Why Doves Cry. A remix.

Here it is! My very first sewing project of the semester. I am taking SFL 185R (basics of clothing construction) this semsester at BYU, and our first project was a pair of pajama pants. And yes, it was getting quite late when these pictures were taken. Thanks to my photographer, E-leezy, and my TA-on-the-side, R.Barlow. I couldn't have done it without you.



In case you can't tell, the pattern is a bunch of doves in various colors.
Maybe I'll post more detailed images of the pants once I get them back from being graded. Then you can see the true workmanship...

"Seventh Street Gang" would basically say it all...

Recycled childrens' books made into journals!

By a place called "Attic Journals" located in Portland, OR


I WANT ONE.

Better yet, I want to open a shop here in Provo, just so I can buy them wholesale... and also spread the joy to Utah County.

Dead men tell no tales...

As I was studying for my stats final, I noticed this little snippet off to the side of one of the textbook pages. I thought it was funny.

"A study of deaths in bar fights showed that in 90% of the cases, the person who died started the fight. You shouldn’t believe this. If you killed someone in a fight, what would you say when the police ask you who started the fight? After all, dead men tell no tales."

Ha.

This quote alone may improve my opinion of statistics.

Random Things

These first couple are pictures I took when I've been on campus here at BYU the last few weeks.


I did indeed push the button. I can't say my entire day after that turned miraculously awesome... but oh well.


I took this like two weeks ago in the library! Too soon, I say! Too soon!




This screen saver in the computer lab creeped me out BIG TIME one morning when I was printing out an assignment before my 8 o'clock class. Sorry to whoever this guy is.




This is the beautiful Rose that Carlos got me for our 3-month-iversary. He said it reminded him of me. Yes, he's very cheesy. And, yes, I kind of like it.




Here's some of the handsome guys I hang around with everyday. Carlos and his nephew Esteban.



And, finally.... aren't we cute?

Okay, enough. 'Till next post.

I bought leopard-print stretch pants yesteday!

don't worry... it's just for my Halloween constume. I'm very excited for this year...

Fate

Why is it that my moisturizer, mascara, deodorant, and contact solution all run out at the same time... every time? It's like a cosmic aligning of the planets, but instead of being for my ultimate benefit or fulfillment of destiny, all it means is that I'm out like 30 bucks all at once.

"Nobody 'Cept You"

Well, I had a dream a few nights ago. Let me just say it was a glorious, glorious dream. I was over at someone's apartment hanging out, and they asked me if I was going to the enrichment activity next door, which started in just a few minutes. I had not been aware that there was an enrichment activity, but I said sure, and went next door and sat down. Turns out the activity was Bob Dylan coming to perform for us! THE Bob Dylan!

Wait. It gets better.

Not only was Bob Dylan two feet away from me, singing song after song, strumming his guitar, as I sang along (because my super-power happens to be knowing the lyrics to EVERY song ever)... but I was the only person who showed up to the activity!

I know! Right?

Me and Bob Dylan. Just the two of us. Basically he was serenading me.

And, he wasn't old and ugly-looking like he kind of is in real life. He was handsome and had very blue eyes.

Then, after he'd played a few songs, he got up to go... but before he left he took some coupons out of his pocket and handed them to me. They were for some random store I think.

"They say 40% off, " he said, "but tell them they're from me, and you'll get it for free." Then he winked at me and walked out of the room.

The rest of my dream I don't remember... but i do know that the entire time I kept thinking how jealous Haley would be when I told her I got a private concert with Bob Dylan. Her upcoming jealousy made me sooo happy. (sorry Hay)

When I awoke in the morning and realized it had all been a dream, I was so angry.

Man I could have used those coupons...
