Back in My Stall

-
  • Longing for some of the vampire bat slippers (etsy.com)
  • Back in the office: 56 emails, 14 voicemails, 2 catastrophes, 11.5 months to go 'till until the next 2 week break. To be scheduled: 1 crying jag.
  • There was not a soul in Starbucks this morning (UC classes don't start until next week) and three people assisted with my order. The fourth on staff (a beautiful tattooed Latino gentleman) who had nothing to do croon "My Guy" along with the piped-in music.
  • Tyra Banks. In the name of all that is holy: Why?
  • Further proof I should not be responsible to children: 5 & 6 year olds attempt to elope to Africa. (bbc.com)
  • Matt Smith is tapped to play the next (11th!) Doctor Who. What a completely unusual face with very white skin, wide nose bridge, no eyebrows, india ink splotch eyes. He's such an untried actor I am having trouble locating a photo for you. Don't be mistaken, it's interesting beauty and Smith has an utterly lovely neck. (also bbc.com) A sense of humor and a lovely neck can make up for more than a few shortcomings.

Starbucks: aren't the young people pretty?

Tyra Banks: she has given us America's Next Top Model. That's why.

What the WHAT?!

8,000 handknit free scarves needed for SuperBowl Volunteers. Horrors. I've just sent an unnecessary post card to these people. " You must be kidding. I'll put this in my knitting queue... right behind every premature infant, the low income families in need, the homeless (domestic and international), the chemo patients and... every child for the next twenty years in the Oakland and San Francisco Childrens' Hospitals. In a word: No. " The Indianapolis and NFL wants my labor and yarn? Gah...

Second Week, Second day

He's never, ever ever going to stop coughing. I know it. I did let him know that the kind folks who don't know him have advocated for not bludgeoning him to death with the toaster. He was grateful for your support. I need another scotch... I've been spending a lot of time at Apartment Therapy . How old is too old to not want a pirate ship bed and a chandelier to swing from? This evening I took a solo trip into The Beloved City to Lush for Mix's birthday gift, lovely girly girl stuff. The whole place smells to high heaven. Outside the shop, the scent-phobic husbands huddle wincing when the door opens, errant drifts of jasmine engulfing them. When we lived in Seattle, we'd drive north to Vancouver for the hand-cut noodles, the gelato and Lush. More than once a funny look was delivered by the Border Guard when we revealed the only purchases to be $200 worth of soap. Once I had an enormously tall beautiful olive colored Canadian clap his hands and insist that there was ...
