What is it like, to live in New York?
I am so unprepared for my classes this week. I am putzing around as usual. I just want to be a happy homemaker, and fucking knit, and take photos.
TOO
BAD.
current mood:  omfg

I've been jobhunting all day, since 7:30 am, and my head is going to EXPLOOOOOODEEEEE. Good news: people like me. Bad news: that doesn't mean they want to hire me!
-----------------------------------
Okay, that's literally thirteen hours of job searching/picking up apps and writing my resume, which I am still not happy with. Also, craigslist is sucking lately. I just want a decent job. Rrra. I'm done til tomorrow…

3:20 pm - Christmas can suck it
|
I just bought a pepper mill online for my father, as a christmas gift.
I was trying to find the most excellent pepper grinder EVER MADE because:
a) it's a boring gift as it is, and
b) my dad uses this stupid plastic grinder thing and it pisses me off.
Too bad a second after I ordered it I realized it is the most sexually explicit pepper mill in the WORLD.
MAGNUM PLUS -- a NINE INCH, thick, black, plastic phallus of pepper grinding glory.
HAHAaaa ohhh dear. ALL of the mills are relatively penis-like. At least I didn't get the lil' one:
THAT would probably hurt his feelings.
Whatev! My boyfriend AB recommended it so that will be my excuse when I get really weird looks from everyone as he opens the package.
PS; I hate airplanes.
current mood:  amuuused

2:43 pm - FABRIC AND FOOD
|
Okay, I'll admit it.
I have and internet crush. YES it's true... I am smitten with pim! A fellow type-padder that writes a mostly-food blog, Chez Pim. I crush, mostly because I envy her über-foodie lifestyle (she's not even employed! and she eats at French Laundry and goes to France and eats fancy French food!) but also because of this entry. I found someone as obsessively passionate about loose leaf tea as myself. I do confess to drink the occasional bag though. Convenience. :\
Oh, and she also provides nice photos, to supplement the written bits.
End confession.
_________________________________________________
Also, to demostrate my craftiness (umm yes):
I made this buckwheat pillow for bee's grandma, because she is cute and her birthday is on Thanksgiving. What a good excuse to use an expensive piece of fabric!
Being that I am ever-infatuated with Liberty fabrics, even a little (nine-dollar) fat quarter of the stuff excites me (textiley speaking). The best place to get fabric, period, in Marin county is ambatalia in mill valley. The owner is even a Moll(y), and has a fancy last name to boot. I like her but I like the fabric she carries more. Oooo.
The pillow's lightly scented with lavender and calendula ( I like that shit ) and is made up of a bit (7" x 15") of muslin (which holds the buckwheat) and has a little slipcase of 'tomato'-print liberty. It's actually teeny flowers but brendan insists on the tomato thing. So she can wash the slipcase! And you can heat it up to help with your arthritic parts. Hahahah I have such sympathy for the elderly.
And clearly, I am a genius.
( +2Collapse )
Oh also! Everyone should have a few Bio-Masks by LUSH. I'm a convert :\ -- the Crash Course in Skincare is awesome.
current mood:  mep

I like this because it is quiet.
I prefer to be quiet. Is quiet out of fashion or something? Because I rarely meet people like me, that want to be quiet and just drink a lot of fucking tea.

✍ I hope y'all ladies and menz are voting tomorrow.
√ If you have no idea, check out this schmutz.
☁ I vote at the Tamalpais. Lucky thing. It's very swank, Lots of faux gold chandelier action. Father has a room reserved for when he is rendered useless elsewhere.
★ Earl grey with lavender is growing on me. Usually don't like earthy things. Things that taste like dirt. But when you add sugar or honey, anything can be palatable!
➴ I wish I possessed greater amounts of smart (intelligence). Seriously.
✁ I wish I were the kind of person that was accidentally, always cute. Just... I do. I mean, I don't want to pretend to be that way, I just wish I was.
☃ I wish I had more confidence and faith in myself, because then I would probably not make so many wish lists.
☠ The best thing about processing film is squeegee-ing. With your fingers… it feels like whoooooosh.
❧ My arms are way to short to do 35mm though. Another reason why 2¼ is almost god-like.
≠ I worked for a long time today and now my hands smell like ink and chemicals.
* I'm reading Memories of my Melancholy Whores  right now
(only during trips to Book passage because I am c h e a p. I can't decide if I like the cover more that the book. Probably.
º Joes jeans make my ass look really good. :\ I promise to never say that again.
• It would be cool to work at Paxton Gate that weird store next to the pirate store on Valencia, because being surrounded by bizarre objects would mean oohing and ahhhing all day and that's fun!
( Some weird shit:Collapse )

8:19 pm - i was reeeally tempted to post this in 'vegan_cooking'
|
this is no cakelette. this is a goddamn cake, mothafucka. i done made it for pa's birthday.
southern heirloom cake (and oh how southern it is)
compliments, the heritage of southern cooking by Missus Camille Glenn
ingredients:
lots of butter
many eggies
flour salt cream and all the other good things that, when combined, consequently produce a delicious thing such as above photo depicts.
also, a fabulously glossy chocolate ganache-type "queen anne's" frosting.
geez, i am so not wordy.
edit -- i ate a piece and it's miraculousy perfect, considering our oven is 78,000 years old!
--------
lord above me, i am SUCH an old lady for loving marc jacobs things! $$ but i could never $$ ~ hi, you are expensive
