Desmond owns a barrow in the market place...

on the way home i saw a rainbow and it made me happy. i was enjoying the weather in general. the sun was shinning behind me, low on the horizon, lighting these low wispy clouds in front of me. the wind was driving them, all white and gold, on the face of these towering dark charcoal clouds behind them. then i turned up cambie and saw the rainbow and i just felt really happy. thankful, i don't know why. it felt like a blessing.

today i rejected my usual shabby for a more spruced up appearance. felt like a tiny change. sometimes i just get tired of the shab, you know? sometimes you want spruce. however most of the time i'm quite content to live the shabby life. can't escape it really. my lot in life. anyways bla bla blabbity bla.

sarah-lynn elizabeth straightened my hair when i got home from laundry today. i must say it's the straightest i've ever seen it. and not poofy-frizzmatic either. meanwhile aiya was making us marbu dofu, or as i like to call it, and kyle will back me up on this one: marble tofu. marble tofu makes ravenous tummies satisfied. that's all i need to say about this.

lately i've been very frustrated with my current knitting project. it's too hard! i'm not one to give up, but i've tried over and over and over and over and i keep getting something wrong. i then have to take it all out and start over. i've started over countless times and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! how come i can't do things? i need to. i need to do it, but i'm so clumsy and awkward fingered and dull brained at times. this current project of frustration involves a technique i've never done before. double pointed needles. and mentioning double pointed needles is not an invitation for all you non-knitters to nod off or start skimming. that would be rude. double pointed needles is knitting your pattern on three different needles at once all pulled into a tight triangle, there is a fourth needle as well. yes, four needles involved, and it's never tight enough on the corners where the needles cross and this is the main reason for repeat redoing. but no matter what i do, it never seems to be enough. woe woe is me.

apprentice. good choice donald. stunning, but it makes sense. it is ok i call you donald isn't it? or should i call you don?

don't want to go to bed. something feels unfinished, unfulfilled. something is left wanting. but it isn't for want of mandarin oranges. i have those in abundance. karey randy and i were sitting on the couch each with our respective mandarins. i peeled mine in the shape of an elephant, as is my habbit and looked over at randy. he too shaped his peel in the shape of an elephant head. unfortunately his elephant had some sort of degenerative ear disease. he rolled up his peel into a hollow ball and put it on my lap and then giggled like a school boy. my orange was very sweet.
