2010-06-18T10:08:00.000-05:00

so i watched Coraline again last night for the umpteenth time...good lord, that spider woman makes me want to sew every time!!!! something deliciously creepy with a stitched mouth and button eyes...
i'm so getting an Etsy. so, this summer i have been going nonstop and that's probably why i haven't updated in ten billion years! don't judge me! so...i challenge you all to BUY SIMS 3 AMBITIONSSS!!!!! because it came out like, the beginning of June. unfortunately, i haven't had any spare money or time to go get it and spend ten years playing it! D:
but anyways...Sims 3 rocks my world. in case you didn't pick that up already. ^.^

go listen to them! goooo!!!!!!!!
happy summer! :D

i am dead for sure.

you know, i don't think people are so interested in random crap as they are in RANDOM CRAP. therefore, i am changing the mood of my blog to one of totally out-of-the-blue stuff, starting with things that happen on a day to day basis. there'll still be music updates and random finds on Etsy and all that jazz, but...i realized that my life got fractionally more interesting once i got my license.
me and rachiz found the quaintest place down by the beach! you have to go by a trail of reeds and cross train tracks and climb on a bunch of steep hills of little rocks! then, when you finally reach the place, it's this little brook thingy that leads out to the ocean through a concrete tunnel!
we're gonna go thrifting for some rainboots and traverse the tunnel. don't worry, i'll post pictures of this find.
okay, so at Jo-Ann's craft store (if anyone's heard of it) i discovered these cute little erasers! i got a giraffe and a zebra and a penguin.
[penguin not shown]

that is all. goodbye.

year of the tiger?

2010-01-02T12:14:00.000-06:00

heh i just deduced that from creepin on deviantart. so...yesterday, me and my biff [best friend in the world] went out and took a bunch of pictures at this park that has docks and everything. it was cool. i just realized that i post everything the day after i do something, so i always say yesterday.
*Beatles start singing* Yesterdayyyyy...love was such an easy gaaaame to plaaayyyy...
i am so sorry for that.
alright, so...New Year's! how fun, right? i went out with a huge group of buddies to see our town's own Pelican Drop. there was a lot of drunken people and crappy bands hehehe i'll stick with my acoustic, thanks...sliding horns aren't really my thing. XD well, if anyone cares to comment, i'd love to hear people's resolutions!
you really can comment on my blog, you know. it won't kill you.

so...yes. and for the New Year, i have a specially exciting and fun band called Say Anything!

a lot of you have probably already heard of them, but if not, look them up. they're funny.
anyways, yep...have a good new year! :D

ciao!

a blink and a smile

it is a well-known fact that about half the people in my family [immediate and extended] cannot wink without much difficulty. i'm sure you are now thrilled with that knowledge. go forth, and use it to your advantage.
yesterday, i went out to the Graffiti Bridge and walked on train tracks all the way to this place called Hobo Island. it was like...the Grand Canyon of sand. and i sank knee-deep into this mud and it took three of my guy buddies to pull me out. and then i had to have plastic bags on my feet on the way home. XD
so, Christmas is over...i hope everybody had a fun time! now New Year's is coming up. ugh. that means a new semester in school, resolutions to break, and having to remember what year it is when i write the date on my papers. and i have to change the year in my artist's signature. so many say '09, i don't know if i can make myself write '10!
OMG IT'S A NEW DECADE. :O whoa!!!!!!!!

alright, long post but i haven't been on in forever. I HAVE INFORMATION.

look up City and Colour.

you will NOT regret it.

the dude in the picture is Dallas Green, who is, in my opinion, something of a musical genius. all of his chords blend perfectly with his smooth voice, and his lyrics are simply beautiful. go listen to some of his songs, and you try to tell me i'm wrong. go ahead, i dare you. this is my favorite find since StereoMood and glove octopuses!

glove octopi! who knew?

2009-12-18T22:35:00.000-06:00

i was perusing the internet today, as i often do...and i came across THESE!

this is one of the best things of my life!

i don't know how to make them (though i wish i did!) but you can find out how by looking at a local bookstore for a craft book by some Japanese guy named Miyako Kanamori. you should probably look for it, or you can order one for $18 from goodergoods on Etsy!

support your brave independent sellers!

anyways, that is about all for this post, besides the fact that i survived exams!!! yay!

i hope you all have a nice holiday for now, and i'll be back soon cause i have no life when it comes to holiday breaks from school.

peace!

news that's not in papers

2009-12-17T13:39:00.001-06:00

this weekend, i discovered a sad thing.
imeem.com has merged with stupid myspace and is now nothing like what it should be! (i'm quite a bit peeved. imeem was literally my favorite site.) you can still search for random music stuff i put up here, but you'll just have to look it up on myspace, i guess. who knows, you might even discover more bands! (it's always good to keep a positive air about, you know?)
other than that, i had another thing to say.
if you haven't heard of Animal Collective, look them up! i dare you! if you have, good on ya.

it's almost Christmas!!! :D i'm excited, but only cause i know most of what i'm getting hehehe.
oh, and i haven't updated in forever because i have semester exams all this week. but tomorrow is my last day, anyways. history and chemistry. YUCK. so, to all of you with exams as well, i feel your pain and i wish you good luck.
to everyone, merry Christmas!

WHOA! discoveries abound!!!

2009-11-30T22:46:00.001-06:00

GUYS!!!

i discovered THE COOLEST site ever! go to it, go go go!

STEREO MOOD

this is the most exciting discovery i've made on the internet in a loooong time aside from banana guards! [the fruit, guys. be mature. and google banana guards cause they'll make you laugh.] here's how this thing works: you click a mood from the cloud and it automatically pops up with some playlist with songs that go along with that mood you clicked! it's great. i highly encourage you to go to it and make an account, or else you will die from lack of interesting music. NO JOKE. i mean, what's the point of this blog if not to pump it up?!

yep, that's about all, i was just perusing about and i caught a glimpse of this deliciosity. tata everyone! eat your veggies and look up stereomood.com!

gobbling. fat. yay.

2009-11-26T12:30:00.000-06:00

ONE MILLION GIRAFFES PROJECT!

down to business.

alright...i know i don't have many followers [as in none] but i will continue to talk, because one day when i'm famous people will read these old posts! or not. but still.
i have been drudging up some little-known bands. but before i introduce them to you [or remind you that they exist], i HIGHLY RECOMMEND

http://imeem.com!

it's a music site, basically like a search engine for tunes. love it.

okay, on with it! the bands:

CONDITIONS

THE SUNSTREAK

LUNAR FICTION

your homework? look them up!

hasta luego!~~~Ash

well well well!!!

first post in this shiny new blog! i don't really have much to show you yet, but i will. maybe i should start about myself?

this is probably the part where you say "UGH. no one really cares."

au contraire! i'm an interesting person...anyways, enough of this rambling!

my name is Ashley, but you can call me what you want. i will most likely respond.
i am a pretty avid music listener.
i also love reading both books and manga.
i'm a total sucker for the environment...is that bad? :x
there is probably nothing i enjoy more than making art, playing guitar, or eating SweetTarts. yes, that is how it's spelled.
i'm a mixed company type of person.
annnnnd i really hope this blog gets spread like butter.

well, that's me in a nutshell! [should i put a picture of that up?] and i swear, i'll start adding interesting things as soon as i...figure out Blogger...*cough*

tata!~~~Ash
