tuna fish.

today i am listening to: the heavy- how you like me now?

pretty serious jam out session to that song.

you should probably get all of their music if you don't have it. their song sixteen is also a treasure.


speaking of treasures...
i am having a diamond-studded day
because i finally got the job offer!!!!!!!!!!!!
woo. hoo.
I am now officially the assistant curator of the GRAMMY museum.

i want to die/live forever.

i didn't blog over the weekend because abe lincoln went missing and reappeared late night saturday all beat up. indeed, abe got in a cat fight while living a life of organized crime and returned home with a barrage of injuries.


really badass, yes. but i caused me a lot of worry and money and now i have to give him medicine twice a day while he tries to claw my eyes out.


but he is safe and healing.
so that is great news.

last thursday my friend VINCENT asked me to dedicate a blog entry to him. how can i deny such a wonderous fellow a blog shout-out?


i simply can not.

this photo was taken immediately before vinny broke my camera
by way of flinging it across the club.
camera insurance was a really good call when you have friends like mine.

let me paint a picture of the fellow for those of you who haven't had the distinct pleasure of meeting this honorable young buck.

above is from my alice in wonderland-themed birthday party last year. vinny not only came dressed for a mad tea party, but really made use of the teapots full of alcohol and the recreationable badminton offerings, as you can see by the liquor spilled down his shirt.

below, vinny is seen in a pre-game team photo hitting a fellow croquet competitor over the head with his mallet:

he is the picture of true sportsmanship.

easter 2010. made a tin foil tanning apparatus.

vinny refers to me as "talluah". i don't know quite how this began but it is pretty impressive to remember a nickname created blacked out at 3 AM at the castle.
kudos to team tuna/tallulah.

tuna & tallulah.

tuna gave me a lolli.

as you can see, the man is indefatigable.
vincent is most lovably referred to as "vinny" but more widely recognized as "the tuna" or "tuna fresh".
sometimes i personally like to use the phrase "vinny fish sandwich" which is ultimately appropriate, as i assume he is best served with mayonnaise on white bread.







below you will see a bluefin tuna:

he is basically my favorite thing in the world.


proof of my love for vinny was the evening he decided to call me from his homestead in portland oregon, and told me to google map the town and direct him to anywhere i wanted him to go. he would then send a video of himself causing a raccous in said location.
this is a very fun game.
if you've never played it, message me and i will send you vinny's number.


and yes, he does resemble actor mike starr:

and recently cut his hair like this, for kicks:

here are some much prettier photos:

i miss the boyfriend. i ordered thai food instead of going out to celebrate my new fancy job :/

oh well, three more weeks and he's home.

hopefully i'll be up to my knee bones in creativity and stuff to do.

i'll let you guys know how the first day goes tomorrow.

until then-

it's backflips, burgers, and butterflies in my stomach...
