cat lady

now that I am the proud momma of the world's best cat (WBC) I'm turning this blog into your grandpa's wallet:


ask me about my grandkitty

she's got it!


after weeks of struggle with infinite menu prompts, busted wires, and no-show technicians, my interweb is finally in full effect.

behold! the epic glory that is full bars:


victory is mine! until we meet again verizon customer service reps... maybe in another lifetime.

new display inspiration

I saw something like this at project show last year in new york:


I'm going to do something similar, except it will be an growing installation piece. the spaces are going to be filled with winter scarves (on sale now for only $5). Every time we sell a scarf, we'll fill the empty space with potting soil and a seed. By the start of spring I should have a nice assortment of plant life, and no winter scarves.

dear block club



will you be my valentine?

I will always love you, even with that mustache.

facebook 25 things

this took forever, so I figured I'd share it:

1. My full name is Jessica Elizabeth Luciana Incorvaia, I never really liked the Jessica part until recently and had always considered legally changing it to Tabitha.

2. I watched nickelodeon more than any other network well into my mid 20's and always wanted to work in children's media. (and be a puppet). I did work for the show 'oobi' for a brief period of time.

3. Men of my dreams (MOMD's) include but are not limited to: Jim henson, woody allen, nicolas cage, and adrien brody.

4. If it was legal to marry frogs or puppets I would be mrs. kermit the frog.

5. Yesterday I found a cat at petsmart that I want to adopt ASAP... she's a black and white tuxedo cat, whom I would name Francine, and call Frankie. Total catbabe.

6. I'm strongly considering getting "loosey" and "tighty" tattooed on my left and right wrists respectively... just because I can't think of a sillier tattoo than the ones I already have.

7. I have a tenacious d tattoo. it says 'i ousd'... my cousin jackie has the 'tenac' part.

8. Hands down my favorite thing to do is go for walks at dusk.

9. Worlds best board game? hungry hippos... probably the only game I'm good at.

10. It would take me approximately 46 years to realize that all sports have been obliterated from the planet. I do not care about sports at all and I never watch them.

11. My grandmother was a lounge singer, and I always wanted to follow in those footsteps... I may make that a goal of 2009.

12. I took piano lessons for 10 years and spanish for 15 and I suck at both.

13. I secretly write scripts and keep a notebook of premises because I'm a geek for movies.

14. I never had braces and I don't whiten my teeth... but somehow my teeth are my most complimented feature.

15. Once I pooped a squirrel.. just kidding. But I do love poop jokes.

16. Target (the store) makes me happy.... sometimes I go there for hours just to wander and look at things. It's my temple.

17. I grew up roman catholic, but ever since seeing "slumdog millionaire" I'm not really sure what I am. I dunno why, but this movie made me really question my lifestyle.

18. My cousins are the best people in the world, I would gladly leap into traffic for any one of them. except for jenna, she's a total jackass. jkjk

19. My policy on food is that, if someone eats it in some culture and says it's food then I will try it. But, ever since going to the Erie county fair and seeing the pigs, I will not eat pork.

20. I would have to say my favorite song is Joni Mitchell, case of you.. I'm a sucker for girl singers and acousticals.

21. I want to teach art classes to kids one of these days... like crazy fucking guerilla art none of that crayons and paper junk. I may wait for my own kids to show up.

22. One of my favorite tricks is drawing monsters out of things... draw me a doodle and I will draw you a monster.

23. I have the dumbest phobia ever: butterflies. Once at a wedding they let butterflies loose instead of throwing rice. I couldn't stop whimpering and I dove under my moms chair. I was 19 years old.

24. When my mom tried to analyze my 'type' of man she said I like blue eyes, a full head of hair, and assholes.

25. I want to plant corn in my flowerbed outside of the store... don't you think that would be silly?

the 200th post

I'd like to dedicate this 200th post to one of my favorite sayings...

dating back to it's first recorded use in 'wayne's world'


to the backstreet boys b-side track:


and being perfected by michael scott of 'the office'


it gets better every time. (that's what she said)

your mom circa 1966

Ever since my trip to the laundromat last week I've been trying to pinpoint the style of a certain woman I saw. Fitted denim shirt, blond bouffant, red lips, highwaisted jeans, keds. So cool, I could just picture here bringing the cherry pie to the picnic, drinking a sloe gin fizz, shooting pop cans with a BB gun, and talking about her cats mopsy and elvis.

First I was thinking along the lines of 'steel magnolia's' 'now and then' and the mom in 'hope floats'.

Then ms. mama dirty allured me into the idea of "sixties mom". Although it's not exactly what I was thinking the results are great and I'm really feeling these ladies as my style icons of 2009:

fucking allergies



I keep getting hives... so I've scouring the interweb trying to figure out what the fuck is up. Well here it is my good people, after weeks of food journals, a home made allergy scratch test, and 3 hours of extensive cosmetic research I think I know what I'm allergic to:

your mom.

jkjk... here's what I found:

1. diet pop like diet 7up and coke zero contain the artificial sweetener 'acesulfame potassium' it is not good, it gives me hives.

2. most shampoos contain 'methylchloroisothiazolinone' no I'm not making that word up, it is a preservative and it is not good, it gives me hives on my scalp.

3. my mascara, l'oreal voluminous, contains 'imidazolidinyl urea' which is pretty much pee... on my eye lashes, it is not good, it makes my eyes burn.

4. johnson's baby shampoo, which I bought with the notion that if its sensitive enough for baby it must be ok for me, contains 'quaternium-15' AKA formaldehyde. It is not good, it gives me hives.

that's all I have for now, but I'm sure there is more... until I get a real allergy test.
