Sometimes I think I'm cultivating myself to be an acceptable housewife. I can hem pants, knit a scarf, draw a pretty picture and I can cook a steak. But I can't really say I do any of these things really well. But damnit, I could totally hang out with a Jane Austen character and be their best friend!
Next I'll be reading poetry aloud in the garden. No fear my dears, I'm not down on myself about being a dilettante, I instead will use this realization to become a fierce (fill in the blank) - whatever it is I choose to focus on! Watch out (insert) world, I'm comin'!

So. I really really want to take another jewelry class from Studio 174. I've taken two classes using silver for all the pieces made. This time I'd like to take the gold class - as some may know, i usually only wear gold. It doesn't really matter what I like to wear as I'd like to sell or give away the pieces I make anyway but the problem is that I really don't know how to make attractive silver pieces. Anyway, gold is really expensive these days, about $300-$400 worth of gold is needed for the class, which also happens $400 itself. I know. This is a whole lot of money to shell out for a hobby. But I keep telling myself that the amount of gold you get for $400 can make thousands of dollars worth of jewelry. Seriously, I can make a ring right now worth about $3000! nutty. But. as we all know to well, you need money to make money. UGH. can't i just live on an island fashioning reed rings for the locals?

Hey Sgt Brown! No one will notice if you take just a lil bit... share that hussein gold!

I went to the costume store a while ago for a potential office prank. Didn't happen. But while I was there, I saw a bird hat. A little yarmulke with an elastic band to anchor around your chin, all under a nice fake colorful bird.
I'd like to go get this bird hat, and wear it everyday. If only the world wouldn't judge or if i wasn't so scared of the world judging - i would wear it all the time.

saturday afternoon Leland arranged a surprise picnic for Nathan in sheep meadow. we had a great time all trying to find each other in a 15 acre spot, making sure we were all together on time for the 'surprise'. There was a lot of "i'm near the rock. no not that rock. the smaller one... on the north-ish, west rock." There was frisbee playing, music, lots of great food and shit talkin. Somehow we managed to finish two bottles of prosecco, 2 bottles of white, and one heine each, i was hungover before it was even nighttime. good times people good times...

The saddest part of a broken heart
Isn't the ending so much as the start

It was hard to tell just how I felt
To not recognize myself
I started to fade away

And after all it won't take long to fall in love
Now I know what I don't want
I learned that with you

I like Claudine Ko because she's normal, has a cool job (writes/edits for jane & giant robot among others) and doesn't overwrite - see daily candy (sorry alex). so anyway, a little something from jane:

Why some Asian girls might seem like cold, stuck-up bitches.

Here's the scene: I'm washing my hands in the communal bathroom-sink area of this crowded Lower East Side bar where the DJ can't seem to decide if he's playing for a frat house or a sorority party. An okay-looking white guy exits a stall, sidles up next to me, and in his British accent, says, "I like your style." I glance at my reflection in the mirror: my hair is in braids, and I'm wearing an over-dyed navy blue military style jacket over green army pants. "Thanks," I say. To which he continues, "I went to China last year." —Claudine

insanity, the good kind

Gina said I should blog about something she should know about. Well, G-nuh, sometimes the internet has good stuff. Only sometimes though...
And this is one of them.

isn't it weird that it's become awkward to im someone at a late hour? as it is to call someone at a late hour?

the ring II

this is what silver looks like unpolished and with solder all over it, flux remains and grubby fingerprints. and no stones.
