blog readability!

according to the blog readability test, you need to be a genius to understand my blog!

not sure how truthful this is, mostly because the code for the image had some sort of... "win a cash advance" blurb in the html. didn't seem very trustworthy.

time

how can i buy myself some more time? preferably 2 years of weekends paid holidays, please. i can easily add them on to my existing weekends. very easily.

the bad is that i'm starting to feel a little... how do you say, overwhelmed?

• schoolwork is about to get messy. i need to buckle down and just do it. only 2 semesters left.
• work is and has been messy. statistics programs are not fun. learning SQL is fun, but can be difficult for one who is not, as a general rule, logical.
• i have so many projects i want to work on!!

these are my immediate projects:

• actively tackle classwork.
• actively plan living arrangements while in europe.
• buy warm clothes and good, sturdy walking shoes.
• not let work get me stressed.
• start baby knitting projects for european trains

these are my long-term projects:

• re-design portfolio website.
• organize and work on organization system for photos.
• get rachel her wedding photos, officially.
• get meaghan her baby photos, officially.
• set up etsy store.
• work on some design projects.
• sewing.
• knitting.
• learn crochet.
• read a lot more.
• use my gocco.

untitled #503

bleak items of note:

• not getting enough sleep (who does?)
• 15 page paper due on soviet archives in 1.5 weeks
• clenching cramps as your (far too early) morning alarm

rousing items of note

• took a relaxing and jasmine-heady bath last night
• started making little white square felt snowmen ornaments
• made a prototype fabric catch-all
• have an art/craft show coming up on the 17th
• umami espresso o' the morning
• new, fancy schmancy rimless glasses
• deliciously shivery cool weather in the FIFTIES! (even if just at night)

i'm a little iffy on these catch-alls. it's cute, but i want it to be washable. not sure if that's actually feasible, of course. i washed it and it's definitely way less sturdy. does that add to the charm? maybe i'll post pics tonight.

i'll include some silly photos from halloween night; nothing crazy, just some of us girls getting together to dress wacky, pass out candy, drink mulled wine, make crass jokes and play celebrity.

you know you want to

Some places to buy:

etsy
cut + paste
poppytalk handmade

just a little hello.

i thought about doing the nablopomo thing, but i just knew i couldn't keep up. *le sigh*

tomorrow i get to finish another 5 page paper and then a 15 page one after that.

2 more semesters. i carry on.

i also saw the darjeeling limited tonight! so lovely. and a few previews for some other intriguing movies, notably the diving bell and the butterfly. the trailer featured explosions in the sky! i got teary just watching it.
