fake feminist police force is really bumming me out

this is rupert. rupert chan is the cutest cat ever. whenever i knit, whenever i weave, whenever i'm washing dishes he's always playing with something: my pant leg, the yarn, the knitting needles. he sits on the photobox in the window and guards the house, or at least makes sure we know when ppl are coming..........i just had a mini-breakdown. crying about how i'm really overwhelmed. and we're poor. but it'll all work out in the end. i just don't have enough time to be on top of everything. but, really: do we all always have to be on top of everything? i'm tired of playing this capitalist western game. i want to move slower. from my root chakra, from my spiritual centre. im a human being! not a human doing! i have to remember that!! today in class we held an open circle on the highway of tears and it was hard. i was feeling quite emotional about it and cried a bit and felt, again, overwhelmed by it. my piece of action from that meeting, though, is making dinner for the highway of tears coordinator: she needs to be taken care of too. i'm gone to victoria for a few mighty days and will be back sooooon!!!! p.s. the lookalikes are now on radio. tuesday nights on CFUR! xoxo p.s. artificia has got a brand new bag!

hot chip will put you out on the ground

i've decided that blogging is keeing me sane. and christmas cards. i haven't received this many in a while--it's actually quite nice. i need to dedicate an entire day to letter writing. this is a hearby announced anouncement: if you're a pal and you'd normally get a present, you won't receive a letter, cd, scarf probably until after xmas. ive been really overwhelmed lately and even just keeping up with a bit of the holiday is tiring. you know what else is tiring? building fucking ikea furniture! (thanks mom!! i love the bedroom set!!). i've been building ikea furniture since i've gotten home and i have one nightstand to go...gaaaaaah. stewart made yummy pasta from a jar for dinner and we had yummy wine from oliver and great salad. i feel full and tired now. i must get to that night stand. i still have a bit of work to get to!! yeeps!! and we're dying stewart's hair poppy red. the cats are freaking out! bed? what's this! oh, and it's super windy out. did i mention i love hot chip.
