Zine

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

I’m starting a zine. A 1/8 mini zine called Rebel Doll Issue #0. This mini-zine is the preview of what is to come. Things are coming together nicely for Rebel Doll Zine Issue #1.

I’m shooting for end of September for a 10-14 pg 1/2 size zine, a mix of art, music, and random personal articles. Hopefully with local contributions! Which will be available at (my) local record stores and through mail order.

Issue 0 is still available, which you can request via www.rebeldoll.com

    Hooray for Spring, List Time

    Friday, March 12th, 2010

    I’m drinking my last Hazelnut Latte today since next week I will begin my 101 things #93: No Starbucks Coffee for 2 weeks. This is a habit that will be hard to break since there is one that I stop into on my way to work. I’m confident I can do it though. It’s just coffee and there’s free coffee in my office, plus I’ll save some dough. I plan on putting what I would have used for Starbuck in an envelope and putting aside for something special.

    Also, I can cross off #86: Say “Yes” to something you normally would say no to. I’m very particular about strangers asking for cigarettes off me and I never do it. I have my reasons, for instance, I really don’t like the idea of giving someone something that I know is bad for them. Yesterday, after work, though, I gave in. I was in a particularly mellow mood walking from the bus to the house and after exchanging ‘good afternoon’ with a passerby. He asked for a cigarette, and to his surprise, I complied. He looked like he had a rough day.

    In other news, I’m house hunting. I’ve been very surprised at the amazing response from all of my friends and the help that looks like I’ll be getting. I can’t wait to start looking :)

    I’ve had a wonderful week that kicked off with a warm Sunday porch sitting and later an evening at Cocoanut Grove, so I will leave you with a photo from Sunday Night taken by my wonderful friend, Kristen Leep.

    Jason and Jane at Cocoanut Grove

    Hope you all have a great weekend! I think I’ll be starting #56: Blog everyday for one month soon – Just to warn you ;)

    It’s true, listening to the Blues takes them away

    Thursday, March 4th, 2010

    The sun is shining, warmer weather is ahead and I’m going to be pulling out my skirts this evening to plan out the week’s outfits. What a great day, I love Thursdays.

    Winter Blues

    Monday, March 1st, 2010

    I haven’t been posting like I’d like to. This winter is really bringing me down. I’m very much looking forward to Springtime – warmer days, brighter colors, bike riding, sunglasses, skirts, walks downtown, energy, and motivation. Forgive my absence while I hibernate for a little while longer.

    Happy Weekend: More Happy to drown the Blues

    Friday, January 29th, 2010

    Man, January is turning out to be such a strange month for me (physically, financially and emotionally). I’m looking forward to see if February has some good surprises around the corner.

    I’m going to a birthday dinner for Phil tonight and then the beer fairy is driving up to spend the night with us! I’m sure Nick will come over and we’ll nerd out on board games. Good times!

    Here’s a list of ten things that make me happy:

    1. Finding an unexposed roll of film in the fridge
    2. Hugging P.B.ers
    3. Meeting other musician who want to get together and jam
    4. Getting excited about Girls Rock! Indianapolis
    5. Eating Nutella strait from the jar
    6. Writing letters and postcards to friends and family (email me your address and get added to the list!)
    7. Discovering a record in our collection that I haven’t listened to in a long time
    8. Looking at old photos of me and friends (pre-Indiana)
    9. Discovering new ways I can be creative
    10. Making lists :)

    What makes you happy?

    Have a good weekend!!

    Warmth

    Thursday, January 14th, 2010

    Well, today was a lot warmer than I expected, it’s definitely lifted my spirits :) I only wish I had known before picking out my clothes yesterday, I could have rocked a skirt with tights today. Most of the snow has melted. I know that this is pretty much the calm before the storm, February in Indianapolis can be brutal, but I’ll take it while I can!

    Our boss took us out to a post holiday lunch at Weber Grill. The chili was amazing!

    Me today:

    I painted and decorated my nails yesterday:

    I’ve been really inspired by this girl.

    I also painted my toenails glitter chrome silver…because I can. :}
