Ryan Adams.

Ryan Adams creates wildly interesting new death metal music. This newlywed shows no signs of slowing down. There are three videos that are at the bottom of werewolph.com, this is one of them:

Pink Is Not Your Color


I went to Ryan's YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/user/dradamsfilms) and found this video that I posted below. Some of the other videos that Ryan makes are so thought provoking, and truly touching. It seems very intimate and it almost feels like I am viewing something that I shouldn't, like these are lines from his journal. They remind me of The dream listener project. It is a mobile intervention in the street that takes place from 25 November 2006 to 25 November 2007. For one year Karen Spencer has written her dreams on cardboard, gone out into the street, and held the cardboard dream in front of her. Made visible and displayed in this manner, the dream elicits a response. A dialogue begins with people in the street, opening the possibility of entering into the dream world of others. To learn more or to help the homeless that are featured in her recordings please visit: http://dreamlistener.wordpress.com/

I'm just grateful that he hasn't given up on music.

Whats been going on with the Webbs

ITS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I UPDATED.....

So I am going to throw a lot of it together in this post.

I have some take out boxes in CVS this Easter.
Here is one of them, the pictures with me in them are from an acutal produced take out box.
The others in the store are:

These are just inhouse mocked up versions, but if you are near a CVS be sure and pick one up of each !! Or two!

Be sure to grab up my gift card holder, Edward! He is in Target right now!!!!
I also have a felt baby duck with a rattle, a foam finger that is white that says WAY TO GO!, and a wedding fold out gift card holder that is grays, black, and white.

Ralphie being a camo rug in the kitchen. silly kitteh.

James got his hair did before his birthday.
He caught onto me taking photos....I dont think he approved. Hahaha....
Here I am pretending to know what I am doing....
James being awesome, schoolin me on how to play pool.

INTENSE! Look at my face hoping the ball makes it in the hole.

Hooray for making one in!

(Why am I holding the pool stick all crazy? Maybe that's why I kept playing so horrible)

James got breakfast in bed for his birthday.
This was so delicious. I can't even begin to tell you how yummy this cookie cake was.

James on his 24th birthday.
Sophie got her hurrr did yesterday. She had the cutest bow in her hair.

Our gorgeous kitty chillin in the kitchen.

New painting!
This shot shows off her textures, poor angling.
I started and finished her in a few hours.
Sexy sideview.
Marilyn. Always a classic choice.

Sophie had a birthday. This wasn't acutally taken on her birthday, I thought a good present would be to not flash a camera in her face throughout the day. Our little fluffy muffin turned 2!
Smuggin for the camera, we had so much time to kill. There was a gang of people that all had the same idea to go play miniature golf.

Check out my loooooooooooong hair.
Finally.
It hasn't been this long since I was in 11th grade.

James looking like a bad ass. Don't let the blue water fool you, it is the nastiest collection of water anywhere. There is all kinds of gross stuff in there, I have no idea how the fish can survive in there.




I cant believe how nice it was that day. I'm representin the Cardinals. Check out my awesome necklace. I surprised that black string it came with is still in one piece. I wear it non stop, in the shower, sleeping. That necklace has been through a lot of wear and tear.
Gorgeous tree blossums.

Showin off our new shades.

Marko

I loved a photo Mark had put up.
It seemed like it needed to be illustrated.

I'll be away from the computer, I took a couple days off to celebrate my amazing husband's birthday!

A wedding anniversary spent with Ryan Adams & The Cardinals

**Having some issues uploading the videos from this weekend. Will try to get them all up here asap**

This weekend James and I celebrated being married for one year!!

Saturday nite was bone cold and the wind was sharp as I made my way into the Brady.

The show started a little late, Ryan appeared from the right side of the stage juggling two containers of liquid. One filled with an orange liquid, it appeared to be gatorade, the other a tall silver can. He starts into the song without saying anything. They played the first half of the nite without really saying anything. His voice still sounded good, but you could tell that he didnt feel well at all. He mumbles thank you into the microphone every so often after a song. He announces that they will be back shortly after a five minute intermission-which was really longer than five minutes but who is counting....

This is a video of Ryan stopping what he is doing to announce that it wouldn't be a proper show without the Jon Graboff tells the "joke of the evening". I talked to Callie while we were waiting about the Cardinals duels with their socks, wondering if they would talk about their sock choices or anything while they were on stage-apparently I wasn't the only one because someone yells at Jon Graboff to show us his socks. I'm not sure if you can hear it on the video or not, but after that Jon plays some snippet of the muppets or something like that, then he proceeds to tell his joke from Rodney Dangerfield. Someone also screamed Mandy Moore, I wondered if she would be there. No sightings. The security staff-and by security I mean they have a small flashlight and a yellow shirt that could easily be turned into a tent were being real jerks, they were pulling people out for taking photos, so most of my videos are super shaky because i had to keep my camera flush against my chest/collarbone area and keep it hidden with my left hand slightly cupped over it, so sadly most are really shaky-but I was happy that I was able to get them. The video for "Games" is cut short because a security person was hassling the girl next to me for taking photos with her iPhone. Notice the downward swoop of the video. Hahaha....But the video that I am the happiest with is Easy Plateau. I love the way he sings "cats and rocking chairs" all choppy-but this video turns awesome at 4:23, where Ryan sings about Neal stealing his donuts and and now he's going to hit him in the head and then he starts saying he is a terradactyl and screeching with an echo that he has on his guitar pedals. It was great. I was so happy I captured it. Ryan also goes on to say that its going to be a loooooooong drive tonite while he looks at Neal.
Ryan went on to say during the show that vocally we were a great audience, and how much he liked us despite what Neal says about us. You can see some of the problems that Ryan was experiencing, around 8 minutes or so you can see Ryan fidgeting with his earpiece and he finally takes it out. I don't know if this was because of poor sound coming from it, he kept giving hand gestures throughout the show for his moniter to be adjusted. But I am wondering if it was the ear pains that he has been experiencing lately. At one point during a guitar switch he got tangled in his earpiece cord and had to be untangled by a stage hand. Almost every song turned into a jam band session-which I was disappointed in, but I'm sure this stemmed from him not feeling well. He played rescue blues on a keyboard, so that was different, not as good in my humble opinion, but I was still happy to hear it. They keyboard sounds brash and overwhelmed his vocals, I don't know why but the sound was really sloppy. Ryan strapped on his harmonica at one point and the crowd was yelling for him to play Come Pick Me Up, and after playing it Ryan said, "I don't think that song is very nice, but I'm glad you guys like it." I was afraid the rowdy crowd was going to turn Ryan off, after being to a few Ryan shows-I know that he doesn't like the crowd to shout things, especially during quiet parts in the songs, but luckily he didnt let the crowds shouting phase him. I wasn't feeling that great to begin with and had been sick all week and missed work Friday, so after awhile the long and winding versions of the songs were beginning to wear on me, I just wanted it to wrap up. Neal sang a couple of his songs. The show was good, just not the typical Ryan show that I am use to. I was happy that after the break Ryan came back and interacted with the crowd, during the introduction to the band Ryan kept saying, "Oooh snapp!!" almost after every word.
The merch table was very different than the normal Ryan show-No poster, no vinyl, NO WATCHES (SORRY MARK!!!!) But they did have some nice shirts, a thermal, one kind of sticker, no patches, they had a keychain with the new Cardinal logo, and totes that were signed by the band, I really wanted one, but decided to get a shirt instead. They also had some cds, and Infinity Blues in paperback. After the show I had contemplated getting the tote but Callie was really sick and the table was surrounded with a mob of people....So I decided it was probably best for us to get the hell out of there.

Click on the image of Ryan I did last week to see it full size. I am really happy with the way he turned out. I want to try to acutally stitch it sometime.

Its just a flesh wound.

So Tuesday I was having sort of an off day. It happens to the best of us-so I put an earbud in, selected Incredibad on my iPod and began mocking up some bags a little after 5. I was listening to 'Boombox', smiling and I was thinking how can you be in an "ehhh....bummer" mood when listening to the Lonely Island crew? (Andy Samberg's trio of hilarity and all that is good) Right at that moment I ran my x-acto blade across the side of my thumb-fresh blade slice creating a blood fountain out of my thumb. After doing some frontier medicine on my thumb I was taken to a urgent care clinic to get a tetanus shot. Thankfully by the time we got there I quit bleeding through my band-aids. Apparently "urgent care" are merely words-not actions. I spent most of my time in the room where the needles are kept. I got a few 'fake-out' doctor visits, I guess it was a rusty/tetanus-shot-needing-day because they kept coming in to the room I was in to retrieve needles. Needles are pictured in the lower left corner.
They took off my nicely covered band-aid and then left me there, with an open wound for another hour. Its not much too look at, but it bled like it was auditioning for a Kill Bill movie.
But not to worry my burly my nurse who refused to give me the tetanus shot in the bum-shabbily slapped a band-aid on. How can you put a band-aid on so crappy and tight with such little effort or eye contact with what you are intending to bandage? But that's besides the point. I get to do another round of being ignored in a room, I have to go back for a check up tonite.
Is it just me or does this light look like its yelling at me? All it needs is some furrowed eyebrows...Or perhaps the light is frightened. Or-! Maybe I was in this room too long by myself and was attempting to humanize objects. That's more likely the case.
Is it really necessary to strap down a small child? Why is this hanging here? Why can't I stop staring at it and wondering what has happened with that board?!?!
Please tell me this isn't a blood stain. I kept hoping someone was careless with coffee. Ugh. If they can't properly dispose of blood mere steps away from the hazardous material waste bin I could be in trouble.
This sign reads: 'We have the interest and desire in listen, really listen to what you are saying. Please don't ever hesitate to ask about anything you don't understand. You will be dealing with members of a team whose primary job is to serve you- we promise that you will never leaving feeling no one cares.'
Pfffft. Whatever. I got that feeling everytime they came in and condescendingly told me that I would be seen, just not right now-there were a few more people ahead of me, then pat my knee. What am I five? I don't need to be half-ass reassured that I am going to be seen.

I'm featured on Etsy....again!

I am very happy to see Cat Power's Chan Marshall featured again. (top row, all the way to the right) Now if someone would just buy her...

Finally something to distract me from Ryan Adams getting engaged.
I just hope she makes him happy. He deserves it.

Hershey's Meth Addict

I want to know what Hershey's assembly crew person let this one slip by. It has four 'Almond' flags in it. It was cracking me up. Not only that another one in the bag was wrapped upside down. Half were missing the little 'flags'. I couldnt bring myself to eat this one.
