2008 06 30 (all the stuff from inside my handbag)

there is a meme going around about stuff in people’s handbags, so i thought i would do it. this is the stuff in my handbag, which is actually a my chemical romance messenger bag that i bought at the my chem show a few months ago. – my wallet. i bought this wallet in england [...]

2008 06 29 (“it’s just how i feel,” frank had said. “it doesn’t mean anything.”)

i tripled one of my meds, and lo! i am off the couch. i am up to the increase rows of my sweater, which means that i’ve done 7.5″ of it. i’m amazing. i’m wondering a little bit about yarn here, since i haven’t even used two skeins yet. my gauge is totally and completely [...]

my apartment is a mess, i need a shower, there are three loads of laundry that want doing, i still haven’t felted the bag i made while i was in new york, and the cats are getting into everything. but nothing can tempt me from the couch, where i have spent the day buried under [...]

2008 06 27 (mr. vincent liam shankly)

vincent likes to drink the water from the tap in the bathroom. it’s a pain in the ass, but i indulge him, because i’m a sucker for my cats. earlier tonight, i bought indian food for supper, because i was supposed to have it for lunch but lunch plans fell through, and i just couldn’t [...]

2008 06 26 (down this manhole of memories)

i am knitting a pink and orange sweater. it is striped in a pretty random pattern, because i couldn’t remember the fibonacci sequence when i started striping, because i am awesome. last night i had a really hard time knitting it, though, because in the light of my living room, the pink and orange look [...]

2008 06 25 (jinxed things ringing as they leak through tiny cracks in the boardwalk.)

this is chris’s plate of potatoes from supper at ihop tonight. we were going to go to a bar to see a swing band, but it was just too hot to sit outside. actually, it isn’t that hot at all — just muggy and gross. i would’ve braved it, but i wanted to hang out [...]

2008 06 24 (malabrigo silky merino hot pink & coral)

it’s so funny; i think nothing of dropping $150 on pink and orange wool/silk blend to knit a sweater, but i won’t spend more than $40 on any single piece of clothing from a store. i am probably not even going to wear the sweater, when it comes down to it — what am i [...]

2008 06 22

dunkin’ donuts! finally. for the first time since arriving, i was inside one, got coffee, egg and cheese on a croissant, and a doughnut. i haven’t even had the doughnut yet, i am saving it to savor later. tonight is the tom conlon show. before that: to the verizon store for a new phone, one [...]

2008 06 20 (jason)

this is my cousin jason. this is the only picture i took of him in which he was not giving the camera the finger. my dad came to my aunt and uncle’s house to pick me up. we all sat around the table drinking hot beverages and talking. my parents separated when i was eight [...]
