yes

Philadelphia is smoke free! I’m going to Corning this weekend. I’m planning on knitting / crocheting a ton while I’m there, and of course I won’t get done what I want to get done. Just like on every break. I think I’ll be taking my uncle to see Little Miss Sunshine. I’ve heard good things. […]

Vogue 1944 design

I picked out this pattern for Halloween: The floral one reminds me of a dress Madonna wears in Evita during “Eva and Magaldi”, except Eva’s has a pink background. The green one is really something any 40s actress could have worn to a premiere or something. I have to look for fabric still.

G. Love

Went to see G. Love and Special Sauce in Ortley Beach on Friday. It was a really great show. Afterwards we met G. Love and Jimi Jazz. Jimi was in love with Julia (asked her to have his babies) so he came with us to eat tacos (where he forgot his wallet and we had […]

yeah

I don’t know if I mentioned this before but when I was at Six Flags a couple weeks ago, Foghorn Leghorn grabbed my ass and told me to call him. It was kind of traumatic.
