my poor tonji

I took my big 'ol cat to the vet yestserday for what I thought was an eye infection, but it turned out to be far worse than that. They suspect something under his eye (like an ulcer? or a tumor??) which is making it swollen, and apparently there's something wrong with his jaws. UGH. And this morning I wake up and my macbook does not turn on! oh..why does stuff like this always happen at once? Therefore I come to you this morning from my husband's laptop, sans picture. I will update later today with (hopefully) good news and pictures.
A small prayer for tonji!

I'm guilty...

I guess the question is: who hasn't flushed a public bathroom with their feet? I sure have. MANY MANY times. They should have thought of this a long lo~ng time ago. kudos to the designer.

wedding announcments

These were wedding announcements which were sent out to friends and family who are abroad. Of course, hand-made. Though I used a punch out for the dragonflies used on the lower left corner. I used different whites and off-whites, but unfortunately you can't really see that in the picture.

the trekky self...

The new Star Trek movie seems to be getting some pretty good reviews, and I'm actually inclined to go see it. And in conjunction to this new release, Entertainment Earth brings to us a replica of Captain Kirk's original swivel-throne chair from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. I'm sure people pee'ed in their pants when they saw this..I myself think it's kinda neat..but for $2200?! I don't think so...

I'd rather get this..now THIS is cool:

Retro Mini Handheld offered by ThinkGeek

It actually plays old school cartridge NES games! Who wouldn't want to play those awesome retro games in the palm of your hands...and all yours for 50 bucks!
Happy Friday!

sweet dreamer

You know that sound a cat makes when they are looking at birds out the window? Trying to mimic the bird's chirping. Pretty darn cute. Well, Kuro was taking his usual nap by the balcony doors when he totally started making that sound in his sleep. I swear to you his eyes were closed and he was not looking out the window. Do you think animals dream? I wonder... I think Kuro was dreaming of catching some dinner...

magazine

I've been working on this magazine cover design for a small contest over in NY. phew... I've been up late and waking early to get it done..here's a sneak peek. The black is thin washi paper and cut out, and i've pasted bright bold colors behind it. yep. papercutting at it's best.

quite funky, eh?
