Topic: The Fungus AmungUs
Our recent blast of warm almost summer like weather is now officially over. The last two weeks of winter were unseasonably warm and sunny, until the day spring officially arrived, when it started to snow. Isn't it ironic Alanis? Like sno-oooh-ooow on the first day of spring? Like getting the meaning of a word wrong and using it as the title and theme of a song? Friday was spectacular, the high was 20C (normal is 6C) and the sun was brilliant all day. Ben and I did plenty of walking around and I feel like some of my winter weight is going away. I also planted a bunch of spring multiplier onions so in a few weeks we will be enjoying the first crop from the garden. It's also seed starting time and I have a couple trays of peat pots ready to go. I need a couple more trays and then I will have enough plants for my flower gardens.
I've been working with my beads and I remembered something important! I have to make some of those hoodies with the mushrooms! I have the tie dye fabric, I have the under fabric, all I need is the sweatshirt fleece. it's being a surprisingly difficult fabric to find. They have the fleece at Wazoodle, but they are out of the dyed to match ribbing that I need. I'll order the fleece and hope the ribbing arrives soon.
I have the pattern mostly cut, all I need to cut is the hood. can't have a hoodie without a hood. I think that when we look back on the number one fashion fad item of the 00's the one item that has transcended age, culture, gender and income level will be the hooded shirt, now and forever known as The Hoodie.
I also need to work on my denim and leather jacket. it would have been perfect for a few of the days when it was so warm. But since it wasn't done, I couldn't wear it. I need to put down the beads and pick up the sewing machine. Okay, not literally pick up the machine as it's quite heavy, but...you know what I mean! There are several things I need to complete, and one is nothing more complicated than sewing on buttons and then buttonholes.
I just had a chance to listen to the new MGMT album "congratulations" it's good. Quite different than Oracular Spectacular, but still good. It leaked a few days a go so the band streamed it on MySpace for everyone who doesn't know about torrents or binaries. Next on the list of new releases I want is "Arcade Fire" I figure this one will be the one that can't ever expect to live up to the advance hype.
And that's all that's happening in the old litterbox. Not much, just a few things. Maybe this week will be better.
