we watched “garden state” on tivo. woah. what a let down. it wasn’t terrible. just…boring. and i think that zak braff’s teeth might be dentures. someone else’s dentures. the soundtrack is really nice, but it was a bit trite. i am so jaded. although, i have seen a lot of movies lately that were great. just not that one. ah well.

we also watched “munich” which was really good. it reminded me in a lot of ways of “cold montain” oddly enough. the statement being that war makes no difference and the people get hurt, while the leadership that started it are warm in their homes unaware of what they are really doing. you cut off a head and two more with even more poison sprout. when the enemy does it they are fanatical, when we get our own boys to do it, they are brave. either way, it isn’t right for them to die, for nothing to change, because it isn’t supposed to. stepping down off of movie-inspired soapbox. down.

we did nothing whatsoever today. i woke up exhausted and slept off and on for a lot of the day. i woke up at 8:30p. so odd. i guess it is the lupus, but still.

i finished the circular cardigan and it looks awful on me. it is too small, i think, as well. my boobs are too big. it is wearable but i feel like a caveman. captain caveman! (on a tangent, one of my friends made herself a swimsuit by adding black fringe all the way around it, she thought that it looked like a flapper outfit, but it made her look much rounder than she was, and i told her she looked like captain caveman, like an arsehole, and hurt her feelings. hugely.)so i think i might sell it. but it has 300 bucks worth of my handspun in it not including all the frickin time it took me to make. i never make any garments i make other than socks. which aren’t a garment. but still. drives me nuts. you never know if it will look nice because you can’t try it on ahead of time, or if it will fit. i might stop making garments for myself for a while. i hate the weight whilst knitting, how hot it is on my lap and then they always look like poo. and that sucks. i don’t like knitting things that take so long. if i knew it would be nice, that would be different.

i plan to knit some of my own sock yarn, and after i get paid for some orders, i need to get a big order of it so i can put some up for sale on the site. i didn’t get all that i ordered. so. i will of course keep you posted once i start knitting. i have so much to knit for the wholesale orders that i shouldn’t be doing anything of my own. you know i will take photos for you.

oh, the new sony cybershot wanted me to thank you all for the compliments. she knows that she has a good eye, but she claims that it is mostly good genes. or good microchips. you know what she means. she is sick of just being cybershot or sony…any ideas for her name? i’ll send some paper beads to person who picks the name.

she wanted to show off for you…

also, this will be going up on etsy, it is knitted with handspun and rowan big wool, you can tell which is which and is insanely warm and soft. and no one else has one. i think that is a good thing. it would be so strange if everyone had it.

okay, i am all zoney, so off i go.
xo,
n.
