belated
at least one shamefully belated gift is now on its way
for a stylish classy lady, whose tastes I cannot afford, I painted a silk scarf
i hope she knows how much respect I have for her…
Merry Christmas Alicia!
you are Ukranian…so that buys me at least a few weeks less shame!
it’s in the mail, along with dad’s vintage Merlin

garbage
i love garbage night.
i LOVE throwing away junk.
last night i went through a box of random junk and pitched most of it.
excellent.
even more excellent, the few items I did keep!!!
1. silly putty. enough said.
2. a MIXED tape. an ACTUAL mixed tape of mine. i really didn’t think I had any of these around anymore.
what will I do with it you, ask?
not much, except smile. do an “in the old days” routine with the kiddies?
3. my Buddha Board
in case you are unfamiliar, it is a whimsical novelty that encourages you to paint with water alone
and contemplate the impermanence of the universe as you watch your masterpiece evaporate.
always a good lesson to refresh.
peace and love.

postscript!!! is this terrible or meaningful news? …the silly putty left a permanent mark on the buddha board. Hmm?
overexposed
“Overexposed 2: Enough is Enough”
final.
let’s hope 2012 brings me a new model.
i am bored with the one I’ve got.
the other two move too much.
fingers crossed.

avowal
this song came ’round yesterday. on the heARTbreak Everyone’s Mixtape mix. not sure where I have been since 2004?
thank you Martha Wainwright for finding some words for me and singing them with such heARTbreaking honesty

( I just had to! I am actually not all that heartbroken nor sad 🙂 I just really dig the music on that mix)
* important disclaimer * the sentiment of this post is NOT/NOT aimed at my parents, as some suggest Martha’s song may be to her father, nor at anyone else for that matter. also, the chorus may be a shade harsh
merry merry
my most favourite evening of the year
I will fight for merry
words here are the only way I can make this merry
peace, love, light

solstice miracle!
…one day belated,
in the middle of some impromptu t-mas crafting,
had the vision for the completion of a patient little piece
(…perhaps two! – a pair?)
waited on a dusty shelf, dusty itself
under books at times
building block number 1
finishing feels so good
…now off to finish what will be type A…
stay tuned
