2008 07 20 (i’m the narrator & this is just the prologue)

i did not mean for today’s picture to be a picture of my bum. but vincent jumped on the computer while i was fixing the picture on the wall, and it snapped, and it’s cute. i have a cute bum, y/y? (i did not actually know that my bum was so cute. this is the [...]

2008 07 19 (they don’t love you like i love you.)

this is the first sleeve of my hourglass sweater. i thought that it would be going much more quickly than it is, but i did put it down for a week to make the rosewarmers, so i should shut up and quit complaining. i’ll have this sleeve finished by the end of today, probably; there [...]

2008 07 18 (kitten in a box!)

my new sneakers that i bought for walking to the park came today. it’s awesome that i bought them late last night and they are already here. they are also awesome and have skulls all over them. theodore likes the box best, though.

2008 07 17 (i wear my heart out on my sleeve, and i forget the rest of me.)

ROSEWARMERS. finished! this picture does not actually show that the color is much closer to pink than purple. THANKS, LIGHTING. i can’t believe i managed to knit them up so quickly. and i love them. i am currently wearing the rosewarmers and nothing else — because it is too hot to be dressed, but not [...]

2008 07 15 (62,120)

i wrote seven thousand words tonight, in under four hours. i have no idea how i did this, i think it might have to be chalked up to magic. then i took myself off to the bluebird to see a bunch of bands. i really liked the first band that played (the analysts). they sounded [...]

2008 07 14 (don’t wake me up if i’m dreaming, california dreeeeeeams)

i attempted to hook up my old pc laptop to the thing that makes turns videotapes into dvds. it did not work, which made me sad, for i have an episode or two of california dreams, that old tv show about the brother and sister who start a band with their friends, on a videotape, [...]

2008 07 13 (sad. girls. for. life.)

today i am working on the wristwarmers that rose wore in 2×13. i actually started them on wednesday, but i wasn’t thrilled with the fact that the pattern calls for a 3/3 cable every third row, because the cable ended up so tight that it pulled at the work horizontally. it looked bad. i’ve worked [...]

supper at 1030 at night — i made a sandwich like the kind they make at waffle house, and dropped half of it on the floor. i win.

2008 07 11

i don’t really have anything to say today. once my dad and nancy left, i spent the rest of the day working, then knocked off early to read a novel. i haven’t moved from this position on the couch in a couple of hours, except to refill my cup with diet coke.
