1. Am once again testing the ability of passers-by to not retch when they see my hideous, swollen visage. Yes, I have a cold sore. It’s just me and the Elephant Man, alone on the brink of humanity. Fuck you, herpes simplex.<\/p>\n

2. Last night, despite my horrendous unattractiveness, lovely was thoughtful enough to make me delicious, mouthwatering butter chicken with fresh sliced bread and green tea. Mmmm. We watched ‘The Mummy’ – man, , I can totally see how you’re into that action – and vegged out extremely. Later there was a very pleasant concurrent needlework and Katamari session. There may have been some foot rubbing, also. Dreamy.<\/p>\n

3. Thanks to Uli, I have sooooo many quilt books and an assortment of groovy fabrics, and my brain is going nuts thinking up new ideas for quilts. I am going to go broke from this new hobby. How did pioneering frontierswomen afford quality printed cotton, again? Oh wait, they didn’t. They used old clothes. Probably a lesson to be learned there. A lesson I will blatantly ignore by attending the Creative Sewing and Needlework Festival<\/a> at Exhibition Place this weekend and skulking around the Len’s Mill booth.<\/p>\n

4. Still waiting for Neil Gaiman to blog about his Toronto signing, hoping vainly for a mention of the pet squirrel with makeup question. Am debating scanning and posting to journal page 515 of my signed- and illustrated-by-him copy of ‘The Joy of Cooking’ (the squirrel, opossum and porcupine preparation page). <\/p>\n

Note to self: please appease Chrissy’s wrath by writing TMB.net article as promised on either quilting, Joy of Cooking, or both. Do so before NaNoWriMo hits in November, or suffer.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
