5:26pm
back from renewing my p.o. box for
another year.
a beautiful day out.
made a new aquaintance named Luke.
we are going to make each other comp cds.
i love new music.
yay for having a cd burner!
3:29pm
fuck. i think i need to get to my
P.O. box asap and renew it. like NOW.
DAMN.
also working things out with jason and an old friend.
intense day.
good day?
maybe.
12:26pm
the last day of august.
trippy.
i'm listening to slowdive.
the days are getting less hot.
right now it's 70 degrees.
sebastian seems to be better.
M put in his notice with his roomates that they should look for someone to
take his place because he is going to move in with me.
i'm glad he doesn't own many things because i don't know hwere we are going
to put anything. but we'll figure it out.
thankfully, he has no furniture.
i'm a little nervous about it, because i am a living alone type of person.
but he is over here everyday anyway, so it makes no sense for him to have
to live where he is right now.
plus we are both poor, and so pulling our resources together makes sense.
i think it will work out well.
he is really mellow and i love him :)
we eat the same things. he likes to clean.
we are on the same schedule.
i guess the only thing i am really shy about it making music. i don't like
to create music around anyone.
i'm very private and shy about that.
i can close the bedroom door and go into the thing room and all should be
ok.
eitheer that or i just have to get over my shyness of making music with someone
around.
i mean, heck, i made most of my records (demos) when i lived with people so
i know i can do it :)
i'll have to take some of my clothes out of my closets, clothes that can't
get wrinkly, so he can hang up his clothes. my closets are bursting.
i keep getting rid of so much, but then i get more.
i am a thing magnet.
it's really nice having jason's dresser and shelves.
the shelves i had before were ugly and i got them from the trash.
the couch is aewsome.
it's great to be able to sit in there and take it all in.
the thing room it's it's own little world.
i will take pictures of it in progress today.
i really wish i had not lost my wide angle lense because it really needs that
to capture it.
it's sunny out today which makes me happy :)
M works noon to 8.
he gets here about 9pm.
i can't quite comprehend that M and i are going to be living together.
the last time i lived with a boyfriend was with Cris, and that was...when
i was 23 years old?
oh wait, i lived with jason. damn. wow, mental block on that one!
i have room for M's computer on my desk.
i think all he has is the computer, a bit of clothes, some books and notebooks,
and i can't really think of what else he has.
i want to create a little work station for him somewhere so he can write.
he has a book in him but it might be a screenplay.
he doesn't know.
anyway, he needs to write some essays about it 1st, which i think is a really
good idea.
i looked at plauckyfluff's site today which i hadn't in so long.
in her news section it said this:
"URBAN OUTFITTERS emailed me
and asked if i could make them 500-1000 POUNDS of handspun yarn! I know....I
know...! It's not funny, .... ok it's kind of funny. i don't think they know
what handspun really is. but lets do the math just for kicks: ON AVERAGE (for
me)
one skein= 4oz
one skein takes 2 hours (spin time only....not dyeing/carding)
one POUND= 8 hours of spinning (one full work day)
1000 pounds x 8 hours/pound= 8000 hours of spinning!
if i just worked 8 hour days 7 days a week i could do this in just under 3
years...however, if i work 24 hours a day and didn't take a single break i
could do it in 333 days. so...i don't know, maybe i could pull that off.
But really, now i'm freaked out. THEY ARE ON TO US!! So keep your eyes open for your favorite Pluckyfluff designs to be "borrowed" and spun by tiny hands in 3rd world countries for giant corporate clothes companies. "
and then i went to fuzzy's site and
she said they asked her, too.
yes, we've created a trend that urban outfitters now wants.
but nothing can ever replace actual handspun made by people who adore the
art of it and pay attention to each inch.
i'm sure the people who call our yarn "novelty yarn" will be pretty
much chewing their limbs off in pain at seeing this stuff at huge retailers.
yarn people are weird. there is such a divide between art yarners and not.
it's like some sort of religion.
it's bizarre.
i've divorced myself from all of that long ago.
the supernature book that i was going to be in which specializes in unique
and ingenuis designs "doesn't understand" my hats. so i won't be
part of that now.
and the DIY network has turned down pluckyfluff, fuzzybumblebee, pinkveneer,
and i's ideas on a DIY session on how to make art yarn.
because they just could not understand or deal with that the process is about
being SURPRISED.
they can't deal if they do not know what the end result will be.
we had to laugh and shrug.
i do feel like spinning again.
if only just to get my creative wheels going again.
i DID start making some more art photography.
some people noticed :)
i'm redefiniing and designing myself.
as much as it's been incredibly exciting to finally be "free" of
jason in the role of his girlfriend.
it has been very difficult.
and not only my spirit/mind/emotions has had to adjust but even my body, which
was a surprise to me.
even tho i feel a bit ajar, i know i am on the right track again.
but all these technical difficulties have not helped.
it's probably all related somehow.
i wish i could put the thumbs in the today section here, and not just a link
that says "images here"
but if that is what needs to be done in order for things to work, then so
be it.
and i will work dilligently on getting all the anagrams to work.
sex worker's art show is taking applications
again.
it's such hard work, but i might do it again.
and this time i have M to help and be a a part of it :)
god, i haven't even THOUGHT about
my movie, "40 in portal"
i'll still want to do that.
last year was getting a restraining order on mom year.
this year it's break up with jason and get a new boyfriend year.
life throws so many curveballs.
i fixed the bathroom drain finally
and also the garbage disposal.
i have a ladder now to get some burnt out lightbulbs in.
then i need the maintenance guys to fix my bathroom water pressure and put
in a new light for the fridge and under the microwave.
jason gave me his cool thing you
suction to your tv to make it do a pretty lightshow.
yay :)
tomorrow, september's here again.
