Sunday Snapshots

I have been taking a lot of pictures lately, I felt like I should share with you my week in pictures......

 

Last week Comedy Central premeired  Chris Hardwick's Standup special, Mandroid. Tim and I were lucky enough to score tickets back in February of last year. It was quite hilarious and I suggest you check it out. 

Also last week I did an Owl themed storytime. I needed some owl finger puppets to go along with it. 

My hair was getting pretty long. I was sporting a serious duck tail! I finally went to Bella Filia and got my hair chopped off. I feel like its shortest its ever been and I was a bit nervous as she was cutting. I always get nervous, but it always comes out great. 

My friend Laura has been wanting to learn how to sew for a while. She mentioned that she wanted to take her Mom's old concert T-shirts (mostly Bruce Springstein) and turn them into a quilt. So we met up and I helped her create a game plan! Glad to say the quilt is in progress and should be ready for her Mom as a Christmas present. 

Thanksgiving is in a few days. I am so excited to be not only hosting my first family holiday, but also having my Dad here! I have been preparing and decorating a bit. This subway art was on pinterest and I printed out a copy and it looks pretty fancy on my little mantle area. Here is the post if you would like to make one yourself! 

Last week we hung out one night at my friend Tyler's. I have been friends with him since Kindergarten and we were even in a band together durring High School. We were called the Helicopters, he sang/played guitar while I played drums. It was a lot of fun and while I traded my drums in for a sewing machine, Tyler is still playing music. This was taken in his basement as a bunch of us were just randomly jamming with his stuff. 

I had gotten this Star Wars wrapping paper from Louisa. While I was at their house I needed some wrapping paper to wrap a  present. Louisa has a box of wrapping stuff and this stuff was in there, unopened! She said I could keep it and I have been hanging on to it ever since. Its been a couple of years and I am in a moral dilema. I got my first Whimsey Box last week, in it were materials to make coasters. I am thinking about using the wrapping paper for it, but do I really want to open up the sacred wrapping paper?! I don't know! If you have any thoughts, please feel free to comment. 

New Years Resolutions

Now that 2012 is here, what is going to make this year different?

• Increase productivity
• Limit procrastination
• Don't loose my head while writing my thesis

What will help me achieve these goals this year? Why i am glad you asked!

For Christmas I received The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (In Real Live) by Chris Hardwick. A NERDIST is defined as "an artful nerd...[that] creates and innovates." The Nerdist Way is a guide book for the nerd herd and explains how they can put their nerdy obsessive ways to good use.




 
I am looking forward to applying nerdisty methods to my crafting obsession as well as other geeky pursuits. Be sure to look for a review of the book coming soon!


What about the rest of yas ? Resolutions, anyone ? Leave a comment!

Doug <3 Movies

May 21. The best last day of the world ever! Me and the hubbins went to the city. We were very excited to see Doug Loves Movies. If u don't know what it is and u like to laugh...shame on u. To quickly get u up to speed it is a hilarious podcast hosted by comedian Doug Benson...and he loves movies. He always has comedians on and they joke about movies and play the Lenard Maltin game. Just go download it!
Anywho, so we got into the city and Tim was starting to get cranky. That means we needed to find some lunch pronto. So we decided on shake shack because it is numerlicious. But on the way there we ran into this weird street fair/food festival in Madison square park..and ba dang dang my tastebuds went to pleasure town. I got an amazing savory truffle mozzarella crepe from a place called bar Suzette. They also had this fried that looked amazing...sadly did not get them :( I. Will have to hunt this place down and get them. Then Tim got this briased sandwhichy thing that was pretty good. We also washed down our meal we these neato sodas with the result of delicious. It was quite a nice surprising thing to come across in the city. We had some time to kill so we hung around the park by this freaky head statue....

Then we made our way over the Gramacy theater. I look forward to listening to Doug Loves Movies every Friday and eases the pain of going to work :( the show was great and really funny as per usual. It was weird to see it in person. I was glad to actually see the physical gags I always get left out of in the audio version. I made a scott pilgrilm name tag sadly I was not chosen :(
I had hunch Chris Hardwick would be one of the guests and ta da he was there yay pictured below. It was a hilarious and a great show and am excited to see him when he comes around again. (Both Doug and Chris)
