tonight krisana and i went bowling! weeeeeee! i rolled a three hundred! unfortunately, it was across three and one third games, but still! wooooo!
anyway, i've also been super busy working on stuff. i've got a COMPLETELY NEW DESIGN in the pipe! it's even summery themed, i'll post more once it's done. i've give you this hint though, it's got to do with the thing rob heater and i did most while he was visiting.
i also applied for a job with the geeks who drink as a quizmaster for trivia. i don't know how well i did, but i hope i get a job. if not, i'd like to apply to write trivia rounds, as i am a trivia genius.
anywayz, it's totally summer now. i've busted out the shorts and bought a new AA shirt (it's aqua! totally summer) and i've been scoping my plane tix. i'll be there so crazy soon! i hope my NYC peeps have time to chill. or rather, i hope they make time to chill, because i'm worth it.
peace out!

so i am at work today for the second day in a row, and i realized i haven't been updating this blog as much as it needs to be. so i'll try to make a mega awesome post. my friend rob just left monday after his week stay here in denver. it was lots of fun having him out for a visit, i hope he had a rock time. we went all over the place...the best parts were the flying dog brewery, the baseball games, and the breckenridge brewery, in that order. if you live in denver, definitely stop by flying dog for the tour, they were the most excited about showing people around and giving away free (normally pricey) beer. now that rob's gone, i am beginning to realize i don't really have any friends of that caliber out here yet. i don't know why it's taking so long to make quality friends here, but i have theories. it makes me simultaneously excited to know i'm going to NYC in june for a good visit, and sad because i realize that i live in denver now, so i need to get over it. i've also been working on several redesigns of older illustrations, getting them prepped and ready to be printed. most of you should be happy to know that the worms logo thing from the front page will soon be a shirt (that's been requested a ton), as well as some older designs that no one ever saw. i'm also thinking of updating a few of the single color designs because i've been told that some people prefer them. of course, the people who prefer them didn't phrase it so subtley, i believe it was stated "your new designs suck. bring back the old ones". more hat patterns are on their way too. i haven't been selling that many through the site, and i'm not sure if it's because you can physically try on the hat or if it's the pricing or what. the prices MIGHT come down, as each hat is expertly handmade by the handsome mama and we can control that kind of thing. also, maybe not too soon, but sometime, i'll be adding the jewelry to the site. if you haven't seen the stuff i'll be selling, it's amazing. anyway, it's beginning to look like summer for realz, which is grand. i'm predicting some nice summer's evening out in someone's back yard coming up pretty soon, which is always the best.

so i just now got word that i got accepted to the renegade craft fair! i spent all day thinking that they were accepting people today, and i hadn't gotten an email. i just assumed i must have not gotten picked. weird. anyway, i'm glad i did, because now i can justify a nice visit to NYC.

now i'm off to see transistor radio, if i haven't missed him.

so the museum isn't doing so hot, and they've asked people to volunteer to resign. they'll get a pretty sweet severance package and whatnot, and today was the last day to do it. everything was calm till about after lunch, then BAM! everyone is resigning left and right. i'm suprised anyone is staying... i'd totally have taken the package and gotten a job elsewhere. unfortunately, since i'm just a peon (pee-on) and i get no benifits of any kind it wasn't an option. but then, i'd say being able to play metal slug at work is a benifit all in itself.

i had a dream last night that has sparked a whole train of thoughts today. i had a dream that i was supposed to go to some show here in denver, but i told whoever i was supposed to go with that i wanted to draw instead.

today, i've been at work all day, being bored, so i've been thinking...why aren't there events where people get together and draw? everyone could come, and bring anything they want to use to draw, or there could be newspring and markers and inks and pencils and stuff, and everyone gets a spot on the floor and draws? i think i'd enjoy it a lot. everyone likes to draw something, it seems...

well, as a celebration of finally getting the hats online, i've decided to clear out my older stock. i've been collecting unique shirts, color swaps, and some of the older designs that i just got back from consignment stores. these shirts are WAY cheaper than usual, so grab them while you can! EDIT: be sure and specify which color you'd like in the "comments" section of paypal.

the fencer! this is a color swapped version on a gold shirt.

1 wmns med $13

3 unisex small $13 ea.

1 unisex small (on blue shirt, slight misprint) $10

1 unisex med $13

1 unisex large (slight misprint) $10

grasshopper! this is the same print i run now, but on blue shirts instead. 2 wmns med $10 ea.

1 unisex small $10

1 unisex small (on gold shirt, slight misprint) $8

1 unisex med $10

spaceman! i just got a shipment back from a consigment store of this. people have been asking if i was going to have any of the old prints, so here you go!

2 unisex med (red shirts)$10 ea.

5 unisex large (2 red, 1 olive, 1 asphalt, 1 hot pink print on light blue shirt) $10 ea

heads! this was also in the shipment i just got back. i've always loved this design, maybe it's because it's me times three.

3 unisex small (2 red, 1 ashpalt) $10 ea

2 unisex med (1 olive, 1 red) $10 ea

4 unisex large (2 red, 1 asphalt, 1 olive) $10 ea

well, they're here! the hats are online and ready to sell. these are handmade hats, made in a classic cyclist style. the short caps are made of lightweight cotton or lycra, and the long style is double layered for warmth and reversablilty. they've been in the works for quite a while now, so i'm really glad to finally have them on the site.

this morning on the news, they were running a segment on how more and more people are having cosmetic surgery on their pets, such as getting their ears stiffened to stand up straight, or their noses tattooed to make them darker, or getting neuticles implanted in their dogs after they get neutered. the highlight of the segment was when a doctor was explaining why she implanted the neuticles (apparently, she was somehow involved in the operation) and how happy she was with them. her quote was something like "they look so real, and they feel only a little bit different". gross.

god, i'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, but if i were you, i might have saved this for the moments before the apocalypse, to let the world go out in a blaze of glory. maybe you've got something better on tap...like zombie james brown!

the mighty boosh is probably the best tv show ever. you should watch this episode on a lunch break or when you're at home and feeling depressed because it's winter and all of us are low on our vitamin d. if you like it, it's all on youtube, and you can also get it on bittorrent. breakin the law, breakin the law!

well, here's the first blog. yup. i'm going to try to shift anything i'd normally post on myspace or stuff like i had in the old livejournal over to this journal. so start checking here maybe once a week to keep up on the new stuff going on at the handsome sausage. for example, my mom and i have been working together on a line of hand made hats, and they're coming along rather awesomely. also, i've got 5 new designs coming through the pipe eventually, probably they'll be ready about springtime. so be sure and check back for that. sweet. also, i'm going to work on figuring out how boastmachine uses categories, so i can differentiate between handsome sausage stuff and normal life stuff more easily. rafael! edit: figured out the categories stuff, look for them in the future.
