better late
Sep. 13th, 2006 10:08 pmi finally got around to backdating in my handwritten stuff about siff. i still didn't write about everything i saw, (most notably missing is the preview of A Scanner Darkly) but i decided not to add in anything that wasn't in the notebook. if anyone other than me cares - here.
so that people stop looking at me blankly when i say it. and so i can study how to make one of those hats...
an artist in the medium of gummi
Aug. 24th, 2006 09:34 amjust as i stepped on the bus today, i noticed that someone had carefully arranged gummi worms in real worm positions around a crack in the sidewalk.

Feb. 17th, 2006 03:17 pmi decided to get an exercise ball to use as an office chair. there's a theory of "active sitting" (on the internet this phrase is completely connected with selling various ergonomics products, so no link) that says it's good to engage in lots of small movements throughout the day. i've been gaining weight and feeling physically lousier since i've been spending more time behind a desk, so i thought this was a good start. (i'm also back on a low-carb diet as of this week, but that's another story.)
so far...
it came with a foot pump. i got a good half hour to forty-five minutes of standing and stomping in today. i don't know how much i'm actually making micromovements now that i'm on it, but i'm totally turning my tendency to jiggle a leg into full on bouncing. i have a dual 19" CRT set on my desk facing my "window" into the hallway, so i'm sure passerby can enjoy the sight of the top of my head bobbing up and down behind my monitor fort.
it also looks like i'm sitting on a sparkly red playground ball.
and i have my door open but i'm still getting high on fumes from whatever substance they make these things from.

Nov. 9th, 2003 09:03 pmi'm tucked in a corner of the couch because i accidentally destroyed the long phone cord in the living room. (dialup, no wireless. the fact that there's a laptop in the house is pretty amazing)
earlier this week i was online and the phone rings in the middle of a download. so somehow the connection broke and i'm thinking it's important, so i pull the cord and get up and get on the phone. it's a freaking telemarketer, and suddenly the connection goes bad. i get off the phone and discover that the end of the phone cord has fallen into the tomato sauce of my tortilla pizza and is smoking and sizzling. so now the former 20ft cord is only 2ft. i'm on the laptop to be snuggly on the couch with C, but in order to connect i have to face the wall. perhaps i should switch machines.
i uploaded two new user pics, and made some for C's Warmachine list. a wet kiss to anyone who knows where the new ones came from ;)

went to the market today. we go every week and get produce from the same stand. i love them. today they gave me half of a new crop orange. i never realized that they're sprayed with dye to make them bright orange; they're ready to eat even when they look green on the outside. these were mild without a trace of tartness. i wouldn't have them always, but i love oranges, and i've been thinking about them alot since the play. the ones on stage were startlingly orange...i know it was a combination of the filter on them and placing them on a turquoise table, but knowing why it works doesn't stop it from working.
C read me a transcript of our conversation about nazis running over jewish puppies. i wish i could remember just why we conjured up the image - i think it was to find something so horrible it was ludicrous. they're circumsized...they're wearing yarmulkes...yippulkes...they're yippish
we bought a $5 bouquet. tough to find one without stinky lilies this time of year, but we found one based on dahlias!
