2008 11 19 (& i for one can see no blood from the hearts & the wrists you allegedly slit.)

i need a manicure. i get on an airplane in, like, 13 hours, and i am not packed or anything. i have to take out the trash and change the cat litter. i did remember to have the post office hold all my mail. it is so strange that i am basically going to be [...]

do you see how this looks like our lady of guadalupe? me too. do you know what it really is? a turkey made out of yarn that i helped rosa decorate with glitter glue at rivendell tonight. the world is a strange and amazing place.

2008 11 17 (two quarters & a heart down)

hid under the blankets all day, until finally i got tired of accidentally falling asleep and having anxiety dreams, so i got up, went out, mailed a bunch of stuff, and got a pedicure. after my pedicure, i went to whole foods, and after i made myself really happy by grocery shopping, i realized that [...]

2008 11 16 (my heart is on my sleeve — i wear it like a bruise or black eye)

i know you’re living way out west don’t get me wrong i’m not impressed with you no more.

today was a hard day. i brushed my teeth, like, five or six times, and they still don’t feel clean. this is theodore sitting in the bathtub. he just sits there and looks around, like it’s different every single time. i have been listening to a lot of from under the cork tree. fall out [...]

2008 11 13 (this love is killing me)

i am in iowa. i got here pretty early — way earlier than i expected. i got lost trying to find my hotel, and i stopped at a gas station to ask for directions. next door to the gas station was this sign. it says: Bob’s your uncle a pizza cafe hahahahahaha. i ordered from [...]

2008 11 12 (we’ll make them so jealous, we’ll make them hate us)

this is the purple fiber that i bought the other day, spun into yarn! i only spun about two oz of it before i realized that since i spun it so much thinner than the green yarn, two oz would be plenty to ply with the green yarn and make a nice, fluffy, fuzzy, exciting [...]

2008 11 11 (thnks fr th mmrs)

this morning was brunch with an old friend, and then the fiber store again. i bought a new drop spindle and some really nice fiber and have spent the afternoon spinning. i’m going to ply this together with some purple fiber, and maybe knit some arm warmers or something. this is about an ounce of [...]

2008 11 10 (come on, just snap snap snap your fingers for me)

moose is really good at spinning on a drop spindle and i am jealous. i haven’t washed my hair since thursday. every day it looks better. i am so impressed by my hair! tonight for supper i had a really spicy black bean burger, and a chocolate malted. the chocolate malted didn’t taste like anything [...]
