today i couldn’t find my phone charger. my phone was long dead, and i needed to get in touch with a friend. i decided i should go downstairs to ask grace, the lady who runs grace’s tailoring, a small business in the entrance to my building, if i could borrow her phone. too bad it’s easter, and grace wasn’t there. also too bad that i forgot my keys, and locked myself out of my building.
my mum gave me chestnuts the other day that were sprouting roots. they were so sweet, reaching out of their shells for moisture and sustenance. i was supposed to plant them, but i had no soil. i spent every day since then with a nagging feeling that i was destroying something beautiful through negligence. today i finally got the earth in which to plant the seeds, but of course the little exploratory roots had all dried up.
i took the chestnuts, and some acorns i collected and put them on a bed of paper towels inside the lid of an egg carton, and covered them with a second layer. i’ve soaked the paper in water, and left them under the kitchen sink. i am not giving up on the little, half destroyed chestnuts yet. i will let you know how it goes.
the seekers are getting closer. they don’t know it, of course, but they are getting warmer.
hello internet, did you miss me? I certainly missed you.
but i have some positive things to show for my absence. it’s not all hospital bracelets and chewed up plants, there’s plenty of good. as for example, a scene from james’s upcoming animated student film, which i helped with by colouring it. i know the grammar there is probably way wrong, but it’s been a long day. it’s good to be home.
I watched the trailer for repomen this morning. in it is featured jude law, who, if he were a readily available street drug, would have me broke and possibly incarcerated within a matter of hours. i would sell my family and friends for a dose of mister law.
i went to the movies and saw the crazies on saturday, with mauler. everything was going fine until “they” decided the main character should pick up a zippo in a store, and it would already have lighter fluid in it.
dear movie directors/producers/writers,
you LOSE when you treat your audience like they are stupid. we all do.
an example of a website that my work deems “unsafe,” and thus blocks:
toby turner as cheese.
an example of a website that my work deems as “safe,” that i can easily access at my desk:
american apparel ad campaign.
i’m not complaining. i’m just a little confused.
now i can be cool
in one hundred and forty
characters, or less.
here mum, he’s home safe. the lady found him a special, and totally unique cone. everyone at the vet loved him.
it’s true, i am frustrated. i feel that not having the use of my camera to take video is impeding my ability to post. this is, in fact, not true. it may be impeding my ability to do what i feel is justice to the subject matter about which i want to post. it may be making my job a little harder, because instead of letting the camera run i have to compose written sentences, and describe what i could just SHOW you.
but in terms of actually impeding my ability to post? lies and laziness. drive and ability are not the same thing, little girl. nothing is ever going to be perfect, and where would we be if every time something went wrong, we threw up our hands in exasperation, and refused to even try? now, get on with it.
