Sushi and Jenny's Gift

My good friend Jennylee and I went out for sushi the other night. Believe it or not, that was my first time trying it. It was pretty good. Jenny suggested the Philedelphia Roll so I got that. It was pretty good. She got something called Godzilla (sushi)...that was pretty big...well it was called Godzilla. :) She let me have a piece and it was good but the sauce was very hot so I wiped that off. I don't like spicy stuff.

We mainly went out because she was finally done with my birthday gift. As some of you know, art can be complicated to make sometimes. (Oh, this was our first art trade too. I gave her a piece of my art for her b-day & she was giving me something that she made). So she was having some issues with the piece over the past several weeks...
but finally, I got my gift Wednesday night.

And she was right-I LOVE it!...
and Yes, it's so ME, Jenny!...

Here it is...DREAM. It's on cardboard but it looks like it's black paint on wood (that's a secret of hers). The rest is plaster (& paint?...correct me if I'm wrong Jenny) and a cool picture of...ALICE. It's gothic/dark Alice though, but that's cool...I love many styles of Alice, as many of you know. And GOTHIC/DARK Alice is one of my faves!

Here's a detail shot of the picture. Alice is in a pool of blood...she's surrounded by Wonderland things including the Mad Hatter's hat and a teapot pouring tea into a cup on a unbirthday present. I really like this picture she chose.

This is a detail shot of the left side where the word DREAM is at...at the very top. Jenny said there are little people & other kinds of images hidden in the plaster. I'm not too good at finding the lil' details so she might have to point a few out to me again.

As we were leaving the restaurant, we picked up some necklaces at the door. Well, they were free! But since it was so dark in there, I couldn't see what color(s) I was getting. I wanted blue...and I got it but it's only half of one necklace. For some reason different colors are strung together with some of the necklaces, but that's kinda cool actually.

All in all, I enjoyed eating sushi for the first time, spending some time with Jenny, and getting my VERY cool gift, which I love. She also got me a nice Joker shirt with his quote being "Why so serious?" That was a nice surprise. Now I have 4 Joker shirts...and that's my 1st with that great line. She also got me some Peeps...they are bright pink!
Thanks so much for everything Jenny. ;}

Hello Kitty Watches at McDonalds

McDonalds is now carrying Sanrio watches for girls in their Happy Meals. If you don't know, Sanrio makes Hello Kitty and her many cute friends. And out of these eight watches, three are her friends-Chococat, My Melody, and Little Twin Stars. All the watches are really cool looking. Unfortunately, for us 'adults' they will probably not fit on your wrist. I have very small wrists & it won't clasp. I like several of 'em but knowing that they don't fit now makes me not want to get any more.

This is the one I got today. It was the only choice they had, and I didn't think I'd like it from this picture. It's called Hello Kitty "Brown Floral." The words Hello Kitty are written in a gothic print on the band so that made me like it a bit more. Plus I like the red flower on HK and the flowers on the watch too.

This is the one I wanted out of all of them. But like I said, they don't fit. I really like the design of her as a fairy and the words Hello Kitty on the band are also in a gothic print. Hm, if it were only about a 1/2 inch bigger, it'd probably fit. But oh well, they're still cute watches for the lil' ones. ^_^

Alice & Mad Hatter Painting

as many of you know, i love Alice In Wonderland. part of my "theme" here is Wonderland/Looking-Glass, or just pure curiosity if you didn't know by now. so anyways when Alice is combined with something cool, like an awesome director (yes, tim burton), or even when my girl hello kitty is her, i usually love it. and in this case, an artist made something wonderful regarding Alice. i'm speaking about the very talented artist Jasmine Becket-Griffith. she has made some paintings called Gothlings-i actually have the checks. :) i love 'em! and she has also made other gothic art. so this is her original painting called Alice & Mad Hatter. i adore it! what do yous think? i think it's very purrrty, and Alice looks a lil' mad (or maybe it's annoyed?) but that's o.k. cuz she's with a mad person...

I hope you all have a very lovely Thursday. i'm glad because my work week ends tonight, yay! i'll be leaving soon...in a couple hours...so i won't be blogging there...:(...but i can view your blogs (though i can't comment, ugh) at work. so i am REALLY there...even though i'm not. :)

For the Love of Goth Blog & Guy Gets Handcuffed

hey peeps. happy middle of the week! only a lil' to go before the weekend. yay! :) so what's new with everyone? me, not too much...except a couple of lil' things. i thought things couldn't get crazier at work yesterday compared to Monday but no, things got crazier! yeah, a guy got arrested about 20 feet away from me. he wasn't a student, just a creepy looking guy from the "public." nobody really knows why this happened besides he wasn't supposed to be on college grounds. we never get the full details. it was such a WEIRD night. people always say "working in a library must be boring!" but i just say "you'd be surprised what happens in there sometimes." and yesterday was a perfect example.

oh & i figured out a way to look at other Bloggers while i'm there (Blogger recently got blocked there). woo hoo! but the thing is i still can't go on to my Blogger to add/edit/accept comments...& i can't comment on other peeps posts. darn! just LOOK, yes, but that's about it...but that's cool cuz i need to catch up on my fellow friends posts sometimes. so that made me smile. :}

so why i'm really writing this. (time for the shameless name drop!) well, after some thought i decided to change my previous Blogger called Gothic Lolita Love to an all things Goth Blogger. and yes, i'll still include my love of Gothic Lolita fashion. so my Blogger is now called For the Love of Goth. that way i can dish out my darker side there...well, my last name is Noir afterall. of course THIS will still be my main blogger...and that'll be my lil' "project." :) so stop by sometime if you have a darker soul yourself...;}

OH & BTW: still need someone to break my POLL's tie. the answer shall be revealed tomorrow. thank yous!!!



o.k. i hope you all have a lovely day and hope to talk to some of you soon. take care.~

Living Dead Dolls: Urban Legends

above: new LDD series 17-Urban Legends

above: LDD two-pack of nurse & doctor

i'm a BIG collector as some of you know. and i'm also a collector of Living Dead Dolls. first type of thing i was HARDCORE into getting almost everything they put out. they are now on Series 17 & again, i have almost every series-which would be 5 dolls per series (i usually buy 'em by the box-set of 5 dolls...& it's cheaper in the long run). 2 series come out a year & then there's also exclusives (like the nurse & doctor pack above) which have one or 2 dolls in 'em, that come out over the year. so honestly i don't know how many i own because most are in storage. i have recent series/exclusives on display though.

but i'm mainly posting this because Series 17 doesn't impress me much. i'm wondering if it's a concept idea for each one because they don't look very polished at all. if not concepts, i think they all look pretty crappy and would probably not get any of 'em if this is what they're gonna look like. for example: if you see the 2-pack above, you can see how much nicer it looks. so again, i have to say Series 17: Urban Legends looks like concept dolls. hm, i'm curious...as always...~

Alice In Wonderland by Tim Burton

since my page is very alice in wonderland themed, i would like to talk about the film that is rumored to be in the making soon. and that is tim burton's alice in wonderland. this is like a dream come true to me in several ways. 1) tim burton is my all-time fave director 2) alice in wonderland is one of my fave things EVER 3) to take a dark spin on this is gonna be wonderful because people don't really know that the book(s) that disney's alice is based off of is quite dark & twisted. and i love twisted things...and hm, how should i word this-i LOVE "gothic" things. & tim burton knows dark, twisted, & goth things better than any other film director out now!!!

so it is confirmed NOW that the great johnny depp will be playing the mad hatter (so awesome!). happy happy joy joy!!! (BIG thanks to LUNA for the concept pic of mr. depp) i'm going to guess on the other BIG characters: queen of hearts-prob going to be played by tim's wife, helena bonham carter. and how about alice, sweet alice? i'd say dakota fanning or anna sophia robb. helena would make an awesome Queen...and as for alice i chose these young girls, not only cuz Alice is blonde, but because i could actually picture either of them playing her. but anything could happen with tim burton...the girl could have pitch black hair or she could be an adult for all i know. i guess we'll have to wait and see.

OH & prob my fave character of ALICE, the cheshire cat. i love Disney's Cheshire Cat...and seeing him dark & twisted for the computer game several years ago kinda was creepy & very scary. i don't think i liked him THAT dark. i want him to be twisted (like he definitely is) but not TOO dark & not very scary (i know tim will realize children might want to see this, making me wonder what kind of rating this will get). Cheshire Cat-he was funny in Disney and i liked that. not to mention i loved all of his lines, especially "we're all mad here." ha ha. he rules & this film will be a great twist to both a classic book & film i'm sure. can't wait!!!:}
