cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (SHOULD BE BEHEADED FOR SSSSTUPIDITY)
[After an incredibly long absence, for Cobra anyway, Cobra Commander's made his return to the Pokegear. And he's in one of those weird nondescript rooms the Goldenrod Rocket base is apparently full of.

And there'd be some nostalgia over the fact that he hasn't broadcasted from here in quite some time, but he's too busy being mad.]

I sssspent months of planning, months of making sure everything was perfect! Only to fall victim to not just the handiwork of a couple of do-gooders, but of a ssssaboteur! But make no misstake, I am in no means deterred from continuing to do whatever I can to try and make thissss world mine! No prison, no act of ssssabotage, no ssself appointed heroes, nothing will ssstop me! Nothing!

[He's basically angrily shaking his fists at the camera. Wow.]

In fact, I will not ssstop until the world is mine, or the day I depart from thissss world! So if I were all of you, I would hope the latter happens sssssoon enough!

[And that's the end of his public tirade. Now if you're a Rocket, there'll be a message for you guys as well.]

cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!)
No! No! No! No! No!

[...that sure is Cobra Commander throwing a fit in what appears to be Azalea Town. Apparently he's not happy everything's back to normal now.]

I don't care if thissss happens all the time, this is unacceptable! Completely unacceptable! I want my command center back and I want it back now! I dissstinctly remember having one!

[ He remembers a building and pushing buttons. Something may have been launched. That's about it. He doesn't even remember where it was, which leads to his next demand.]

And directions to where it is! Because it certainly wasn't in thissss miserable place!

[Yup, for the record, he still hates Azalea Town. In fact...]

If anything, ssssomeone should raze thisss stupid town to the ground and replace it with something useful!

[He's not going to do that today though. No, instead he's probably going to fly out of here right away and go somewhere that doesn't inspire him to cause new acts of stupidity.]

cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!)
[Hey everybody, it's Cobra Commander on the feed again. Probably about to start rambling about that news broadcast again. Or not, since the subject of his broadcast today is something else entirely.]

I would just like to ssssay before I am falsely accused of anything else, that I have absolutely nothing to do with the bizarre weather today!

[Because seriously, why is there a snowstorm in June? What on earth is going on here?][Which should be pretty obvious to anyone who was around for the day Cobra Commander rampaged in Pallet Town with Pokemon using weather attacks...and got arrested for.]

Ssssso any attempts to pin thissss on me will be met with ssswift and effective retaliation! So don't even think about it!

[And with that done, he's going to go back to figuring out what to do about that news broadcast a few weeks ago.]
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (MY LIFE'S STORY IN ONE SPEECH BUBBLE)
These crystals are far, far too dangerous to be left here where anyone can get use them.

[Cobra turns the camera away from Fuchsia City's crystal that he was focusing on and towards himself. His slightly charred self. Guess who's been trying to figure out how these things work via trial and error? And it's been mostly error. Yup, lots and lots of explosive errors.]

Therefore, I've taken it upon mysssself to personally see to it that they don't fall into the wrong hands! Whose hands are those? Pretty much anyone's hands that aren't mine!

[...that part probably wasn't a surprise to anyone. What might be a surprise to the viewer though is what Cobra pans away and up to what appears to be...quite a few Magnezones using their magnetic powers to levitate quite a few Steelixes above the crystal.

Amazing what one can do by pulling rank on some NPC Grunts and taking advantage of the general craziness.]

As you can see, I've put together enough firepower to easily take down thissss crystal! And once that's done, I'll move on to all the others! And then the remains will be gathered up and-

[Cobra's cut off as the first Steelix gets essentially launched into the crystal.]

No! Sssstop! Ssstop! I didn't give the order yet! Sssstop it!

[They're not stopping.]

I sssssaaid ssssstop!

[The feed ends there.

But for anyone in Fuchsia City, Cobra's still standing in front of the crystal, shrieking at the Pokemon to do as he says...and occasionally dodging chunks of crystal sent flying by the bombardment. This isn't even remotely how he wanted this to go. And yet somehow, this isn't exactly a new experience for him either.]
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (NOT MY FACE MY BEAUTIFUL FASSSE)
[Today's video is Cobra Commander, who appears to be back in his usual blue outfit. With another prom over and done with, his one decent set of clothes has disappeared into whatever closet it lives in for most of the year.]

I would like to set the record straight about a few things that happened over the weekend. First, ssssome of you may have seen me doing the unthinkable at that ridiculoussss gathering. Yes, I was in fact...

[Hang on. He's having trouble actually putting this into words. The indignity of it all.]

Fine! I'll come out and sssay it. I was washing dishes!

[There. He said it.]

But what I would like to make completely clear is that I was not forced to! Yessss, I was told to, but if I had decided not to go along with it, I could have easily refused! In fact, I could have made sure that no one ever asked me to do ssssuch a menial chore again!

[Overreacting? Nope, not him.]

Which brings me to the second thing I would like to point out. If anyone, anyone at all thinks they can force me to some ridiculousssss chore again, I don't care who they are, I will make sure that they regret ever attempting to do so!

[The feed ends there, so apparently that's it.]
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (NOT AGAIN WHY DOES THISSS KEEP HAPPENING)
[Today was supposed to be the big day for Cobra. The day when everything went right. Certainly not the day where it rained on the morning on his attack, making it a pain to record video or take photos. And certainly not the day where his metal bird got shot out of the sky by Raichu. He was actually glad there wasn't any footage of that.

Really, it'd been a mixed bag at best. He'd done some damage, but retreat and recovery had been a complete disaster. Hopefully, the others did better.]

This morning the Vermilion City Gym was the target of a carefully planned aerial attack by Cobra forces. Let this be a reminder to you all that I can sssstrike anywhere at anytime. Anywhere! Without warning if I sssso choose!

[And not that he really feels like it, but there's some villainous laughter at the end of the public feed. Now to check in with the others.]

[Private Audio to Attack Volunteers]

By now your attacks should be underway, if not already finished. So I demand to know the results of them. Report in as ssssoon as you hear thissss message! And you better have succeeded!

cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (NOT MY FACE MY BEAUTIFUL FASSSE)
[Today's video seems to be accidental in nature. The Gear's not near Cobra Commander, but he's visible in the shot, and doesn't seem to have any idea it's on. He's clearly yelling at someone, but whoever it is can't be seen in the frame.]

What do you mean it's missssing? I demand you check again! And keep checking until you find it! Do you have any idea what they'll do to me if they find out it's missing? Or any idea what I'll do to you? Because I guarantee that whatever Team Rocket does to me, I'll pay back to you tenfold!

[Yes, he apparently just outed himself as a Rocket to everyone watching the video. As if it wasn't already painfully obvious.]

Now go! Get out of here! And don't come back until you find it!

[Done with that, he turns around, notices the Pokegear, and just...stops, staring at it. If his expression were visible, he'd be looking horrified right now.]

What? How did this get here? Wraith, were you playing with my things again?

[And after picking up the Gear.]

This was recording? Sssso everyone saw....no! This is a complete disaster!

{OOC: So yeah, Cobra sure did out himself as a Rocket. And as to what's missing...it's nothing. There'll be an OOC post and another post later this month/early next month explaining more of what's going on, but basically he's up to no good again and trying to be sneakier about it. Keyword here is trying. And this was approved by both Sunny and Alex!}
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (SSSSSO MANY SHUPPETSSSSS)
[The video coming from Cobra's Gear today looks like several of his prior videos. He's seated at a desk, looking right at the camera. The eyes under the hood might look a little strange, almost like a Shuppet's, but other than that, same old Cobra Commander as always.

On the desk is the odd Halloween treat bag, and it's possible Cobra's going to talk about it, or maybe about the ghost swarms, or maybe about any of the weird stuff going on the for the last few weeks, but...he doesn't. He just stares at the camera, not saying a word. After staring long enough that it might seem entirely possible Cobra messed up and this is a photograph not a recording, something really strange happens.

Cobra's head, hood and all floats off his shoulders and flutters around the screen before zooming off camera. And soon after, the feed ends. Halloween may be over, but Cobra's Shuppet really couldn't resist playing a trick on everyone.]

[Audio, about 30 minutes later]

[And that everyone apparently includes Cobra judging from the amount of yelling going out over the Gear now.]

Who did thissssssss? Who dared to break into my house, stuff my uniform with paper, and sssssteal my hood? I demand to know who was responsible for thissss! And how you got past my defenses! That should be impossible! I sssswear I will find you, and when I do I'll make you regret ever pulling thissss stupid prank!

Sep. 17th, 2013 04:57 pm
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (NOT MY FACE MY BEAUTIFUL FASSSE)
[Cobra's not in that weird office room he tends to use for broadcasts today. No, today he seems to be recording from what looks like a house. And the focus isn't on himself, but instead what appears to be an assorted pile of junk. There's a backpack that has definitely seen better days, a sleeping bag, and oddly enough, six jars of Combee honey.]

If this was meant to be a gift or sssssome sort of appeasement, then I suggest that next time you try offering ssssomething I would actually want! Not thisss...thisss garbage!

But this is hardly the reason for me addressing you today, no, I have ssssomething far more important to discuss!

[And now the camera's back to him.]

No, I would like to discuss....Pokemon eggs! Or more sssspecifically the sale of them! Do you people ever think about who you're selling them to? Or what they're going to be used for? After all, these things are basically weapons, and you have no restrictions on them, no checks to ensue that the buyer is ssssomeone who can be trusted with such a thing, or even that they are who they ssssay they are!

Case in point, I've purchased a number of eggs from the lot of you, ssssome under fake identities, and some without any ssssort of false pretense whatsoever, and allow me to show you what your oh ssso generous unregulated Pokemon egg industry has given me!

[There's a Pokeball being held up to the camera now.]

Inside this ball is ssssomething that would be very difficult to obtain on my own. A rather destructive Pokemon, with a moveset the likes of which would take ages to acquire through regular channels! And while I was tempted to show it off at the time of purchase, I chose instead to wait, and reveal it in all of its fully evolved destructive glory!

[There's some fumbling with the camera as Cobra brings the Pokemon out and once the camera focuses, that's definitely a Tyranitar in Cobra's house. A Tyranitar that's roaring. And throwing his arms around. And those arms just took out part of Cobra's wall.]

No you idiot! Ssssstop doing that! Sssstop it! You'll bring the whole place down!

[And the feed cuts there while Cobra tries to keep Tyranitar from wrecking what's left of his house.]

cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (A REAL AMERICAN HERO)
[There's a face or lack thereof on the Gear today that hasn't been around in a while. Cobra Commander's making his first broadcast since June, and for that matter, seems to have missed the memo that it's currently August.]

Thisss month is almost over. And next month brings a very important day, one that any Americans here would be extremely familiar with: the Fourth of July! Independence Day!

[Yeah, he still hasn't checked the date on this thing.]

And even though Johto and Kanto don't celebrate thisss holiday, I sssee no reason to let thisss occasion pass without some sort of celebration! Therefore, to mark that day, I've decided to sssstage a fireworks demonstration! Yessss, a Cobra sponsored fireworks demonstration sssset in a major city! And there's nothing anyone can do to ssssstop it!

[And Cobra's broadcast concludes with some evil laughter before the screen goes black.]

{OOC: Had to take a hiatus for the past two months due to some family stuff, but I'm back now. Cobra's been glitched to explain where he was, which is why he thinks it's still late June.}
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (NO ONE ARRESTS COBRA COMMANDER)
Thissss is impossible!

[What the video shows might be confusing to some since Cobra is somehow back in jail. And in complete disbelief over it. ]

Imposssssible! How? I demand an explanation for thisss!

[Not an explanation for how he got here so much as one that explains why he can’t get out. Not with his Pokémon, and not with the weird hairdryer thing laser pistol he’s waving in front of the camera. And last time he checked, the buildings here shouldn’t be blastproof.]

I demand to know who is responsible for thisss…thisss…thissss impossible reincarceration! Once I find you, I’ll have you shot for thisssss! Do you hear me? Shot!

[He hasn’t exactly figured out how he’s going to shoot someone through this glitched cell though.]

And ssssomeone get me out of here! Now! I don't care what else is going on! This should be your number one priority!
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (SSSSEATBELTS ARE FOR LOSERS)
[Video A]
[Today’s the 8th. That means another video (or three) from Cobra. He’s standing next to a building in Pallet Town wearing what appears to be a winter coat despite the fact that it’s May. And he doesn’t seem to be very happy about his demands being met.]

I had thought that the threat of complete annihilation would be enough to get what I want. Apparently, I was wrong. Apparently mere words are not enough to convince you all to make the right decisions even when those words come from someone such as myself. Sssso since I failed to convince you with words, you now leave me no choice but to offer a demonstration of what I’m capable of.

[And with that, Cobra produces a small remote from his pocket and pushes a button.]

Keep an eye on your PokéGears. Ssssoon you shall have proof that my threats were far from empty!

[Video B]
[About fifteen minutes after the first broadcast ends, there’s a second video from Cobra. Same location as before, but there appears to be some sort of freak storm going on. Hail, lightning, high winds, and even some snow. Cobra’s keeping his Pokémon off screen and separated in order to make it look as natural as possible. Or well as natural as a freak ice storm in early May can be.

And the whole time this is going on, Cobra’s cackling like an idiot again. Unfortunately, this goes on for quite a while before he cuts the feed.]

[Video C]
[Tired of Cobra yet? Yes? Too bad. There’s a third video sometime later, showing the aftermath of the storm. Nothing’s leveled or anything like that, but the Pokémon equivalent of Home Depot is probably going to be pretty busy over the next couple weeks or so.]

Take a good look at thisss! Take a good look and remember that next time, it will be wor-

[Okay, hang on, there’s something off screen taking up most of Cobra’s attention.]

Under arrest? Is thissss some sort of joke? You dare arrest me?

[After several minutes of arguing and trying to threaten his way out of this, Cobra’s finally handcuffed.]

You can’t do thissss to me! You’ll pay for thissss! I have rights! I want a lawyer! You’ll pay for thisss!

[And with that, Cobra’s final video for the day comes to a close.]

{OOC: Okay, here’s the attack/arrest that goes with this. Just let me know which video(s) are being responded to. If anyone’s actually in Pallet Town, feel free to encounter Cobra or one of his Pokemon. He has Castform, Vanilluxe, Electrode, Drifblim, Gyarados, and Abomasnow with him.

Additionally, responses to Video C will be coming from Cobra's jail cell!}
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (SSSSTOP LAUGHING AT ME)
[The video today is somewhat different from Cobra’s normal videos. For one, it’s outside. Two, he hasn’t really gone to any lengths to hide his location. Lavender Town’s music can clearly be heard in the background. Three, he has the camera pointed to the sky.]

[He’ll just leave it on as the sun sets and the moon rises, displaying…the same moon there always is. At this point, the video begins to resemble a usual Cobra broadcast since he’s not very happy about whatever it is he was trying to show.]

What? Imposssible! I distinctly remember-

[A bunch of scattered things, but he’s pretty sure the moon was involved somehow.]

Why is there nothing there? Thisss can't be!

[And Cobra shuts off the Gear there since whatever he wanted to show people isn’t there. Apparently he wasted several minutes of the viewer's time for nothing.]

{OOC: So since we’re allowed to remember things from this 4th Wall, Cobra Commander remembers flying towards the moon with the intent of doing something. What exactly that was and whether he succeeded or not is unfortunately something he doesn’t really recall. He’s going to assume he succeed though because he can’t see how he could fail at anything!}
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!)
[The following broadcast from the Commander is audio only, and he is definitely not in a good mood about things. Then again that’s what happens when he expects victory and instead gets defeat. Especially when said defeat was seen by an entire stadium’s worth of people.]

Allow me to make one thing perfectly clear: that idiot won out of luck, not sssskill!

[He is of course, referring to his tournament match against Crow Hogan. Which was won using a smart strategy, not luck!]

Luck! That’s all! There’s no way he could’ve have beaten me otherwise! No way! And not one of you had better say anything different! Or else! One thing’s for ssssure though, I’m going to enjoy watching his next opponent, whoever it may be, wipe the floor with him!

[The transmission ends there.]
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (SSSSSO MANY SHUPPETSSSSS)
Private Video for Rockets )

[When the public feed starts, the first thing that might be noticeable is that wherever Cobra is seems to have some fancy Shuppet print curtains on the outside of the windows.

…oh wait, they’re moving. Not that Cobra’s noticed this; he has much more important things on his mind.]

One million dollars. One million dollars to the person who finds the man who stole my chair.

[Said money may or may not be sheets of paper with Cobra’s face, good only for the day when he rules the world.]

Attached, you will find a list of aliases and identifying characteristics. Good luck.

[And sure enough, the information comes up on the screen shortly.

Name: ???
Aliases: El Zorua/The Fox
Location: Unknown, but prior information indicates they are familiar with the Cianwood/Olivine area
Identifying Characteristics: Male, Spanish accent, familiar with history, primarily American history
Reward: $1,000,000 for live capture and successful delivery to Cobra Commander

Sep. 11th, 2012 03:20 pm
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (DON'T YOU DARE!)
When are these sssstorms going to end?

[For those listening in, there’s the typical cave music and…splashing? Also some sounds that could be the noise from Grimers moving around.]

This is ridiculoussss! I’ve devoted countless hours to planning my attack, and now I can’t do anything! Not a sssingle thing!

[Cobra’s way too mad to bother with lying or trying to not look completely harmless here.]

How could thisss happen a second time? I haven’t been here in years, and yet the ssssame thing happens that happened last time! This is no mere coincidence! No, it can’t be! It had better not be! So help me if I find out that any of you or your Pokémon are responsssible for this, there will be consequences! Dire consequences!

[What follows next is a rather odd noise. The sound of a combat boot connecting with and sinking into muck. It seems that at that the end of his fit, Cobra Commander decided to kick his Grimer, and now his foot is stuck.]

What is thissss? Unhand me at once! Right now! I’m your trainer, and you will do as I ssssay!

[There’s a thud as the Grimer lets go and Cobra hits the ground. Unfortunately, the Gear also hits the ground, ending the audio broadcast there.]

May. 31st, 2012 04:24 pm
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (OH GOD GET IT AWAY)
[Cobra Commander actually managed to do things this week besides complain, and because of that, there’s two badges sitting on the table in the video. The Rainbow Badge and the Thunder Badge to be precise. Meaning for those who keep track of these things, he can actually use Fly now, obtained Strength, Giga Drain, and Thunder, all of which will be put to use at some point.]

Sssso that makes four. Three Gyms in Kanto, and one in Johto, and none of them have been worth the effort! Not a ssssingle one! I'm amazed that you people even bother with going around, trying to get them a-

[His rant is cut short as a Haunter sneaks up behind him, and in one quick move, yanks the hood off of his head. The camera moves from the badges to the laughing Haunter holding his mask.]

What? Give that back! Right now!

[The feed cuts out there.]

{OOC: Badges are mod approved, of course.

He'll be responding after he manages to get his mask back.}
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (WHAT'SSSSS THAT OVER THERE)
It has been twenty four hours, and I am not one million dollars richer. Nor I am the owner of the HM Fly. And I’m definitely not the owner of a city! So you leave me no choice!

[There’s a click as he pushes the button, but no giant explosion. Inside the Game Corner, a lone bomb goes off taking out a slot machine and doing light damage to the wall and things around it, but that’s it.]

What? Where is my explosion? Did they actually- Impossible! This is unacceptable!

[The sound of the remote hitting the wall and cracking can be heard.]

Make no mistake about thisssss Johto! There will be consequences for thissss! Dire consequences!

[The feed cuts out here.]

Mar. 6th, 2012 09:21 pm
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (CITISSSENS OF THE WORLD)
[Hey look, it’s Trubbish again. Not much has changed over the past couple weeks. It still looks like a happy trash bag. What has changed is the Commander’s attitude about it. He sounds pretty happy, nowhere near how he acted around Valentine’s Day, but still pretty pleased about the “garbage” he’s showing all of Johto. Especially after he realized what it was, with no help from anyone else, of course.]

Guesssss what, Johto? I was wrong! It’s not garbage! It’s a Pokémon! And not just any ordinary Pokémon! It sssspews poison gas! Isn’t that amazing?

[Despite his question, he doesn't really care if anyone else shares his enthusiasm for using Pokémon for things like this.]

36 | Video

Feb. 21st, 2012 02:04 pm
cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa: (SSSSURROUNDED BY INCOMPETENCE)
[Much like his last video, Cobra’s camera is focused on the mysterious egg he got for Valentine’s Day. The egg seems to be close to hatching since several cracks are visible in the shell and the sounds of something moving inside can be heard.]

Are you all watching thisssss? Pay attention! I want everyone ssssee what comes out of this! That way everyone can get a good long look at the newest member of Cobra!

[After some more cracking, the egg hatches and reveals…

After staring at it for a few moments, Cobra Commander decides that this thing isn't a Pokemon at all. No, it's clearly a busted trash bag someone drew eyes on and shoved inside a Pokemon egg. What other conclusion could there be?]

What is thissss? Is thisss some sort of joke? Who puts garbage in an egg? What idiot is responsible for this? Ugh, it ssssmells horrible! Horrible! When I find out who did this I'm going to..I'm going to...they'll regret doing thissss that's for sure!

[Following his rant, the Commander ends the broadcast.]

Wheat Cents

Secure Your Wealth in Value Commodities

Wheat cents are the up-and-coming rare coin in relatively common circulation today. The ability to deduce value in the future is normally difficult. However, in the case of wheat cents, this future value is economically sound.

Eventually, pennies will no longer be minted. The next course of action will be removing pennies from circulation. As time progresses, the laws surrounding melting pennies should inevitably change as the penny no longer functions as legal tender (read about the current penny laws forbidding melting of pennies).

The interesting part about this is that wheat cents are made of 95% copper and 5% zinc just like the regular copper penny (with a negligible amount of tin). So when the law changes, and copper pennies start being widely and massively melted down for their copper content, wheat cents will inevitably disappear along with the copper pennies. So what does this mean?

Wheat cents will no longer be in circulation, no longer be easily obtained, and the amount of wheat cents will diminish dramatically between people collecting them and others unintentionally melting them down. When rare items become significantly rarer, their value rises exponentially. This is basic supply and demand. To assist our coin collector customers and copper penny investors with capitalizing on wheat cents, we offer unsearched wheat cents for sale through our sister website. Supplies of our wheat cents are highly limited based on our very strict purchase requirements so availability may change from time to time. Explore our current offer by clicking the link below for products available and pricing:

happy hallowe'en!

happy hallowe'en!

yes i know we're in australia but it's all a bit of fun really. i love an excuse to dress up in a costume and have some drinkies!
are you celebrating today? have you had visits from trick or treaters?
i haven't luckily, all i have in my cupboard is water crackers and fat-reduced, salt-reduced 2-minute noodles... that kind of fair would most definitely get my front yard toilet papered i think!

Saturday, October 30, 2010

saturday prettiness.

the weather and my camera refuse to play along today, so i thought i'd share some pictures i took last time i was visiting my parents a little while ago (too long ago if you ask my mum...)

how is everyone fairing as we come to the end of blogtoberfest? exhausted? motivated? happy? disappointed?

i know for one i'm fairly motivated, both for blogging and crafting (though the weather has put me off crocheting heavy woolen blankets at the moment...)
big blogtoberfest wrap up tomorrow i think. oh and i need to get through the list. i've browsed only 15 of the 270 blogs so far, so i know what i'll be doing all afternoon tomorrow after work :D

Thursday, October 28, 2010

before and after.

wednesday morning was hairdresser day! i popped in, got a fresh dye job aaaaaand a new fringe :D
curlypops and i decided we would both do a big reveal today and i even remembered to take a before picture.

and an after picture... don't mind the photo-bomber in the background there... that's the boyfriend, he thought it to be hilarious that i was taking photos of myself to put on the internet and insisted i put this one with him 'ghosting' on here. also, the lighting is pretty bad, it's still the same colour but without the brown strip down my part (ewwww regrowth!)

it would seem that this week is the week of new hairstyles with curlypops and car getting a new do too!
did you get your hair done this week too?

my creative space.

today my creative space is this jungle...

and these are my tools...

i'm off to go and get my hands dirty and my backyard tidy!

plenty more creative spaces over with kirsty!

some blatant thievery...

seeing as i'm absolutely pooped after a big day of tradies, hair appointments, shopping and dinner hostessing (boyfriend had some friends over), i thought i'd play along with vic...

the first song that comes up when you press shuffle on itunes...

mine was

piano man by billy joel.
well actually, the first thing to come up was an e-tutorial about hypertension from last semester at uni, i thought billy joel might go down a little easier ha ha.

4 things... chunkychooky style.

i thought i'd give kath's little meme as i've both run out of treasures, and haven't charged my camera.
so here goes.......

4 things that i always carry
1. my phone, seriously i'm lost without it.
2. lipbalm, love blistex!
3. keys, i feel naked without them, and have a mini panic attack when i can't find them.
4. knitting or crochet, there's always an on-the-go project in my bag :D

4 things that are in my bedroom
1. uh, my bed? it's the best thing in there seriously!
2. crafty stuff, 90% of my craft stuff lives in there. i really need to get around to organising it all actually...
3. clothes, everywhere, all over the floor, even though i pick them all up daily. not my clothes mind you...
4. mass amounts of wool. it's everywhere!

4 things that i would like to do but haven't done yet
1. buy a caravan and travel around the country like a gypsy.
2. open an etsy shop (that i can run whilst being a travelling gypsy).
3. cook an entire cookbook from start to finish.
4. manage to grow some vegetables in our backyard (need to stop those damn possums munching everything up!)

4 things that you don't know about me
1. the sound of whistling really hurts my ears, much to the boyfriend's disdain.
2. i could live in pyjama pants, 24/7.
3. i enjoy reading textbooks, but only when i'm not forced to...
4. i like chewing gum that tastes like bubblegum. guilty pleasure.

4 things i often wonder
1. how the world around us works. i think it's why i chose science.
2. why my wireless internet reception randomly fails every night.
3. why people do such horrible and cruel things to one another.
4. what i'll do tomorrow.

thanks for posting this cath!

at my house...

today at my house,
we're unpacking after a lovely weekend away.
a basically-technology free weekend away, hence the distinct lack of blog posts.

hope you all had a great weekend, i'm off to do about 238791 loads of washing.
see you all tomorrow!

what's going on at other people's houses? you can see over here.

ps. i had a great, BIG night on thursday, so great i forgot to pack my camera and laptop (perhaps the real reason for no weekendy blog posts...)

Thursday, October 21, 2010

my creative space.

is full of cramming today.
and primping.

i have my last exam tonight at 6pm so i'm both preparing for the exam and the partying that will ensue afterwards.

reading all about pharmaceutical treatments of hypertension whilst painting my nails.
learning the difference between cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic oedema whilst waiting for my hair to dry.

it's bound to be a fun night, once the horrible exam part is over and done with that is.

more creative spaces.

making do.

on monday afternoon, the boyfriend had a job interview.
he was getting all suited up, popped on his nice new white shirt, only to realise that he was sans cufflinks.
the shirt had come with these elastic knotted things with a button on one side to keep them in place. i figured i could come up with something a bit more stylish :D

i took one of the elastic knotted ones apart and using the elastic and some old buttons made these shiny new ones.
what do you think? not bad for a 10 minutes job hey?

hope you're having a good wednesday wherever you are!
oh and i only have one exam to go now, life will be back on track soon :D

Tuesday, October 19, 2010

2 down, 1 to go.

exams that is...
i had my first one today and it went a little better than i was expecting.

now instead of studying for tomorrow's exam (which is 100% absolutely necessary at this point), i think i'll block out some hexies in the sunshine :D isn't it an amazingly beautiful melbourne day?

Monday, October 18, 2010

at my house...

i'm eating a nice healthy breakfast on the couch,

so i don't get too distracted from my studying. mmmm gonorrhea, goes great with muesli.

but i'm dreaming of places i'd rather be...
(hasn't my ripple grown a little?)

play along with lou lou.

flea market finds.

oooooopsies. i'm a little late with this one. just a day though...
and it's for a good reason, i was actually studying yesterday huzzah! motivation has struck when exams are only a day away (not the greatest timing there...)

for aforementioned reasons, not a lot of op-shopping going on here, so here's one i prepared earlier (and by that i mean bought about a month ago)

i found this cute little belt the same day i found my < href="">vintage sunnies (so maybe more than a month ago then...)
i lurrrrrrrrrve it because
a) it was 99 cents. that's LESS than a dollar! amazing
b) it matches my peacock shoes almost perfectly! i can match my shoes to my belt and pretend i'm a stylish fashionista (i like to dream you see...)

more fabulous flea market finds with sophie.

grateful for...

the weather.
i know everyone hates this crappy, awful weather but today i'm really grateful for it.

if it was sunny and lovely, i'd be wanting to be out in it. weeding and pruning and planting in the garden or just going for a nice long walk.
but instead, the weather is horrible. so i'll listen to lectures for revision and crochet in front of the heater. much more productive for my exam marks :D

there's much more to be grateful for over in maxabella-land.

giving thanks.

i'd like to take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone!

thanks to those that entered my giveaway! the two winners were international readers, one from sri lanka and one from canada.
it amazes me when people that i know read my little blog here, let alone people that i don't know AND from all over the world!
so thanks to all that regularly read my blog too!

and thank you to everyone who has visited my blog over blogtoberfest, it makes me feel really happy and quite blessed that all new people are coming across my little corner of the bloggy world.
thanks to tinniegirl and curlypops for organising the entire event! it's such a great idea and i can't wait to finish exams and their horrible associated study to get cracking through that lovely, long list of bloggers taking part!

and finally thanks to miss rollinginfabric for the lovely bag that is decorating this post!
i really love the ribbon with the measuring tape printed on it :D
and it's a great place to keep all the hexies yet to go on her blankie...

hope you all have a great weekend!!!

drum-roll please...

as i had a fair few entries into this giveaway, i've decided to use the technology available to me, instead of writing out 42 names by hand and drawing them out of a hat i'll use the random number generator...

so without further ado, the winner of the first prize (big box of craft goodies including but not limited to: buttons, beads, paper embellishments, ribbons, wool, fastenings & embroidery thread) is....

number 33! which is peach rainbow!

i decided to have a second (minor) prize as well, because i had so many entrants aaaaaand because so many people commented saying that they loved the little pink box (i only meant the little pink box to be a prop because i really wanted to have a hundred-post giveaway but was HORRIBLY unorganised due to it being the last day of my uni degree/laziness).

so the winner of the second prize (little teeny box of craft goodies including but not limited to: buttons, beads, paper embellishments, ribbon, wool & fastenings) is.........

number 18, which is faith hope & cherrytea!

congratulations to you both and i'll be trying to get in contact with you to get your mailing address to send off your goodies!

i would really like to thank absolutely everyone who entered, i loved reading through all your comments and fully intend (once these horrible, dreadful, dreary exams are over and done with) to come and visit all your blogs and return the comment-y blog love!!!

on another note... i just noticed i'm nearly at 50 followers, i think when that happens, i might have another little giveaway, follower appreciation style. what do you think?
in the mean time, there's tonnes more giveaways you can enter over at curlypops' blog!

my creative space.

my creative space is all about the time-wasting.
procrastination. i'm getting pretty good at it after 3 years at uni...

i've done some mending. this is a dress that i bought at the mister mode night market a couple of weeks ago that needed a little attention. the front panel section was a little gapey, and by that i mean it was very VERY cleavage-y. too much for public consumption in any case. all fixed but i think it needs a dye job, it's faded very unevenly...

i sewed together this beanie that i knitted up a little while ago. this is my brother modelling it for me. i really should learn to knit beanies in the round, saves on the pesky sewing up the seams part that i always put off...

oh and the boyfriends family dropped us off a new (old) couch. so naturally the entire house needed to be rearranged to fit the couch in (excuse the mess)... lots of time wasting...

now i'm going to go and spend the next couple of hours studying (maybe) but i'll be back at 5 to draw my giveaway! absolute last chance to enter now! goooooooood luck!!!

pop over to kirsty's for more creative spaces.

oh and in case you hadn't heard, no ncb tonight! or for a while... not until a new home is found for it! let tinniegirl know if you think you know of a good place to hold it...

blogtoberfest day 13 - self-portrait day.

yesterday tinniegirl suggested a self-portrait day, where we all reveal what we look like in real life to one another (eek!). i took this to mean make a self portrait... i was later corrected on twitter but encouraged to make one anyway :D

so out came my media, i couldn't choose because, as you can see, i was a little spoilt for choice...
dry pastels, paints, pencils, markers, water colour pencils, you name it, i've got it!

and then what size to choose? i had both an A4 and A3 sketchbook... while i was deciding, i found some sketches i'd done for one of my subjects in year 12. they're not from memory, we had to copy them from an image. would you like to see?

ok so maybe i never got that last one finished... i'm not very good at completing things i start ha ha!

i decided to have a crack with some dry pastels, i've always liked them but they drive me insane when they smudge all over the place!

so then i though i'd have a crack with some watercolour pencils... according to the boyfriend, it's a little paler than me in real life and sadder, but not an entirely inaccurate representation.

so i thought i'd show you me in real life too, that way you can decide for yourself! that's my friend kat, she's amazing!

pop on over to tinniegirl's to join in the portraiture fun and see some other head-shots
hope you're all having a happy blogtoberfest!

ps. if you haven't already... definitely enter my giveaway. it ends tomorrow and i've just put the prizes together!!! excitement plus!

tuesday treasures.

so my treasure this week isn't something old. it's not something i inherited, or will pass onto anyone i know.
this week my treasure is all about the greenery :D

the seeds that i planted last week, the mystery seeds, have popped out of the dirt.
do they look familiar to anyone? not me ha ha!

and also the basil i planted.

now i consider these treasures because when i see those little green bits popping out of the dirt it makes me RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY!
seriously. i run around the house like a madwoman, singing and dancing my butt off.
i screech at the boyfriend, 'baby, baby, come and LOOK! it's AMAZING!'
he half heartedly has a looks, replies with 'that's great'
and i continue to sing and dance for the rest of the day!

it's something i share with my mum, this excitement for new green things. though she's a little bit more reserved, not so much singing and dancing, just a smile :D

what's your treasure on this fine tuesday? pop in and see clare to play along.

ps. my giveaway is coming to a close VERY quickly and you should enter to be in with a chance. i'm thinking of perhaps having a second prize... so even more chances for winning :D

finders keepers.

yesterday, after work, i sacrificed a few precious assignment hours (ok, so not much of a sacrifice) and headed into the city for a look-see at the finders keepers market.

i couldn't believe how much there was to look at!!! probably one of the largest markets i'd ever been to but i made sure i looked at EVERY stall.
however all this looking with my eyes meant i didn't take very many pictures at all... but here's a couple i did take, they're mainly of novel things i'd never seen before though...

the print is a little small but this card reads 'craft lady: you can't help but love a lady who isn't afraid to do nanna craft'
brianna spotted it and i thought it was wildly appropriate for me as the boyfriend almost continuously calls me a nanna for carting knitting or crochet everywhere. can't remember who was selling these, anyone?

speaking of the boyfriend, i saw this and couldn't help but think of him. it was just the coolest.
whenever i'm anywhere browsing, i can't help but look at things and see them as amazing presents for other people. anyone else have that problem?
gosh i can't remember who was selling these either! bad memory due to wayyyyy too much to see!

and these? well these were just the bees knees. books with covers made from vinyls. the inside cover was the cover of the record too. i really liked the photo album one!
find them here.

i had set myself a $20 budget for the day due to looming rent and bills so i didn't really buy anything... but my head is full of dreams so that's a good thing right?
ok well i lied, i did buy one thing...

brianna again spotted it and we both decided we couldn't let it pass...
yes those are knitting needles in my bag... it was a long train ride into the city ok?!
also, just a public service announcement... if you're going to knit on the train, make sure you grab some wool that is in a ball not a skein, otherwise you will have to make it into a ball on the train and people will glare at you when you hit them with your wildly flailing arms trying to untangle the skein and others will stare and laugh.
it took me the entire train trip in, and the tram trip from flinders st AND 10 minutes sitting on a grassy hill in docklands to get it into the ball ha ha. from then on out the knitting wasn't bad though...

hope you're monday is as painless as possible and that you a buoyed through it by a marvelous weekend!
i'm off to do start on some exam study as i successfully completed my last undergrad assignment last night (and handed it in this morning before the faculty office opened, therefore on time!!!)

sunday funday.

well it was a funday, up until now...

Discuss your results. How did you arrive at your identification?

Importance of pure cultures, any problems you experienced, suggestions for improving the procedure you used, suggestions for any other media that could be used or tests that could be done. Did looking at one week old, refrigerated cultures, affect the results?

Did the identified bacteria match that of the specified bacteria for each supplement? Did the numbers (e.g. CFU/mL) correspond to any that may be reported for each supplement? What effect(s) do antibiotics have on probiotics? Discuss.

you know that assignment i was meant to have done friday, before any giveaway fun?
it might not have actually gotten finished...
i only have that one section to write, 350 words worth, but writing it feels as painful as pulling teeth.
it's times like these i wonder, how many marks would i lose if i just didn't do it? yes i'm a horrible uni student!

anywho. the sunday prior to awful-assignment writing time was actually pretty great! i worked this morning (ok, not so great) and then headed into the city for finders keepers! more about that tomorrow though when i can get my camera to connect to my computer and pop up some pictures (though not many, i was too awestruck to lift my camera for most of the adventuring)!

have you entered my giveaway yet? please do! you could win some amazing goodies :D

hope you've had a great weekend!

things i'm grateful for...

today i'm playing along with maxabella
something i'm incredibly grateful for this week is...

my lint shaver.
it cost me less than $5 from spotlight and has given new life to pretty much all of my clothes! my washing machine like to throw lint all over absolutely everything! not to mention, it's fairly relaxing... yup i'm a little weird...

ok so that was a little bit tongue-in-cheek (but true!), this week i'm grateful for this spring weather we've been having.
all my plants are in bloom and it makes me so happy to leave the house (as opposed to winter when you almost couldn't pay me to leave...)

hope you're all having a wonderful saturday and not having too much fun at finders keepers. i'm hoping i'll get there for some retail therapy after work tomorrow...

ps. have you registered for my giveaway yet? you could win random crafty goodies! in a box! tell your friends!!!

post numero cien!

that's right, post number 100!
doesn't actually seem that long ago since post number 50... i guess my posting frequency has increased a little...

anywho! you may remember that for my 50th post i had a little giveaway, well susan l remembers, she was the lucky winner :D

so i thought that as this is my 100th post, and it IS blogtoberfest, that i'd have another :D

and what am i giving away?
a box of crafty goodies!!!
miss curlypops suggested it so here it is!
i will however be keeping the contents a little bit secretive... until i pick out the winner of course!
*disclaimer* box may be larger than pictured.

to be in the running, all you need to do is leave a comment on this post :D
easy as pie!
i'll draw a winner thursday afternoon, let's say at 5. right before northern craft bonanza.
good luck everyone!!!

some art?

as promised a few weeks ago in tuesday treasures these are my year 12 studio art final pieces.

they are a series of embellished photograms, portraying some things that have come together to make me who i am today (or was 5 years ago).

can you see my treasures in there?

pop over and see tinniegirl(a real artist!) to sign up for blogtoberfest if you haven't already!

tuesday treasures.

are you ready to open up the final two boxes?

both boxes contain watches! these were again given to me by my grandma, who is very generous with sharing her treasures.

and again, i'm not sure of the significance. i'm pretty sure my great- grandmother may have owned them...
they're both pretty old-school wind-up watches. and i LOVE the silver, diamondy one. i think if i get married one day, this will DEFINITELY be my something old.

heaps more tuesday treasures over at clare's craftroom.

spring planting.

the weather on the weekend was so lovely, i just had to get out there and get my hands dirty in the sunshine!

i found this little matchbook of seeds at uni one day, pinned to a noticeboard in the library. i immediately claimed them, and they've been floating in my handbag, waiting for the time to be planted.

the slogan on the back was pretty cute i thought.

i rustled up a planter tray, and some dirt and popped them in. can't wait to see what pops up...

i'm keeping them on my kitchen windowsill, they get lots of sunlight but the pesky possums can't munch on them! i popped some basil seeds in too. i love how it grows like a weed. a DELICIOUS weed!
don't mind my droopy coriander either, i gave it some water, it'll perk up soon with any luck :D

hope you're having a fantastic monday and that you're all signed up for blogtoberfest!

It started as a dream...

Go Karts

It was clear that racing was in my blood and from a young age, I was hooked. With my father involved in the business, we began racing throughout the country, eventually winning the North American championship and multiple U.S. titles. Go Karts provided the skills and opportunities necessary to move to racing cars, it also was an incredible way to bond with my father.

Trying to Break Through.

Racing was clearly my passion, but as I entered into my late teens, it became apparent that the conventional route of spending millions of dollars to kick-start my racing career was not an option. Thanks to very generous companies like Skip Barber Racing School & King Taco, scholarships were available to give drivers like me a chance. I spent my first couple seasons trying to break through by driving whatever people would let me and capitalising on every opportunity that presented itself. Those opportunities came by winning Skip Barber scholarships that funded 2 full seasons in junior categories. I spent weekdays balancing school and working at Starbucks to pay for the global travel that went along with it.

The Chance of a Lifetime.

I will never forget the day. I had just completed my final race of my final scholarship, finishing on the podium in Montreal and winning Rookie of the Year honors. It was bittersweet however, I had no funding to continue racing cars for the next year, I had no idea what was next. After celebrating, I returned to the garage and there was a missed call on my phone. It was from Indy 500 winner Danny Sullivan, asking me if I was interested in joining the Red Bull F1 Drivers Search, an American Idol style program with the goal of creating the first American F1 driver since 1978. That was the quickest returned call in recorded history.  Yes.

 Through several intense days of competition with 50 other drivers, Red Bull selected me as the winner and a fully funded season in Formula Renault, an ultra-competitive category in Europe.

Welcome to Austria.

Formula 1 style racing is primarily a European sport, Americans had shown little interest or success in the sport since the beginning so nobody gave me much of a chance; I sure as hell was going to give it my all though.

With Red Bull being an Austrian company it was a no-brainer to call Austria home so I packed every jacket I owned and set up shop in Fuschl Am See, Austria with a familiar roommate, Scott Speed.

 My first year as a Red Bull driver was absolutely incredible. Races in 15 countries across the globe, It was the experience of a lifetime and the results made people sit up and take notice; I narrowly missed out on the European Championship winning several races in the process. In doing so, Red Bull signed me to a multi-year agreement, including an option for F1 opportunities.

We Didn't Say It Would Be Easy...

Although I had a fresh vote of confidence from Red Bull and an F1 contract, I knew it would be short lived if the results weren't stellar. Red Bull promoted me to the World Series by Renault at the footsteps of Formula 1; although there were some high-points, including a podium in Le Mans, the season was the most difficult of my career as the team wasn't very competitive. Thankfully, Red Bull noticed and gave me a second chance with a new team the following year. I knew this was pivotal, I was in the best shape of my life and ready to seize my Formula 1 chance.

Change of Plans.

We started the year on top and were a championship favourite. I nearly grabbed pole position in Monaco and was top 5 in the championship early in the season when I got an unexpected phone call from Red Bull. They wanted to give a young Sebastien Vettel (now 3-time F1 world champion) a faster track to Formula 1 and just like that they replaced me, mid-season with a 2 minute phone call.

I was devastated. Several years of blood, sweat and tears, my Formula 1 chance was handed over to someone else.

For the first time in 15 years, I had no race to look forward to and nothing on the horizon.

The Reality of the Sport.

Without the support of Red Bull and with the economic climate in turmoil (2007) , I knew raising sponsorship would be a real challenge. In fact, over the next few years I spent more time in board rooms and sponsorship meetings than I did race cars.

My management team and I were able to put together a few opportunities in the states across Indy Car and Nascar and despite some success, every year was like starting from scratch again. The economic situation was such that nearly every team at the pinnacle of motorsports required a driver to bring several million dollars per year.

After a few years of losing out on opportunities to drivers with large family wealth or government backing, I began to question a career path in which every year held such uncertainty. I made the incredibly difficult decision that in order to fall in love with the sport again, I had to hang up the helmet as a profession.

I decided to put the marketing skills I had learned raising millions of dollars in sponsorship to work for me and applied my passion and energy to the world of technology in Silicon Valley. Of course I miss the speed and energy of driving such high-performance cars often, but working for the most innovative company in the world, sure has its similarities.

Resume Advice for Students and Recent Grads

Creating a resume when you have little or no work experience is challenging, but not impossible. Whether you’re a student or recent graduate, the skills you’ve developed and knowledge you’ve acquired in school can be transferred to any job. Below is a list of sections that a student or recent graduate should include on a resume.

Relevant Coursework
You’ve worked hard in your classes, so why not put them on your resume? List any classes that relate to the position for which you are applying or that demonstrate technical knowledge.

Projects and Presentations
List the major projects or presentations you have completed.  Briefly describe each project and include the grade received if you did especially well.

Computer Skills
This includes software such as Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. If you know HTML or any other programming languages, you can include those as well.  Software used during part-time jobs and internships can also be included, but don’t claim proficiency if you haven’t used the software extensively. “Familiarity with [software]” or “experience with [software]” will work if you aren’t proficient but have experience with a software program.

You don’t have to be extremely fluent in a language in order to list it, but you should be able to conduct basic conversation with native speakers (be honest about your level of fluency on the resume).

Community Involvement
If you’ve volunteered or done any community service, be sure to include it on your resume. Tutoring volunteer work that you can do on your own and looks impressive on a resume.

Honors and Awards
Honors, awards, and academic scholarships you’ve received should be on your resume. You should also put if you were on any honor rolls (President’s List, Dean’s List, etc).

Resume writing can feel like a daunting task for anyone, but especially so for less experienced job-seekers.  However, resumes don’t have to be comprised of just work experience.  Your skills, projects, coursework, and other activities can prove valuable to potential employers.

No Progress for TIF

It occurred to me last week that I had not posted my progress on the TIF challenges in almost three weeks.  This has been due to the fact that there has been no progress.  So, there.  Which is not to say that TIF has not been on my mind.

I looked at the December challenge and thought, "Well, I can always buy something for the 'Toys for Tots' campaign."  I could say I addressed generosity and be done with it, leaving me only the November challenge to catch up on before the end of the year.  But I jettisoned any thought of spending money on non-essentials since my husband lost his job two weeks go and probably will not find employment again until well after the presidential inauguration.

Needless to say, it's not been the happiest of holidays around here.  But I've forged ahead on some projects I dragged out of my stash.  With apologies to my Tulsa sister, I have my "hairy" sweater almost done.  My sister hates sweaters that have eyelash fibers, glitter, and other thingies hanging off of them.  I, on the other hand, love them.   So, I started the Concerto sweater I blogged about briefly on November 23, and now it's substantially done.  I just have to sew the sweater pieces together and finish the edges. (Okay, I can hear some of you laughing, given my November posts, but really, I do plan to get it sewn up by the end of next week.)

I've also been busy with other craft-related activities.  This is the time of year I always want to clean my house and change the decor around.  Starting the new year with an orderly living space has always been a sort of tradition with me, and in the last couple of days, I've been occupied with a sort out and throw away.  I actually can see my work tables, I have found some UFOs that got buried under new projects, and I have been reminded of projects not yet undertaken but for which I once held a great desire to do.  The latter was like meeting up unexpectedly with an old friend - we got reacquainted, paused for a few minutes to reminisce, and parted with promises to do it again soon.

Which led me to thinking:  When will I have time to do some of these formerly-buried projects?  How do I see 2009 shaping up for craft projects?  So, I am off to ponder my goals for next year in light of the materials I have on hand, the projects that arose from the dead, Sharon's plans for the 2009 challenge, and the time constraints I face given that I'll be working full-time for the foreseeable future.

Mantra of peace!

Asato ma sadgamaya!
Tamso ma jyotirgamaya!
Mrtyorma amrtam gamaya!
Om shanti, shanti, shanti!

Lead me from unreal to the real.
Lead me from darkness to the light.
Lead me from death to immortality.
Let there be peace, peace and peace!
