Annual Throat Coat Marathon Winter 09

It had to happen sooner or later. I've been hit, hard by my annual yearly sickness. Usually it will stay at bay till about January but it was feeling a bit anxious this year. Luckily, I have angels like B.Kanther to bring me medicine and watch tv with me.
I'm trying to actually get some illustration work done but I get dizzy if I sit up too long. Instead I made a sick day playlist:

'Simple Overture' by White Shoes & the Couples Co. from s/t
'Wedding' by Shelby Bryant from Cloud-Wow Music
'The Lantern' by The Rolling Stones from Their Satanic Majesties Request
'Two Thieves' by The Compulsive Gamblers from Crystal Gazing Luck Amazing
'Golden Apples' by Country Teasers from Destroy All Human Life
'Night Running' by B-Film from Plastic 7"
'You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'' by Nancy and Lee from Nancy and Lee
'Green is the Color' by Pink Floyud from Soundtrack for the film 'More'
'Dark Sky' by Les Maledictus Sound from s/t
'Empty Boat' by Caetano Veloso from s/t
'The Nightingale' by Angelo Badalamenti from Twin Peaks Soundtrack
'Julie With...' by Brian Eno from Before and After Science
'Flute Thing' by The Blues Project from Projections
'Home at Last' by Steely Dan from Aja
'Love With Fun' by Riz Ortolani from Cannibal Holocaust Soundtrack
'Whatever You Like (cover)' by Anya Mariana from Gossip Girl
'Hellhole Ratrace' by Girls
'No Chance to Choose' by The Contents Are from Through You
'Silver Cloud' by la Dusseldorf from La Dusseldorf
'Room 33' by Greg Ashley from Painted Garden
'Simplicity' by Ace of Cups from It's Bad for You but Buy It

I had to put the T.I. cover because the most ridiculous Gossip Girl occurrence happened during that song and I was watching it earlier this morning when I woke up puking.

Cut Your Fringe?

I've been in love with these fringe necklaces since I laid eyes on them but they're so expensive.

30 dollars.
59 dollars.
75 dollars.

If you're not using precious metals in the chain(s), no way no how.

Instead I found a DIY site that shows you how to make them (with step by step instructions from surprisingly, Urban Outfitters).

Instructions HERE

It takes about 10-12 bucks and a couple of hours if you keep making mistakes like I did but the end product is awesome.



(I did deviate from the instructions. The chain is sewn under the hem tape but I like being able to see the metal. Instead, I closed the hem around the fringe and sewed the chain on top, a stitch every other link.)

Pearly Girl

I'm obsessed with this song.

And Another Thing!
