master copy

my next project for painting is a master copy. we get to choose a painting to rework in class. i chose wayne thiebaud's cakes. i wanted to pick something i would enjoy hanging in the house. i like happy art. my first choice was actually a david hockney painting, then third choice was a magritte (a little dark). i think i made the right decision.

wish me luck. i have a B in painting.

i just ordered me some pink headphones. ladidaa.  i hope they fit my head.

Dear Santa, for Adam.

fat

We drove two hours to the Somerset mall in suburban Detroit. The only decent mall in our area. Our first stop was to the Nordstrom bathroom. We walked pass a large mirror and had to ask Adam if it was a fat mirror. I was pretty shocked how large I looked. I am in serious denial. I asked Adam, "am i really this fat?" he replied, "you are not fat but you are fatter." oh man.. I wish I get some strength to exercise...

I guess the pizza I made friday doesn't help.... someone please talk some sense into me. be mean!

post edit: went for a little jog (i gave up while on it). it was the hardest jog ever. in my life. my teeth, face and ears hurt so bad.  also, my wii board makes this "ugghh" sound when i get on it..

dinner: white pizza with arugula

Adam really enjoys it when I make something new. I am the opposite, I order the same thing, cook the same things, have a million black cardigans. I didn't know what to cook and Adam suggested a pizza. 

I have been using an easy dough recipe found online but it tastes a doughy. Google easy pizza dough and that's the recipe i'm talking about.   I found this pizza recipe on Num Num Chronicles. It was fairly easy to make. The dough again felt undone (I used a different recipe).  I am doing something wrong. Note to self: call mom.

This pizza calls for a lot of cheese and olive oil.  I will try and use less of it next time.

Final result: Adam, "this pizza is so good." I felt it was slightly too oily..

covet: things we love kate spade

I want this book so bad. I have kate spade advertisements since forever ago. also the Marc Jacobs ads photographed by Jeurgen Teller.  I can't figure out where to buy it... :(

i think i want gold confetti at our wedding...

sanma

I pan-fried the pacific saury/mackerel pike/sanma for dinner tonight.  I am going to attempt more Japanese dishes. Adam didn't like it so much. He said it was too difficult to eat (the bones).

I beheaded and gutted a fish for the first time.  It was gross.
