dia de los muertos

While on our road trip we ended up in Los Angeles for one of the events I miss most.... Dia De Los Muertos at Hollywood Forever cemetery. Here are a few photos I took...

what ever happened to september?

Did I miss it?
Now it's all about the chill in the air, all things pumpkin, and a much needed road trip!



dog-end of a day gone by

for the love of typewriters

It's all true. I love typewiters and I love secretaries. Check out this amazing museum.

new home for essential monsters

Over the past months my essential monsters website and email have partaken in a mysterious disappearing act. Poof gone! Poof here again! My host site, owned by the same person who designed my site and hosted my email seems to have vanished. My stuff along with anything having to do with said person, including his own site is gone, gone, gone, baby gone. I've decided to start a blog to keep the ole girl alive. Purchases can be made through my etsy shop. Now I will be hunting for a new place for E.M. to live permanently.

blog!

F is for FIG!

I came home from work a bit ago completely starved. My fantastic neighbor has a fig tree and there are some very ripe and ready to pounce on fruits hanging heavily from it. I picked two and made the following....

2 large ripe figs
crumbled gorgonzola
honey
olive oil

Heat a large pan with a tablespoon of olive oil
Cut the figs in half
Pan fry them for 4 minutes each side
Plate and top with gorgonzola and drizzle with honey

Holy smokes! So delicious! Even Jim ate it and his experience with figs involves the disgusting center of those darn cookies which led to a taste aversion to all things figish.
I wish I took a photo for you all.

mister matthew eugene bone

Today I would like you to meet one of my soulmates for the better part of the past decade. He is the proud new writer of "there is no brush" over at nerdist.com and one hell of a painter. From nuclear fallout hair that scares even Gary Oldman to wiping a third parties vomit on my face as a sign of true friendship, I love you Matthew.

no beginning

But I do have to pick this all up somewhere, don't I? After much neglect and "do I post, or don't I?" Here is a beginning of sorts. Swann Danger are the band in question, shot by me and a certain Skot B., edited by the B. as well.

Shot at their practice space for some gritty meets glam. Overlay of a take of the song shot in the dark with a stobe light.
