cow's new toy

ok, so what if all i talk about is cow??

i have a good story for you!

yesterday before school, i was in my room getting ready when kelly knocked on my door and asked if he could put the cat in my room.  i said that was fine and asked why.  kelly went on to explain that cow had just come out from under the TV stand with......a dead bird.  

this immediately makes me laugh and then i have a few questions:

1.  how did a bird get into my eigthth floor apartment?

2.  was the bird alive when it got in?  i supposed it would have to have been....otherwise how would it get in?

3.  did the bird die of natural causes?

4.  do i have a murderer on my hands?!?!?!?

thoughts on these questions is appreciated.

accurate representation?

in case anyone out there still wonders how a girl remains single in slc, the land of plenty... just take a look at this guy.

a prime example of slc bachelors in living color.

he makes me curse.

sedar

kadang2 kita boleh sejenak terpk ..kenapa tuhan bagi pelbagai cabaran or dugaan dalam hidup ..? sbb aku pecaya .. suatu hari nanti tuhan akan tunjuk yg terbaik untuk kita.. setiap manusia ada kesilapan hidup mereka.. kita xboleh lari dari mmbuat dosa btoi x?? tetapi bila kita terus mmbuat kesilapan itu sehingga kn tidak sedar akan kesalahan itu..bemakna..otak manusia itu sudah benak dgn agamanya.. so harap2.. SOMEONE yang perlu igt..even anda ter kandas ke lubang gila2 punya gelap..jgn lupa untuk igt dari mana anda datang.. anda datang dari keluarga apa? anda di besarkan n diajar dgn perlbagai cara ..tetapi bila dh besar.. hidup seperti pencacai piggiran ..tidak memadai untuk menyara ibu bapa anda ..saya tidak kata saya baik.tetapi sejahat2 saya.. saya tdak lah lupa padanya.sbb kita semakin matang.bukan semakin budak2.. kita ada otak untuk pk apa yang terbaik untuk hidup..bukan gegster yang kita nk untuk hidup.if gegster sudah kuat..apa yang lg kuat selain gegster?? jawapan semua atas otak anda.. even anda ada nama.. sekitar sini sahaja? tidak perlu untuk megah tentang hidup ..gegster kerja just **********! bt apa?? huh. hidup kalau hanya nk bt nama mcm hang tuah.. p perang syahid! baru la lmpak anda 2 betoi lelaki.. kalau anda nk hebat sekadar mulut geng agkatan kucing2 biar xpayah.. sedar la ye.. hidup kita just sementara ..xperlu nk megah .owg lain lebih hebat dari anda.cuma anda  perlu lihat n peka sahaja. xperlu nk begaul orang atasan.sbb anda hanya di bawah. (becakap atas dasar kehidupan masyarakat) if nak terasa.sila kan terasa. saya suka jika anda terasa. terima kasih.

week 8

temptation. 

what says temptation like EDEN?! 
taken in phu quoc vietnam, may 2011.

Phu Quoc

pronounced "foo walk" was my mysterious location this past weekend.  i guess i forgot to mention that i was going to be away, but anyway, we had a wonderful weekend at the beach!

phu quoc is located in the very southern tip of vietnam.  it's a small island and it's very lovely!  kelly, leeann, alex and i traveled to this quaint little island on friday after school and came back on sunday night.  we spent the weekend laying on the beach (in the shade but still managing to get sunburns!), driving around the island on motorbikes, and visiting some tourist spots like a pearl farm and pepper farm!  it was wonderful!!

here are a couple shots from our time on the island:

hello phu quoc!

view at the pearl farm

my driver.  mr. kelly.

proof i was there.

and there's leeann!

see me??

red road and green plants everywhere!  beautiful!

leeann at the pepper farm

the beach at our hotel. 

cat? dog? cow??

cow seems to be having a bit of an issue...

it seems that he thinks he is a dog.  and i guess i didn't give him a fair shot...naming a cat "cow".  but seriously!

tonight he was driving kelly nuts as he tried to mark some math.  he kept stealing kels pens and biting his papers.  so i made him a ball out of tin foil for him to chase around the house.  i am NOT kidding you, we are now playing FETCH!  i throw the ball, he runs like a mad man to get it and then he brings it back and drops it on the couch beside me. 

it is SERIOUSLY hilarious! 

and now, after playing a serious game of fetch for the past 20 minutes, he is sprawled out on the kitchen floor on his tummy with his legs spread out wide.  too cute!!  

man i love this cat!

happy memorial day to you.

today's the day we celebrate our heroes for being brave + honorable and protecting us all.

my hero?

cousin sterling in afghanistan.

while it's not possible to say thank you enough times, hopefully a shout out to the blog universe will proclaim it loud and clear:

thank you, cousin! thank you and your fellow soldiers.

... for being braver than i and doing all that you do which allows me to live a comfortable, safe, and happy life without thought or fear.  i'm certain i don't understand the extent of what that means, but i'm grateful for it.

"today is the day we put aside to remember fallen heroes and to pray that no heroes will ever have to die for us again. it’s a day of thanks for the valor of others, a day to remember the splendor of america and those of her children who rest in this cemetery and others. it’s a day to be with the family and remember."

president ronald reagan, 1986 memorial day at arlington cemetery

tribute.to.ryan.

As my mom is off to San Diego on Wednesday to spend some time with our family that recently lost their son, Ryan Tremearne. We decided to put together a scrapbook as a tribute to his life and all the memories with the family. I decided I wanted to paint something to put in the scrapbook so here it is... I got inspiration from his Facebook profile picture.

All I need to do now is add the words.

the good, the bad, and the ugly.

the good:

carrie and adam richins had a baby!  paige vivian was born this morning at 1:30 a.m.!  i don't know how they do it, but they're making the world a cuter, sweeter, better place.  and now they've done it twice.

...

late nights with the girl cousins on the big bed, laughing and crying and poking fun.

...

a spontaneous mid-week ikea visit.  i love those.

...

and we fixed my car! and it only cost $3.  and some slave labor.

...

painting sophie's toes in her sleep.  that wiggly little worm.

...

scoring l.a.m.b. perfume for $19.99 at t.j. maxx.

...

brooke says she's found me my future mate. he's 33, and more importantly, not addicted to porn.  i'll take it.

...

a weekend spent with kai.  and larry + sandy and grandma and the rest of them, i guess.

...

the grass is still green and the peas + strawberries are still growing like mad.  it's practically the garden of eden back there.

...

those sugar cookies.  oh my gosh, those sugar cookies were delicious.

...

blog friend teri invited me out to the j.crew warehouse sale in arden, nc. yes, please! robin, andi, jen... anyone in?

the bad:

aunt sandy found the same l.a.m.b. perfume for $10.00 on the same shelf at the same t.j. maxx and they wouldn't price match me. wwwwhhhaaa?

...

saying goodbye to kai.

...

that drunk guy that called 4 times through the night, using as many curse words as possible, to tell me what he thought about the construction project outside his house.  and then suggested that i told the contractor to be extra horrible and do a really bad job at his house to spite him.  he also claimed i stole his identity.  i mean, that makes total sense.  at midnight.

...

seeing dani and missy for 14 seconds before they left the teton valley.

...

sophie was a little bit cranky on friday.  poor girl.

the ugly:

SOMEONE STOP THE RAIN.

Gapping it...

    

Couple of the ChCh lads did a roadie down to timaru & timuka,Here at fungus we like all members to contribute ( And we actually post pics.... No shit )
so without any more bollocks from me.... Take it away richard..


Temuka, Timaru and the trip there and back....

Well we are getting on to that part of the year when the weather starts to mess with riding, so when the weather man delivered a fine Saturday we packed the ute and hit the road. We met at Lincoln’s bmx party house (the new one!) and the first stop was the bakery to sort out a few hungover/tired players. A bacon and egg pie made me feel better and I wasn’t even crook, gotta love bacon and eggs!
We rolled south under blue skies and sunshine, a quick stop in Ashvegas for energy drinks. The sugar kept the conversation going about video parts and, um, yeah, other video parts! We arrived at Temuka hyped up and ready to ride. It didn’t take long for Dane, Hamish and Tom to start throwing down so I went and dug out the camera. I am no expert with the camera so the pictures may not do the boys justice. Dane had a front peg on so he was pulling sweet smiths everywhere but being Dane he eventually whipped the peg off so he could concentrate on his nose manuals and coaster madness. How he can ride so smooth on a bike that is almost mechanically dead is beyond me... Sorry big guy but its true, you rip and your bike is ill. 

Hamish had ledge stuff on lock plus his bars seemed to need spinning a lot! Watching all those Animal and Skavenger vids is rubbing off on this boiii, plus riding ALL the time. He doubled the rail, smithed down the big ledge and thrashed the funbox with tricks like opposite double peg to 180 out, feeble to over opposite smith and opposite feeble to 360 out. If my camera work wasn’t too horrible there might be a half decent video of him smithing down one ledge while Dane manuals down the other one. Nice work guys!
Tom got in the ute looking a bit the worse for wear in Lincoln but he gave his hangover the boot in Temuka and started  laying down Luc E grinds on the fun box. I shot some video and they got better and better with each take. I think they are one of the hardest grinds out there so I stuck to doubles and smiths... Which was great until I dug a peg into the cement and had a signature trip over the bars. It looked worse than it was and I got up and walked it off. Besides, when you’re nearly 40 It doesn’t really start to hurt until two days later... Lmfao!
The day stayed brilliantly fine under a big blue Canterbury autumn sky so we piled back into the ute and moved on to Timaru skate park. This park is great the layout is a little cluttered but there is something there for everyone, transition, ledges, a sweet manual pad and even a nice wall ride. The traffic in the park was a bit mental but we just rode around it as best we could. Tom had his Luc E out again, this time on top of a crazy bank to wall. I double pegged the same obstacle and was happy at that but he kept on until he pulled that Luc E sweet. His attitude seems to be hit it fast and hard, get it done! I think his skate background helps too, the skills definitely cross over.

Once again Hamish destroyed every grindable surface in site. His favourite was feeble to over opposite smith to 180 out but I really like his double peg to drop down a flight of stairs on the outer edge of the park. He hit fast but still just dropped off the end so hard his bars moved. He rode away though and thats the name of this game boiii! Mr Danezig pulled his hop nose manual sweet as well as some other craziness. At one point I thought he was going to fakie 5 from a wedge into a big quarter, turns out that was not what he had in mind but we should go back and get that on film one day for sure.

The day had worn on so we hit KFC for some required grease and a bit more comedy before pointing the ute north. Rather than just gapping it we detoured through Geraldine and hit that park in the gathering dark and cold. I guess it was only at this point that we were reminded it was an autumn day’s ride not a summer’s one. Everyone got some shredding done, Geraldine is a very different park and you have to work to find lines. My main achievement was to somehow magically tear the valve stem off my rear tube. This pissed me off but the plus was it lead to more hilarity while we fixed it at the Shell  station (for the record Shell Geraldine has an awesome compressor and can pump an Odyssey Path to 90psi... Free plug!). We loaded bikes and idiots in the ute once again and finally headed for home. The plan was to stop and hit Ashvegas park but we were all a bit knackered and it would have interrupted an amazing conversation about a particular genre of film making.... Ah, I will leave it at that!

To try and draw this to a close, I would like to say thanks to Hamish, Tom and Dane for being up for the good times that a trip with the bikes always is. You guys are great riders and great to hang out and be an idiot with. To everyone else reading this, don’t waste any sunny autumn, or even winter days! Pile those bikes and mates into a car and get out there. Take some pics or  video and share them with people so they can enjoy your riding too. Take care on the roads though so you can do it all again. Ride on!

Some other NZ boiis have also been shaking & moving.... Shit yeah!...

Hot of the press.... Jed Mildons world first triple backflip!

Home and away really sucks... But this clip is the fucking funniest shit ever!

The energy drink war is still raging hard,Now motorcross exhaust builder FMF have a new energy drink coming out,Will we see it here in New Zealand... Who knows? Could be a tricky deal for monster energy Kawasaki team as they run unmarked FMF exhausts but have Monster as there sponsor! Whats this have to do with BMX?.... Sweet fuck all.

my main man.

it's cousin time in the teton valley.

cousin time means kai time... you know, my favorite little man.

on the surface, the purpose of the trip was to see cousin christian graduate from high school, but secretly i took a day and a half off work and drove five hours in each direction to see kai.

i pulled into town just in time to make it to the high school and secure my spot in the bleachers.

i got the hooping and hollaring welcome from the adults in the family, but then - as if we were living in a movie - this sweet guy came running toward me {an accomplishment in and of itself} to give me a squeeze and have one of those silver screen loving embraces. 

i dropped my purse, got myself down on the floor and we hugged our lives away.

we may have created a little bit of a scene.... we had at least 4 cameras flashing in our direction.

  but it was so sweet... a scene gladly made in front of the entire teton valley.

and in case anyone needs more, here's some more kai around the house.

kai shows me his buddy:

and kai's personal dinner table.  the perfect little space between the countertop.

look! his legs don't even hang over the ledge.

 

if only y'all were lucky enough to squeeze on this little guy and see him in action.

he'd make you all melt.

mary.the.orchid.looking.hot.

probably the best cookies i've ever made.

knock offs of the sugar cookie from tulie bakery.  costmetically, at least.  i'm not sure i could create anything that could taste that good.

cookie:

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

3 cups flour

cream sugar, eggs, and butter. add milk and vanilla. mix some more. sift salt, soda, poweder, and flour. add to butter mixture. if you're patient enough, chill in the fridge for a half hour. it will be easier to roll out.

bake at 350 for 8-9 minutes.

frosting:
discovered on savory sweet life.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

3-4 cups powdered

1/4 tsp table salt

1 tbsp vanilla extract

4 tbsp milk

there are a few hard, fast rules about this frosting:

use unsalted butter.  don't cheat. 

and whatever you do, don't rush the process by softening the butter in the micro.  cardinal rule.

cream the butter for a few minutes.  add the powdered sugar. mix at low speed so it doesn't explode out of your mixing bowl. combining these two ingredients will take another couple minutes in the mixer.  add salt while it's mixing. add vanilla.  use clear vanilla if you're looking for the whitest-of-all-white frosting. after all the other ingredients are incorporated, add milk.  one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the consistency you're after.

seriously, the best sugar cookies i've ever made.

matchy matchy twin besties.

before we go out together, bestie jen and i have to call and coordinate outfits. if we don't, we end up wearing the same exact thing.  it's happened at least 38 times before.

not hard to do - considering we shop together, buy the same things, and are practically the same person

{except she likes the tall, skinny computer nerd type. and dogs. she likes dogs.}

the rule goes - if you're the driver, the other person has to change.

as in: if she comes to pick me up, and i see her coming around the corner in the same orange cardigan, i go back inside and change into a blue cardigan.

we both have those long, skinny windows that run along side our front doors.  so when we approach each other's door, we always sneak a peek of what each other is wearing... secretly crossing our fingers behind our backs that there's no last minute wardrobe change.

but last night.... 10 o'clock.... i showed up at her door for a late night sugar cookie drop off.

i fell down with laughter when we peeked through the window and saw this:

we even wear the same pajamas.

i have my choice of 2156786413 race for the cure tees.... and last night, i chose the 2010 version.

just like jen.

matchy matchy with our tees, glasses, bangs, and our hair in a knot.

fashionable.fusion.

Fashion is something that can express a humans personality, uniqueness and individuality. 

So, obviously the fashion inspiration I choose to share is guided by my own likes and trends. Enjoy and have a HAPPY Friday tomorrow!
