wow... potos!






here we have.

gratuitously cute lizard images.

the sea silk shawl.


the W I P'ing cashmere shawl, with happycolourmart. my colourmart silk has been dispatched, and i am pretending i am going to recieve it tomorrow. realistically, i know it will be a little longer than that.

but, i intend knitting that shawl until i run out of yarn. as other colourmart junkies know, this will be one long mo-fo of a shawl.


after the interweave article on japanese knitting, i am feeling urges to go look for japanese knitting pattterns. this will match my attempts to teach self japanese. this will be such a slowwww process. unlike the knitting, which is slow, but in a different way.

weird 'thing' last night. like, exactly the same as the "anxiety" attacks/frontal lobe epilepsy (results not conclusive) that i had last year. only there was NO anxiety. i know what an anxiety attack feels like, and i know what happened yesturday was NOT one. you don't become light sensitive in an anxiety attack, you don't get hot and cold, and the palpatations don't last for hours. however, i know they are not life-destroying, and i don't want to go on medication for it. not really too sure what to do. i listened to 'low' which was soothing.

and, i am going to order the NEW under byen cd. this is exciting for me. not for anyone else though, as i doubt many people know what they sound like. you should. go listen to them... they are incredible.

new orthotics today. this is stupidly exciting.

my branching out is making me very, very happy.

and my wonderful, amazing secret pal sent me this exquisite soft grey yarn with bits of feather through it... .i am imagining this yarn in arm warmers and a matching hat. which would either look insane, or really cute, like a bunny. *fingers crossed for cute like a bunny*...

i am so over work at the moment i needed to take one ball of the beautiful grey yarn, my wonderful mohair, and my mohair scarf in process with me. i am reverting to childhood through my desire to carry around random things with me for comfort.

not long until there are heaps of jobs comming up at the art gallery. Real Job. Grown Up and Adult Job. not stupid, i finished a useless degree and cannot get a real job Job.

mother has given me a complex.

that, and i a BORED OUT OF MY MIND WITH RETAIL. maybe i do need a job where i have to think.

c'mon. someone has to know what i want to be when i grow up... well... when i grow up a little more... well... now. *sighs* i am useless.

on the upside, the chocolate sent by my sp was incredible.

and i might be going to see brokeback mountain tonight... i have left over free tickets. but, i have to start work at 9.30 tomorrow morning, so i want an early night, because we are on SALE tomorrow. poooohs to sale.

work smells like mushrooms and garlic. this smells good for the first half hour. after three, the smell makes you want to die. there was also a rotten egg in the back room this morning. *pukeface*

*mentally pats mohair*
ok. all better.
