Last Photo of 2012 (079)

Last photo of the year, taken on my way to work this morning. I made it to 79 pictures this year out of 365. That's only 21.6% of the year in photos; for 2013, I will strive to do better.

Captain Pecker (078)

I hosted the Vilification Tennis Fuck 2012 show, and one of the prizes was Captain Pecker The Party Penis (that is the actual name of it) a 6' inflatable cock.

Abducted! (077)

This is what it would look like right before I got abducted by aliens.

Working From Home (076)

The Jeep wouldn't start, so I had to have it towed in to get a new battery. Meanwhile, I'm working from home, and I have a lap assistant. Hot Pocket is even dressed for business. Unfortunately, he's terrible at spreadsheets. Also, yes, I am wearing the same dress I wore on Xmas Eve. It's clean, so there.

A Girl and Her Tree (075)

My mom hates googly eyes. One year, Nick and I bought a bag of like 60 googly eyes, and Madeleine put them on everything. Her lamp, her remotes, her coffee maker, her car keys. So this year, while browsing Archie McPhee, I find these "Giant Christmas Tree Googly Eyes" and I had to have them. I put them on the tree while my mom was out of the room and when she saw it, it was hilarious. I love tree.

My Best Grumpy Cat (074)

This is my best Grumpy Cat face. I can't get my mouth to turn all the way down, heh.

Kombucha, Redux (073)

The last kombucha photo I took is one of the best-loved photos on this blog, according to the stats. So I thought I would take another. Once again, I clicked the photo button, I took a swig while it counted down, and this is the resulting photo.

The New Duck Face (072)

I was playing around with different lipstick colors this morning (I've been on a kick, it's unusual) and I couldn't find a way to pose my mouth that 1) showed off the lipstick color well but didn't 2) mean I was making pouty duck lips. Then I got silly. I've decided this should be the new duck face.

My Legs Blue Themselves (071)

Target has these tights in all kinds of colors, and I think I'm gonna get all the colors they have. I bought Moroccan blue and orange flame and candy apple red... need more. MOAR!

Lipstick City (070)

I have bought 4 new lip glosses / lipsticks in the last week. I apparently feel this mouth expression is the best way to display the color.

Tiny Glass Sheep! (069)

I never took a photo of these guys! Nick gave me tiny glass sheep as a Welcome Home From GenCon surprise. They are adorable!

It's Called Barely Nude (068)

I bought new lip gloss. Thrilling, I know. It's very weird. It's sticky, but if I lick my lips, the stickiness recedes. It's "Infallible" lip gloss. So, I guess my lips are currently incapable of error. And glossy.

ANTLERS! (067)

Keeping my antlers up! It's the holiday sale so OF COURSE I am wearing antlers. If you think that's weird, we clearly don't know each other.

Goat Brooch! (066)

I ordered this little guy last year and totally forgot I had him until this weekend! Look how cute! He's a brooch. I want to put him on something, but I'm afraid he'll get wrecked. He's too adorable. Maybe my coat, though. He needs to be shared with the world.

It's Scarf Weather! (065)

I love my dragon scarf.

Ahh, Better Lighting! (064)

Mark and I decided to stop turning on the overhead fluorescent lights and brought in some lamps to use instead. Ahhhh, so much nicer. I haven't had a headache since we changed the lights.

Quieted (063)

Just feeling quiet for once. I was sick from Sunday to Tuesday, and today I feel better but still not myself.

Patriotic Like A Motherfucker Up In Here! (062)

Yup. Now we wait.

Blurry and Silly (061)

I felt like making a stupid face. This is a hybrid of slutty girl duck face and my fish face. Also there's smears all over the camera lens so the picture is all blurry.

Olives for Olive (060)

I had a dirty martini at Burger Jones. We went out with The Citizens, newest inductees into the Kick-Ass Married Couples Club.

Spooky Little Girl Like You (059)

Technically, this was taken on Halloween night, but it's my blog and I'll do what I want with it.

I Vant To Sell You Games! (058)

Bleh bleh. I'm a vampire and stuff. Most of my costumes are too sexy/inappropriate for work, so I put on a wig and did girl vampire. I'm wearing lipstick and it's weird. Weirder than the fangs. What that says about me, I do not deign to know.

Inappropriate! (057)

For Seth and Laurie's Inappropriate Sexy Halloween party, I was a sexy child. They had a photo booth set up in the upstairs hallway. Here's me being... well, me.

Dragon Scarf! (056)

Megan got me this wicked awesome dragon scarf!

Parking Lot Shot (055)

Leaving work, feeling silly.

Vitamin A Power! (054)

Drinking carrot juice. Man, I love carrot juice!

Pensive For RedditGifts (053)

When I get my RedditGifts exchange packages, I always try to take some funny pictures for it. This Trick Or Treat exchange was a fun one to do.

My Name Is Crazy Label Spool Eyes (052)

I got these label spools where my eyes should go. Gimme some candy.

Hiding (051)

Psst. I'm at the bottom.

Half Day, Bitches! (050)

Took a half day, went home and ran 8 miles. Good day!

Ee-vil. Like The Fru-its. Of The De-vil. (049)

Cold weather means I get to wear my favorite hoodie!

Thhhbbbppppt (048)

You heard me.

Candid, Sort Of (047)

This is my attempt at getting a candid shot. I would click the camera button with the mute on and then go back to work. This was the best one out of five. So, uh, yeah. Here's me, doing paperwork. I looked up because someone said my name.

Warm Neck! (046)

Scarf weather! Wooo! Also, I have my hair in three tiny buns to look pretty for tonight. It's Stabby's bachelorette party!

So Close! (045)

Up close. Way close. Why not?

Violet! (044)

Violet was being super sweet and let me take a photo with her that doesn't have her all blurry from scrambling. I think it's because she was sleepy.

The Free "Beer" I Earned At Warrior Dash (043)

This picture is one month old (to the day!) but who cares? Not you! So one of the listed perks of registration for the Warrior Dash was that, after the race, you got a free beer. This is what I got. A tallboy can of Miller Lite. Fucking gross.

Gronk! Gronk, NO! We're FRIENDS! (042)

This is Gronk. He is my stegosaurus. I got him at the Science Museum on Nick's birthday this year. He is *awesome. He sits on my desk and protects me from...uh...well, I'm sure he's protecting me from something.

I Could House Birds (041)

I have given in to the humidity and I'm just letting my hair do its thing today. Consequently, I look like a nerdy lion. Also, it's been like 4 months since I posted. I am terrible at this venture.

Stupid Humidity. (040)

Booo.

How About a Little Nick With Your Molly? (039)

Nick and I went to Kip's Irish Pub for St. Patrick's Day to see The Tim Malloys play their yearly show. It was awesome. We got backstage passes, because that's how we roll.

Not Your Average Joe (38)

This is a rare glimpse of my officemate, Joe. Not rare because he's never here, but rare because I usually take my photo when he's not here. Coincidentally, always. And it seems weird to think, "Oh, I should wait to take this picture until Joe is back so I can purposefully capture his image."

So, uh, yeah. That's Joe.

El Lavaplatos Se Muerta; Dispues, Soy En Fuego (037)

The cute happy fun you see in this photo only came after 14+ hours of dishwasher misery. Our dishwasher broke two years to the day after we installed it. Nick disconnected it, checked for clogs, reconnected it. Still wouldn't drain. Disconnect, check, reconnect. Nothing. Figured the pump was broken. Part cost $200 with shipping, would take 6 weeks to arrive. After much calling of various repair places proved unsuccessful, we went to Best Buy and bought a(nother) new dishwasher. Once that bad boy was installed (after disconnecting the old one AGAIN) we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for well-deserved beer and chicken. We played NTN Trivia and I was muy en fuego.

Doctor Says I Need a Neck-iotomy (036)

My goddamned neck is killing me. It's better than it was, thanks to 3 days of muscle relaxants and sleep and taking it easy, but still. It hurts. It's stiff, it's painful, and it makes me feel queasy all day long.

Symphony of Construction (035)

Elevator in the Candlewood Suites in Austin, TX. Under construction, made me a little nervous.

Drinking Raspberry Chia Kombucha (034)

I'm trying kombucha now and then, because it's supposed to be great for digestion and I have digestion issues.

If you look closely at this bottle of Synergy Chia Kombucha, you can see the thousands of tiny chia seeds in the beverage. The drink has the usual sour-fermenting-kombucha smell, which is unappealing. It tastes delicious, because of the raspberry juice. However, the texture is...well, it's viscous and full of tiny seeds. So, yeah. It's something you just swallow down, it seems. I have chewed the tiny seeds in a mouthful after rolling it around in my mouth a bit, and that's okay.

It's very good for you, though. Chia seeds have 8 times more omega-3s than salmon, more antioxidants than blueberries, and more fiber than oatmeal. We'll see if all that translates into any noticeable difference for me today.

Fashionable Lioness (033)

I'm trying something new with my hair, and just letting it sort of be wild. I like it. What do you think?

Fluffy Hair, Fuzzy Sweater (032)

Today is a comfortable day. This green sweater is utterly fuzztastic. Also I washed my hair this morning, but I didn't have time to style it at all; this is what you get when I dry my hair with a hairdryer and a brush (as opposed to letting it dry naturally curly).
