A little break from sketching from photographs to sketch a stuffed animal I have (I only have two, and each have some kind of sentiment attached to them).
I guess I carry around a lot of stuff in my usual workbag (Rickshaw medium Zero Messenger): Kindle, squared notebook, a-Jays Three earphones, umbrella, Canon XQ1, iphone 5, charger, keys, business card case, wallet, museum ID badge, Dermatone lip balm/sunscreen, sunglasses, reading glasses, pen/pencil bag, nylon shopping bag, lens cleaning cloth, tissue pack, and a couple Japanese hand/all-purpose cloths. And that's just the stuff that usually stays in there all the time - there's plenty of room for adding other stuff I pick up along the way.
Confession: I like mooses. Alot.
When I was like 6 or 7 my grandmother came to visit us in Maryland from North Dakota. She brought my brother and I gifts as most grandparents do for their grandchildren. I don't remember what she brought my brother but she brought me this stuffed mouse. It was cute and nice but mostly it was just a stupid mouse that I would throw in my closet with all other stuffed animals I didn't really care for. She was staying in my room and so her suitcase was in there. I saw this stuffed moose in there and instantly knew I HAD to have it. I asked her who it was for and she said she'd got one animal for me and one for my cousin April. I asked if I could trade and she said yes cause she's awesome like that. She handed it to me and said "Sure, you can have the cow!" And of course I had to jump in and say "Gramma, it's not a COW! It's a MOOSE!" So we argued back and forth over it for a while and it became "Cow-Moose," which drove my parents crazy because there's no such thing as a Cow-Moose.
I proved them wrong this year after seeing a documentary on Animal Planet about mooses and finding out that a female moose is indeed called a Cow Moose. HA!
Ever since then I've been obsessed with mooses collecting anything and everything with a moose on it. I've got pencils, socks, stickers, teeshirts, figurines, keychains, necklaces - if it's got a moose on it, I own it. My family thinks it's weird because it's not a 'normal' cute animal that most people collect like tigers or panda bears.
My favourite thing about Christmas is getting a new moose (or 4). Christmas isn't allowed to end until I've unwrapped at least one.
Poe is a moose my mom bought for me that somehow became my favourite. I used to carry him everywhere, and I still sleep with him.
And I know the plural for more than one moose is still moose. Mooses just sounds better.
Do you guys think I'm crazy now?
I was going to write about my whole emergency room ordeal but I want to keep this entry kind of happy. I'm doing so much better now, the naproxen is killing my stomach but the pain in my ribcage has almost gone away completely. Maybe I'll make another entry later or tomorrow. Thanks everyone for all your support and comments and mails and stuff, I really appreciate it so much! <3
Filling: dry tomatoes, fresh parsil, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic slices, salt & pepper

A tiny space off the cafe was stuffed full of collectibles. How anybody gets in there to dust is beyond me!

This is my new entry for "Stuffed" for the Monthly Scavenger Hunt for December 2009... but I think the one with the school bus is better.
Here's the recipe.

Stuff have a different meaning when you dying.....they become alive with memories and moments .They... all what is left after you are gone.Although some of my stuff will continue to be (we are all just temporally owners of our stuff ) it will newer exist in this order like in my room now.
My stuff calm me down when I'm in pain ...they soothe my eyes from ugly medical tubes and hospitals etc They gave me comfort. and they don't disappoint you as people do :)
Although it is difficult to to admit ( because it is just stuff and some are gifts ) they tell you about as ....
Well we all have stuff in our lives and we all have to day...(.I've always loved contrast and playing with fluffy and dark side )
