shoot to kill

So some people were scared of me when they heard of my propensity to strike my friends or random guys at clubs. Invariably these tales ended up with someone falling over, and me saying "I'm not that sorry."

Now check this out . . . This past week I was invited to a shooting range. This was awesome. Vivian and Portia (both small asian women about my size) like shooting guns. Especially this big rifle. This is a close relative of the gun the military uses in Iraq.

I shot 40 rounds. 38 hit the target. I'm not sure where 2 went. 37 or so were in the black area that I was aiming for.

I think most surprising was the way the shooting range smells. Like burning latex gloves. Or an intense copymachine.* special thanks to Mikey for lending me materials and showing me how to shoot.

SUSHI PUPS - DOGGIE TOY SET

Check out the dog o-nigiri. Silly hakujin readership . . . I didn't mean that it was made out of dog meat, but, these are sushi toys made for dogs. I like that uni looking one. If i had permanent access to dogs, I would purchase these toys and let them chew on them. LOVE IT! (via kayzee)

Does Your Dog Like Phish?

Does your dog spin at Grateful Dead concerts?

Does your dog go through periods where he giggles at everything and then eats or takes a nap?

Does your dog not like to brush his hair?

Does your dog avoid culturally oppressive norms like "marriage" or "monogamy"?

Does your dog play the guitar?

Does your dog know the way to San Jose?



If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, he may need the above "Hippie Dog Costume" (via kayzee)

Ravinstyle: Kara Janx Silk Kimono Dress

Kara Janx, of Project Runway fame, designed this dress. None of her other crap from the show looked this good. I guess it's true that the act of observation changes that which is observed. She's doing much better now that she's not designing for her competitors or moms or whatever. I love this dress. Even though it's accentuated with pink, and I abhor most pink things, I would wear this dress everywhere.

valentine's day

should be renamed "singles awareness day" because people in relationships try to forget and people who are single are forced to remember.

Branch Knit Octopus

Check out this octopus. Do octopi even get cold? I can imagine happy babies chewing blissfully on each of its tentacles.

Belted Shirtdress

I am forever looking for a shirtdress that doesn't make me look like a boy. I think that this will do the trick though. It looks like a crisp linen-ey fabric but curves to fit your body well. I love the idea of a dress to avoid picking out "work separates." It's just easier to plan your outfit!

tokidoki Wall Decals

Tokidoki is the best!



I love the skull-esque heart and crossbone pattern. If i had a hip cafe or a little boutique, I'd use em all over!

Downey Cops

not only has my dad been pulled over because he "looked mexican," but downey cops have a long history of harassing people of color. read below:




Accusations of Racial Misconduct
In recent years, controversy has sprung up with the 2002 shooting of unarmed 26 year old Gonzalo Martinez by Downey police officers during a traffic stop. Gonzalo was being stopped due to suspicion of drunk driving. After finally surrenduring to police only after a chase, police claim that he made a questionable movement with his left hand which caused them to open fire. A local resident caught the action on camera and the tape of the shooting was released in the US as well as Argentina and other Latin American countries, showing the man being shot over 30 times by officers using semi automatic weapons. This case is still being investigated.
