[photos taken by yours truly except for fireweed and family photos]



new killer fragance just out: armani code.

my am: feeling liberated, i went for an hour jog up and down macleay trail/park, coffee at fly dragon cafe and read a little out of thoreau's walden: or walk in the woods. our lives are like the life of a river. sometimes the water levels are high and sometimes they are low. we just take it as it comes. i'm hoping my river is full to the limit making for an eventful 2006!

my family...new photos to be made this year, deal?

i bought [3] black buttons for a total of $1.50 and used as pillow filler feathers from an old pillow i had. the knitted pillow looks store bought. of course, when i went to sew the buttons on, the [1] needle i own was too large to fit through the button holes. crap.

so onto my next design. i'm going to work on another pillow using a new stitch: the raspberry stitch which is good for an all over pattern. and what is a gusset - a small piece of cloth inserted in a garment, for the purpose of strengthening some part or giving it a tapering enlargement.

oaxaca september trip with jen starting point. my first year in college, i had thought about getting a degree in anthropology because my professor had the most interesting stories of her work in oaxaca, mexico. but i decided that precipitates, gel electrophoresis, mass spectroscopy, cultures, dimers and working for the center of disease control were more up my alley. the chemist turned into a hotelier. ;)

[today is a good day. the lyrics to this song are strong but this time i'm just feeling poetic, they are just words... good song]

my life is brilliant.
my love is pure.
i saw an angel.
of that i'm sure.
she smiled at me on the subway.
she was with another man.
but i won't lose no sleep on that,
'cause i've got a plan.

you're beautiful. you're beautiful.
you're beautiful, it's true.
i saw you face in a crowded place,
and i don't know what to do,
'cause i'll never be with you.

yeah, she caught my eye,
as we walked on by.
she could see from my face that i was,
******* ****,
and i don't think that i'll see her again,
but we shared a moment that will last till the end.

there must be an angel with a smile on her face,
when she thought up that i should be with you.
but it's time to face the truth,
i will never be with you.

~ what a song... what it means to me is that i can live knowing all my moments were beautiful.
