much about the place. And hell,I think
Keegan is cute. Anyway, in I go,and wow,there he is,working on a cake order.
Not just ANY cake order, a SPECIAL cake order, a SPECIAL, GEEK OUT cake to meet
ALL GEEK OUTS. A STAR TREK ENTERPRISE MODEL CAKE! MY geeky heart did a double skip,
as I had a moment of panic set in ,all smoothness gone.
"Don't get all goofy now Patty, be cool, it's cool", whispered my innerself..
I sidled up to the counter and perused the menu,and ordered the mac and cheese with panko crumbs and salad combo..and the ,"OH yeah one of THOSE too" aside to the semi-disinterested,but polite waitstaff,pointing to the case filled with glimmering,glowing cupcakes ,cookies,and all manner of
Sugar coma inducing treats.
A Vanilla square cupcake...Wintery sugar coolness in a paper wrapper,snowflake on top.

I sat down at the bar,to wait for the order, mere inches away from Keegan and assistant working feverishly on the cake.
Smoothing the white chocolate over and over the hull of the ship, schematic plans at the ready.Obviously well researched.
After about 5 minutes of smoothing he notices me sitting there, motions to the waiter ,sees I'm waiting for take out and I use the opportunity to chime in.."Nice cake".
yes ,he acknowledges. "And I should know," I add, "I'm an old Start Trek geek.."
"Oh you are are you?" Keegan responds with a grin.
And thus the conversation turns to how much research he put in..how much I bet he knows about the ship ,MORE than he wanted to know..etc...on it goes.with some instruction to construction, materials used, what he plans to do for the sides, decals, base, hull, etc....a full blown CAKE/ STAR TREK GEEKARAMA on it went for another full 5 glorious minutes..He hands me some of the white chocolate they use to model with and explains how he likes to work with it..he was a very cool guy.
I almost wanted to say "Teach me oh master the way of the cake.."
But I held back.

Bag of noodlie lactose challenging warmth handed to me, I said my goodbyes, he grins and waves goodbye.....

I have to go now..the soft whispers of a cushy ,sweet cupcake are beckoning me
to the kitchen.

I'll let you know how it is.

time to pray.....

No ,no, It's SUSHI day!
Have a spectacular weekend ,whatever you do.



music of the day: DUh
food of the day: again, duh
mood of the day: ornery,and dangerous

I dunno..

...because he soothes me. Maybe THAT'S why. All I know is,is that is all

with the above post. I just like it.

Oh it MOVES!

HI , my name is Ingrid. I am a super
angsty,hipster gurl.


I am a cute kitty grab-a-coin-bank.

You ever had a friend in your life that just seems to
KNOW when you need a little cheering up, or encouragement?
Who seems to surprise you with such little gifts of
cuteness and happy? Who's in tune to what pushes
your 'cheer-up,happy face,cool' button?
We may be hundreds of miles apart, and not talk
much on the phone, but Stephanie and I seem
to be on such a wavelength. Mutual love of all
that is cool, comics, sushi, funness,Godzilla,
can bring one together. A "we are in this
crazy thing together" sort of gal. We both have dealt
with the ups and downs of life. Always lending an ear to
the other. And shes never one to forget
a friend. She's a keeper that gal! I never did sometimes seem
to make friends easily,so she's extra special to me.
Love ya girl!
oxoxox

I forgot

I was so busy with my day of accomplishing nothing I forgot to
post. Now I have no ideas, so here is a little bunny...
a MANIC looking bunny. He is waving frantically at you
to pay attention to his little evil bunny ways.

Please wave back.
Thank you.

Go here. Now.

sniff sniff

Brrrrrr

Hello ice, hello sliding around on the roads last night so bad I was wondering
if even a good meal of Indian food was worth it.( It was not.)
Now it's so sunny out and still freezing. I kinda like that conflicting
weather scenario. I can run outside and as long as I'm in the sun, it's great!

I was apt. bound for a few days so I shall be venturing out.
I also am miffed at myself for botching an art project commission so badly
that I have to start all over. This is what I get for trying to do
things in a style that is not ME.

(detail before I even wrecked it further..sigh,o.k but not what I was going for at all.)



Something that I am trying to embrace in all aspects of my life.
I never really was a conformist in my heart, so why even pretend to
try now. hee hee. Take it or leave it I suppose.


music of the day: assorted
food of the day: now I'm dreaming of Indian food
mood of the day: chilly in soul ,but warm at heart

snow!

Ya ya..It's Denver, so yes, we get snow.
THIS however has NOTHING to do with snow.
It's just more fun to look at.
And since I'm knee deep in an actual commission piece,( yes ,I DO take those,hint hint) this
is what you get today.

Enjoy. HI Bettie!



music of the day: Pet Shop Boys
food of the day:Indian tonight..mmmmmm perfect for cold weather
mood of the day: ironic

Whats a day without...

...a little Sweaty Gary Numan?

Art day:

.
I'm a bit too happily spent to post anything else here, nuf said.

aheeeeeen..
Everyone likes pie. I like Blueberry and Pumpkin best. What do YOU like?


music of the day: NIN, Pet Shop Boys, Belle and Sebastian, The Smiths
food of the day: who can eat, day three of IBS hell
mood of the day: satiated ,refreshed, spunky fun!

Well..

..there goes THAT thought that I would post every day.

Ah, notice I didn't call it a resolution. Safer that way that I will
actually do it. Of course in this case, NOT!

Don't forget a new comic every Monday at Webegirls.com

Sunny and mild out, who can stay indoors on a lovely day like today?
I'm going to a dark movie theater. Bwahahah.


music of the day: Gary Numan /pure
food of the day: George Clooney
mood of the day: feeling back pain retreating is a good thing.

BECAUSE IT'S GREAT:

NEW YEAR ,New stuff

"Look up in the sky tonight.
Have a moment for yourself"

These were the words that came out of my fortune cookie
last night. Fortuitous indeed, for I had already gone outside
to admire ,and photograph the full blue moon. And think a bit.
About last year,what I accomplished and what I didn't. What mattered
to me and what didn't.
What I would change and let change organically in my life.
Everything ebbs and flows and I find some of that works pretty well for me.
Other changes I will have to work hard at,and make stronger efforts.

So as I blew off the holiday parties last night,and settled in for a quiet
night of Chinese food, full moons, Animal House on the idiot box and chatting with old friends,
I felt calm ,and hell,pretty content.
I also looked over my blog and saw that my original intent
was no longer valid in a way. My comic pursuits, and priorities have changed
a bit.(Along with my perfect noodle bowl find accomplished.)So I see this page evolving as I
find myself evolving. I hope the ride is enjoyable. But to be sure,comics
and my assorted doodles will always find a place here.I'll always be a goofy girl and
not prone to much public displays of schmaltz and introspection.

So last night,near midnight, tucked in a snugly bed chatting on the
phone with an old friend strengthening our friendship in that slightly
tipsy stupor that happens with champagne and Chinese food,wishing
each other great things in the coming year, I dozed off to sleep
excited about tomorrow.




music of the day: The Who QUADROPHENIA! PLAY VERY LOUD!!!!!
food of the day; leftover Chinese and leftover kisses
mood of the day: refreshed and achy in a good way


amusing side note : if you google 'leidy porno' in a euro country

something I should know?

another side note: do not put on hand cream then type on yer mac keyboard,the letters DO fade off after a while..*shit*
