2008 10 31 (flower hexagon)

tonight i was at rivendell for a while and chris laughed so loudly that he scared one of the kids trick-or-treating, and she refused to come get candy. it was pretty funny. then i came home and tried to sleep, but it’s too warm. not warm enough to turn on the a/c, but warm enough [...]

2008 10 30 (we broke the spinning wheel already)

but jozelle is gluing it back together.

2008 10 29 (my heart is sick of being in chains.)

if i go to bed before midnight, it is a good bet that i’ll wake up before six. the other day i decided that i wanted orange hair, but it made me look really pink, so i decided to dye it back to black. but the bleach needed to turn it orange beforehand killed my [...]

2008 10 28 (breaking, but i couldn’t get the pieces apart)

i am really depressed for no reason at all, and eating only junk. post hoc ergo propter hoc? sometimes i don’t want to leave the house because i don’t have any clothes that i want to wear that i am comfortable in. since moving to st louis, i’ve gone up at least two sizes, so [...]

2008 10 26 (this car had a dog inside it.)

on the 26th, i spent a lot of time in the yarn store. on the way to the yarn store, i stopped at starbucks and saw this car. i don’t care what anyone says. i love starbucks. i love pumpkin spice lattes.

2008 10 27 (my heart is sick of being in chains)

this is the right hand panel of my swing jacket. the left hand panel is finished. i have another hour or two of work on this panel and then it’s done. then i just have to do the sleeves and piece the thing together. oh, and figure out buttonholes and buy buttons. i am really [...]

2008 10 25 (i am simon cowell.)

i went to a mini-con saturday afternoon, in st peters, where we played a game called “editor idol”: two other editors and i all listened to the first 100 words of someone’s manuscript, and critiqued it. normally i stay away from these games, because people don’t really want to hear critique, but i played because [...]

2008 10 23 (if there is a god, i thank him every day for bringing us bob. redux.)

in life on the murder scene, frank says, “if there is a god, i thank him every day for bringing us bob.” i started knitting this sock while watching LOTMS, and i finished knitting this sock while watching my chemical romance videos, and it just seems to fit. now i only have to knit the [...]

2008 10 22 (plugs. 10g.)

my 10g plugs came today. i am hoping they won’t fall out. also today i finished my work early in the afternoon, and was given the rest of the day off by my boss. it was pretty awesome. i knitted the entire foot of a sock (i’ve just finished turning the heel now, six hours [...]

2008 10 21

the problem with waking up at 530 in the morning is that by 6 a.m. i am bored. i’ve finished all my freelance work for october and november, and most of my knitting projects i need light to work on. i went outside to see if there is anything interesting in my neighborhood to photograph [...]
