Filling up my suitcase like a hungry mouth to feed...

Off to the Garden Isle for a couple of days, I'll be back online on October 3rd if my inbox at work hasn't gone completely lolo! Not to mention the gubment!

Mariachi Delic

For those who didn't get the personalized email - this piece will be shown at the UCSF Fall Art Show 2008. I used acrylics, watercolors and ink. It has a shine to it that really doesn't translate that well here but I hope you get an idea of what it looks like. Cheers!

Ewan McGregor is My Neighbor, ehrm...

I mean, this is his car, right? Right?

I didn't hang around long enough to find out whose car this belongs to, so until proven otherwise it's Ewan's car, yeah Ewan Lopez!

What happens when there's an art sale and you've just had some magic cookies.



Smart car, can be picked up and taken away by about 5 people!
Super cute and smart!

McCain Invented the Blackberry!!!

Get this. Apparently, John McCain invented the BlackBerry! Today, McCain's top economic adviser waved a BlackBerry in front of reporters and said, "He did this...You're looking at the miracle John McCain helped create."

A miracle indeed. Who ever would have guessed that the BlackBerry was invented by a 72-year-old man who recently called himself computer "illiterate," talked about "a Google," and said he "watches" blogs?¹

Today's news took even McCain's biggest admirers by surprise. In fact, we just "found" an amazing video from Billy Mires, the "real" bus driver of the Straight Talk Express reacting to McCain's impressive technological feat.

Well if Gore can be credited with inventing the internet...why not? Ha, these guys kill me!

Feliz Dia de la Independencia

Or...

Happy Independence Day, for los Mexicanos! Ajuuuuaaa!
Of course I had to find the creepiest doll for the celebration.
¡Otro tequila!

Top Ten Sarah Palin Scandals

When you have time and you have your investigative reporter hat on (that or your responsible voter hat) go visit Common Mistakes bloggie and have a nice read. Follow the links and become informed...pass it on.

You know the good ol' boys are churning their own butter to this picture! This photo may actually kill all terrorists on sight. Perhaps a aerial drop of this picture over Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan?

"When asked last month about the vice presidency, she [Sarah Palin] said, 'I still can't answer that question until someone answers for me: 'What is it exactly that the VP does every day?' When asked about Iraq, she said, 'I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq.' "

Chillaxing on Mr. Grizzly bear. "Please don't maul me, Mr. Grizzly bear, oh wait, you can't, you're dead! Ha, ha!"

Warm and Fuzzy Taggers

The intention is a good one I suppose, but the execution is still a misdemeanor and if it were MY fence I'd be very put out! I guess I'm turning into that woman who'd scream "get out of my yard!!" when you were outside playing softball with your friends and the ball would accidentally roll onto her property. Now all I need are like 12 cats.


Good advice from the street preachers.

Weekend/Fin de Semana

Of course the day when both R and I are off the sun decides to beat it behind some low lying fog, undeterred we decide to head east towards Fort Mason and to our delight the sun was smiling, the dogs were running, the Fight Against Breast Cancer was winding down it's 3 day march and we enjoyed a Domingo echaos.

By the way my great friend T is walking in the Cancer 3 Day in DC, here's the link to her page, if the spirit moves you please send her some $ and good vibes. Thanks!

Ghostly Golden Gate Bridge.

I began work on the piece for the UCSF Art Show, it's called Mariachi but it may change to Mariachidelic (acrylic, watercolor and ink)

Can't stand it

One of the many, many reasons Palin is a bad choice for any public office.
Have you ever heard of aerial hunting?
It's a brutal practice. Wolves are shot from low-flying aircraft or chased to exhaustion, then killed at point-blank range.
Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for Vice President, promotes this barbaric practice,
exploiting a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act to allow private wolf killers to shoot down wolves using aircraft.

Murphy and Noonan - how they really feel

What they said.

From MoveOn.org
It's funny what Republican pundits say when they think nobody's watching. Today, John McCain's former campaign chief Mike Murphy and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan were caught on tape after an NBC interview. They shared their real thoughts on McCain's judgment in selecting Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Pass it on, si quieres.
