i amaze me

You know how sometimes in movies and books peopel say they have moments where they amaze themselves and it gives them a sort of renewed sense of spirit? Well that is what i have right now. Guys, i think i have officially topped myself for party decor. Prom is happening tomorrow night, ie my 80's bday party. I have been shopping for decorations and putting shit together all week and basically this is what i have come up with.

My engineer friend came over and we set on building the rubiks cube photo op arch.
This is hugo and i, on our first attempt. We taped the top and it all collapsed. Did i mention that hugo is an electrical engineer, thus highly useless for building things? yeah so after designing a very intricate rope and pulley system hidden within the blocks we made it work and came up with this. I wish you could see the hooks and ropes and shit holding all this shit up. the french came home and i forced him to model what pictures tomorow would look like
i loooooove it!!! And in conclusion, from a few different angles complete

The next feat was to accomplish the task of installing a semi permanent disco ball lighting system. Lots and lots of fishing wire and an ikea spotlight later i got it worked out. alls i have to say is thanks baby jesus for high ceilings! so much more decoration potential! so we have this ridiculously high ceiling, like vaulted. And to reach it we usually have to borrow a ladder from our neighbors. going to their house is always bizarre because they have lots of cats and it's like a real house. It has plants and a pantry full of food and like lots of furniture and throw blankets. and i realized, our house does not really look lived in. It totally looks like we are ready to have a party at any second and need to be able to move furniture in 10 minutes. That is our house. Anyways here is the disco ball

It would look much cooler if you could see the lighting system and what not. But more photos will come tomorrow on the actual night. Now i just have to hang up the glow sticks, cover the doors with foil and built my robot!!!!!!!!!!!
