MOOSE

2009-12-15T20:57:00.000-08:00

I want a moose head SOO bad for my new house.

THIS little guy I spotted in the window display. It would be perfect in my navy blue bedroom.

I think this one is beautiful. Its made by Roost, who make the prettiest home stuff ever. If I had a richy rich boyfriend you could tell him to buy this for me as a housewarming present. (but I don't)

ALSO.. I wouldn't mind one of these to name moose...

the best!!

2009-12-12T21:18:00.000-08:00

one piece long underwear are my favorite thing right now.
toasty bike rides and INSTANT PJ'S!

I bought these in both colors and can't stop wearing them.

hmm

2009-11-28T21:12:00.000-08:00

Do I want to buy this poster from the internet?

Part of me says YES! and the other part of me says YOU HAVE TOO MANY POSTERS!

hmmm...
it will look so good in my soon to be aqua office.

i bought this really cool thing today!

2009-11-20T17:28:00.000-08:00

this house.

i'm in love

2009-11-05T21:50:00.000-08:00

not with a human.

BUT..

My friend Peanut emailed me this picture today to make sure my new house has room for this:

and my semi broken heart started beating much much faster.

Record Room!!!!

a couple things..

2009-09-27T22:53:00.000-07:00

1. I'm going as sexy homeless again for halloween. literally.

2. mix of the month didn't happen last month. SORRY. see above.

2.5 claire and davy (and anyone else that wants in) on the club... email me your address. kristin swensen at gangster mail dot com. no space. no angster after gangster.

3. when I finally finish buying a house I'm buying this couch for myself.. and treat anyone that needs to sleep on it with only the finest linens:

ALSO...

HOLY SHIT!! I JUST BOUGHT THIS ON THE INTERNET!!!! (I'm pretty excited about it) I can probably stop collecting records now.

probably not.

best face forward

2009-08-06T00:18:00.000-07:00

frown.
suprise!
smug.
not sure.

2009-07-13T23:07:00.000-07:00

ducky knows all the words.

mix of the month

2009-07-07T00:00:00.001-07:00

I'm really going to do this this time!!! Not just promise and fail like the "favorite songs of 2008" that I never mailed out to 97 percent of people that wanted one. If you want to subscribe let me know.

ALSO.. Please remind me about it if you do not see one in the mail by the end of July.. I'm a shaker not a mover.

shopping saturday

2009-06-20T22:57:00.000-07:00

ALSO.. you can mail me things if you like.

Baller Boyfriend (part 2)

2009-06-11T22:39:00.000-07:00

You can buy my love

2009-06-11T22:27:00.001-07:00

I had a dream about this luggage.

baller boyfriend

2009-06-02T09:33:00.001-07:00

does anyone else love these commercials as much as I do??

Sunday Afternoon

2009-05-24T16:56:00.000-07:00

Sometimes the normal way to spend a lazy sunday afternoon with your roommates is to dress up in matching outfits and take roommate portraits.

When Jeff and Stacy get married, they can use this as their engagement picture:

fun!

2009-05-12T17:21:00.000-07:00

1. If you don't read my iPhone blog you should... it is WAAAYY funnier.

2. If you don't read Marshas blog you should... she posted one of my favorite drawings this week! go see it!

i love this. so much.

2009-05-03T09:35:00.000-07:00

new approach

2009-03-12T22:50:00.000-07:00

I have been sick since monday, but after doing a LOT of sleeping, i'm feeling much better. so....

new favorite thing

2009-03-05T15:45:00.001-08:00

I never knew watching TV was so rediculus!!!

maybe if I don't watch tv until the finale of the next bachelor it will be just as good. I hope so.

text fail

2009-03-02T22:34:00.003-08:00

sometimes I suck at text messaging.

really suck.

i even suck at sexy jokes!

good? really?

office space

2009-02-27T10:09:00.000-08:00

lately i have been obsessed with reorganizing my wokrspace. look how organized my records and fabrics are!

somehow in the process my computer desk got a little out of control...

ouch.

TC

2009-02-23T23:03:00.000-08:00

i got a shit load of text messages on friday night. what can I say.. I guess i'm just that cool.

best home made e card.

2009-02-03T17:31:00.000-08:00

ever.

I don't want to go to that party.

funny story right?

2009-02-02T17:59:00.000-08:00

wrong.

tech support

2008-12-22T22:06:00.001-08:00

the best part about not having a phone is using my rotary phone in the hallway. I haven't moved from this seat in the hallway for two hours. I have taken a record of 3 phone calls.

the last phone call has lasted for an hour (so far) and in which i have been trying to explain to my mother how to import music from a CD into iTunes.

just imagine

2008-12-20T22:29:00.000-08:00

close your eyes and imagine the coolest coin purse you have ever seen. it is neon yellow and says its contents in large brick letters on the front and back: DOPE.

now imagine that filled with not dope, but pirate treasure. Seventy five dollars worth of James Monroe 1$ gold coins.

now put that in my purse in real life and you will have the highlight of my year.

(i would take a picture of it but my camera doesn't work). Paying for things has NEVER been so much fun.

post it

2008-12-17T23:04:00.000-08:00

i'm compiling my favorite songs of 2008. all my favorites from this year. not all. just the top 25.

i will mail a copy to every person that wants one. Every single person.

2008-12-15T21:22:00.000-08:00

empty promises, broken hearts

2008-12-15T20:47:00.001-08:00

I'm never promising to bring this blog back to life again.

my camera is mysteriously broken.
of course.

best and worst

2008-12-11T19:55:00.001-08:00

the best thing ever is a trip that includes lots of nature and lots of your favorite people.

the worst thing is probably when something falls out of your pocket:

you can't tell with this size, but under micro inspection you can see my iPhone in the snow.
When we went back to get it it was under a massive mountain of plowed snow... total bullshit.

if you find yourself here and find my phone, that would be awesome. I'll just be here without a phone until then.

space

2008-11-09T14:42:00.001-08:00

this blog starts back up right now.

2008-10-27T18:01:00.000-07:00

Since I hate Halloween, I'm escaping.

mostly so I can visit one of my favorite people:

and go on lots of adventures!!

and maybe buy a new pair of these:

quiz

2008-10-03T19:50:00.000-07:00

IF.... your knee was really painful and swollen from a bike accident from 5 days ago would you go to the doctor???

if you were homeless and hanging out with a bunch of your homeless friends and saw a girl eat shit on her bike right in front of you would you laugh or help???

if your choices for halloween were sexy tennis ball or no costume what would you pick?

if you were missing just the power cord for your record player where would you buy a replacement?

these are questions that I have been asking my self a lot lately.

sometimes...

2008-09-17T22:57:00.000-07:00

i think i'll join facebook to get an internet boyfriend.

then i instantly change my mind.

who wants to go on a roadtrip this weekend??

shhhh

2008-08-25T18:25:00.000-07:00

road trip part one:

2008-08-03T22:16:00.000-07:00

teej and i took a little road trip to moab. i stole these pictures from him, because my computer has a full stomach.

ALSO.. i'm going on another road trip this week!! more details to come.

extended absence

2008-07-24T00:12:00.000-07:00

i've been way to busy playing (or wishing I was playing) my favorite game: spoon

if you want to play you can beep me or call me on my jesus phone.

comeback!!

2008-05-15T08:54:00.000-07:00

6th place bitches!!

My running contest is pretty much the only thing i have to blog about right now. Maybe in June I'll make a social comeback!!

ALSO... i'm so mad the Lakers won.

losing!

2008-05-12T22:32:00.001-07:00

I'm in a running contest!! and in 7th place. roast.

bike summer!!

2008-05-03T21:32:00.001-07:00

give up and wear sweatpants!

2008-04-28T16:55:00.000-07:00

I have the worst allergies ever.

and i'll admit that my feelings were totally hurt that i got invited to go on a planned camping trip WAY to late to do anything about it. at least that person invited me. the rest of those bitches are on my shitlist.

something new!

2008-04-24T23:12:00.000-07:00

i made a new mix today. you can get a sneak peak here!. and the first person to email me their address will get a copy in the post.

stuff like this happens to me all the time

2008-04-09T20:52:00.000-07:00

sometimes... you have a talk with your roommate about the "game."

then (at an hour you should be socializing) you notice that you are having really ugly hair and go to the grocery store across the street in a sweat shirt. (and ugly hair)
while purchasing hair dye you notice that cheez-its are on sale. hell yeah. then you realize you are hungry and you want a frozen burrito too. but why buy one when a frozen pack of 10 is like a dollar more?

then while you are trying to talk to the self-checkout machine a "hot dude" you kind of know says hi..

and all you can think to say is "do you have a fresh values card?" (shit!)
he says "what are you getting?" (shit!... just as you are scanning the bean and cheese burritos; cheez-its in sight)
"toothpaste"
"oh"
and run away.

no game.

look how uncomfortable jeff looks:

2008-04-05T23:40:00.000-07:00

junk yard!!

2008-04-04T10:54:00.000-07:00

yay team consumer.

2008-03-18T16:09:00.000-07:00

tj bought a new bike. i bought a new camera.

ready..

set..

go..

action!!

lies!!

2008-03-17T17:55:00.000-07:00

when i said this blog is going to explode i was wrong!!!

sorry about that.

turns out I didn't actually get the internet working at my house until friday, but then i skipped town.

i was hoping this blog would explode when i got a digital camera, and that has been one let down after another.

(also.. i haven't been that interesting lately)

the good news is that:
1) i started a new web2.0 blog here if you want to know what i'm doing all the time!!
and 2) roadtrip to philadelphia tomorrow!!

!!

2008-01-31T16:00:00.000-08:00

I got the internet today.. so this blog is probably going to explode.

birthday present!

2008-01-24T23:57:00.000-08:00

if you don't know what to get me for my birthday the answer is:

america's hat

2008-01-23T23:30:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I think I need to work on timely decision making. Moving away from my perfectionist tendencies and thought processes.

This however became an element of fun in my "extreme tour of san francisco." This is took normal driving to dangerous driving and a regular tour to extreme. (plus jokes) I've been here for work all week, and it has been awesome. Tonight I gave two comedic Canadians the tour. I think they peed their pants. Parts of the tour include "let the white hair guy order for you," "really fun hill" (not the one you might think of unless you were in my honda on the 2006 crush party trip),"i feel like buying records now", "this isn't were i meant to go." and "rain!!"

I need to incorporate "i feel like buying jeans now" into my tour.

I'm thinking of marketing my tour.

Millions!

gifts welcome!

2008-01-15T19:49:00.000-08:00

don't forget to come to our housewarming party on saturday night!

bring all your friends, potential roommates and expensive gifts.

there will be no mass text message or group emails involved. (pet peeve)

resolve

2008-01-10T15:29:00.000-08:00

apparently everyone made alot of resolutions to get skinny and start power ninety, because i'm getting alot of strangers coming from this blog all month long.

not my new years resolution, but i decided to add "get to the top of my game" to my 2008 list.

speaking of homeless wishes:

2008-01-10T15:08:00.000-08:00

update!

2008-01-10T14:53:00.000-08:00

i'm back bitches. one of my new years resolutions is to take over the internet.

So my life goal of being homeless actually happened! i can now cross that off my list. it fell somewhere between riding a motorcylce to patagonia and seeing daft punk live.

but now that i'm no longer homeless i have been spending alot of time nesting.

It may be from moving around all the metal furniture that i have up two flights of stairs, or maybe it was the par-kour that i was trying to do in the street the other night, but somewhere along those lines i really hurt my leg/knee! i've been living in limp-town ever since.

I got in trouble for being too obnoxious during the movie national treasure. Isn't that the point?

So Party at my new house next Saturday! its going to be awesm!!!

ALSO.. this is what i did in december:

going crazy.

2007-11-22T15:28:00.000-08:00

being the only single adult in my family = assumed entertainment for seven year olds ALL day. plus cooking.

i'm serious about cool prizes

2007-11-21T14:53:00.000-08:00

tj: you are the winner of this fine, fancy, and convenient device. its going into the mail on friday!

race

2007-11-20T08:20:00.000-08:00

This is the shoe that i want in this exact color combination. The first person to find where i can order it (in the united states) wins a REALLY COOL prize.

try to hold hands with everyone all the time

2007-11-19T22:36:00.000-08:00

apparently i'm really into holding hands.

ALSO... i think it will be much easier to start power ninety when i have 1) a car and 2) a home... but hopefully i'll start tomorrow. i'm already a day behind!

just like perfect timing in a movie.

2007-11-17T00:36:00.001-08:00

i went to lunch with mike today. on the way to lunch we were stopped on third south and main street.

Right when mike said, "but seriously, what is wrong with people in this town?" a truck passed through the intersection in front of us pulling two GIANT bronze elk sculptures.

2007-11-14T00:19:00.000-08:00

fair trade

2007-11-09T19:11:00.000-08:00

I have way too mant dead end crushes right now! I think I would trade them all for one regular crush.

LOL

2007-11-04T23:38:00.000-08:00

this is my favorite thing that just happened:

it didn't stop there:

sexy party recap

2007-11-04T22:05:00.000-08:00

i spent most of halloween asking people for dollars, and sleeping on the ground. I ate a cookie off the ground.

My favorite costume was a tie betwen Elaine's sexy tortoise costume, and Justin Allred's ALL SPANDEX sexy captain america costume. you be the judge:

ALSO... the custest/saddest thing ever happened when i went to my parents house and discovered a basket of king size candy bars and my dog in a clown costume. (and NOT ONE trick or treater.) next year if you know some kids please tell them to go to my parents house. they will hook you up!

boo!

2007-10-31T14:48:00.000-07:00

I hope my "sexy homeless" costume goes over well. I'm serious.

suprise trip

2007-10-25T22:45:00.000-07:00

ok.

one day of tj was just what i needed.

how do you spell awesome?

2007-10-19T19:59:00.000-07:00

i stole this from steven's fridge.

ALSO... two posts in one day! wtf?!

sad.

2007-10-19T10:33:00.000-07:00

today i'm starting to pack up my stuff. my homeless stress is being put off for one more month, as my parents ski house will not be rented until december.. and i'll stay there for a month.

the downside: it is soo far away! its a good thing i haven't sold my car yet.

it's kind of sad to be leaving this house. ill miss this room.

my favorite part of my room is the pink striped wall, which i don't have any pictures of. sorry.

dreadlock drama.

2007-10-18T20:38:00.000-07:00

it turns out that if you ask the internet a question, everyone has answers! this is the best news ever!

so here is my dire situation:

this is what my hair used to look like. (pre-september). It is really long and really thick.

Then one hot autumn day i went swimming in the sea. This Sea to be exact:

Post-ocean swim my hair didn't receive the proper treatment.. and POOF! my head of hair is now nested on the top of my head in ONE GIANT NEST. like a big hair-hat.

If you happen to be one of the average seven to eighteen people who reads this.. and you know of a great way of combing out dreadlocks.. please help.

party recap

2007-10-04T20:58:00.000-07:00

I went to a soup party tonight. (I know.. right)

TV!!

I had a church talk with my kind-of-divorced brother.

I made up a secret nickname for this guy I think is a Dumb Shit.
Its really funny when I use it because he has no idea!!

I said out loud "i should inspect your crotch more often"
in a non-sexual context to jeff.

I roasted cameron (who knows everything, duh) in an arguement that ended with "Oh! you are right.. You DO know more about ipods than me."
Winner.

Q: How long is TOO long??

2007-09-29T18:27:00.000-07:00

A: Six months.

"is it just me, or is there a giant comb STUCK in your hair?"

ALSO.. i love talking about things that irritate me lately.

special instructions

2007-09-24T17:55:00.000-07:00

so i was driving down the street today and there was a no right turn sign where i wanted to turn, then i said outloud before i could even think it..

"i will be disregarding that sign," as i rounded the corner.

which made me remember the sign i saw the other night and had to share with the rest of the internet:

i think this blog is going to make an awesome comeback in october!!

2007-09-20T20:08:00.000-07:00

here is why:
i have nothing funny to say lately!

also.. lack of a camera=boring posts.
also... my start up disk is full so working on my computer kind of suck
ALSO.. I DON"T HAVE THE INTERNET! what is this... the nineties?? seriously.

i don't think i'm going to wash my hair with the end of the summer.

Sarah Sundahl = Awesome 2.0

2007-08-24T14:49:00.000-07:00

My friend sarah is in my top 10 favorite people. We have a record of living across the street from each other and never hanging out.

So you can imagine my suprise when this package came in the mail for me yesterday:

yep. a United States Postal Service padded envelope full of clip on earrings. me and my non-peirced ears couldn't be happier. If you feel like taking a closer look at all 27 amazing clip-on devices:

this is my favorite pair:

thanks dude.

so a long time ago (on danny hurley's birthday) christopher and i were looking for something to kill time and decided to have an octopus drawing contest with each other.
then i decided to hold a nationwide contest.

SO! everybody vote on your favorite octopus and the winner (as promised) will recieve a REALLY COOL PRIZE!

if you want to hear about my trip

2007-07-16T20:40:00.000-07:00

so i went on a trip.

this is a picture of everything i brought with me, not counting the clothes i was wearing.

(also, that is not my computer.)

that seemed like a really good idea until we decided to go for a walk. and it started to rain. it rained so much that i could have jumped into a lake for the same effect. here is a before shot:

this is the only picture that chris let me take with him in it.

i would post an after shot but it turned out really ugly.
this is the part of the trip where packing extra (dry) clothes would have come in handy.

then i went to berlin:

i went to a flea market in berlin and bought some dry clothes.
other berlin activites included making friends with LEGO GIRAFFE

and making enemies with REAL LIFE DUCK

its not like I was trying to make enemies, but it definately tried to attack me.

the rest of the pictures i took in germany were either of scooters or graffiti.

scooters

graffiti

(turns out hoon made it there before i did)

scooter with graffiti

you get the idea.

then i went to London.

chris's cousin hooked us up with a tour of parliment, which was really cool.
i wasn't allowed to take any pictures so you will just have to take my word for it.

while in london i fell in love.

i thought of sending this picture to my mom as an engagement picture, but that joke didn't go over to well the last time.

after london i went back to paris

our hostel lost our booking so we ended up being lost and homeless. we finally found a hostel right next to this place:

so i guess it turned out all right.

we were there for free art day.
one thing thing they don't tell you in the movie is that the davinci code happens at the mall.

we went to Versailles. i would have taken more pictures but i was really grumpy that day.

oh! also i saw this french guy in the metro that looked exactly like my old roommate justin allred! i tried to be sneaky and take a picture of him but it turned out a little blurry. i would have tried to take another but the flash on my camera blew my cover.

but still! they could be twins!

the end.
w00t.

yellowstone

2007-07-13T23:03:00.000-07:00

i got stuck in a crazy hail storm today.

ALSO... i heard it was 98 degrees in utah today. roast.

germs

2007-06-24T05:38:00.000-07:00

i didn't want to use any sketchy bathrooms (and i couldn't ask anyone where one was since i don't speak german)

so i decided to hold it.

which was NOT fun when my train was running late.
