my first d.i.y. project of the year


i actually probably haven't done many inventive do it yourself projects ever....

but last night i was looking around for a how to build your own rotary clothesline... and i found a site that has a bunch of d.i.y. items... and this one was one of my favorites and i did it today!

it cost me $1.00. the one on the internet suggests going to ikea and getting one for $10.00.

i was at the 99 cent store and saw allen wrench set. and mind you, it's made of plastic (but there is a metal under the orange plastic)... so i assume the ikea version would be more durable.

so what i did was i bought the allen wrench set, unscrewed the attachments, replaced all the allen wrenches with my keys. one thing to note is that you might need to file some of your keyholes to make it fit the screw. the allen wrenches had a metal washer in between some of the different sizes so i just used those to separate the keys a little bit.

they also suggested you file down all the key parts that stick out so it's more stream-line... but that would take too much time and i'm not sure if i'd be able to get them out without breaking a fingernail.

i reattached the nut and the screw bolt... and VOILA!

unfortunately my car key doesn't fit in there, so i attached a mini key ring into the allen wrench and started a daisy chain of key rings.

the reason why i love this project so much was that i have always been annoyed with the fact that when i throw my keys into my bag, that it would scratch my mobile phone, etc.... now instead of 10 keys scratching my stuff, there's only one key... the likelihood of scratching has gone down... right? i think so.

i'm so happy!

i'm your venus... i'm your fire....



i miyagi-ed myself a fly in the house and fed it to the venus flytrap i bought several weeks ago....

the funny thing was that it closed with one of the legs sticking out.

it's so aeon flux...

someone clean out this vent


so i went to the 99 cent store with my mother when i was down in san diego for the chinese new year. as i walked into the store, some shite flew in my eye and immediately turned my eye red. like, so red, my mom freaked out.

i told her to chillax and i decided to put some rewetting drops in my eye.

as i grabbed my bottle and tilted my head up to put the droplets in, my eye immediately honed onto one of the vents in the ceiling.

isn't this INSANE? i wish i saw the virgin mary's face or something instead...

only at walmart


i had to return a christmas gift for phillip because target was cheaper.

while i line, i realized that the lady two people ahead of me had an oxygen tank in her shopping cart.

for some reason, i found that strangely fascinating.

it's like, how come i don't see her shopping at the h&m? that would be so awesome.

lost in translation


someone should tell this dude what molestar sounds like in english.

i know the phrase means don't bother me.... but seriously, i'd bother him to let him know what that means... and then tell him to shave a little bit. it's not a good look for him methinks...

the gateway drug



this is a midpoint between adorable and hilarious.

this is some kid right after dental surgery. so funny!

disappointment


it's always a disappointment when you pull of out a swedish fish candy bag, a half bitten swedish fish.

first thing i do is blame the people who had some earlier.... and then i realize that the other half was still in the bag and somehow, the fish was fatally severed without any rhyme or reason.

yellow swedish fish... mmmmmm.

nessie


i was walking to my car when i saw this bumper sticker.

first thing that kicked in was my ocpd (obsessive compulsive personality disorder, not ocd, which is totally different) and i was like, "hello.... it's on crooked."

i read a short story by david rakoff about the loch ness monster.

this reminded me of hope and being silly.

plus, the next day, the owner of the car parked near me and he was hella hot.

is this considered a subliminal message?



is it me or does the wave of rebranding that happened recently gone mad?

i think that pepsi has the best one so far... as patriotism goes... i think that new pepsi logo looks completely like barack obama's presidental race logo!

you can judge for yourselves!
