Fume Inhalation

So I have this suuuuuuuuuuuuuper old bottle of GAP nail polish in a goldy color. I’m surprised the bottle lasted so long in my drawer, though I should really thank a lucky star that it didn’t spontaneously combust.

I wanted to paint today but all the paint was in the garage so I used that instead.

LOOK AT PAINTING!

Aren’t I amazing? The finished artwork is almost worth the noxious fumes I inhaled.

I have a sudden urge to pass out and puke now.

A Small Recap and Something To Gag About

Surprise! I’m alive and kicking you weakly in the shins!

My holidays were aiight. I hope your holidays were full of amazing sauce. The stxx hid in the closet all Christmas season ‘cus I had this power-trip thing going on and decided I was going to make them a bit neurotic. They miss you a lot and don’t regret leaving that closet.

So my mom got me these NAIL ART things from Japan, because she’s a darling and because people get the biggest urges to buy weird shit in Japan. They’re all 3D by the way, and we can all blame James Cameron for that.

I painted my nails after dinner so I could procrastinate digesting, and halfway through painting the middle finger of my left hand I decided I ought to use these James Cameron nail stickers. My brains envisioned a glorious evening of decorating my nails and then running down to show my mom, after which we would bond over her flattery of my nail artistry.

I used the flower ones. I agonized over where to place them on each nail, and was highly satisfied with the result.

It wasn’t until everything was dry and I decided to type this post, that I CRINGED awful badly when I peripheral visioned my nail art typing away at my keyboard.

It looked like- *retch warning* – little PUSTULES had grown on my nails. It was so disgusting I couldn’t even keep them on long enough for a picture, let alone run into the next room to gross out my sibling.

So instead of a beautiful, heartwarming article about how I wish all of you well and some bullshit about the weather, I end up typing this abomination about PUSTULES.

I’ll be back soon, in a less moronic fashion.
For now though – this nail polish remover smells like a party I need to crash.

UGM

ugmphotos by Mint Events

I was at the Urban Glamour Market last Wednesday, with a little table hawking my wares. Hi again if I met you there! I’m sorry I ran out of “I GOTTA PEE” buttons.

It’s been interesting these last few months, watching VCKYSTXX grow slowly but small’y – especially when the face of your small company isn’t your face, but that of a three-haired stick thing. Thus, I’m VERY proud of the inroads they’re making! This “referring to my creation as a separate conscious entity” is also doing wonders for my psychological state.

’til next time!

Holidays

plastictree

If we’re to calendar our lives with shopping mall marketing, I am a month late into the Holiday Spirit. Am I the only one who thinks November 1st is too early? Look at what gets lost in the fray of consumerism – Remembrance Day, Thanksgiving, and uhm.. this dude’s birthday that I know.. of…

Now that I’ve caught up with the rest of the world – I’m going to be at an urban market this Wednesday, December 1st. If you live in Vancouver, come by! It’s at Terracotta Modern Chinese in Gastown, from 7-10pm. A small set of vendors will be there for good food, drinks, and conversations. I’ll be there with my greeting cards and some buttons. Would be wonderful to see you.

I have to go now. I have to go back to work, yes, but the more important thing is – my Batman Beyond DVD set should be arriving at my house any minute now. I can’t think of an excuse to leave work early to go home and veg out for twenty or so hours, so I’m just geeking out in my brain. Can you imagine if I get home to realize the package has been delayed and wont be there for another day? That’d be pretty funny.. in a slightly, not-at-all funny way.

Ugh. Sorry so scattered today.
As usual, here’s the invitation to email me about nothing and everything vcky@vckystxx.com , LIKE me on facebook.com/vckystxx and win weird comic contests, follow me on twitter @vckystxx .

It’s Monday Again

Hi everyone!

My Beyond Pink Entre-Carnival Tradeshow wrap-up will be posted tomorrow!

I held a small contest asking people to draw stickpeople, I’ve been having a wonderful time sifting through the entries. I’m going to post a giant JPG of all the stickpeople together, and the winner will be drawn at random!

Wins all around and see you tomorrow,
