Art + Fish
Ok, so my UCSD annual performance review was yesterday so I worked all week last week on my presentation for it which is why I have not posted anything here!
So the weekend before last Trevor and I drove up to LA to see his parents. On Saturday we went to see the La Brea Tar Pits, I went once when I was like 5 years old and I remember there being dinosaurs. Well Iguess the tar pits are only like 40,000 years old and Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago, so bummer. When I went when I was 5 I also went to the LA Natural History Museum that day, I guess that must be what I am remembering....? Well the La Brea Tar Pits are neat and all, they have a giant lake of tar and the animals used to think mmm that looks like tasty water and they would walk in and then get stuck so now we have a ton of fossils.
They had lots of Wooly Mammoths and literally 1000's of dire wolves, but the museum was actually quite small overall and a bit disappointing.
So then I also wanted to go to LACMA (the LA County Museum of Art) because my co-worker told me they have an entire exhibit on costumes and textiles (yayy, you know me I love sewing!). And how perfect, LACMA is in the same park as the tar pits (I know, lets put an art museum on a field with tar seeping out from under it....). So we went, but the textile/costume exhibit was CLOSED for renovations! hahahaha, just my luck! Well we walked around other parts of the museum, it is pretty big, there are several buildings. I really liked it overall. It had a lot of variety, like they had Asian Art, and a lot of times that just means Japan and China, but they had pieces from Indonesia, Nepal, Tibet, Malaysia, ect..... They had a lot of neat Islamic Art, African, European, American, ect..... I went to the Ghetty once, which is world famous I guess, and yeah it was neat, but they had very little variety, they would have an entire floor with 17th century paintings of animals, it was just row after row of the same thing, ugh! They had really neat European furniture that was just completely over the top and lavish, but after seeing 20 rooms of this stuff eve that got old! So I liked how LACMA had just a little bit of everything!
Then Sunday we went to the Theatricum Botanicum in Topanga Canyon and saw Shakespeare's "As You Like It." It was cute! And then after a long weekend we drove back to SD! Then I spent a long week reviewing resumes for a new assistant at work and preparing my presentation for my annual performance review. but phew all of that is over.
This past weekend I went snorkeling in La Jolla Cove with Trevor and Analee. I LOVE to snorkel, but I don't go very often here. Even though San Diego has nice weather the ocean is still really cold because our water comes from up in Alaska. Also the water is somewhat choppy so the visibility is not very good. I went snorkeling because the leopard sharks were supposed to be in town, the migrate here once a year to reproduce. One of my coworkers went a week ago and saw tons. Well I did not see any sharks, but I did see tons of garibaldi which is a neon orange fish with a really angry looking forehead, hehehehe.
We only went for like an hour since it was cold and the visibility was poor, but it was fun! Then we met my friends Evelyn and Katie for lunch for lunch at Lotsa Pasta which was fun becasue I don't get to see them nearly often enough. Evelyn has 2 kids and Rhiannon is 3 now which is CRAZY and Michael is almost 1, where does the time go!? Then I spent most of the rest of the weekend cleaning my house which was not very exciting, but I feel I got a lot done. I had an impormptu party where we p layed Wii Mario Cart while drinking, hahahaha. Driving drunk is hard, even on the Wii! ;)

This Weekend
I am STILL just a little bit sick! Ugh! I have a lingering cough that just won't go away! I have been sick for TWO weeks!
Well the lovely ladies of the San Diego North Park Craft Mafia are having another great show this Sunday, it is part of our monthly series, the first Sunday of each month we have a craft show at the Filter coffee house in North Park. I am so bummed, I won't make it to this one (I have to go visit Trevor's family in LA for the weekend) but the rest of you should go have fun, drink some coffee and check it out. (Ok, I don't drink coffee but I highly recommend the white hot coco!)

Sick....ugh
Well, I have not been very active on my blog lately. I have had a sinus infection all week so that has been a bummer, then on Wednesday night for no apparent reason my entire ankle swelled up!
It sucks being sick when it is hot and you have no air conditioning, ~sigh~
Well I am on the mend!

Ups & Downs
Well all in all it has been a pretty horrible month. I went to the emergency room for my spine, then my turtle ran away, then my Grandpa passed away. So just when I thought things couldn't get worse, they did. So Friday was pretty awful, but Saturday two of my good friends, Kean + Tammy, were visiting from Seattle, and I haven't seen them in like a year so that was nice. I spent pretty much the entire day with friends and I think I needed that. Sunday, Aug 10th I have a art show, it is called "More Super Sundays" and it is in Hillcrest, we are on University + Richmond right in front of the Alibi so I am hopeful about that. For more info check out my "events" page.

Trying to get my sh*t together
Ok, so we had our "Sunday, Crafty Sunday" this past weekend at the Ken Club down in Kennsigton. It was pretty wild! This is the first craft show that I have ever participated in that was 21&up so that was very different. It was in a bar, so everything was all dark and crazy and stuff. The music was really good! I REALLY liked both the bands, but it was a very small space so my ears were still ringing on Sunday! The Burlesque dancers were both fantastic! That is not something you normally see at a craft show!
Well, just being at a craft show has me all fired up to get more of my crafts on the internet. So I took a whole bunch of photos and I am going to list some stuff on Etsy this week. I also looked into taking community college classes so I can learn more about Dreamweaver so I can make my own website! Yayy!
