Why in God's name...

Why would they make this sequal?...it can't be for the money, cuz it ain't gonna make any.
Maybe so they could cast the ugliest kid alive (sorry, that was mean).

This looks worse than Sandlot 2 & 3.

My Childhood Doppelgangers

Due to the adorable pictures of Sunny as a child on her last post, I thought I'd share with you My Childhood Doppelgangers:

Age 5-10 I pretty much looked exactly like:

It's actually kind of creepy how much I looked like her...but my style was not nearly as awesome.

Ages 11-13, during the chubby-puberty years, I pretty much looked exactly like Becky from Little Giants:

...only my bangs were a little more giant.

The Kiss.

Fun little movie made by yours truly and Chris King spur of the moment last night after a big bowl of Mexican salad.

I think it's cute.

Tribute to Cheri, my one true Love

Cheri is the only fish in My frying pan.


When Cheri and I were hardcore into our cowboy and guys in black shirt and Michelobe Ultra phase.



Cheri is fucking nuts when it comes to catching boquets.

Do you Love Terriers?

Jennifer: Age 26

Do you remember being a kid and adults telling you "enjoy being a kid, when you get older the years just fly by so quickly you don't know where time went"? I distinctly remember being a kid, adults telling me that and not believing them for a split second. Come to find out, it is so true.

I turn 26 tomorrow and don't get my wrong, I am SO excited about my fabulous birthday weekend, but I am a little freaked out to be getting past the Early Twenties. I would still consider this Mid-Twenties...but the next year will be Late Twenties, which Completely freaks me out. (I know, I know that age is just a number...and I do this almost every birthday...but it still weirds me out)

I don't really know exactly what I thought I would have accomplished by this point, but part of me wonders if I have accomplished enough for the age of 26. I definitely think I have experienced quite a bit and am very fortunate in that aspect; studying abroad, traveling around Europe with Chris, fabulous experience working at museum for a year, teaching amazing kids for a year, picking up and moving to NYC...I suppose I am pretty pleased with what I have accomplished but in so many ways I don't feel a day over.....22 lets say.

I also think back to mistakes I made or mindsets I was in when i was in high school or in my Early Twenties and thank God I am smarter than I was back then; I thought I knew so much but I knew so little. That is a definite plus of getting older.

What was I doing exactly 10 years ago when I was turning 16? Well, I Wasn't getting my license or a car unfortunately (my poor driving skills allowed my parents to make me wait 6 more months). I had two best friends Samantha (still BFF) and Karen stay the night, then the next morning we went to the West End in Dallas and Magic Time Machine for dinner with my family. Maybe not the 'coolest' birthday to most 16 year olds, but it was a blast.
Most importantly, I got my first video camera for my 16th birthday, I couldn't put it down whenever I got it. I wanted to be a female Stanley Kubrick and took that damn thing with me everywhere.

Ten years later, I may not strive to be Stanley Kubrick anymore (although I still adore him), but my mind is constantly overloaded with ideas and thoughts and goals and they boggle in my head making me not sure which direction to go in first; a blessing and a curse, all these ideas. (OH, animation, no poster design, NO, knitting, stationary design, maybe Bookbinding!, sewing!, No-filmmaking!, zine design!)

If these next ten years fly by twice as fast as the last ten years (according to those adults back in the day), what will I be doing then? Will I have reached all my goals? Will I feel 36 (ughh)? Will I still be in NYC? Will I have kids or be married (so weird to think about)? Will I still be a receptionist (let's hope not)

I'm starting off age 26 in a new city, new life, boggled/brilliant ideas to create, amazing friends and a kick-ass new haircut as of 6pm today.

Jennifer: Age 26 26 26 26, maybe repeating it will make not seem so weird.

Love of New York

I'm now addicted to making movies on my computer...someday soon I will make a movie with an actual plot; beginning, peak and climax involved...but for now I enjoy solely using pretty images and music I like.

Enjoy.

Holograms are Trippy

I'm sure everyone saw this historic technological advancement on CNN during election night, but in case you didn't...they busted out some bodacious graphics that made me trip balls.

Okay, okay...I am exaggerating...by saying "made me trip balls", I meant "made me laugh my ass off and ask myself 'In God's name, Why?' "

These are professional, highly trained reporters; their job is to think of the most effective way to broadcast major events aka 2008 Presidential Election.
Instead I feel like they were all getting stoned in the green room watching Star Wars and saying "you know what would be kick-ass tonight, fuckin' holograms bro!"

And there you have it...

This Kid Rules!!

Check out this kid in the orange shorts I saw at McCarren Pool; he might be the most awesome dancer I've ever seen.

How do you have a doggie in NYC?

Today I was sent a proposal from my Dad in Texas, asking me if I would be interested in taking care of our dog Lucy while they make the transition moving from Dallas to Houston. He did not specify how long this time would be, but my heart immediately jumped at the thought of my sweet little Lucy living with me.

Lucy is the best dog in the whole world and the idea of having her for a couple of months is Awesome!! She is the most amazing dog ever!

Observe Picture Above:

But my question is, how does someone take proper care of a dog living in NYC?
Problems:

• Small Apartment
• Alone in apartment for 11-12 hours a day
• It now gets freakishly dark here at 5pm (WTF is up with that??)
• I live in the ghetto and pit bulls and BedStuy-ites will git us as I walk her in the dark
• I would have to come straight home after work every day, no exceptions
• No social life ( ???)....

I see people all the time happily walking their adorable dogs down the streets; are these dogs really happy? Do they get played with enough? Do their owners have adequate social lives?

Chances are Lucy won't be living in Brooklyn anytime soon, if ever at all...but if she did would the good outweigh the bad?
