5 Things I'm Obsessed With This Week: 1/30/2015

I'm on my last day of my 30 day challenges except for the arms which are 31... yeah should have paid more attention to that one. So while I'm finishing that part of my resolution up I thought I would put up what I'm obsessing over this week for you little bots to check out.

Nessie Ladle:

Its so cute and I really want it for my kitchen to put my other ladles to shame!

Sushi Socks:

Don’t know if its because I've been wanting to eat sushi lately or that these would be amazing on my feet...

Chain Chronicle:

A Sega mobile game that I recently put on my phone and sadly have become addicted to it. It's a fun little RPG that was released back in December to the US, find out more by clicking the picture down below.

Sailor Saturn:

I finally have a Sailor Saturn figurine, I broke down and bought one from Barns and Noble (I have two 2o dollar gift cards from them so it only cost me 9 bucks, sweet deal!). For it being small it is supper detailed and I like the fact that you can change out the face and hands easily.

Super Bowl 49:

You know I will be routing for my beloved Seahawks to whop on those cheating Patriots. Fingers crossed I don’t get a heart attack while watching the game, it's going to be a close one and I'm already nervous.

I'll catch you little bots Monday if my heart hasn’t given out by them.

Back From A Break

Hey little bots, I'm back from my retreat from my mom's house of gathering materials for my Poison Ivy costume for ECCC and to spend some quality time with my mom without anyone else.  It's so strange going back to my childhood home, mostly due to it being ripped up from remodeling.  It's slowly coming together but with worker coming in and out of the house it's hard to relax until the leave at 5pm.

Besides hanging out with my mom, I gathered many supplies for Poison Ivy.  I have the body suit, the fabric for the bustle, embroidery floss and material to sew the embroidery pattern, and random other sewing supplies.  All I need to do now is to make my duck tape body forum and put all this shit together.  Side note I bought some ivy leaves off of amazon but the company sent me the wrong type of leaves, but they were cool and are sending me what I originally  bought and letting me keep the other leaves as a gift.  Still wait for the leave to come in, if they have not arrived by the first week of February I'm ordering from another company. 

Returning home as usual my man lives like a bachelor and the place was a mess.  So this past weekend was cleaning house, laundry and buying underwear from Victoria's Secret.   I think for now on I will buy underwear either on line or for Nordstrom because VS is a zoo full of misleading signs and idiot customers.   Never. Again.

This week I'm finishing up on the clean up work for the documentary, and looking forward to hearing what the cheap ass director has to say after my last email i sent today.  Have a good week and stay busy little bots.

Film Stuff And De-Fluff

Happy MLk day little bots.  I'm typing to you all from the ferry so this will probably be a short post. Are you all still buzzed over the Seahawks win last nigh, I sure am and still in a haze that we won.  Love my team.

This past week I had another women in film event that I had to go to since I am now the greeter/money take for all events.  The event was a presentation for "the art of the pitch" which should have brought in more people but with the heads of the bord for our region are so against social media, we got a smaller turn out than what we would like.  This coming Saturday is a member meeting to discuss how we can improve this organization.  WIF defiantly needs a new view point and heads of the board to make it successful.

The other part of my week I was busy cleaning up audio for the documentary film that I will be working on in March.  These pieces are for our client Shorline water front restoration who wanted clean audio from there beach walks this past summer.  If you know audio I can head you groaning about all the uncontrollable noise in the background.  It's pretty bad but I got most of the noise down and just need to go over it to duck or cut out some pop up baby cries.  

In other film new I recived a blind email asking me to do some Foley work. I've been emailing this guy back and forth all week trying to figure out what he wants out of this 2 minute foley scene which he cut it down to 1:40 in hopes to cut cost.  But what he seems to jot comprehend is the Part he cut didn't have that much Foley so it really doesn't change my original quote.  I'm having my doubts about this project since I don't have a company email and he stated that this was a labor of love for over 2 years. I get trying to get work for free when you re starting out but maybe next time plan out a budget and time frame before you start your film.

Besides film, I've been really good at sticking with my 30 day challenges.  I'm already feeling super strong in my arms, I can feel the muscles and see a little bit of them.  My abs are getting stronge which is helping my back so much.  The thighs feel stronger but can't see much of a diffrence.  I know I need to really up my cardio to see one of the results.  So far I'm proud of myself and can't wait to show you little bots my progress.

Well this is longer than what I thought it would be.  This week I will be at my moms to get some much needed supplies for my Poison Ivy Cosplay.  See you bots in a week!

Bitch'n Friday: Workout Challenge Update

I'm alive little bots! I survived my outing up to crazy Capitol Hill and back in one piece.  So I said I would write a post for you today so here it is.

 I'm half way threw my 30 day squat,abs,arms,and thighs challenge and I'm feeling a difference already.  I'm not seeing any physical changes but I probably need to up my cardio to see any change really. 

In my arm's my biceps a feeling bigger and lifting things isn't as shaky.  The butt and thigh areas have not slimmed down but the mussels have gotten bigger in the inner thigh area, so if I'm to have large thighs why not be muscular instead of the fatty hams that they are.  Should start going a bit lower in the squats to really maximize the glutes area.  Now the abs no physical appearance, that nice fat layer of warmth is blocking the view.  However I'm feeling a lot stronger in my core area and it seems to be helping with my back. Now my back still hurts but I'm finding more mobility and less pain than before. 

I don't have any good before picture but I will take a picture this weekend to at least to a comparison between half way threw the challenge and after.  Are you still keeping up with your New Year resolutions or have they fallen off your radar.  If you have and tips/trick to share with me leave them in the comments below.

More Death and Body Talk

 

Good Monday little bots. Hope last week was better than mine, I'm all ready sick of the new year. I just want to hit the reset button and start over. If you follow me on twitter you already know why if you don’t well I'm going to explain to you now.

As many of you know who read my blog last month one of my mom's horses (Annie) had to be put down. This cause a lot of stressed on our last remaining horse, Sackett, who was already having heart issues and feeding problems. For the past several weeks since Annie's passing Sackett had been moping around, barreling eating, and losing a lot of weight. With a these thing he became weaker and weaker until my mom had to come to a very difficult decision to put him down. We discussed it on Tuesday and planed for the next day for him to be “put to pasture”. However it had to be push back to Thursday due to the vet not having the medicine to knock him out before you euthanize until late that afternoon. So my mom decided to push it back to Thursday so she can have a proper hole to put him in. So sadly the very last childhood pet is gone, I miss him dearly. He was hands down the best riding horse any rider could ask for. Love you Sackett, you are missed.

In between balling my eyes out and thinking about my horse, I was working on the audio clean up for the documentary I received last Friday. It's going well the only major issue i'm finding is the consent boom pole handling. It's like the audio tech could not stop moving his or her hands up and down the pole. I've cleaned up as much as I could with out messing up the dialogue but it's still faintly there and its bugging me.

I've also been very diligent on my 30 day work out challenges. I feel a bit stronger and i've noticed a slight difference in my arms, my thighs still look like shit so I might have to repeat that challenge.

Along the same note, I ordered a body suite from amazon to use for my Poison Ivy costume that I'm making for Emerald City Comic Con. The Suite came in later that week but it didn't even come up to my breasts. This suite featured off to the left side is supper small if you have a long torso. The cup size was right one the bikini bottom became a thong and the front half gave me a massive camel toe, so ordering a “larger size” (they only go by bra/cup size) would be pointless if I had to do some major stuffing that would not work at all for my costume. Needless to say it was returned the very next day and I already got my money back from amazon.

This week I'm still working on the clean up audio and I have a Women In Film event this tuesday up in Capitol Hill. I hate going up to Capitol Hill at night, so many weird people and that uneasy feeling like you are going to be mugged. So see you friday if I am still alive then.

Top 5 Picks For January 9th

Happy Friday little bots.  I couldn't think of anything to write about today, my mind has been a little frazzled over the past couple of weeks dealing with my horses and having to put them down.  So I just want to do something quick and light for this weeks Friday post.  So why not do a top 5 things I'm obsessed with for this week.

Jem and the Holograms Comic:
I grew up on Jem.  My sister had all the dolls, the sound track, and taped all the episodes.  Naturally I found myself loving it as well.  When I heard that there is going to be a new comic about Jem threw my monthly previews catalog from my comic shop I filliped out.  I'm going in this weekend to add it to my stack of comic that I pick up each week. 

Check out IDW for more info.

CES 2015
It's that time of year where technology meet convention and shows us where we all are going to throw our hard earned money at this year.  Consumer Electronic Show was this past week in Las Vegas and as usual it did not disappoint.   What I was most excited about was the 3D printing pen.  To me I can see a lot of uses for this device in costuming and making random stuff for gifts.  You can read more about the pen at 3D Former  and more info and product from CES click here


DC New Power Girl Design To Appear The New Teen Titians
I really dig the new look they are putting on Tanya Spears.  Her new look will debut in the upcoming Teen Titans coming this February.

Check out more info here: Hit Fix

Man Vs Pin
On the ThreadBanger channel they have a segment called Man vs. Pin where this guy takes pinterest pins and tries to replicate the pin.  This series has been going on since last year but I just recently discovered it so it is new to me.  Check out the posted YouTube video and to see more head over to ThreadBanger's YouTube page.

Real Life Peter Griffin
Just watch the video and be amazed.

So that's it, I'll see you all on Monday.

New Year And Some Work

 

Welcome to a new year little bots, hope you all are sobering up and getting back into the swing of things after the holiday madness. If you have read Friday's blog you would know that I had posted my New Year resolutions, well more like taking a few 30 day workout challenges and not have to worry about completing anything else for the rest of the year. Just about every day I've been posting my progress and thoughts on these challenges and all I can say is that I like rest days.

For New Year's eve our friend and the infamous girl friend of horrors was to join us in watching the fireworks show at the needle. They were suppose to come over at 8pm after dinner with some other friends, but after 2 and a half hours and nota single phone call it appeared they were not coming over. To my surprise my man also seemed to happy about this which I can not blame him since he had work the next day. So we enjoyed some homemade stuffed meat balls and chicken and planed to go to bed right after the fireworks.

All that was foiled by a phone call 20 minutes before 11pm from the friend stating they found parking and will be at our apartment in a few minutes. This pissed me off, if you are going to be late have the curtsy of calling and letting us know. And when they did arrive the girl was drunk and high as a kite, and pretty much couldn’t walk on her own. She slept on our couch until we all left for the firework. After the show my man and I both hoped they would leave after 30 minutes once the traffic was better but as usual they stayed until 2am. She slept on the couch while he chatted away.

I found out a few days later that when asking my man why he invited his friend over for New Years, he said that he didn't. His friend asked if he and his girl could stop by since they were going to be down in the area. Lesson learned for my man, if you have work early the next day don’t let people stop by and stay late. Next New Years no one is coming over.

After a few days of trying to get my sleep schedule back, I meet up with my director buddy to pick up some files and money so I can start work of her project. These files I was only asked to do a light clean up and to be done around March. So much time and she always gives me extra leeway to work. Love this lady!

So far so good with this new year, fingers crossed I find more work and a great part time job. See you bots Friday for another blog rant or something.

 Haven't done a bitch'n Friday blog in a while, this year I'm defiantly going to be more diligent on my posting this year. I will probably fail at this again this year like I did last year. Speaking of failing at New Year resolutions this year I thought this year I would do some 30 day challenges. So instead of putting them off and never doing them I've lumped them all into one month and jus get it done and over with. Yesterday I mentioned this on my twitter and will probably be posting my progression there if you want to know how i'm doing go there. So here are the 4 challenges that I've picked to do this year/month.

30 Day Arms:

30 Day Abs:

30 Day Thighs:

20 Day Squats:

In addition to these i'm also trying to remember to do more walking/jogging to help shed off the blubber that has formed around my body keeping me supper warm. With any luck I can get some fat disappeared by the time ECCC comes around. Let me know if you little bots have any New Year resolutions or any tips you may have for me. See you Monday!
