2008 08 20 (don’t let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy)

this eagles song is following me everywhere i go. i hear it on the radio every time i’m in the car, pretty much. today was an exception; i was in the car twice and only heard it once. this is regia silk yarn. it is 55% wool, 20% silk, and 25% polyamide, which i guess [...]

2008 08 19 (14g)

i went into the piercing shop because i wanted to stretch my ears a lot. they refused to let me stretch past 14g because my current earrings are 18g. it doesn’t even look different. it didn’t even hurt.

2008 08 18. (i need to clean my apartment.)

there is nothing in my apartment that breaking it down into sections and giving each section a good fifteen minutes over the course of a couple of days couldn’t fix. yet whenever there is something on the floor of my apartment, i am immediately overwhelmed by it and can’t handle doing anything to fix it. [...]

2008 08 17 (we are the lucky ones)

when my dad and nancy were here, they bought me this giant box full of cutlery and plates and cups and mugs. but the mugs are cutesy, with saucers and everything. they’d bought this stuff for me while with some of their friends who live in the area. (well, in kansas.) the girl they were [...]

2008 09 16 (while the radio collides to the sound of our heartbeats)

i love this song by metro station — “california” — it is about running away, and i love songs about running away. i have always wanted to run away. once i called in sick to work for a couple of days and ran away to boston, where i spent the nights on kovsky’s couch and [...]

2008 08 14 (shake it)

this is christina and me in my grandparents’ living room on their incredibly comfortable recliners. i was up at 430 in the morning, so by 6pm, i was crashing. picture taken by my mom.

2008 08 13 (you’re a secret, i think, in dot-dot-dot-dot-dot–polka dot pink.)

dreams so sublime in hot pink time from your dot to your dot i draw a line… i still know every word of every song from swans crossing. this pink really is an obnoxious cotton candy color. i am doing the body of the sweater in pink, and the sleeves in a dark, rich purple. [...]

2008 08 12 (red red wine)

there is nothing like drinking red wine (from a bottle with a screw top, out of a plastic cup) that i’ve mixed with club soda. it is all class all the time here in my apartment. also did i mention that i’m working? tsk tsk, drinking on the job. tonight steph and i ate ethiopian [...]

2008 08 11 (the wind is blowing you right through me tonight)

i accidentally watched a documentary on chickens and eggs yesterday, and have decided to go back to being vegan. today i packed up all the non-vegan food in my apartment and took it over to chris and tammie and fiona. this is possibly a mistake, but i feel pretty good about it so far. and, [...]
