we all know how i feel about deke. if you don't know, obviously, you don't talk to me very much, or read this at all. ok, so my deke is in town tonight, at the blank club. missey andrea tells me that the blank club is not as cool as fuel, or as plant 51, but the venue is the same, as are the bands. we shall see. she says it's really dark in there. better to make out with sb with i guess. did i tell you about my day from hell yesterday? you know, i was really excited about the lunar … [Read more...]

tonight there is a lunar eclipse. so, i've got to go find an unabstructed hill to go stand on so that i can see it. lucky for me, it's not like a solar eclipse, where you really shouldn't look at it. i can take daisy out and watch the whole thing. so, forget season finale's of must see thursday... lunar eclipse, here i come. … [Read more...]

so some weenie guy has decided that oreo's are bad for you, and he is suing kraft, the makers of oreo's to take them off the market. all day yesterday, the sfWOW'ers were ranting and raving over trans fatty acids. you know what this discussion did for me? it made me want to go eat some oreos. did i do it, no... but i am having this chocolate issue. hmm. speaking of oreos, have you tried the uh-oh oreos? so yummy! got a slight salty/sweet thing going on. i highly recommend them. … [Read more...]

for the first time in years, i can look at the calendar and not be sad... it's the 13th you know. for some reason, i always realize that it is the 13th, and remember what it used to mean to me. today is the first time that i don't care what it used to mean to me. i have a new date that means something to me. and depending on how sb looks at dates, it is either the 21 or the 25. i think i might pick the 25th... just because that was the planned date. the 21st was mr. allan trying not to … [Read more...]

it is amazing how monday morning can be so relaxing some weeks. it's like, yea! i get to go back to my old routine, and be myself again. forget the relaxing (or lack there of) and go back to a place where you can be appreciated for what you are and what you do again. actually, i've only said hello to kathy and mar. it's just like before i left. i'm glad that i decided not to get stuff for everyone. i think that it's better. i'm getting better at not buying things for people. needless to … [Read more...]

in the midst of the mar and tire man show, came a ray of light. lavendar mist. i never had the opportunity to see it when i visited washington dc last time. i was utterly devistated. i know i have talked about pollock before, i'm still talking about him now. i've never talked with a guard at a museum that knew so much about modern art. i walked to where i knew it was. downstairs, around the corner, a piece that you can see if you glance the right way, but is easily missed. did you know … [Read more...]

after a fairly easy plane ride, mar, tire man and i arrived in washington dc. i slept a bit on the plane, knitted a bit and read a bit of my book. i don't mind flying, but it's a bit boring. mar and tire man snuggled the whole time. i kinda wished that i had invited sb to join us. sb got up just after 5 to take us all to the airport. that was so wonderful. he is such a nice guy. mom looks so much better than i expected. she is growing her hair out too. she doesn't look as old as i … [Read more...]

today begins the first paid vacation that i've had since aspect laid me off 2 years ago. so mar, tire man and i are going to our nations capital to visit mr. bush... should prove to be interesting. the last time i traveled with mar, i had a hideous time, and i'm prepared for the same this time. the cool thing about this time is that i will not be dependant on anyone for transportation or company. i'm guessing that the love birds will be hanging all over eachother, and that i'll be the third … [Read more...]

ok, so who didn't tell me that nigella lawson had a new cookbook out? it's called forever summer... i'm feeling like my friends aren't my friends right now. you all know how much i love nigella! … [Read more...]

tuesday was holocaust rememberance day. when i got to work, on my walk, i noticed on one of the grassy patches a bunch of little flags. most yellow, but some green, red, orange and white as well. i thought to myself... i bet that is art. it's kind of interesting. not really a pattern of flags... but they are kinda pointed in an arrow, but none the less, they fill the entire patch of grass. as i walked closer, i noticed a sign infront of the flags, and there was an elderly gentleman … [Read more...]
