it's lookin' like a limb torn off...

for anyone that knows pg and the loveable spruceland mall (that starbucks is my favourite) knows that not only did the dollar store close down but the fields jumped ship to victoria and 4th. and spruceland is even more void. we ran home from cinema cnc and even stopped to get a tea and still beat the 89 to spruceland, barely. now nachos is a cookin' and a late night snack to be eaten. i should eat meals more. rupert's coming in for the love and sitting on a pile of things that include "sandino's daughters" by margaret randall, the cordless phone, our camera, and a REB approval form. he's a classy cat.

today was one of the best days i've had in a while. i celebrated iwd by choking back the tears at the breakfast and enjoyed incredible speaches and a so so breakfast. bought some cute underwear, made arrangements to get pants from an old coworker, bought some yummy groceries, and knitted! i'm working on the holding hands, feeding ducks scarf and have been doing okay getting used to the placement of the star stitch, though making mistakes. and then tonight we went to see persepolis (!!!!!) amazing (!!!) and i screwed up every row with the star stitch. fuck.

nachos are done and ruperts officially lying on that pile of stuff. ooh, we saw NORTHERN LIGHTS tonight yes!

below is a shirt of the lovely craig h. from cubist literature. this shirt rocks me hard. i hate being poor. i recommend someone buy it for me.

still sick, the tale of my life

i'm on a gluten and wheat free diet (as previously complained about) and the other night i made pizza (!!) with rice crust and the crust was gross. but, i also made wheat/gluten free choco chip cookies that were delicious. so it's up and down, i guess. i pretty much had to cover it in frank's to make the gross rice taste go away. i made a handful of things to put in the store, two sets of man magnets and a pair of wrist warmers (with thumbs) that need a patch/embroidery. i also want to snazz up some hoodies and stuff but need to focus on my homework/ma just a little more. i'm getting really into the good stuff and am excited. i want to share it all, but soon.

i need to go to my tutorial and teach my students how to resist the man, question everything, and enjoy the bridge over the river kwai. sweet.
