worked on tubes for over 2 hours.
then i rearranged all my yarn and put all the skinny yarn that i can make
tubes out of into one container. and it's a LOT. like a lawn bag full. i have
so much yarn. i have a lot of acrylic. i might sell the acrylic because i
am turning into more of a yarn snob now and i don't know if i want to work
with acrylic. but at the same time it does hold it's shape so well for sculpturey
things in a way that i just haven't found in a natural yarn.
hmmmm. but ya, my amount of yarn is bordering on sheer absurdity. who am i
kidding, it IS aburdity. it crossed that border long long ago. i think my
house is about to give birth to a yarn monster or gag up a giant hairball.
be careful what you wish for my friends, i wished for yarn and i sure the
heck did get some in the last few years!

trying to learn aout Rinzai Zen:

but my brain is going too fast (ironically) to take it in!
1:49pm
it's getting darker and darker out.
this is such tornado weather. i'm so glad i live in a city, tornadoes rarely
ever strike cities.
but when i was a child and lived in southern minnesota in a very small town
named glenville (almost iowa) it is tornado alley down there. the tornado
siren would go off all the time. i have a terrible fear of tornadoes.
when the siren would go off i would lug the hamper full of all my stuffed
animals down into the basement and then hide under the stairs.
then i never was strong enough to bring the hamper back up so my parents would
have to help me.
12:42pm
it's 77 degrees with 64% humidity!
ack, the humidity!
i think i will walk after the sun starts to go down maybe, because i do not
want a heatstroke like yesterday. it's supposed to get up to 80 with 60% chance
of strong storms all day.
i made tubes with my mattel knitmagic
for about 6 hours yesterday 2 hours before i went out to dinner, and 4 hours
(from midnight until 4am) last night. tubes tubes tubes tubes!
i'm not going to make anything from them until i have used up most of all
my skinny string that fits with the knitmagic. i can't use thicker stuff because
it doesn't fit. then i will assort it all my colour and make things. of course
i should probably just makes scarves from it all since that is what i could
sell cheapest. but the "big project" person in me wants to assemble
these long full length coats from them and so i have a little battle waging
inside me over that.
but i will see which sides wins the battle AFTER i make all the tubes.
for now i will just continue making tubes.
although today i must also send off
cds to people who bought them.
i must get that all organized and see who ordered what and write down their
addresses and stuff. i better do that now.

Horoscope for Aries (June 10 2005)
Don't take to heart what someone says to you today. Participating in something physical will take your mind off the little frustrations you are facing. Your heart is in the right place, so don't let anyone make you feel guilty.
and
With a true spirit
Valid during several weeks: At its highest, this influence indicates an unusual
degree of selflessness in love. In personal relationships, the need to care
for someone else may mean that you will not get immediate gratification other
than the pleasure of helping someone you love. If your relationship is basically
sound, this influence will assure greater rewards of love and satisfaction
later. Although this is a time for self-denial in love relationships, do not
fall into the negative trap of playing martyr. Do not inflict on others, especially
the ones you are helping, a constant awareness that you are "unselfishly"
devoting yourself to them. This will undo your efforts and create trouble.
If you cannot service with a true spirit of selfless devotion, do nothing.
and
Your planet, Mars the Warrior, is engaged today by mental Mercury. You are ready to take on anyone who gets in your way, but this isn't just about winning an argument. You want to appear intellectually competent to others and consequently may over-extend yourself while putting on a show. Slow down and enjoy the finer things by pulling your energy out of your head and back into your body.
