Finally, the weekend.

The best thing about the weekend is watching Pseudo-Apocalyptic-Doomsday Scenario shows on the History channel. Fascinating. As if the media doesn't scare the general public enough with obesity and germs, NOW we have to think about the possibility that ONE DAY there will be a huge earthquake on the west coast that will cause a volcano to erupt and a tsunami to hit the northern california seashore.

I recently acquired Adobe CS2 for my computer and its like Christmas came two months early. Three months? There are a zillion things I plan to design now that I have the software. At the moment, Im finishing up my business card.


Now its onto a website. I love design.

I started knitting a new scarf, because I made too many mistakes on the blue one. It's also a lace scarf, but its gray. I have a problem of stopping halfway through, which I need to work on. Oh well.

we're half awake in a fake empire

There is something about walking through the forest that grounds and inspires me. It might also be listening to Fela Kuti, who tends to have a nice humbling effect. Anyway I got millions of ideas, and I have started a wish list as such:

-pinhole camera
-darkroom
-120 film for my holga and TLR
-more yarn.

I was thinking of making a cheap version of a darkroom in the laundry area. Its dark and spooky enough, though im not so sure about the idea of chemicals stored right by the water heater. ill have to check on that. In the meantime I can make a few pinhole cameras. I'll probably use a can this time - it seems a little more durable than a box - especially if i'm taking it out in the woods.

I wish it was a little foggier here, or cloudier - this morning was pretty dark and I'm mad I didn't have my camera with me. The tree canopy tends to make the trail even darker which provides a really haunting quality. I'd love to go out and take pictures in the middle of a thunderstorm. Might wait on that.


In terms of knitting, I'm in the midst of making my lace scarf. I started getting too sure of myself and of course, began knitting too fast....and of course....screwed up. Hopefully I can hide my mistakes - after all its my first attempt at lace knitting - to the untrained eye.


You can see the leaf pattern, right?!?
I found the pattern from Knitty.com from Fall 2005, I think. It's pretty easy, just a matter of paying attention (!).
