Art of the week

It's pretty simple this week. I call it "Ribbons of Light" done in pen and marker

3rd grade art

Lookie what I found! It's a fish made out of clay (real earth clay too) that I made in third grade. It was anted with water colors and if you look closely you can see one of the fins is broken from when I dropped it.

Top ten best CD covers

10.

I really like this cover because it reminds me of a child's room. You know. If a child's room had a real sheep in it

9.

Standing on a ladder on top of a lake?! That's awesome

8.

This one is one of my favorites because it has a sort of nostalgic feeling to it... like a memory forgotten.

7.

This one's great, I mean who doesn't love blurred lights in the city?

6.

More Jefferson Airplane! This has everything i love about them, 60's art Grace Slick and of course White Rabbit

5.

Chicago.... they were amazing. Despite the simple design I really like this one because of the suburban home feeling it has to it

4.

Ok, so this isn't my favorite Beatle's cover, but it's definitely the best one in my opinion. A group of weird people posing for a picture... what could go wrong?

I also like this one for it's simplicity. Something about the red on black and white just goes with the words.

I love Mika's music, and his CD covers are awesome as well. This one's my favorite because of the colors.. and all the fun images inside

1.

This is my favorite album of all time. I may not be a huge Coldplay fan, but this album really calls to me. Maybe it's the colors. Maybe it's the title ( myloxyloto? my loxyloto?) but whatever it is I dig it. A lot.

A very Mexican trip

Beach! Sun! and tacos! All the things I enjoyed on a trip to Mexico.

The cow demands you buy something! Our first stop was at a small taco place in the city of Hermomsillo. But don't worry, despite the scary cow on the menu the people were nice and the food was good. Even my sister was happy to see her food.

Later we passed by a small fishing town called Guaymas.

But more of that later...

Finally! After a 9 hour trip in the car we reach our destination, Navojoa, Sonora

On the evening of our arrival we went to my great granny's birthday party. She turned 91! Don't be fooled by her age,, she still has some fight left in her (in this picture she's eating a strawberry she swiped off her cake)

Don't think that her party was dull because she's old! This is my crazy aunt who was possibly drunk (or not). She was in full clown costume dancing to some cumbias.

The beach! The next day we drove down to Huatabampito and were greeted by the sight of these awesome waves.

After taking a quick dip my grandma made us some delicious tortas.

And look! I made a sand sculpture in the likeness of a clam shell (this was moments before my grandma stepped on it)

All too soon the sun began to set and it was time for us to leave.

Although not before a crab decided to try and make a meal out of us!

That sneaky crab tried to take a bite outta my foot!

On our way back to the U.S we stopped by in Guaymas (remember I mentioned it earlier?) and had some food at this little restaurant called "La Pasadita". And boy was the food good! They had mostly sea food, but also some carne asada and chicken, and every bit we tried was fabulous!

Our last stop in Mexico was at a Dairy Queen of all places. But this Dairy Queen was awesome, they had blizzards with just about any type of cookie you wanted. And, true to their motto, our blizzards were served upside down! Cool!
