Ickle interview

"I would wear a tie to day-care and be asked if I was going on an interview" - Phil

Monkey Island

"You fight like a dairy farmer!"
"How appropriate. You fight like a cow."

Miss you, Lucas Arts.

Jelly beans

When eating jelly beans, one must scrutinize the color extra carefully. 

This could either be strawberry, or vomit.

Bacon pancakes

I have so far watched the Adventure Time "Bacon Pancake" loop for over 2 hours. I want to make bacon pancakes. Take some bacon and put it in a pancake.


[edit] Has anybody else seen that 10 hour loop of Bacon Pancakes + New York by Alicia Keys? (also, I'm really horrible with singers' names.  I kept wanting to call her Beyonce, or Aaliyah.  I seriously suck at it.)

Super 8

Before actually seeing the movie, I thought "Super 8" was about a band of eight superhero children who fought against aliens invading our planet.

TGIF

I love these emails:  "You may get a head start on your weekend".

 DON'T MIND IF I DO.

Pastamoré

My future crappy Italian food truck.

"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, Pastamoré"!!

Box of rainbows

Guest doodle!

After an extra-enthusiastic grab for my hard cider, my fiance accidentally knocked the glass bottle into my teeth. I proclaimed him a butthole. This was his amazing apology <3  Forgiven.

Equality

Love is love is love.

Work fiesta

I work with some of the craziest, most hilarious people.  Our interns threw us a fiesta for their last day, so there were little hats and mustaches and tamales and empenadas!  And dancing.  Can't forget the dancing.  We will miss them!

Cookie pouch

Sweater pockets.  Also known as cookie-pouches.  Use it for good, not evil.

Tickle fights

"i'm falling ow!! help save me!" 
"I can't, you have my arms pinned!" 
"I'M FALLING AAHHH!" -thud- 

Tickle fights always go wrong, especially when there's a hardwood floor to fall onto.

FACT.

T-rex arms

The gym causes t-rex arms.  Rawr. 

Julian

So it has to be said. Julian? Is boring. But what makes up for boring ol' Julian? Hard cider. /flailyarms

Maya Man

My friend, Matt, is my software tech hero.  He can make Maya do whatever he wants with the snap of his fingers.  If it weren't for him, there would be many overturned tables.

Super Cleavage

/fanfare
Never fear!  Super Cleavage is here!

Beautiful day

It's a beautiful day! I'd much rather be dangling my footsies in the water and listening to good tunes.  If anybody knows of a place to do this, let me know now please.

Wedding budget

I was discussing the budget of the wedding with Erin, and it came down to this:

"So, no bears pulling chariots then".

North Park

North Park has some really interesting characters.  I wish I could be friends with this girl.  Also, I want her whale balloon.

Party on, girls

It's ladies day!  GET YER LADY ON!

Half a mustache

I never thought a full mustache on me was necessary.  Wouldn't mind sharing one with someone though...

Chocolate overload

And then Rod brought in a 7lb double-chocolate multi-layer cake. 

Double date

Our double date started at Urban Solace, then moved over to Heaven Sent Desserts. Irish creme chocolate cake, pistachio cannolis, and lavender creme cake - hngggh. Heaven. Sent. Indeed.

Madame Valanche

Meet Madame Valanche, a wizard character from this weekend's D&D. I was told "think Mario Batali, in drag". Done. Crocs and all.

Game of Thrones

Since I've already read the books, when Steven and I watch Game of Thrones together... I generally just like to watch Steven.

Bees?

This totally happened to Matt today as he tried to make it across the parking lot to the lunch room.

BEEEEEES.

Chicken-hat

When the weather isn't crappy (read as hot or raining), a small group of us would go on walks just to get away from our desks.  On these walks, we find out about each other.  Like Josh's absolute hatred of birds.  Sorry, Josh.  I gave you a chicken-hat.

Lauren & Laurie birthday

Birthdays, they are important.  So, when I get the opportunity I like to make people feel special!  Wish I could do this for every single person's birthday to be honest.  Happy birthday, Laurie and Lauren!  Giant cupcakes and physics-defying balloooons forever!

Office pizza

When others in the building get pizza... that's all I want. Forever.

Artist Doesn't Know Pokemon pt 2

Friend Erin described a random Pokemon to me thusly: 

it has an oval body with three black stripes and yellow eyes and big spikes all over its body and then it has three tentacles sticking out of its head. At the end of each tentacle it has a spiky ball attached to it. No hands or feet. And some tiny black spots.

NAILED IT.

Sickness & Downton Abbey

Staying home from work is like admitting defeat.  Sickness can smell defeat from miles away.  Nevertheless, something (from Disneyland, I suspect) took me down hard.  Discovered the show Downton Abbey - almost worth all the snot and phlegm.  And that's sayin' somethin'.

Ghiradelli overload, also engaged!

Our immediate reaction to the giant Ghirardelli sundae from California Adventures.

oh, and also, Steven proposed while getting our caricature done.  I cried, in front of like 50 people.  

Love pancakes

Nothing like early morning Valentine's pancakes! Chock full of healthy goodness... like chocolate chips.  

West Side Story

With my girls Vida and Kacey, I saw the movie West Side Story for the first time last night at the Arclight Theatre.   It was...unique, daddio! Kacey and I dance-rumbled all the way back to the car. And we were amazing.

... when you're a Jet, you're a Jet for life.  Just so you know.

Fuzzy ewok love

Helloooo Nikita, puppy puppy woo woo! Sometimes my boss brings in his dog to work... and it gets talked to like a baby. By me. The lucky little ewok.

Artist Doesn't Know Pokemon pt 1

My dear friend, Erin, described a Pokemon to me which I have never seen before, and I attempted to draw it. Note its beauty.

"this one has a rhino body but looks like he has a giant door face with a big mouth with big tusks, and horns sticking out sideways out of his eyebrow area"

                                                                 NAILED IT.

The sky bottomed out

It was a beautiful day. Sunshine, a few clouds in the sky, a double rainbow! Pulling into the parking lot I thought, isn't this lovely? I open my car door. All the clouds from everywhere in the world rush overhead and they bottom out. HAIL.

I ran, with my purse over my head (which made no difference at all by the way), as the breakroom door opened and a co-worker yelled "HURRY, YOU'LL DROWWWN". Finally, safe inside from the ridiculous rain, those who witnessed the whole event applauded and cheered. I'm drenched. It's going to be a good day.

Coconut coffee

We had a keurig at the studio for a long time.  It was glorious, but the flavors got boring.  So, being that I had been in Hawaii just a few months earlier, it was wonderful to find coconut flavored keurig pods.  Aloooooha!

Carry on my wayward son

Every so often I will return to the world of Supernatural, and start re-watching again from the beginning.  And it makes me want to be a ghost hunter.  Except not really, because I'd probably pee everywhere.

Don't judge me.

When I originally doodled this doodle I was in the middle of creating a bunny suit for the game I work on.  It was consuming me with cuddly joy.  And here it is! I can now show it to the world:

3D!!

First 5k

The Electric Run.  It's a night-time 5k through flashy laser lights and glow sticks and epilepsy-inducing fun!  This was the first 5k I've ever run (would've done the Run For Your Lives, Zombie 5k a few months earlier, but my knee is dumb).  It was hard.

Pentatonix

Ever since their appearance on The Sing-Off, I've been a total Pentaholic (that's a fan of Pentatonix, just fyi).  I finally saw them in concert - and nearly peed myself.  They sing a-capella.  Check them out, because... I said so?

It should also be noted that my boyfriend rocks for getting tickets to begin with. And putting up with my fangirlish squealing.

Draw A Dinosaur Day

Originally, this was supposed to show appreciation toward my friend/coworker, Josh, who brought me a lifesaving Caramel Flan Latte (from Starbucks, because that's what is near the studio).  However, upon realization that today was Draw A Dinosaur Day...

Open Seating

I have a love/hate relationship with open seating.   It provides a great environment in which I can just look over my monitor and ask a quick question ("did anybody else see that light flicker or am I having a stroke?!"), but at the same time it also allows anybody passing by to see what I'm making my Twi'lek model do.

Glade plug-in hate

With the new seating area at work - comes brand new smells.  These brand new smells, however, aren't exactly of the pleasant variety.  

Desk migration

We get moved around a lot at work ... so much so that in 2 months, I went from one area in Building 3, to a new area in Building 2, and then back to the same area of Building 3. 

Disney promises

Steven said we're going to Disneyland next month.  I replied that we need to buy hats. 

Tea Station

A re-enactment of our first date.  The idea here is to not show that we didn't have anything to talk about, but that there's so MUCH to talk about that the boyfriend and I were completely speechless.  That makes no sense.  The real reason the speech bubbles are empty is because these doodles should speak for themselves! No words!
