BLOGS = NARCISSISM?

fast awake

its been a long end-of-semester. and thankfully these last few days of true vacay have felt even longer!
up in bemidji minnesota at my home.

im excited to start a new designerd blog over at mysterese.com
and i will keep this OG blog up-to-date with the latest of mysterese perplexities of being badass.
today, i give thanks for my freedom.
i have dreams and hopes and not a heavy bloated belly of childbirth. i live in cities that actually have real skateparks and real restaurants. i have a real family and a real list of accomplishments on my resume. real potential, folks. thanks.


these dudes are also headed to WBMC next year: gareth stehr and patrick melcher.

this is my gal! (except i would never street skate in anything but skytops)

ITS OFFICIAL: SKLOG TIME

go on over to my new internets mysterese.com (work-in-progress)
and then be siked to watch micah skate. best ever.


RESPECT HIS SEXY!

skateparks rule the nation

(happy earth day fair! mcad is amazing!)

the busiest day of my life by near. (not far) served tea, skated mcad for once, registered for class, wrote about why i will be a good r.a., and dreamed of bigger skating. lately i have decided i need to be in portland for july, and maybe alot of that reason is to skate (glenhaven).
well....here is the wisconsin version of that dreamland bowl beauty!!!!!

maybe i can stay around here afterall??
(its about time i learn to grind pool coping)

dog days f'real

so it can't be any coincidence that i peered at this top 10 smartest/dumbest dog slideshow this morning, only to then disprove that entire proclamation with the findings of THIS!!!!!

Xtreme Pete!

oday, i came across a book typeset entirely in papyrus. the publishing company logo, book titles, and all. this book featured the watercolorings of the world trade center before an after the tragedy. the artist's earlier work, dating 8/31/01 was quite nice, pretty okay...but his linework into the month of september and thereafter was a trembling mess. it was a sad and often flat attempt at an artistic, landscape homage. the papryus typesettings of this book was ironically similar in personality. i guess somebody had to do it.

no joke

i love honesty more than anything in the world.
SPEAK magazine speaks truth we all should admire

its such a great feeling. and then it is also the very worst feeling.
love/hate

up north days

topic: video blogs

video blogs (mostly video diary entries) are SO TERRIBLE! who really wants to watch a face talking at you?!!!
self righteous ninnys...i had to watch too many of those last semester for blogs/vlogs class. sometimes, i attempt to watch them these days but it is the worst experience. if anyone can convince me that every video diary is not the same stale shit, please let me know! post the link for all i care. i will want to barf.
the weather in minneapolis today was much like winter in portland. it has a been a nostalgic, yet rather serious day here.
cheers to those folks who can take it all year in that great land! watch this video, by joe millionare and co. sums up the rugged social life on the streets of portland, through a narrative of some bike messenger friends : )

the post of my studio space is pretty weak, but if you're wondering, the source of the SILF image is BustedTees.com who is run by Connected Ventures who made this epic music video

Lip Dub - Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger from amandalynferri on Vimeo.

on a similar note, i am going to work at MCAD DesignWorks next semester.
i havent seen their music videos quite as choreographed as this. its going to be interesting, but i will work on that.

first of all, my desktop should be choreographed because it is whooping me and my laptop in the ass.

no big.
my new 500gb hardrive should take care of some things.


im so proud of my dear friend maddy, she got a job at HOLDEN OUTERWEAR yesterday in portland! it is her first semester in the communications design program at PNCA. she's siked!!
she's going to learn enough there to launch our snowfashion line MAD.E
later on. until then, i will be working on my bedazzling skillz.
and sadly, selling my board. let me know if you have a need, ladies.

a look at THE LIFE

(QUICK I ONLY HAVE 10 MINUTES TO DO THIS)
my worksoon this should be very expressive of...the more is less aesthetic.

while working in class today, my friend and i were very hungry and i told her "im so hungry, that i think i am going to eat mayonnaise (on my sandwich)"
so i came home and i maybe took a little more than the "10 minute meal" theme that i had thought to have perfected. i tried to neglect the mayonnaise because i thought it contained partially hydrogenated oils, but alas it features eggs. almost worse. but a good start to the miniature, travel sized jar of it. 2" tall maybe. it tasted SO good with the sirracha and kale.
most definately a
i browsed my online world a good one.
