task #41: working on it

we went to the blues underground blues festival today. for maybe an hour or so. it was a nice setting (the railway museum) and we rode our bikes along the river to get there, but i wont lie. the music was horrible. but, we spotted this cuter young man with a grey and brown striped cardigan and these honkin' fat skate shoes and la dyed blonde curly hair. we complimented him on his book and then talked about coachella. he slept through css (loser!) but saw rage against the machine. always nice. we're going to drink tea in the basement and watch a sarah polley flick (the i inside) and i'm going to embroider onto some felt! yay for embroidery! woot for felt! yayayayaya!! oh my god, speaking of cancer one of the women performing was pushing her cds and said she was donating 2 dollars from every sale to a charity and one of the charities was the war amps. her sister had cancer and went to the war amps camp (hereafter known as "amp camp" stewart says its a camp where you take your broken amp. baaaa) and now she's graduated to a camp counsellor at "cancer camp". cancer camp? is that genuine? sincere? or just a bad non-pc slip? hm. i like amp camp better though. what do you like better? (here, take a poll!)

peter gallagher called, he wants his eyebrows back (task #25 and #8)

ive been trolling at martin's pictures of his last few jaunts in akayu and china and am homesick for those people i loved so much when i was there (i still love them now!) this is a picture of my favourite favourite ramen shop. we used to go there all the time and drink beer from the vending machine and listen to jazz records and talk about counter culture with the daughter. so nice. baaaaaaaaaaah. i'm feeling nihon sick so bad. stewart and i have been counting down the days = 9! suh-weet! so excited! yayayayayayaaaaaaaa! other than that, things at home are sorted out. i'm sure details wont matter for a while, so i'll spare them. but phew!

okay, so task update:

#25 i began watching sex, lies, and videotape w/ stewart and derek and it was all boring and slow, until derek dumped the bowl of popcorn everywhere (ahahahahahaha!) but continued to eat what fell on him and stayed in the bowl. we ended up turning it off. it was nice seeing Gallagher's caterpillars again. and andie mcdowell being all prudish. we didn't get to the part where she fucks james spader. but it feels like it's going to happen!

#8 nine more days! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

jumping out of the saddle

today i received my tights from we love colors in the mail. they're so amazingly saturated with colour, i heart them! i got these fuschia ones and sky blue ones too! i'm feeling very weighed down by a bit of a conflict that is happening within the house and it's hard b/c i'm not sure what's going on. it's making me feel very unsettled, somewhat alone, and nervous. i feel like i'm being put into this situation where confrontation is necessary (or inevitable) rather than just being present in one's body and talking it through as one goes! i'll surface with more details after we get back from Oliver, b/c then it'll make more sense. it just sucks b/c i feel like i'm constantly saying that i'm taking the burden for things. why is it because i act like an adult that i have to clean up other people's stuff? why can't people just tell me what they don't like about me and we can make ammends, rather than freaking out? bah!
