More *SMASH-ventures!

So...here are a few items I've added to my *SMASH Book...

After an intense dentist appointment a while back, I bought the extreme BluRay edition of The Great Gatsby (like I said I would) and wrote all day long while watching all of the behind the scenes stuff.  One thing I didn't do: watch the ending.  I was crying all day between the story, costumes, soundtrack and my writing materials.  Oh, and the jaw pain I was experiencing.  So why not put it in the book?!



Season 5 of Sons of Anarchy started with a bang.  *SPOILERS*  Why Opie?!  He was destined for greatness!  But he was also on a slippery slope as well...it was a sad moment when we saw him *SPOILERS* getting his head bashed in.  It made me sad.  I loved Opie!  Ryan Hurst did such a great job with the character!  And the worst part was that Opie reminded me so much of Nate that it was kind of comforting to be able to watch Opie on-screen but once he was buried, it made me miss my friend even more.



On a happier note, season 8 DVDs for Supernatural have finally entered our disc queue and I'm so happy I can't stand it!  I know season 9 is starting or has started already and I don't think we'll catch up in time but I don't care!  I'm just glad these kids are back on my TV screen!!!



As far as the rest of the pages go, I'm actually trying to take it easy on some things and not do the daily journaling thing as much because I'm already into the August pages (already?!) which is good but I still have to make it through the end of the year with this book before I start another, right?!  Well, there are no rules in *SMASH Book-ing but...

Here are some more pages in no particular order...




Food Truck Thursdays with my Mom and her friend Raquel / Random funny images from Tumblr / The day L&C got engaged! (and bacon scented candles!!) / The circuit that I do on the weekends (most times) / I had a very bad anxiety and panic day and it helped to journal about it - yes, Breaking Bad added to my anxiety attacks that day / Spontaneous shoot with some friends with hilarious results!

The SMASH*Book Daily Journaling Adventures Continue

On Monday, I admitted I was doing a daily SMASH*Book journal thing and so far, it has been lots of fun!  At first, I had NO idea about what to post so I did what I see most blogger do: I took photos of my  outfit for that day and wrote a little about it and got stuck - what do I post next?  Well, I definitely saved some blank space so I could maybe glue in some True Blood screen caps the following morning.  And boy, was it hilarious!



Yes - I made a flame for the Eric screen caps I printed out.  WHAT.  Who am I??

So - for Tuesday and Wednesday, it was the same deal: outfit photos with whatever happened that day. But I had a hard time filling in the blanks for Tuesday since it was pretty uneventful.  As I was trying to find a way to fill it, I cut out the cutest folder template from the Wreck This Girl blog and made the design more of my own by laying a base of my cute Washi tape down on some construction paper.



Cute, right?!  I love the roses on the original template and I definitely plan on using it once I can print it onto some sturdy card stock.  So cute!!  Yes, I cut around the outside lines on the original because I wanted my folders to be slightly bigger - but not my much.  The extra bit helped out!

Anyway - it's getting a little tough to fill out pages for this daily journal thing but that's part of the challenge, right?!  Here are some pages from my first week:

Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday

     

I still can't get over the silliness of the flame I made for the True Blood screen caps!
Tuesday was a little rough so I decided to fill it out with my footage experiment that I wrote about on Hello Avid and my new favorite blog: Bitchface: The Masterworks.  Check it out!
For Wednesday, as you can see, I dedicated a page to Pinkberry because...it's Pinkberry!  The cherry flavor that's out right now is SO GOOD!!!
Thursday was a bit of a slow day as well but when my friend Carter emailed me that photo of him holding a bunny, I knew it had to go in the book.  That bunny is too cute!

One thing about my book is that when I picked it out, I didn't really pay attention to what the plastic cover had said.  The plastic cover said it was 365 journal - or something like that - but I didn't flip through it at the store - I just bought it.  Me and my impulsiveness, huh?  Once I opened it to start journaling was when I realized that it each page was themed for each month.  Thursday's pages are on a Groundhog Day theme.  Today's is cute because it's a Friday post on Valentine's Day themed pages.  Cute for Friday, right?!  So, to hide my goof, I'm trying to cover up the themes as much as I can.  Like the Tuesday post for National Opposite Day (on January 25th)...Kind of the double challenge of journaling daily AND covering up out-of-date stuff.  Silly me.  Hopefully there will be enough stuff for me to finish the book through the rest of the year and I can start another one on time next year!

Happy Friday!
