standing up like a man, like a father, understand that all i do is not enough...

i have been so obsessed with felted food (aka nuigurumi) and the fun of it. i made a dozen dougnuts over the weekend and today made some dango for a swap and for sale in my store. the dango is the most fun for me, as it reminds me so much of spring, the ohanami, and JAPAN!! and i never realized how much fake food is out there. i did it because it was cute, but this is just overkill. i mean, really! and it just ends up being creepy after awhile. i had this revelation yesterday or the day before: that i don't have many friends (did i write about this before?) so i'm trying to take an active role and hang out with people, be more social. tonight we had a bunch of people over for dinner and it was SO nice to just eat yummy food, drink wine, and chill out! now my hands are dry from all the cooking (i made yam dip and vegan brownies and couscous salada, and then peanut sauce w/ tofu and broccolli, and polenta with sauce...yuuuum!). coming up soon i'm going to do up all of my hummus recipes (that i've been told i'm famed for) and get them up on artificia. you can see a picture of the doughnuts there too! ooooh, and jeremy and i got into the vancouver feminisms conference! yes! we were talking about making shirts that say, "jeremy and diandra, western canadian academic tour 2007: creating change wherever we go" or something lame like that. i mean, as jeremy said, we're post-consumerist, but we're not post-selling shit to make money.
