i: went fabric shopping. did yoga. ate coq au vin. worked on a day job. wore sandals. added some armholes. took pictures. ate lamb lollipops. drank wine. jumped on the subway. saw an improv show. drank wine. talked about babies. drank espresso. made a tailored reversible top and skirt out of the heaviest stretch fabric in history for my sister in law complete with personal fittings and a beginning course on sewing. drank more wine. ate bouillabaisse. tried to watch stephen king's the stand. went for the classic under the cherry moon instead. bailed before prince went off the deep end. crashed.
the twenty three pound cat was really exhausted. he demanded a monday moratorium on all sewing. he's far too fond of food to call a moratorium on eating. and i'm far too fond of alcohol. so, sewing it is.
I read all of that, and the thing most concerning to me: don't watch "The Stand." Don't do it. Back away. Save yourself.
ReplyDeleteGotta love cats. And wine. Having a lovely Rosé just now... :)
ReplyDeleteBig weekend. Good you kept your strength up with wine and good food.
ReplyDelete& beth: oh god, was it bad or WHAT. i perked up when ed harris appeared, but even His Hotness couldn't save it for me.
ReplyDelete& alessa: yes, my friend! to BOTH!
& don: it's the only way to weekend.
Just found your blog and this post sent me to your post about Under the Cherry Moon, which sent me... to total memory-land. I love your writing! I was in 10th grade when that movie came out... then of course not long after was the awesome sign o the times, which I just killed... I think I became Housequake. I even made up a dance to it.
ReplyDelete23 pounds?! Dang.
♺ hi amy, glad you enjoyed it! ah, prince's alter ego camille. when prince was peeved that he didn't have a top ten on the rap charts. i think sign o the times was the last great prince band, full horn section and everything...
