ABBA is creepy.

This was one of the funner nights of our lives.


Anne is coming home! With Brock!

MOVES!

Xposeur

I dont even call myself a snowboarder anymore. But all the snowboarding videos are my guilty pleasure. This new flick, Guns Out was made by my friend Tyler. His dad is a professional clogger in North Carolina and Tyler is now a professional snowboarding filmer, making videos that turn SLC into the new Studio 54, for snowboarders.

Or, for gypster snowboarders. And fools.

days until classes begin

doppelganger days

i am seeing double, which must mean i am seeing trouble.

farms vs. farming.
design vs. writing.
beach vs. work.
time vs. sleep.
strong vs. weak.

skate vs. bike.
hate vs. like.

mustaches vs. beards.
portland vs. minneapolis.

us vs. canada.
city vs. woods.
glass candy vs. chromatics.
these guys "make music and films from a shack in the woods"


day vs. night.
alone vs. together.

guilt vs. pleasure.

please hate me for this, please.

i have discovered an ethical way to eat meat; DO IT FOR THE LOVE OF IT.
(as in love for this most potent of protein. for your health!)

after 4 years of fear, i am back on beef.

i am fascinated with this live mixing, and i am a sucker for this blog-house style. (also, i dream of being "that girl") if it wasnt for her, this performance would be stale!
kexp radio is my ultimate fav! listen to cheryl waters' show!

a beat blog

a Chromatone.

mastered by the hands of a 12 year old whose got way more rhythm than me.

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

yesterday was the best week i ever had

r.i.p. art shanties!!
saturday was full of it. my family came out, the sun was all around, the ice below and the bottoms up.
to celebrate, we ice skated around shantyland for hours as the sun was setting. it was a most emotional experience.
imagine skating with this montage

but on top of a beautiful, frozen, minnesota lake. (wind included)

we skated right out there


also, we de-installed our poor shanty all day sunday.
emily is in distress. this one's for gail:

what are we going to do with ourselves now?

sensational

the ultimate video in my search for these amazing beats that i remembered from the Cinco de Mayo celebration on Lake St.

THANKS to my wonderful Dj Ninjah for leading me to The Big Boss of Raggaeton
now, we just dont see websites like his anymore. and why should we?



there was also a collection of sweet fingerpuppets at a vendor.
i decided to rescue mine at home, instead.

SNOW!

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.

scare me

realising my work should be emphasizing rhythm.



high places cycling ever so eerily in the dark.

i listened to the radio from a circa 1980s pink alarm clock/radio during dinner tonight.

right now i am at work in the studio to the hum of an industrial air vent.

how transitional.
