i’m a patsy! i was set up!
food baby here i come.
why is patsy’s pizza AWESOME?
1. the original location is only 2 blocks away from where i live.
2. whether you are sitting down or taking out, they give you the pizza in less than 10 minutes.
3. every year they have a “party like it’s 1933″ celebration where everything on the menu is priced as if it was 1933 for a day.
usually i do not subscribe to the new york pizza fold but with patsy’s it’s a whole other story. i just get this pizza-folding feeling, and i can’t help it. patsy’s pizza is thin crust and juicy and i love it so much i’m gonna take it back behind the middle school and get it pregnant.
walk it off.
grandma was in a fashion show once. it was the chinese senior center’s fashion show, but still, look at those heels! grandma was telling me about this fashion show weeks before it even happened but come the day of the show she wasn’t sure if she would would do a lap. thank god i was there to encourage her- that hat’s got nothing on grandma!
grandma style
bring it to the ball.
um…
the fam went to austin, tx a couple years back and stopped by to say hi to the alamo. now, the alamo is cool and all but the gift shop is where it’s at. look at what i found:
good job, guys.
this kind of reminds me of those “spot the differences” games they used to print in the sunday funnies, except this time there are no differences. it’s not like the alamo transforms into a disco roller rink at night- it’s still the alamo, just hanging out, day or night.
little j-dawg’s xmas wish list
i want that.
look at how pretty!
i know this is completely crazy but i think this is on the top of my xmas list this year. don’t know what it is? it’s 500 pencils. 500 DIFFERENT COLORED PENCILS. isn’t that the best thing you’ve ever heard? each pencil has a special name and story (ex: lobster bisque, mermaid’s gown, tea with milk, etc) it’s like having 500 children that never screamed or pooped all over your sofa. and if you lost one, you wouldn’t get in trouble with child protective services! it’s perfect. it’s a dream come true. if i had 500 pencils i would color my entire apartment. i would break them all in 2 and end up with 1000. i would draw a multi-colored line around the earth 10 times. pencils! pencils! pencils!!!
moustache monday
when i was a kid other kids said i had a moustache (which was probably true) and it would really bug me. now i take care of the real stache (thank you, nair!) but is it a crime if i still enjoy the look of a good moustache?
excuuuuse me.
good day, sir.
as i’m sure you’ve figured out, the “moustache” in these photos is not made out of hair but in fact some sort of root vegetable from taiwan (i don’t know what it’s called so…sorry!) but that’s not the point- just look at how well the moustache shape compliments my features- i feel like i belong in the yellow submarine movie!
mom & grandma find a wig shop
mom has always loved my hair. not just in a mother/daughter way, but in a give-me-1/2-of-your-hair-so-i-can-make-a-wig-out-of-it kind of way. i don’t really know why mom has this obsession with hair. mom’s got great hair- and nothing to worry about in that department so please explain why i found this picture on my camera:
wig in a box
if you are not familiar with my family, this is a photo of grandma and mom modeling wigs that mom thought she needed to buy. no words can describe how i feel about this photo. fyi- these wigs have never been worn outside of this photo. this is the difference between me and mom: if i were to buy a wig it would probably look more like this:
not low.
julix bear
when julix lived in new york we would go on dates. we made sock monkeys, went to greenpoint (to buy socks for making sock monkeys), and ate a lot of frozen yogurt. i’m pretty sure she likes to put mochi in hers. i do sometimes.
yogurt friends
sock monkey friends
in the next photo julix and i are wearing matching bear shirts we found in filene’s basement. they were only $6! she didn’t buy it though. LAME. i like this photo because it looks like we are
A) wearing matching pajamas. (the footie kind)
B) just finished playing tag at recess and are ready for snack time.
C) practicing smiles for picture day.

the coolest hairdressers you’ve ever seen
fabulous hair, amazing makeup, and decadent costumes. no this isn’t a drag queen’s closet (or my closet). it’s the performers who belong to the osadia company- a spanish street performance group that does hair. we’re not talking that dood who invented “the rachel” or whoever snipped “the mia farrow” we’re talking CRAZY ASS HAIR. kind of like in the movie blow dry, but even crazier! below are photos taken by yours truly at the 2006 detroit arts festival (2006-dang that was a long time ago!)
you!
showdown!

where did i put my fan?
pretty pretty princesses
bean and i went to the doyle & doyle xmas shindig last thursday and were given the opportunity to try on some REAL jewelry. we’re not talking that plastic crap in pretty pretty princess that always pinched your finger/wrist whenever you shoved it on your chubby hands, but the real antique deal. of course the majority of the baubles were under lock and key (as it should be) but the owners had set aside a few choice gems for us eager partygoers to model. here’s proof:
i'll be your mirror
since you’re probs uber tired of seeing just our faces, here are close-ups of some of my faves from the show.

(a million thanks to the beautiful, pie-baking lauren who was there to greet us in her yuletide red tights and christian louboutin heels!)
where in the world is j-dawg?
it’s monday so i won’t force you guys to use your brains too much. i mean i spent my weekend making a fro out of newspaper and cutting out buttloads of snowflakes so i’m definitely a little loopy. (don’t worry, there will be pictures!) any-vay, here’s a little activity that will hopefully brighten your day for a millisecond: try and find me in the photo below! i know, it’s difficult- i mean have you ever seen so many yellow people crammed onto couch together?
a worm crawled in my mouth and i ate it.
