and speaking of valentine's day...that means it's almost my birthday! i feel old. i feel really down about it this year. to cheer myself up, i picked out a few necklaces from one of my favorite etsy shops, sweetheart sinner. i can never order just one! i think i'm obsessed. here are my birthday goodies that will hopefully be here in time for my big day:

captain kitty:



vintage halloween cat:



creepy octopus:



i want to collect them all! that's a problem.

photo dump

here's some pictures i never got around to posting.

a few weeks ago josh and i went on a special date. i fixed a fancy hairdo:



and we were off! we acted a fool in the car:





and we acted a fool at dinner:









next we went to the elvis birthday tribute. it was held at the playhouse square district in cleveland:



i looove seeing shows at the theater we went to because it's big and old and beautiful! everything is ornate from the ceilings to the floor. i feel so fancy whenever i go there and i'm all dressed up :)











i am not a fan of winter or snow. but i DO enjoy it when the snow coming down makes the world feel like a fairytale: everything is quiet and time seems to stop, and the light snow even seems to sparkle.











babysitting for my cousin and her husband has been great. not only is little charlotte adorable, but i get to spend my days with all these characters!

this is ace. he likes to sleep on the heating vent to keep toasty and warm!





this little cutie is the sister of my own cat, megadeth. they are a lot alike, which is nice because it makes it a little easier when i miss my own cat all day long :)





my cousin beth and i convinced amy that she needed to name this stray dog ted nugent when she took him in. nudge likes to sleep with his head buried (in the couch, in a blanket, in your lap...) whenever he lays down. here, he almost blends in :)



here is another of amy's dogs. i guess he was comfortable! he probably wondered why i was laughing and taking his picture when he was trying to sleep.









last week josh and i went to the bar to see our friend's one man band play. it's called reverend deadeye's no man gospel band and he is GREAT! seriously one of the most talented one man bands i have seen, and i have seen my fair share ; )













i took the week off hot trash last tuesday so we could go see reverend deadeye. if you think of it, tune in while i'm on the air tonite! josh and i have been digging through antique/record stores lately and i have lots of new rock :)

musical monday with batman and robin

last chance to participate in musical monday and be entered into the contest!

here is a band i wish more people knew about. i am dying to see them! they're from austria and i REALLY hope they decide to tour at some point, because i have no plans to visit austria in the near future.

they are modern day superheros who rock out and can't stop saying "UH!" they describe themselves as "two guys in panties who drink off their asses in order to abuse some criminals." they also speak funny broken english. how is that NOT intriguing?!? i also love the fact that when they play live, one of the guys wears a paper bag on his head as a mask.



i was completely won over by them when i ordered their second 7" and it came with a paper mustache that you can cut out and "put it in your ugly face. UH!" hahaha.

they also have some of the best song titles ever:

-my hero power is my mustache!
-unable to speak after drinking UH!- whiskey!
-i feel pretty good while smashing other people
-be my little cat
-wonder what to do? UH! no problem! i have the bat-belt!



you can check them out on their myspace page...for your own good, i strongly suggest you do. UH!
