SAD. I think I have it.

BUT I got a pretty rad $3 thrift steal. Kinda grungy.

Today I am the exact same age [by the day] that River Phoenix was when he passed. Sad sad sad.

Happy Birthday

Simona celebrated her 21st birthday in San Francisco on December 27th. It was a night to remember, me having drank for the first time this year and Simona drinking for the first time [legally]. My brother coined the night the Bushee Bender. Oh dear.

Found "rare" photos on Flavorwire of 1950s and 1940s circus showgirls. They're pretty adorable and make carnies seem a lot more elegant.

Good timing for me to return to my world of veganism. Following examples from the best!

DARK BLOOD 2012!

2011-12-12T23:03:00.008-08:00

Holy ghost water it is finally going to happen! River Phoenix's last film that was never finished due to his death is finally being released in 2012. What?!

DARK BLOOD is about a guy named Boy who helps a couple out when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. From what I can tell, Boy is a total weirdo.

Here's the official plot summary though:

Dealing with nuclear testing and its long-lasting deadly effects, the story portrays Boy, a young widower living in the desert on a nuclear testing site. Living as a hermit,he waits for the end of the world carving Katchina dolls that he believes have magical powers. While traveling on a "second" honeymoon across the Arizona desert,the car of a Hollywood jet-set couple breaks down. They are rescued by Boy, who holds them prisoners because he desires the woman and wants to create a better world with her

This movie was a nightmare to make. According to director, George Sluizer, co-star Judy Davis was impossible to work with and the weather was a disaster on site in Utah. A lot of natural disasters ensued. Oh, and River Phoenix died with eleven days left of shooting. So it really was a nightmare to make.

Childhood obsession

2011-12-12T23:03:00.007-08:00

I literally watched this movie over and over and over again in my fifth to eighth years of life. I really thought that this was what it would be like when I turned 16.
This movie led me on, but I still enjoy it. This song is very sentimental.

Make-Up

2011-12-12T23:03:00.005-08:00

Maurizio Anzerio's exhibit at A Palazzo Gallery in Brescia, Italy opens today. The theme is about the transcending looks an individual goes through in their lifetime. The trends change and people change too. I can relate, I've had at least 5 different hairstyles in the past three years, along with the way I wear my make-up (of lack of, sometimes) and clothes I wear.

The images are vintage photos with embellishments coating them.

oh i don't know

I was just browsing through Michael Tighe's amazing photography and thought I'd share. He's done a lot of great, memorable work in the past 20 odd years.

I can't help it, though.

Now Mary

2011-12-07T19:37:00.000-08:00

Now Mary
Can't you find a way
...To bring me down?

I'm so sorry
That I had to go
and let you down

Knowing you I'll think
Things are gonna be fine,
but then again you'll
Probably change your mind

I'm sorry mary but,
being your mate
Means trying to find something
That you aren't going to hate

What a season
To be beautiful
Without a reason

Thank you, Jack. Things can get better.

Went to the shooting range today. This was the first time I have ever really shot a gun, but hopefully not the last. Not a republican yet, though. That's going to take a lot more Fox news viewings. Shooting was AMAZING and so close to Skid Row... adrenaline!

SHOTGUN

...I'm a fucking spaz, this photo is not flattering at all. But I have some war scars to prove how badly the shots banged up my arm and hip.

More on the subject of Thanksgiving...

2011-11-24T12:21:00.000-08:00

This post is also for my friends. I wanted to share a bit of myself, sorry for being self-absorbed. I have a lot of Native-American tribe (I call myself a Siouxsie), and have a few features to prove that. But, my direct ancestor on my Mum's side is Myles Standish, which indeed makes me extremely American.

HAWT.

Myles Standish was the captain of the Mayflower and he also had input on the first Thanksgiving ever. This means he was probably also a brutal murderer since the Native Americans got the short end of the pilgrims American embarkment. So, I'm the product of two enemies.
My name is Mary Standish Bushee and I'm a fucking American idiot.
Oh and Myles Standish's nickname was "Captain Shrimp" because he was so short. I am a 6 foot tall female. Must have got that feature from my Sioux side.

Happy Thanksgiving my fellow 'Mericans. Go big or go home. And don't drink and drive.

I'm thankful for the people in my life, California, Håkan Hellström, Kid Cudi, Iggy Pop, the Misfits, punk rock, Instant Netflix, and fucking LIFE ITSELF. For all of my friends and family out there, I want you to know how much gratitude I have for you. We all know what I was like last year and it's a blessing to have survived this year. I appreciate all your love and support.

As for the rest of you humans, thanks for reading my blog if you have read it all the way down to here!

I talk about this series too much, I know that, but the closer the release date, the more I start to dress like Salander. Lets hope I don't bleach my eyebrows... I kinda want to though.

En dag snart.

Girl With the Dragon Tattoo comes to the US December 21st, 2011. I look forward to this more so than Christmas. Although, I think I am excited about most things more than that God-forsaken holiday. That's just me though.

My partner in crime and I do not know what is normal anymore. I'm slightly thug and slightly pathetic when I hibernate in my cave. 6 ft rabbit, who'd have thought?

Oh, and I started rapping to Tupac's "Life Goes On" and use a derogatory word a couple of times... not meant to offend or raise eyebrows, I was just singing the song verbatim because I was feeling it. Sorry!

It's about time...

2011-11-22T22:47:00.000-08:00

Finally got a fucking Holga camera! Good timing so I can have some good quality holiday memories.

Across the Universe is on TV right now... Lame. Some of the set is cool though.

Photos to come soon! For now, enjoy these google finds:

It was all girls at Stoner Park this morning. This is going to be apart of my routine now.

Got my PS3 back!

We've been separated since February. I missed him.

Bookmarks save the day again!

2011-11-15T22:41:00.000-08:00

I am trying to clean out all the bookmarks I have on the computer and I came across Juan Rayos' website again. I remember getting stoned and watching his videos often about a year ago, but then completely forgot about them until now.

So it came to a nice surprise to find his shit! I also am really into the Cults song "Outside", that was my jam last June. I love those girls too, of course, they stand for everything I believe in.

I'm going to Stoner Park tomorrow, ironically, haha! But, I'm only going strictly for skateboarding purposes, I swear.
