I rearrange the furniture as you sleep.
I am going to add a real entry. For the love of god, has the world come to an end!
Anyway, I always seem to do mass updates after a holiday. In this case Halloween, another "holiday" which I did not really do anything for. We can't afford to feed ourselves candy, let alone the massive amount of children that apparently live on our crack house street. So we sat with our porch light off and watched Fahrenheit 9/11. I was kind of disappointed, but I'm sure I would have liked it better sfter the outrage that came with Bush being elected again. Gah.
So I guess Becky was also here. More specifically, that same Halloween weekend. We pretty much shopped the whole time and didn't do any touristy things or go out to any good Toronto restaurants. Instead we went to Lonestar and had margaritas, coladas, and daiquiris. One notable thing that we did do however, was see I heart Huckabees. I am not afraid to say that it was the funniest movie I've ever seen in my life. I love how they have Mancala Hour. We have mancala and it sits out on my grandma's record player and every time someone new comes over I say "this is mancala, it's fun" except no one ever wants to play. It's not fun to play with Kris because in some weird way, it's math-based and I beat her every single time in the endgame. Which really isn't fun at all.
I went to Blockbusters and rented a whole bunch of cheap movies I've never heard of before. Ok. New Waterford Girl. You have to see it. Kris pointed out how it's sort of an Eastern Canadian version of Amelie, and it kind of is. It was subtly funny and I couldn't get over how everyone sounds Irish. "Can't a man make a goddamn cake around here?!" Ohhh, so funny.
Now for the picture part of my entry. I tell people that my cat wears sweaters and has two of them and no one ever believes me. Well, he does (Kris knit the first one):
Becky thought that this was so cute that she made it the picture for her desktop.
This is the scarf that I'm making. It's not done because I ran out of wool. The wool was made and hand dyed in Uruguay by women who are involved with an organiztion that brings economic stability to their communities by providing them with this program. I though it was a really good idea. I felt good for having to spend $15 on one ball that made half a scarf.
I was out barbecueing at dusk and thought it was really cool how this tree looked like it was on fire because it was lit by the streetlight. (That was random, I know).
