Paging MATERSON...

Raymond Materson. Or just plain Materson will do. Please contact me asap.

Thanks.

Appreciation.

Zigga.
Thank you for the smile today.





Simple things like this bring me such joy...

The Auntie Krust.

Accepted forms:
The Anti-Krust (like Anti Christ.)
Aunt Krust.
Auntie Kristina.
Auntie.
Aunt.

The word is odd after looking at it saying and spelling it a few times.

This is big time.
I was talking to my aunt on the phone last week and she said "Being an aunt is one of the best things you get to be, I so know the excitement you have right now"
I Love you BABY BRANDT. I'm going to smother you with Love and affection and spoil the shit out of you.


I get to be an Aunt.
Boo-yeah.


I'm to see fetus photo <3

In the market...

I'm getting ready to purchase a laptop.
Actually I have been ready for close to a month.
I've built a few, or picked out others and just when I've made the decision and it's time to pull the trigger, I freeze.
It's such a large sum of money to spend in one purchase.
If I only I hadn't fucked myself over and was able finance it... I'd be more at ease.
shiiiiit. I hate expensive purchases. It took me MONTHS to finally buy my car in 2005.
I;m just worried. I'm going to do it, and then something better that I could afford will come out... which is exactly what happened when I bought my car. The New GTI's came out and I fell in love, but had just purchased my TC. eh.
What the hell?

Here I go.

I need reassurance.
And advice on how NOT to screw this thing up.
Send me links to inexpensive external hard drives and nice 15.4" laptop cases.

Wish me luck.

FRIDAY.

Was excellent.
For many reasons.
I got that feeling back in my stomach that I had missed so much...

I met these amazing creatures.
(Most photos are blurry, because I prefer the lighting without the flash, and I wanted to try to disturb the animals as little as possible.)











And The Jellyfish, which are rad! The colors and the lights...
And in the exhibit they were playing THIS song.

"Do you remember
When we met
That's the day I knew you were my pick"

agh! I love it.












And had a blast. I have since learned many interesting facts about Octopuses. (yes, Octopuses is an acceptable plural form of Octopus.) They are my favorite right now. This guy in particular. He has 7 arms, and 1 nub....



He was totally dancing around for us and putting on a show. I took a ton of pictures.


I would love to have a pet Octopus. But they have very short life spans and are super smart and excellent escape artists. and as much as I love cuddling, I don't want to wake up with one in my bed, unexpectedly.
Jason took me to the Chart House for Dinner, and it was the BEST! After seeing Salmon swim around, I totally ordered Salmon for Dinner... As well as a Calamari Appetizer.. I'm, evil. but, It's sooooo good. And Dessert was the winner. Molten chocolate Lava cake, sprinkled with Heath Bar... I want to go back NOW.









Back to work, now...
A least I have cheesecake and TEA!
I'm a happy, happy Krust.

Hooky.

It feels like a FRIDAY!!!
My boss is fully aware. But, tomorrow I am taking a Comp day, and going to the Monterey Bay Aquarium!!!! I have ton of time saved up, because I barely ever take time off work.
I can't wait to see the Giant Octopus! Among other things... Sea Horses, Starfish, Otters, Jellyfish, and SHARKS! The list could go on...


Look at him!!! I kinda LOVE Octopuses wayyy too much for looking the way they do...
I can't wait!!!

Possibly some dancing tonight...? At a The Cure show, after party... Fun. I Love Blank Thursdays, I miss them.

I see it coming but I can't defend...

Life is sweet.
My finances are in order and I feel excellent about it. Thanks to my AMAZING Sister-in-law Emily and her helpful skills.

I finally got my bike! Thanks to Scotty who drove me to San Jo to pick it up. He and I have been riding a lot since the weekend. We have our route set now. It's a 10 mile ride and it goes basically to one end of San Mateo and then back to the other, we go all along the water and underneath the San Mateo bridge even. On the trail there are these feral cats that hang out by the rocks near the water. They are way skiddish and won't come near you, but super cute. We brought some dry cat food and fed them as we went along on Monday. I can't wait to go for a ride after work today!!!!! Even though my ass is about a raw as can be right now, I don't even care.
I Love my bike!

I got to go see the Birthday Massacre last Friday night, thanks to Jason. There were a lot of teenagers, but it was still an awesome show. I saw Mindless Self Indulgence for the first time, and it was awfully entertaining. They are great live. I Love all the pretty girls,



and this pretty boy, a bit too:

None of these are pictures from the show I went to. I've been lacking in my photo taking lately :/



I'm wearing a heather grey shirt again, today and it is still all the same hue. Not darker grey in certain areas... Thanks to a little help from a friend. Very few will understand this. I'm ecstatic that it is finally taken care of, after years of embarrassment and limited shirt color choices. I feel like a new woman! Which I know sounds ridiculous, but it's true.


And, I'm off to see Indiana Jones after a bike ride tonight. Catch y'all later...

Kisses for the COCO!

Tattoo.

I have an appointment to start my back piece on June 22.
I am getting all the pictures together, and I'm having the worst time finding pictures of one of the dolls I had, that want in it. Her name was Julie, and Worlds of Wonder made her. They have since gone bankrupt, so of course, no website. :(
Boo, I want a picture of her brand new, or in really good condition. I could take a picture of mine today, but she is tore up. She is literally falling apart, her head could go at any moment :/
And so The hunt goes on...

If anyone had her and didn't destroy her, take some pictures for me.

It's getting HOT in herrrrre.

Sarah made me HELLLLLLAA Good salad for dinner last night. She's the bestest!
She also brought home Corona! It was a good night.
After eating, Steph, Sarah and I made a spontaneous trip to the mall. Because our damn houses don't have air conditioning, BUT the mall does!
I bought my PURPLE Jeans!!!!
Emily had told me about them. and I finally got them. I'm so happy!

I don't like them in the photo with sandals, but I swear in person they are adorable, and are going to be hot with heelsa and super fun with flats.


It's supposed to be 94 degrees today!!!
Thank god I'm off work early. I will be out enjoying the SUN!
I really want a Pina Colada, or Margarita, or hell even a Corona!

I'm supper happy today! EMILY and LISA are home!
I missed them too much. I nearly teared up when Em called me last night while heading home from the airport. No joke.

"SINISTER is home."

an eventful Sunday.

So, the highlight of my Sunday, would have to be the fact that I MET the man who designed the Snake from the INDIANA JONES ride in Disneyland. His Job title is Imagineer, and he had his scaled down model of the snake and the plans showing how he made the thing. It was fucking sick. I was super stoked, because Indiana Jones is my favorite ride at Disneyland.


We went to the Maker Faire:
Build, CRAFT, hack, play, MAKE.
Arts • Crafts • Engineering • Food • Green • Music • Science • Technology
Maker Faire is a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It’s for creative, resourceful people of all ages and backgrounds who like to tinker and love to make things.
We went last year, too. But this year there was so much more, including the Disney section. They had all kinds of stuff. It's like the Exploritorium and a mini interactive Discovery channel all set up as a playground for people to come check out. I highly recommend checking it out next time it's near you!

We discovered a ton of rad things we want to do and go learn to do! I'm extremely excited. We even tested some of our findings later that night, while trying not to get too sucked into the intensity of The Sharks game... :/
That was rough.


I Love you, Sharkies, Can't wait for next season!
