msfledermausYou know what?
I hate that freakin' blimp. It's still floating around the park on occasion, courtesy of Fox News. Hate it, hate it, hate it.
I have free popcorn, and youuuuuu don't.
I had a really great weekend...and now I need to clean the Maushaus. yes, again. I need to invent a self-cleaning apartment; I would make millions, oh yes I would.
I may or may not have some friends over for tea tonight:)
I have half a spindle worth of alpaca homespun. Proud? Mayyyyyybe...
I say "You know" way too much lately. I blame ummm.....society? Yeah, society's to blame!!
so there you are...

Me, I'm a bit rusty and creaky. My knees are going, my hairs falling out before it turns white! dammit, and the optician says my eyes are like a tyre with a slow puncture. (do you think I should get a new optician?)
How's you - looks like you're having fun with wool?

I'm well--I have gotten this horrible, horrible addiction to wool a couple of years ago, and do the occasional custom knitware thing for people.
(It makes sense--it still gets amazingly cold here in the Midwest.) I have a new job at a different museum, which pays better and has a decent union attached to it. My friends have cats and chickens and whatnot, so I get to pet them and hunt for eggs.(Chickens!!! In the city!!!) My life is full of weirdness, but it's mostly really really good weirdness, so I feel damn lucky, considering...
I can relate to the rusty-creaky, though...I wear glasses now most of the time now. *sigh* Perhaps if we both poke your optician over and over he'll give you a better prescription...I'm willing to try it if you are! As for hair, hmmm...maybe we can keep all your hairs and and I can spin and knit them into some kind of hat? No reason why you shouldn't have a warm head, mister...
It's so good to see you on my friend's page again, you!!!
Re: hiyaku
Date: 2005-11-01 11:38 pm (UTC)Merino wool is very good (hmmmmm), Angora is impossibly good and it comes off rabbits so it probably shouldn't be called wool at all - Leporidae softness, maybe? And they grow it in the Orkneys :)
http://www.orkneyangora.co.uk/ (the most unashamedly '80's style catalogue website in the world)
So you have a new job at a "different" museum eh? Like a "secret" museum that you can't mention, huh? A museum that ignores your myopia and poor knitting skills for reasons OF NATIONAL SECURITY maybe?
The chickens are just a front obviously, oldest trick in the book - but I will see through your evil plans (if I can find my glasses [crunch] - damn,)
Re: hiyaku
Date: 2005-11-03 08:26 pm (UTC)Alpaca is good as well; we have a lot of local farms that have them, so the wool is easy to get...and you can feed them dandelions:D Kind of like the chickens!! See? See the chickens?!?!? *waves small chicken around in front of your blurry eyes*
I see it's not working, the distraction...
*puts chicken away*
Sorry about your glasses...hey, chicken, stop wearing those broken glasses! Shoo shoo shoo!!!
Oh WELL, then, the seeeeecret museum is the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the proper older sister of the other place. We have all sorts of beautiful historical artifacts, including (you'd like this) a 20,000 year old Venus figure from France. She is tiny and delicate and so beautiful...
Anyway, go ahead and check their website for the loveliness...I think I might still be in their database for the 2000 Foot in the Door show with an art piece and everything:)
and hey you, I'll have you know I have mad knitting skills...MAD! I'm up to socks and everything! someday I will knit a whole Apartment cosy!!! I will! I'm halfway there as it is!!! Ahahaha!!!
Re: hiyaku
Date: 2005-11-04 12:18 am (UTC)Is this the Venus you're talking about. It's very sweet, lovely belly, looks like it was meant to be held.
Angora's are *huge* - like small sheep without legs (ok, very small sheep, but damn big for rabbits).
Yay! The Temple of Lost Answers - what's in it? Can't see from the photo (and if you say "lost answers" I will hit you with a wet haddock, you bet I will).
Re: hiyaku
Date: 2005-11-07 03:18 pm (UTC)Yes, that's her!!!! That's a little bigger than life-size, that picture--I bet they made it a little bigger so you can see the details. It's the oldest piece in the collection, and I'm always so pleased to see her:)
I hear Angoras make a decent pet--or at least a very soft footstool. heh. Bunny!!! Large fuzzy Bunny!!! Right now I'm not home enough to take care of a large fuzzy bunny...*siiigh* someday, I swear, I will get a rabbit-flock.
Heh...you ARE gonna smack me. The Temple of Lost Answers is full of...*wince* lost answers. Lots of little answers to every question I could think of, banal and profound, cut into little cookie-fortunes and spilling out of a large seashell in the middle of the structure. Every question you never got an answer for was in that shell, and glued onto the floor and ceiling of the Temple. I should do a more sophisticated version since the old one is in my broom closet with bits of grout falling off:)
...I see you have a Haddock in your hands, sir...Uhhhh...chicken! Chicken chicken!
*waves small tame black chicken with feathery legs*
Re: returns haddock to a passive position
Date: 2005-11-07 08:32 pm (UTC)No worry's on the Christo front, he's got much bigger, dumbass, plans afoot:
Over the River
I'm so pleased you said she is smaller - that just convinces me that she was designed to be held, for comfort.
