obsessed

May 6, 2008 by genevieve  

ok so i love this trailer- it makes me sick excited.  Though i’m sure you guys don’t give two craps.  I love the way Edward looks at the end of the trailer- the way he smiles at Bella.  AAAAAck!  Oh and I would like to put in a formal request to Sarah to make me an arm cuff that is like Edwards in the last scene before he whisks her away into the trees- doesnt it look like a skull??? 

My sister and my friend Aimee are also sick excited.  I swear i’ve watched this minute thing ten times already.  And when i first saw it I called my sister immediatly and we both watched it together on the phone screaming.  So good.  Yes I’m obsessed but I don’t care. 

Oh and this blog is dedicated to Brian for his hard work in telling me the simple way of inputting a youtube video.  Thanks Brian!

Nick’s 30th birthday

March 27, 2008 by genevieve  

It was my boyfriend’s birthday this March the 25th and I decided to decorate our apartment for the occasion. I cut up 30 clooney pictures (he loves george clooney) and 30 thirtys and one bad picture of Nick.

Here is a close up of the bad picture- Sarah you may remember this one- there hasnt been one that has come close to being this bad- but the one of him in the kayak comes close but that one almost seems fake he looks so gimpy- this one is just pure badness and that is why i love it

Here is the cake I made him (its carrot cake)

Home improvement junkies (and we are not talking Tim Allen here), especially those that are into older homes might want to enjoy this website just like I do: http://www.houseinprogress.net/about.html

Lots of design ideas, hearbreaking mistakes, newbie restoration fumbles and all sorts of stuff that you may or may not want to try yourself.  If you are as obsessed with DIY Network or This Old House as I am (God I’m a geezer now) you just might want to wander there.  Check it.

Here are the pictures of a waterfront condo being transformed into a stadium, in a desperate attempt to cheer up my boyfriend from a ’supposed to be amazing trip that was planned for more then a year’ that turned into ‘a weekend from hell’ to watch the NCAA basketball tournament live in Buffalo. My sometimes ingeninious (sp?) brain concocts odd plans to execute, and this one turned out pretty damn amazingly well, if i don’t say so my conceitedly so self. A poster/banner hung on the apartment door titled ‘Minckler Misadventure Merioral Centre’. As you walk into the apartment I tranformed his kitchen into a food station with all the triming that would be found in an arena. Fresh french fries in the classic fresh cut fries container and popped popcorn in the classic popcorn bag all ready for when he came home from work, with hotdogs cooking for him keeping warm on the coils similiar to 711’s style, peanuts in the shell, and of course - LOTS of beer in plastics cups ONLY. (See pics below - i hand crafted them just an hour before out of shoe boxes, tin foil, candles, etc.)

I of course dressed up as his favorite teams cheerleader, made pompoms and tied ribbon in the hair. I bought a stuffed animal to be the mascot, and bought foam swords to be the distractors during free throws, i attached a large image of the team to his coffee table to be the centre, I turned the sofa into the team bench with a team banneracross the back, including large images of the mascot, and taped pics of cheering cheerleaders up under the tv (to give a more stadium feel).

I then transformed his living room area into crowded stands by platering the walls with pics of crazy crowds - i had to include ‘the drunk guy in the crowd’, the ‘pretty girl inthe crowd’ staple shots, and of course a few empty seats and the nose bleed section of the masses way up high in the stands.
