dearest y'all,

today (at midnight) marks the end of june and one full month of this new blog. I honestly didn't know how I was going to do after making this year long commitment but it's been one full month and I've only missed one day (due to an extreme hangover) and I have to say that I've impressed the fuck out of myself here... I usually screw off after a few weeks of committing to something, i hated homework in school, not married, no kids, many career changes, automatic pet food dish dispensers, you get the idea... but I'm going to stick with this.

I know it's not very many but with just over 2500 hits on this site since the 1st of June i'm feelin' the love. I will admit that I am not really sure WTF I'm doing here. It seems to be a mix-match of garbage and pointless bullshiat but alas it's my junk. I just hope you feel it or at least some of it anyways.

one last thing... i just want to give a special shout-out to my lovely girls wiggy and nadine who I'm sure rocked at least 1900 of the hits here thus far. LOL everyday you two ask for more blog. you are my blog sluts and im having shirts made just for you.

Thanks for all the support. You guys ALL rule and i love ya.

janelle.

currently on my playlist

dropkick murphys were just in vancouver. a couple of my friends got tickets. i didn't get to go. bummed about that. anyways, you may remember this song from the departed. great movie. check em out.

will rafuse

for those of you know me well or for those of you who have been to my house you know that i love Will Rafuse. It's everywhere... all of his work, in every room, every print in every series. i cant get enough.

Why have i gone so ape shit over it? I couldn't tell you exactly why I love it so much, it just gives me this feeling when i look at it.

The use of colors and the way he portrays the human face. It's very haunting and yet very friendly. art has a funny way of effecting you. no words should describe it, for if it is really great art then no words could.

i should have tried this. A-dorable. +1

currently on my playlist.

Modestep - Feel Good

i love this video.

a little before and after.

it is truly amazing what make up can do. although i would like to state that these women are equally beautiful with no make up. We all take bad pictures and these magazines eat up the bad shots. poor rich celebrities.

i want to live in Mariah Carey's closet.

this is the adorable new baby room for her twins but it's what is in her closet that makes me long for this diva's lifestyle. not so much the babies.

i fucking hate mondays.

let's just say... this is what it would look like if dawson saw me wake up this morning. yikes.

currently on my playlist.

There's probably only 7 people on earth who actually know what they're doing during the whole smelling, swirling and sipping wine thing.

this is my list.

spring is flavored vodka. white grape, vanilla. mmm

summer is gin. gd, i love gin with loads of mint and fresh lime.

fall is rye, whisky and assorted ports and wine.

winter is always golden, spiced or dark rum and assorted beer.

my birthday is october 5th and we always celebrate with champagne. asti spumante is the equivalent to liquid candy and is most definitely an allowable birthday treat. it's an old italian family tradition and i love tradition.

grilled peaches are the perfect summer treat

my favorite summer snacks.

dessert - hot grilled peaches with fresh cut strawberries and frozen blueberries.

salad - finely chopped mango, red onion, yellow peppers, fresh basil & real crab. chopped mint optional

i love food, but absolutely no preservatives are allowed on this diet. it feels good.

BBQ your peaches in wedges or slices. it doesn't take long. if you are not watching your calories then you can use thick maple syrup to glaze. a never fail is sprinkling brown sugar on top and placing under broiler for 1-3 minutes. keep watch. it caramelizes quickly. this is good on a baked salmon as well.

ice cream or fresh whip cream optional.

just watched this movie in german with english subtitles. turns out there was an english version. fek, i can be a dumbass sometimes. anyways, i give it 2 lollipops. that's a double thumbs up.

All out of clean spoons so i guess i'll have to eat this fat free yogurt with my gun.

seriously enjoying this strict diet. yay.

because its cool to make digital photography look analog.

you may have noticed that the majority of photos on this site are quite colorful, bordered and just different than regular photos really. Well, i'm going to let you in on my little secret... to find out more about the iphone app that i use to bring a kick of life to this silly little blog of mine... check out more.

backyard sunday.

today i intend to plant my ass in my over priced lawn furniture and soak up some much needed sun. i hardly get to use it because I always lose the weather lottery on my days off but today its hot and sunny and some of my flowers are in bloom. something smells highly of Hawaiian Tropic and Gin out here. woo, it's me. i <3 summer.

i want beta to take lessons from this little fartstick. jajajajajajajaja!

watch it now. 

1. wait for the count down.

2. continue as free user.

3. select the black and white box with arrow (not the red circle with the arrow.)

4. close all pop up windows.

5. pause it. you might need to let it buffer.

6. go grab a snack for the show.

 

 watch the trailer.

i really did like this show and my proof is in the fact that I sat still and watched it intently from beginning to end. the last time i did that was for the adjustment bureau which was also a phenomenal movie. i watched it twice. Saioirse Ronan rocked the lovely bones... and now this! I don't think you will be disappointed.

TRY A VIRTUAL MAKEOVER.

nothing says "screw work, and screw personal hygiene" quite like last night's bar stamp on my hand.

raw footage from an idiot.

sent from nadine's iphone

i received this via text. i love how she has decided to film it with her iphone camera instead of just forwarding the link from her computer, the computer she's using to film this.
this is pure. stupid. awesomeness.

is it possible to live through a buck to the face?

roadhouse.

Scientology has spaceships?! Crazy! I'll stick to my guy who parted the sea with his mind.

ever wonder how astronauts poo and pee in space?

this show is really stupid cute and it gets way funnier in the middle. i liked it. i love her. she's adorable in anything she does. i think this is a rental now.

peles castle. romania

Transylvania is the most famous part of Romania, conjuring up images of haunted forests and werewolves, medieval towns, vampires, dramatic mountains and turreted cliff-top castles.

i have always been enchanted with castles and have dreamed of living in one since as long as i can remember. if i had a mega-stash of cake i would  indeed travel the world, touring each castle, the more haunted the better. there are a lot of things i would do if i had loads of cash, castles just top the list.

DIMEBAGGin

Hashtag Hindsight, eh! 

LOST: my child's stroller

will make do in meantime.

"It's my money and I need it now..." ummm, i seriously wanna smack the sh*t out of those actors on that J.G Wentworth commercial.

june 2011.
take a look at our new plastic money.
also the informative video attached. good day.

the change up

COMMON & BRAND NAMES:  Green Fairy; Green Goddess; La Fée Verte

Ive always been fascinated with this, i would buy it for the color alone, it's beautiful. i've seen it many times especially in movies, it's exotic and sexy and it screams to me as i pass by it's shelf at the liquor store yet i know very little about it.

I've heard it makes you high, or it alters your perception, i've even heard it makes you super shitfaced then sick. The preparation alone intimidates me, what if i blow up the glass. I don't have that spoon thingy and a fork just seems blasphemous. I've always been naive to this drink and so I took a moment to read up on what exactly this is and what makes it so different.

 

birthday want.

WHO DOESN'T LOVE A GOOD TREASURE HUNT?

UNCHARTED3 for PLAYSTATION

ps username: meatcapes

double digest.

garrett hedlund

garrett hedlund as beau in country strong seems to be my girlfriend nadine's current infatuation, it fluctuates randomly with her, between real life men and real life unobtainable men in character. 
Anycrap, Dude has an awesome deep voice and there is nothing better than when a guy can sing AND play the guitar to his girl. Right?

Nah, you're not crazy at all jols just like you're not 35 ;)

lately ive been thinking... red.

RYAN DUNN

June 11, 1977 – June 20, 2011

 an american reality television personality and daredevil best known for being a member of The Jackass Crew as well as a cast member on viva la bam. Dunn was found dead after a car crash that occurred at about 3 a.m. in Pennsylvania. identified only by his tattoo's in a burning car wreck, his passenger has yet to be identified. Ryan had taken photos hours earlier of himself drinking. it is estimated that he was going over 180 clicks when his porche went off the road and took flight through trees hitting one and exploding on impact.

 

my heart broke a little this morning when my brother dave woke me up with this news. we all do stupid things, provided he did a little more than normal, he truly lived doing what he loved.
that's what counts. don't let life pass you by. it's too short.

TMZ <-- some photos and wreckage video.

sigh, i am going to go wash my dishes with tears now and then do some retard yoga outside. i say retard only becuase i look like one doing it... currently perfecting the 'suck my dick, jesus.' scheduled for later this afternoon: jammer strength coffee and a little base jumping off the trenant park safeway. hospital photos to follow.

carpe diem.

currently on my playlist. leon redbone.

 

i'd let leon redbone stick his finger in my plop plop.

also on my playlist. nikka costa

delicious. she is greatness and i love.

so have i for you

There are assholes, and then there are people who dress their animals.

to say 'i love animals' is an understatement but sometimes what's best has to come before what they want. beta hates her outfits. i agree it is stupid to dress-up your dog but beta isn't dressed like that everyday. 

 
put it this way.. what if you took a huge Fred Flintstone size steak and threw it in some snow. Doink, yeah I know it's no scientific comparison by any means, animals maintain a body temperature while a steak is just a piece of meat, but she's 4 lbs and must get cold. i get cold for fuck sakes and i'm 116 lbs.

BETA  also does this thing with my mom where she starts to limp. my mother immediately drops everything and acts like i have beaten the shit out of my dog. beta gets this attention and ends up leaving with Adriana for the night. 

Er, what's that? yes that's a sombrero. it was a gift and you can't tell me that she doesn't look freaking adorable wearing it. oh come on, she doesn't wear it every day. just for photos.

look how much she hates me right now. i love it.

the end.

Tsunami Caught on Camera

Tsunami Caught on Camera   <-- watch it now.

Saturday June 18 at 10 pm ET & Sunday June 19 at 8 pm ET on CBC News Network - The Passionate Eye.

This is the incredible story of the people who lived through the 2004 tsunami, told using their own words and videos.

i will admit, while i currently watch this and type to you that i am pretty emotional, it is truly amazing to watch.

side note: if my bf Darrell says "LOOK" all panicky one more time i'm gonna fucking lose it.

warning: watching stuff like this makes me cunty. same goes for horror movies. dont talk or ask questions if you wanna live.

2 more sleeps until father's day...

happy father's day rosie o'donnell

one of life's finer pleasures.

pardon me, would you have any grey poupon?
but of course...

home.

if you like gamer nerds then you're gonna love me.
ps3 username: meatcapes. add me yo.

i heart strawberries.

organic strawberries are the best by far. i ate this one. yummm.

oh caffeine, you never fuck me like you used to......

it's been hard enough this past week.
i've been a very good girl on a very strict diet.
no room for error. 100% no fun. no exceptions. BOME. DONE.
i am very strong but when the gods through obvious signs of my preferred treat right in my face, that's just playing down right dirty.

better than chocolate (cadbury is pretty darn good tho), better than ice cream... it's liberte. Mmmm.

if you love yogurt and haven't tried liberte you should probably stop everything you are doing and go get some. it is so effing good it's just dumb; only one itsy bitsy little warning... you will gain one pound per spoonful.

mediterranean liberte cherry is my absolute favourite.
i love cherry anything really... unfortunately, no cherries allowed whilst on said diet. waaah. wah. fwap.

bad start to the day.
must pass truck. must get to work.

superman test.

do you think you have what it takes to spot the difference?
there is only one and according to studies only 10% of you can find it.
Now, if you think you are ready to beat the superman test:

1. take a good long look at this picture. study it well.
2. when you are ready just click 'check out more'.

honestly, i couldn't find it... good luck.

i cant stop watching this trailer.
this movie looks insane.
release date: August 2011

here comes the baby with the stupid name.

breaking dawn part one.
uh, uh, uh! dry humps. excited.
release date: November 2011.
date with jols?

sitting right next to my gate.

a sad story.

i recently switched to herbal essences and have discovered that I do not have a clit on the top of my head... but holy shit does that stuff make your hair smell great. PINK!

nailed it.

the black label collection

Um, you should see my face right now (tears falling)… I’m all choked up over these gorgeous pieces of artwork. That’s right, Gianmarco Lorenzi heels are fucking amazing, stunning, unique and unfortunately extremely pricey... but that's just another trait about a work of art that leaves you speechless!

my all time favourite designer

jenny packham

absolutely everything that she designs infects me with pure unadulterated ecstasy immediately followed by the longing to buy it and put it in my closet.

it's time for shade

my beautiful and totally perfect modelesque girlfriend, Azra, showed up during my shift yesterday sporting the most awesome pair of bvlgari sunglasses. i doted over them for awhile before i was informed that they were a gift from her fabulous heart throb of a boyfriend.

it reminded me of how badly i needed a pair of bvlgari sunglasses so i took a fifteen and did a little internet shopping and am now waiting patiently for a cobalt pair similar to the pair you see above to arrive.

bvlgari sunglasses range from: $250. to $1200.-

current financial status: broke.

and i quote...

okay, so from time to time i am going to write about my beautiful and talented 11 year old god-daughter kennedy and her hilarious out of the blue comments.

shall we being here? i dare say we shall.

[setup: kennedy enters the living room holding a teen bop/pop/whatever page photo of 'the biebs' ripped down the side with several amounts of scotch tape dangling off the corners.]

me: what are you doin?
kennedy: mom is making me clean my room for my birthday sleep over and im taking down some old pictures.

[lull in conversation while she re-examines said picture.]

kennedy: im gonna go put this one back up though because he really likes to watch me change.
me: hmmm.


later that night i posted a picture of keanu reeves in my bedroom. it made me so uncomfortable everytime i dropped my drawers that it lasted all of three days before i moved it to the wall at the back of my closet.

the end.

16 more sleeps.

care for a little true blood?
catch the season 4 premiere on HBO canada june 26th at 9pm.

so great. i laugh everytime.

the momoa file.

i'm infatuated with these two.

bleasdale cabernet sauvignon

marvelous cherry undertones with a hint of dubonnet.
reasonably priced.

i hate dishes.

a retrodorable idea for your kitchen in three simple steps.

1. find an old fashion glass bottle. think vintage pop bottles.

2. fill it with the color dish soap of your choice.

3. slam a liquor bottle pour spout on the top.

BOME! done. adorable & affordable.

I've been dispensing my dish soap like this for as long as i can remember. i love vintage so the contrast of the teal soap behind the red label on the bottle in my kitchen just does it for me, but you could do what my girl natalie does and opt to load a vintage orange crush bottle with orange dish soap... creative freedom, folks. honestly, there is no wrong here.

use assorted vintage wine bottles for your detergents, cleaning products & bath soaps.
