I hope Halloween was great for all of you ! ☠︎︎  ☠︎︎  ☠︎︎

I kept celebrations lowkey this year because I worked the next morning but had a fantastic time regardless <3  I had some time to finish my DIY and dressed as avenger Chuck E Cheese (my sweet sweet partner accompanied me as Munch). We ended up handing out candy, eating pizza, and re-watching "Return of the living dead" (1985). 

Before the Halloween festivities started on Thursday I walked around the Westminster mall for a while. Did you knowwe'll be losing it early to mid 2025? :( Was taking some pictures to commemorate amd saw someone else doing the same thing. 
I also found they have a claw machine arcade on the second floor and won two toys! 
Hoping to visit again soon to check out the remaining boutiques.

RIP Westminster mall 
​August 1974 - 2025

I'm also inadvertently feeling a tinge of holiday spirit today. While letting episodes of The Twilight Zone play in the living room, the Christmas episode "Night of the Meek" came on - it makes me a little weepie and nostalgic. It's also gloomy out so extra cozy. Started my annual re-watch of Freaks and geeks - gonna watch an episode and work on some personal apparel projects. 

thank you for stopping by

til next time

 ☠︎︎  ☠︎︎  ☠︎︎ Helloo welcome to my first blog post  ☠︎︎  ☠︎︎   ☠︎︎

Not sure what finally encouraged me to start making posts. I hand-write in a personal journal but something about typing out some of my day-to day sounds satisfying to me.  I also think I'm hoping it'll be a way to further internalize and share some of my goals: creative and personal. I don't share a whole lot about myself, and I'm not motivated to do it through social media. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some small goals I'm working on currently:

• finish customizing my pile of personal apparel pieces I'm working on
• learn to walk while hula hooping (I can take a few steps, but pretty slowly for now)
• I'm also trying to work on getting better in drawing basic anatomy. I don't have a clear end goal, but I guess for now the plan would be to practice a little every other day.

Anyway, spent the afternoon planning new personal apparel projects. I need to make a few stencils and carve some new stamps, so the rest of the week will probably just be to prep and to finish up my last batch of personal pieces. (some of which can be seen on my "stay a while" page). I've got a bunch more shirts of mine I have yet to customize. I can't wait because I feel like I'll finally wear them :-)

Now spending the evening trying to spruce up the site and re-watching "April fool's day" (1986).  Haven't seen it in a while, but I like it for what it is. I like a who-dun-it, especially when they're cheesy. It's goofy, 80s, and Tom Wilson is in it. Kinda cool. Also am sitting here anticipating the credits of the movie where they play the song"too bad you're crazy" by Jerry Whitman. So good. Any song with a kazoo solo has my interest. 

also will be using this page as an excuse to re-visit my love of adding glitter graphics to my page. My past myspace-loving self would be happy. 

thanks for stopping by
