Beetlejuice Parts List

I just thought I'd update with BJ's parts, he's almost ALMOST done:


Raleigh leSportif frame.
Eighthinch Amelia 700c wheelset in lime green, 16t cog.
Eighthinch crankset, white, 46t chainring.
Origin8 - Pro-Urban Riser All-MTN Handlebar, White Powder Coated
Eastern Bikes platform pedals, black.
Purple chain, you know how I be.
Lime green Oury grips.
Handmade orange and black pedal straps.

I intend to get the Odyssey wolf saddle...so more updates as it progresses!

Beetlejuice is Nearing Completion

Hopefully picking up some pedals this weekend (if they have purple or white or green at the bikeshop...if not I'm ordering online), materials to make straps and he'll be rideable! Then I'm picking up a wolf seat and some new handlebars! *______* I can't wait to ride.

Final Shirt Design

Here's the finished design! They wanted to go with their old logo so that's what that's all about. Whew!

This Thing

Today I'm gonna talk about dog toys. Because this thing:



Is baller. I can sing praises all day long about Kongs and how wonderful they are, but I'm sure if you own a dog you know all about how indestructible and stuffable they are, but they're like...8-12 bucks. This thing:



Was 4. And it's already lasted almost 2 months with three dogs chewing on it. THREE!! Let alone my super destructo Mason, my parent's two dogs have been nomming on this thing, and only one end section has been chewed to ALMOST destruction.

Now I've always heard mixed reviews on nylabone products--if you don't know, they're meant to be chewed and then break off into little digestable pieces, and they're also imbued with some sort of witchcraft that makes them taste like chicken. I've heard tales of big pieces being broken off and lodged in digestive tracts, so I always supervise them when they chew this, but I've really had no issue.



I highly recommend this thing, whatever the hell it's called. That is all.

Dog Biscuits and Other Things

I tried a different recipe I found online today! I modified a little, but only in adding more flour since it was super sticky when mixing. I like this because it was easy and I had all the stuff for it lying around. I also used White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter by Peanut Butter & Co...unlike normal chocolate, white chocolate is safe for dogs because it's made with cocoa butter (contains Theobromine from my understanding, but in such a small dose it would take like 250 pounds of pure white chocolate to poison your dog)! And I like to spoil Mason, and that's pretty much the balling-est PB out there.

2 cups flour (+another half handful if it's too sticky)
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon baking powder

Mix with hands and then roll out and cut!
Bake for 20 minutes on 375. WATCH THEM! My mom's oven is a super beast and they were done and on their way to being burnt in 10. So just be careful.



Also still working on that shirt. I like the second color offset lineart, but I don't think he's too keen on it, so we'll see. Here's two versions, one with the new lettering specific to this shirt and one with the old logo I used on their CD cover.

Work in Progress

This is what I've been working on lately, my friend's metal band's tshirt junt. I did their last CD and their last tshirt, and they've sold out of those so it's time for another. This is just a version I WISH THEY'D USE or something similar, but I doubt they will because it's kind of incomprehensibly eye-burny.


Oh! And I ordered the crankset and Oury grips for Beetlejuice Friday, so hopefully I can get him into working condition this coming week. Brakeless, but I don't plan on riding him far until I get some brakes. Maybe just take him to the park and try to practice riding fixed in general. I'm going to saw off the drop bars for the time being. Hopefully the bank will send me my fudgin' debit card so I can order the handlebars, seat and brake.

It's really nice out and I'm stuck inside on Photoshop! SIGH!

Pizzadog Art

My friend Elliot drew this!!! This is Olive, my pembroke that stayed with Justin when I left Memphis. I miss her, but she's a traitor and stayed in Memphis so she could chase Rascal (BHT Pem) and Mr. Pants (kitty cat) because she likes chasing and killing things.

I asked him if he could change it to Mason and I'm going to use the Mason version as my header!!! YAY!!!!
