2008 12 30 (“if rome won’t go to mohammed, mohammed will clap until it does”)

this is my friend doll, and her headstones ring. i couldn’t get a very good picture of it, which is frustrating. it’s a really cool ring. moose and i are spending the evening watching the second season of skins. it is an incredibly tasteless show; we are compelled.

i had a lovely flight to minneapolis — the plane was only half full, and there were no screaming babies.

2008 12 28 (out of my body)

a long time ago — like, maybe march or april? — shira sent me a box of stuff, and one of the things in the box was a bottle of vitamin b12 pills. i take them every day, and lately i’ve been taking 2 per day. i haven’t gotten sick since i’ve started taking them. [...]

2008 12 27 (you held me down in this starless city)

manicure and pedicure today at a new nail place. they did meticulous work. i woke up early this morning and did a little packing. it’s so overwhelming; i would much rather sit on the couch and stare at the ceiling. i swept the kitchen, too, and last night i scrubbed the stove for 45 minutes, [...]

2008 12 26 (revenge is sweeter than you ever were)

today i made green bean casserole for supper. it tastes a little funny because i made it with roasted garlic cream of mushroom soup instead of regular cream of mushroom soup. for most of the day, i sat around and thought about how i would pack, were i to pack. i thought about what i [...]

somehow, while i wasn’t paying attention, i got exhausted. i can’t find the case in which i keep all my scissors and needles. i’m knitting up a pair of orange rosewarmers, and i can’t finish them without a damn needle. i find this way more frustrating than it should be. i don’t know, i’m just [...]

2008 12 24 (you held me down in this starless city)

i spent ten hours at rivendell tonight, having a freaking blast. check out fi’s socks — aren’t they cute?

2008 12 23 (i’ve got all this ringing in my ears and none on my fingers)

i’ve got all this fiber to spin, and i broke my spindle by stepping on it in the middle of the night.

2008 12 22 (dear gravity, you held me down in this starless city)

it was cold and windy today, so instead of going out into the weather to get some brie and apples, i stayed home and ate leftover pizza and watched episodes of brotherhood. it’s a show about the mob, which is a point in its favor, and it stars jason isaacs, which is another point in [...]

2008 12 21

brunch at bevo, which is in a giant windmill. oatmeal for lunch; i love it with walnuts. pizza for supper — i waited too long to eat, so i was too hungry, so i ate too much too quickly. i was going to knit all night and make myself a hat (it is so cold [...]
