Elephant House designed by Foster & Partners

An elephant house designed by Foster & Partners was unveiled yesterday at Copenhagen Zoo. The architecture giant’s first building for animals, the house apparently boasts the latest zoological standards in terms of the elephants’ well-being.

WOW

Hey!
That's pretty cool that you guys actually won tickets. I wonder how many people signed up. I'm jealous, I totally wanted to see them. Have fun! Coldplay make their concerts fun.

So, I didn't win tickets to see Coldplay at Madison Square Garden but Jason did! We're going next Monday. Yay!

Hi

Hi,

Those are super cute Em. Thanks for the link. I wanted to show you guys this link Brian sent me today. http://www.idreamofcake.com/ The cakes are really neat and they're located right in SF on Grant Ave. I wonder if any of us have passed by and just not noticed. Or maybe everyone has except me. :P

I've been looking on monster for jobs that might be a good fit for me. Talk to you soon.

Serins,

This picture totally reminded me of the cute things that you make.

It's from http://www.mypapercrane.com.

Hi

Hi There,

Em, you can visit SD if you'd like. I've become a better tour guide with practice. :)

I know I can change it. I guess I just make it more confusing and complicated when I start trying to weigh all the factors. It pretty much comes down to me deciding I don't like it. I've spoken to management and now we're at the point of change. All that bent up frustration is leaking out and I can't seem to hang on some patience while things change for the better here. Being a bum doesn't seem smart or realistic. I guess I'm wanting to be safe. Anyway, blah blah blah complaining. I'm done. :)

Green is the new black

Everything is going green. There's even a green network. We are in line with today's world.

I think it will be great once we decorate it a little and get some complementary colors and some neutral pillows and some artwork in there. Mommy will get used to it. She was resistant to your yellow room at first and look how nicely that turned out.

Well, my days off are August 28 through the 1st. I think I might use those days for a vacation. Location tbd.

Sorry about work Serins. You don't have to stay there. You have the power to change it. There's more options in life than "work" or "bum". Though either are perfectly acceptable if it makes you happy.

BRAZIL and the explanation of GREEN

Hey guys,

About Brazil. I am buying tickets for my flights through the school so I probably won't be able to go with you Em or Serina, because the teachers already set it all up, including the return ticket. Although I really want to go to Brazil I don't want to risk getting lost on my way to the hostel. It would probably be best to follow the group. I really want to go to Peru though, so how about we plan a trip next summer to go to Peru, plus it will be cheaper because we'll buy the tickets earlier.
Here's my itinerary:
1 United 886 04AUG San Francisco - Los Angeles 1:00pm - 2:19pm
2 Lanchile 603 04AUG Los Angeles - Santiago 3:55pm - 600am +1 *
3 Lanchile 750 05AUG Santiago - Sao Paulo 710am -1:45pm

4 Lanperu 764 26AUG Sao Paulo - Lima 8:05pm- 11:25pm
5 Lanperu 604 27AUG Lima - Los Angeles 1:40am - 7:15am
6 United 157 27AUG Los Angeles - San Francisco 10:00am-11:25am
and school then starts on Sept. 1

So serina,
You really don't like the green. Its actually not glossy. It was still wet when I took the photos. It actually not too bad. It a duller darker green than the pictures. I don't know it kinda grew on me, but I guess its because i looked at it so much (but you're gonna have to change the curtains, Em because right now its red flowers, making the room look a little Christmassy). I think Mommy hates it, but I suggested the Amelie color you wanted, Em and she said " Why so dark". So I think we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. I don't mind repainting it if you guys really want to change the color, but you're gonna have to deal with Mommy first, because I have no idea what color she wants anymore.

Sorry about work Serins.

Oh dear..

Oh my gosh! Stop! What's with the gloss? No gloss! Wow. Wait, is that just the flash? Wow. One wall of that color is plenty. Cover it with a lot of posters. I think you should stop? (Speechless on this.)

I'm having a work crisis...again. This time it's pretty bad but the good news is that things are changing and change is good. I have to make a lot of decisions in the present future. A slightly appealing option is to be a bum, which I am considering.

Ooh, maybe I can go to Brazil if Em goes. Viv, you're going with your school, right?

Hope all is well with all. Take care and talk to you soon.

The Bean

I'm calling my room "The Bean." How long are you in Brazil again, Viv? I might come out and visit. I have a few days off at the end of August and I want to travel.

I'm taking a woodshop class tomorrow. I'm going to build furniture! (I hope!)

The Hulk

I'm calling your room the hulk. Actually I saw it as a really dark green too. But if it make you feel any better its a little darker than the pictures because I took the pictures when it was wet. It actually not that bad... although I have to agree it is a little on the 70's side. We can always paint it again in a few years.

And

I didn't mean to sound ungrateful, Viv. Thank you very much for painting my room.

Holy Crap

That is hella green. It looks very....70s. Sigh. I guess it's my own fault. I wanted to go dark and I should have just stuck to my guns instead of sort of compromising with Mommy.

Lesson learned, if you do something, do it all the way. If you go dark green, go dark. Sigh.

I was trying to go for Amelie green or the green that Claire Danes has in her room in Shopgirl.

GREEN

Hey guys,
So I might have told you guys I'm painting em's room green. I started today and finished one wall so far. Em picked the color. It's quite green. I want to say a dark mint. I'm not so sure Mommy likes it because when she opened the door she grunted. It's a little intense because after awhile of painting everything else was PINK.

Yo Yo Yo

As promised to Deb, some good craft blogs:

Ready Made
Makezine

From there you can find other links.

Viv. I think I said I was going to send you some links too but I forgot what they were so here, for you, because I like you: LFSTYL

And Serins, I like you too. So here, something amusing: Miranda July.

Have a great weekend guys! Hugs and kisses and puppy dog tails!

...Dead puppy dog tails.

Muahaha.
