55 Flash Fiction Friday

I have a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow and we are attending Baz's first art class in the morning, so I did my 55 a day early. Instead of using a picture I found, I decided to use a picture I drew myself using oil pastels. It is my favorite work of art by my favorite artist. Enjoy


The town settled down for the night, turning out their oil lamps one by one. Securing the doors with wood planks in hopes not to hear the claws of the beast scratching against oak doors. Many prayers were said before slipping under the sheets. After all they were safe tonight, the moon was not full.

Down by the Sea!

We went to Peter Pipers Saturday, it's a poor man's Chuck E Cheese. If you feel like it you can look at Art's blog.











We took a long walk on a short Pier. Santa Monica Pier that is.












Mmmmmm, funnel cake.







Beep beep, here comes the pier patrol.

55 Flash Fiction Friday

He carefuly arranges the sunflowers in a golden vase, posistioning them just so to capture their individual beauty. He sits back, paintbrush in hand, blank canvas in front of him. A rainbow of paints in front of him. He mixes various yellows and bronzes together. Vincent tugs at the bandages on his ear very gently.

Do you like Salmon?

Do you like Salmon? I know this kitty does.











Baz is looking for fishies in the bowl of water. Here fishy, fishy, fishy!









Baz likes Salmon too.

Kitties and more kitties

I am participating with the ongoing theme of kitties on my family member's blogs. For more kitties check out Artax, Susie and Adeleigh's blogs.

Hollywierd

We ventured out to Hollywierd Blvd. on Sunday to see the Walk of fame and visit the Hollywood wax museum. I am enjoying personal time with my favorite star (below). There were more children there than I thought there would be. Along the way I spotted interesting people and museums. I tallied certain things that caught my attention.



Begging Bum Count: 7
Gene Autry Star Count: 3
Chineese Tourist Count: 21
Scientology Reference Count: 3
Crazy Guy Mumbling to Himself Count: 2
Flaming Gay Count: 1 (only! I guess I would have to come back later, cause the freaks come out at night)

55 Flash Fiction Friday

The wizard said that the life saving elixir can only be made from the crushed blossoms of the scarlett branched tree. The wood pixie carried on through the forest, searching throught the leaves for a sign of the brightly colored branch. She spotted the tree and eagerly flew toward it. The branches were left barren.

Party Time!

We had another fun filled weekend! We attended a quincenera on Saturday. For those of you who don't live in the valley and may not know, it's a Hispanic sweet fifteen party for young ladies to celebrate their becoming a woman. The party is huge like a wedding, and just as expensive. There is a waltz involved with 15 couples and the birthday girl, and now a days the girls are doing hoochie dances as well. We had to leave early due to load rumbling music blaring from the speakers that would have caused young Baz to loose his sense of hearing.

We then spent Sunday afternoon at a crowded Chuck E Cheese. Baz thoroughly enjoyed himself

55 Flash Fiction Friday

A stupid grin on her face, petting whiskers, looking content, but actually trying to block out all the stupidity that he imposes on her. All she hears is "Blah blah". She is actually thinking of which drab, brown dress she will wear tomorrow. "Shall I wear my hair up, the weather might be warm?"

Temple Thursday

STP's frontman, Scott Weiland can't compare to Baz's mowhawk.

Western Heritage?

We went to the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum last weekend. It was the most modern museum I have ever been to. The "artifacts" were about 150 years old, at the oldest. There were exhibits from western TV shows and movies. The actual boots Kevin Costner wore in Dances with wolves! Wow, how historical... not! I though it was rather twisted that there were Native American artifacts there. Our forefathers took their land away. How dare that museum display Native American stuff and Cowboy stuff in adjacent exhibits. Besides that, the museum was pretty neat. Baz actually enjoyed it.

My little cowboy

Temple Thursday

I didn't feel like putting Stone Temple Pilot lyrics on my blog today. So here is a picture of STP in a red room, with Weiland wearing white pants. Since I don't have a picture of Baz in a red room, here is a picture of Baz in a white suit. Have a great Thursday.

Little Bug

I don't have much to say. How could I feel like blogging with out my Aunt Susie around. She is off in Seattle, having fun without me. I must carry on... must... find the will... to blog...

Baz and I go to the library on Mondays because they have book readings and activities for kids. Monday was Bug Day at the library. Baz decorated this rock to look like a "Manly Bug", not to be mistaken with the familiar "Lady Bug". I helped a little of course, how could I resist.

55 Flash Fiction Friday

She sat on her front porch waiting, harboring unwanted thoughts. Will it ever come? Was it lost, never to be seen again?. Is it forgotten amongst an abyss of parcels? Maybe he never sent a letter to begin with. The mailman drove past her house once more. The letter was not being delivered that day.

Temple Thursday

Baz is trying to be like Scott Weiland (shirtless guy in picture below)












Another great Stone Temple Pilots song:

Meatplow

Fine place for a day full of breakdowns
Takes more than a meltdown to show us how
Throw a tak on the raod stop the meatplow
Got a bullet but it ain't mine

They got these pictures of everything
To break us down , yea to break me down
They make us hate and we make it bleed

But I got a lover and she shows me how
To understand, yeah to understand
I got a brother and well he shows me how,
To make amends yeah to make amends with it.

Take a break from this mousetrap we call home,
Takes more than a message to make me smile
I can feel when she kisses me sleeping
But not when the news is on.

In The Wild

Someone help Baz! He is being attacked by wild animals! Oh no! I think we have to many stuffed animals. Darn Beanie Babies are too cute! I got sucked into collecting thoses things once a few years back, along with so many unsuspecting people. You buy them because they are so cute, and before you know it, you want them ALL!

Devil Ducky

I have been seeing these little devil duckies everywhere lately, on the internet and on T.V. shows. I finally found one in a toy store at Universal City Walk. He even came with a little song.








Devil Duckie you're the one,
you make bathe time lots of fun,
Devil Duckie I'm awfully dirty today.

Devil Ducky, when you float,
It's like I'm bathing in a moat!
Devil duckie, you're my very best friend, hooray!

Every day when I make my way to get clean
I find a little fella who's red and yellow and mean

Devil Duckie, you're so swell,
you guide me on the path to h**l,
Devil Duckie, I'm awfully dirty -
Devil Ducky, you're a naughty birdy -
Devil Duckie, I'm awfully dirty today.

I know it's a bit blasphemous, but it is cute too.

Universal City Walk

Our little family spent Saturday at Universal City Walk. The only bummer is that City Walk is right next to Universal Studios, and you get to see inside the amusement park as you walk by. It makes you wish you were going into Universal Studios instead of going to City Walk. Regardless of the heat, it was still oodles of fun.






Here is little Baz playing in the water fountains.

Top Five Movie Scenes

Mr. Ratburn requested a list of your top 5 movie scene of the summer. Here is mine. You can also go check out Art's list too.


"Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". The trip on the way to vegas.










"Napoleon Dynamite". Dance scene. He can really get down.








"Brokeback Mountain". Kiss scene.








"Matrix:Revolutions". Final fight scene between Neo and Mr. Smith





"Devils Advocate". The scene where Keanu shoots himself in the head. I couldn't find a pic of it though. I guess it is too violent.

55 Flash Fiction Friday

Here is another attempt at 55 Flash Fiction Friday.

Little fish swimming in the water. One daring fish strayed from the school, searching for a bug floating along the surface of the water. Suddenly, he spots a worm. Is it too good to be true? He swims up toward the wiggling creature and wraps his fish lips around it. It was a darn fisherman.





Here is a pic of Baz being cute.
