so, i got this today:
a friend of a friend is moving and getting rid of some stuff.. so i inherited this 1940's singer electric sewing machine.
it looks to be in good shape! i don't have any fabric to test it out on, but i have a feeling i'll be sewing up a storm this winter. i need to get a little table to set it on.
i just ordered this bag. i have its older sister version, which i bought for nyc, but it's kinda too big for just walking around this town. the fullest my current bag gets is when i'm going to work.. but for weekends and nighttimes, it seems silly.
now here's something i need to try. it looks pretty cool.

two ladies were sitting in their cars applying makeup in the parking lot at work this a.m. is this a weird morning time-saver? i don't know. i don't wear makeup.
the grilled cheese at hubbard ave always tear up the roof of my mouth; yet i insist on getting it each and every time we go.
so, having gotten recently into podcasts, something really cool about them (aside from their meaning and use) is that if you start listen to one on your ipod and then switch to a song elsewhere, and then go back to your podcast, it'll remember where you had left off!1
the reunion went swimmingly. it was nice to see everyone, though a little strange, as it has been 10 years. lots of people kept in touch; i was surprised about that. i think i forgot to leave my email address in the "guest book".. oh well.
i'll be at my 10 year reunion in about 9 hours or so.. i'm still ambivalent about the time i'll have. something tells me that it won't be too exciting. either way, i can't stay very long; joe's band is playing at mickey's at 10ish tonight, and i want to get a good seat.
kurt's shuffle left the fedex warehouse this morning from cali. so it should get here monday or tuesday. apple's really fast when it comes to shipping.
i haven't been knitting at all this whole week. it's too hot to enjoy yarn running across fingers, especially wool.
we just bought kurt a 1g shuffle last night. it should get here by monday. he will use it for bikerides and democracy now podcasts. i just have to figure out how to set up itunes to be smart without having two logins to windows.
i guess i was on channel 27 news this a.m. re: the smoking ban and its affect on mickey's business. i just so happened to be outside smoking while the dude was filming kittycorner from the tavern.
i saw this on the make blog.. it's an automatic stitch counter! we make money not art: Smart needles for distracted knitters
straight from subversive cross stitch. i still have to iron it and find a suitable frame.
i've only been reading this guy for a month or so, but he's a great writer. he's a waiter at some fancy restaurant somewhere (ny?). this most recent entry is advice from his pov. on the last transaction of the meal (or the book of the meal, as kurt calls it), paying the bill.
Waiter Rant
i've had to eat al desko two days in a row now.
i can't even /think/, i'm so tired right now. but i have my yogurt. and my 3pm apple.
i was so busy packing my lunch that i forgot my 9am yogurt.
i just bought seven tom robbins books from www.abebooks.com
my blog software or server is being lame, so i just want to post this to see if it works.

EXTENDED BODY:
i've been extra-super busy at work, and nothing really exciting has gone on outside of work, otherwise i'd be rapping with you more often.
you may or may not have noticed that some old high-school friends have been here and left their mark. i was surprised to hear from them.
i'm going to the "reunion". i pulled out my last yearbook a couple nights ago. i didn't have an overwhelming desire to see many of those faces again.. and the ones that i might want to see probably won't show. so.. back to work!
i've been working on more bittens to sell at a friends' shop when it gets colder out.
here are my cuties sleeping.
