tilt: femton

i love today! not because it was st patricks day, but because of all the awesomeness that was flowing my way. at work during my 6 hour shift i received from my coworkers:

• a holga camera with instant back
• 1lb of 100% kona coffee
• advice on sewing my vest

i came  home took the dog on a walk and then got a burrito for dinner (in true st patty's day fashion, but HEY! i did drink a green soda). i then biked to the grease rag where my friend luci passed down her trekmobile to me and a racing hat! she's been selling hats & crafts in order to help pay for her dog GIZMOBOT's medication. if you're in mpls and want some sweet swag to help out a great cause, holla at me! and then i went and saw my coworkers band Shaking Babies play at CAUSE before coming home and crawling into bed.

StellaStar Trekmobile!

and today was payday which means i'll be rolling on stellastar in no time flat. hope your day was splendid too!

this photo makes me ache for summer! 4AM bike rides to st paul and back. staying up 'til 6AM and then sleeping through the heat of the day. late night walks around the park with tillymonster and backyard BBQs. ROOTBEER. color me over winter; two more months until spring!

&

if all goes according to schedule, my olympus PEN should be arriving in the mail tomorrow. it's my day off so i'll be camping out on the front door until the UPS driver comes. and it's about damn time, i ordered it back in November through pictureline and it was back ordered. silly me wanted the pretty white/tan combo! i waited until last month before finally canceling my order with them (i even knew the phone person by first name!). i then ordered it through amazon, and bam! i got an e-mail saying it was back ordered for 10-14 days. UGH! i just wanted my pretty camera.

fast forward to Tuesday and while at solidarity rally for Wisconsin, i got an e-mail on my phone saying it was going to be shipped! just in time because earlier in the day i had considered canceling my order, but didn't have time.

hopefully tomorrow will kick off my 365 photo challenge, HURRAH!

Tattoo I Love Thursday

 

a friend posted this on tumbla and i couldn't help but LOLOLOLOL. 

pretty sure this is the greatest tattoo ever.

i haven't left my bed in 2 days due to illness, but this couple costume sure brightened up my day! mrs fox looks gorgeous; the dress is cute and her mask is stunning. found here complete with sewing directions.

GUESS WHAT COMES OUT TOMORROW?

so for your (and my) viewing pleasure let me share some ts3 related goodness.

my alter ego

would wear these glasses...

and ride this bike....

and make matching bike panniers...

and my bike would have a coffee cup holder like this...

to drink only coffee from....

and spend all my nights in a city like this....

and i would be très chic.
or one big fucking hipster.

tilt revolution

my internet has been buzzing with all sorts of political-creative-goodness this past week. allow me to share.

don't get caught in a bad hotel

a gaga inspired flashmob in san francisco!


Telephone Remake!

troops stationed in afghanistan remade GaGa's telephone which then led me to watch the real telephone which then turned into a lady gaga / beyonce youtube video marathon last night with two upstairs neighbors & friends!

Exhausted Noam Chomsky Just Going To Try And Enjoy The Day For Once
via the Onion.

follow up article: Chomsky too busy to ready the onion piece about him.

and my new personal hero, kannellos

Kannellos, the Athens Anarchist Canine. 

Unfortunately, kannellos passed away in 2008, but this article says that his legacy lives on through Loukaniko a.k.a. Mr. Sausage. Hopefully one day tilly will grow up to be a big anarchist dog.

i think that's it.

what has been inspiring you revolutionaries these days?

love thing.

1) this blog by my new friend emily, the best thing i did today. she writes down the best part of her day in blog form.  today the best part was breakfast, talk about starting the day out right. super cute and inspiring.

2) child heartbreak. hopelessly adorable:




3) dark dark dark @ the cedar tonight. homecoming show for the band and a hometown release for their new EP bright bright bright. they were absolutely wonderful. i can't recommend this band enough and finally seeing them tonight was an absolute delight.

{tilt} cart before the horse

i just stumbled upon these on etsy and immediately fell in love with the well combined detailing of embroidery, painting, & sewing on these slightly deranged whimsical dollies. traditionally folky, but yet dark & modern (a tim burton twist) - the best of both worlds.

and the Alice in Wonderland set is gorgeous! i love how alice's name is placed upon her smock.

bah, now if only i could afford even one.

things i love?

my new puppy, tilly!

she's the most adorable 6-week old English Bulldog Lab mix ever! My mom craiglisted me her sister about a week ago and after calling found out that the brindle pup was already sold. not even two days later i get a phone call from my mom asking if i wanted this instead:

how could i say no? my mom tried to hold out and keep her until christmas, but with my two other dogs at home it just wasn't working out. so i got her today! sofrickencute.

the No Coast Craft-o-rama is happenin' this friday & saturday at the Midtown Global Market (literally right next door to my haus). i plan on checking it out if only to try and get my hands on a craftsters union pin.


Regretsy! recently stumbled upon from blog-surfing, and on the first page was a cat fannypack with ellen degeneres' face on it... marked at a mere 39$. a steal of a deal.

enough with the sites, on with the images!
