these days of leiderhosen

Japanese masking tape has taken over. Frighteningly pretty stuff. I love my new kitchen. Today's dinner: tomato sammiches (orange and yellow with some striped green zebras), coleslaw and corn on the cob (Thanks, Ma!) BART employees may go on strike tomorrow. Why? Because the ticket booth people want 100k a year. They don't dispense tickets and are, with a few exceptions, almost always rude beyond belief to everyone. BART drivers make 100k, but they actually make the damn trains go. (Contrary to popular belief they are manually operated 98% of the time.) Woodstock? Really couldn't care less. Burning Man? Even more so. I have named the stray Mooch. She wants to come in. Shred will not allow it. It may be time to call the Feral Cat Society and get Miss Mooch fixed. Such a sweetheart. Who would abandon such a sweet cat.

Next on the booklist for Amazon.uk: Up West , by Pip Granger (Post-War Soho, London) Mom is coming up to stay the night tonight; she may get to meet the Knitting Group!

Check out the live feed here . The recap can be found here .

I am total Font Whore. Here. Share the Joy. Or this site that provides prop document s. How cool is that?! (1923 Ukrainian passport anyone?) Honestly. This is how I spend my Monday Mornings: looking up the crafty crap ? If you own an iPhone, you need one of these aircurve amplifiers made my Griffin Technologies. Then throw away your alarm clock. Thinking about NYC, specifically my favorite quiet places . I have to attempt to make my own tonic water . Finished pink monkey socks this weekend!

In case you had forgotten about the source of the Julie/Julia Project, here is Julia Powell's original blog . I liked the book, but the original blog was some really delightful writing. The blog entry Powell wrote the day after Child passed on still gets to me. On Sunday, Jessica and our fierce knitting tribe are headed out for a game of minigolf, some trashy family restaurant food (where we will try to not talk too loudly about our private parts or how to properly wash one's unmentionable) and then we go see The Movie .
