SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!

nobody@vox.com(CubistLiterature) — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:15:45 -0800

SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY!
11.12.09

Yes, finally back.
But all I do is work now, so I don't really have time to make myself look presentable.

This explains why I look so furry and frumpy. I probably haven't shaved in a month.
(My facial hair grows slowly.)

SELF PORTRAIT THURSDAY! 11.12.09

That's my new knitting machine, my new source of inspiration and frustration.

I don't mean to be a hater, but hand knitting is for schmucks.
No, that's not true. I was just hand knitting last night. And I often hand knit.
(But when I'm away from my machine, I long for it.)

Seriously, though...
The satisfaction and ideas come pouring out on a machine.

Good news:

Yesterday Ben and I were asked by our old roommate Talena if we could watch Osa the chihuahua this weekend while there is construction done in her new apartment! =)

To celebrate, I'm including some videos of Ben and I spending time with Osa.

This is Ben making Osa sing:

It's fun to make her howl because she purses her lips.
AND she starts to hack/cough like she's a smoker.

But my NUMBER ONE FAVORITE THING to do is this:

I'm still waiting for the day she leaps up and bites me in the face.
But I think she's too sweet for that.

I think I'm more of a dog person now.
I had a bad cat experience at my last apartment with Gordo. He was too needy. Shed too much. Ate too much, ate when nervous, ate until he vomited. It all made me not want to leave my room.

Dogs are so much better, I think.

In other good news, Ben J. was featured on Daily Candy yesterday!
It is an AMAZING write-up.
I am v. proud.

P.S.
I might do a self portrait later...

One of the reasons why people should drop out of college, (or kill its personnel)

nobody@vox.com(MexicanRobot) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:44:50 -0800

I've had a bad week.

As you may or may not know, I'm into this binational school program and I recently transfered from a mexican university to an american college. College in the U.S. is waaaaaaay more expenssive than the highest rather mexican university (we have the best university in Latin America). So I have to be prepared with good money everytime I need to register for new classes.

Long story short, registration started last Monday and I was told on Friday that I had to register.
As a student in a "special" program, I have to take certain classes. These classes have to be picked by my counselor. So this was my last week and the beginning of this week:

Thrusday.

I go to the counselor's office and ask to see him. His secretary tells me that I have to make an appointment to talk to him, so I make an appointment for Friday noon.
I come back home and send him an e-mail, telling him that I need to talk to him about my classes (at this point I didn't know the next week I had to register already). I expect him to return the e-mail on Friday.

Friday.

I went to the counselor's office, and the secretary tells me she made a mistake and she booked me at the same time another person was supposed to see the counselor. She tells me that the guys may be avaliable on Monday (but he's booked until Friday of the next week), but I should try send him an e-mail.
Come back home, and he hasn't answered my e-mail.

Saturday
No e-mail.

Sunday
No e-mail

Monday
I go to his office and secretary tells me she's not avaliable until Friday.
Come back home. No e-mail.
I contact the lady in admissions, whose job is not to talk to me, but she helps me contact the dude.
Still, no e-mail.
I call my friends from the same program and they so and make some drama with the secretary so the counselor agrees to see them.
Received e-mail from the ADMISSIONS lady. She said that she would try to help me.

Tuesday
I pick my possible classes (which are five) and register because I can't be wasting time, and the classes may fill in.
Counselor talks to friends in program, and he has the NERVE to ADD another class to the program.
I have to choose my classes all over again.
Can't register online, so I decide to wait until Wednesday.

Wednesday
Today I came here and I registered again for new classes, just to find out that I'm on waitlist for 2 classes, and I may NOT get in, because there is a LOOOOONG waitlist.

So my problem is.
WHY ARE PEOPLE SUCH PENDEJOS?!!?!?
Why do I have to get stressed over THEIR job??
Why didn't the guy reply to my e-mail on time so I wouldn't have to miss registration!?

The reason why I wanted to drop out of college is not because classes are hard. Fuck yeah they can be a pain in the ass, but that's something I can take. But when people don't know how to do their job... that's when I wonder if people in this generation have been raised by a group of Poodles.

So right now I'm so stressed, I'm hoping I can get an add code for the classes I'm missing, and PLUS, I have to get money fast to pay for stupid classes.

I hate my current college. I thought education in Mexico was rotten fish on a piece of dog shit. Now you can imagine how I feel about this American college. Not saying that all colleges are the same but this one... *speechless*

Bye.

This week my sister shop, TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES, is listing some new fall-winter items while working on the TOYC spring-summer collection.

First, the double t-shirt dress is now offered in navy:

double t-shirt dress - navy 002 (by TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES)

And charcoal:

double t-shirt dress - charcoal 002 (by TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES)

Also, appropriate for fall/winter, the v. popular dress is now available in a long-sleeve version:

Long-Sleeve Double T-Shirt Dress - Black 005 (by TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES)

Long-Sleeve Double T-Shirt Dress - Black 002 (by TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES)

And finally there is the GHOST JACKET:

Ghost Jacket - Black 005 (by TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES)

Ghost Jacket - Black 003 (by TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES)

I love this jacket.
I have one in dark grey, and it has been very good to me during these chilly fall days.

There are some other reasons I love this jacket:
-It's got a 2-way zipper in the front.
-To quote Ben J.: "2 crew neck sweatshirts reconfigured : neckline = armhole, one sleeve = collar/hood, one sleeve divided = deep cowl pocket + sleeve extension"

Also, it is very roomy like a poncho, but it rises up in the front and back. That way, your legs still get seen and have some length.

Ben will be listing some other items, so keep an eye out!

Back to work for us!

DramaDramaDrama

nobody@vox.com(MexicanRobot) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 01:09:14 -0700

So... for the ast couple months I've been playing this online RPG called Fiesta.
I met a bunch of nice people, but I hate the fact that somehow this became a personal issue. I mean... most of those people are not going to meet me in real life, so I hate that I became close to some of them even thought I know I might never see them.

I hate Internet drama like this. It keeps me from thinking about my real life, and that's not fair for me or for them. So I think I will quit playing the stupid game.

Anyway here are some screenshots of the game, in case you what to know what I'm talking about.

Danielle & Me

My mage before I changed her looks

My mage with new looks.

So, yeah, the game is fun, but it's getting a bit overwhelming... I just want to grab everything, make it a little paper ball and throw it away.

Anyway...

Does anyone think Adam Lambert looks like P!INK?

Adam Lambert

Pink

Have Fun people... [if there's anyone out there who reads this blog... ]
