Stitch & Bitch at Artomatic [19 May 2008|11:38am]

washingtondc

[tracytracy]
Wed May 21 - 5:00pm-9:00pm

Local knitters & crocheters & spinners (drop spindle and wheels) are meeting in the 11th floor lounge for the first Artomatic Stitch and Bitch.

Join us for a few hours of knitting and friendly conversation. All are welcome, whether you're a serious sock knitter or you want a shoulder to cry on because you can't figure out the cast-on for the Kaylee socks. Spend an evening hanging out with other people who have an unfinished sweater (or two or three) hanging out on the needles that they really are going to finish someday.

If you're planning to bring a spinning wheel, please rsvp and let us know what kind of chair you need, etc. Please bring spinning wheels in through the loading dock and bring them up the freight elevator. This is very easy and volunteers will be available to direct you.

All fiber addicts are welcome and light refreshments will be available.

A loud buzzing filled my head, similar, I think, to the sound you hear just when you're dying. I put my habd on top of his and looked into his eyes. "Let me tell you what: Forget it. Get back to your babes. I'll just break your heart."

I spent a good chunk of my weekend pulling Romex from my basement to the kitchen. Under-cabinet lighting is *this* close.

Did you know there is a secret farm underneath Minneapolis where the government grows cattle for meat production? UE folks, go get me some pictures.

I bought a grill a while back. Like months. Two weeks ago I bought charcoal, put the grill together and lit it up. Yummy burgers and grilled zucchini. Then I did it again the next week. Same awesome, but with bell peppers instead of zucchini. So I went for a third. Fucked up the burgers. Go me!

This weekend I'm leaving town. With my camera. Damn right! I'm actually going to take pictures! Yay! I'm really excited. I haven't been out shooting in forever.

Camera Store Recommendation? [19 May 2008|10:12am]

[fancymcpants]
Hey everyone,

I'm looking for recommendations for a place to get some film developed. Nothing fancy, just 35mm, color film, but I'd rather not go to CVS, or somewhere like that. I live in the Glover Park/Georgetown area, so somewhere around there would be great, but I'd be willing to travel anywhere in the Metro area.

Thanks for your help!

just an idea...but a good one [19 May 2008|09:54am]

vintagephoto

[sensen]
starting tomorrow we’re going to try to implement a new rule – limiting amount of posts by one single user (pretty much on voluntary basis)
actually for now it is more of a request, than a rule
community grew to over 6000 members and shear size of it dictates some kind of balance.
i propose no more than 3 posts to a person.
you can make it multiple-picture posts, with bulk of your images under cut, of course
since each poster has his/her own taste, community will not be overwhelmed with homogenous materials, creating more diversity for the eye and mind.

ps. i also will want to see NO more than one picture above cut
not 3 not 2 just one

weekend [19 May 2008|09:28am]

[ mood | 239 ]
[ music | Fiona Apple - "Slow Like Honey" ]

Pretty good weekend. Re-painted a peeling wall in the living room. Caught up on the current season of Doctor Who (man, when did Felicity Kendall get so old?). I skipped my pilates for a few days and felt a total mood and energy crash as a result. Felt much better once I started up again. Tried to take a walk in Fairmount Park, but there were some humongous regatta going on. Crowds of people and stands selling carnival food are not conducive to my healthy strolling. Plus, one of my feet is now deciding to hurt. Grrrr....

On sunday, we did Dim Sum with a bunch of friends at Dim Sum Garden, which has the worst location in all of Chinatown, stuck under this stinky overpass, right next to where all the Chinatown buses pick people up. Their food however was awesome. Their homemade noodles may have been the best I've ever eaten. We got them with pork, with duck, with seafood, with chicken. Basically, it was bring us noodles and keep them coming. But the best part was the soup dumplings. This was a new thing to all of us (but the reason it was chosen). These babies are dumplings with soup INSIDE. They're incredible. Not only do you get the crazy sensation of biting into a dumpling full of hot soup, but they have so much flavor.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Last weekend I did that thing where you plant seeds in egg cartons and I'm thoroughly amazed that it's actually working. They're growing so fast that I have to check them a couple times a day (PIC).

"We are all mad here..." [19 May 2008|09:07am]

[mermaiden]
Hello, m'dears~ I thought this was appropriate for this community~ :)

Ten pendants were created out of the nonsense and magic that Alice in Wonderland brings... will you follow down the rabbit hole?

The mission of Glamourkin is simple: to bring enchantment to the mundane. It is built around the idea of the "glamourbomb," something that steps out of the bounds of the magical into the real world, thus bringing unexpected wonder and delight to all who experience it. Glamourkins are small, sweet pendants steeped in a message of whimsy, inspired by the fae.

Each pendant is unique, crowned with a crystal and blessed with good intentions for the one who is destined to wear it~

From here comes the goLd
From here comes the coLd
From BeLow her hair
From the bottom of her sOuL

A BAshfuL and scared flower
hidden Under her hair
Lays green calyxes on the altar
She doesn't speak her Name
Because everything fades away
The fLower, the altar, the hair
and the goLd keEps breaking
and the goLd keEps breaking

And her hair keEps growinG

How It Will Happen, When by Dorianne Laux [19 May 2008|03:45pm]

theysaid

[blissery]
There you are, exhausted from another night of crying,
curled up on the couch, the floor, at the foot of the bed,
anywhere you fall you fall down crying, half amazed
at what the body is capable of, not believing you can cry
anymore. And there they are: his socks, his shirt, your
underwear, and your winter gloves, all in a loose pile
next to the bathroom door, and you fall down again.
Someday, years from now, things will be different:
the house clean for once, everything in its place, windows
shining, sun coming in easily now, skimming across
the thin glaze of wax on the wood floor. You’ll be peeling
an orange or watching a bird leap from the edge of the rooftop
next door, noticing how, for instance, her body is trapped
in the air, only a moment before gathering the will to fly 
into the ruff at her wings, and then doing it: flying.
You’ll be reading, and for a moment you’ll see a word
you don’t recognize, a simple word like cup or gate or wisp
and you’ll ponder like a child discovering language.
Cup, you’ll say over and over until it begins to make sense,
and that’s when you’ll say it, for the first time, out loud: He’s dead.
He’s not coming back, and it will be the first time you believe it.

take up thy stethoscope and walk [19 May 2008|10:36am]

floppyriter
В субботу накрылся мой преданный плеер, и я малость угорел от болтливости прохожих, вторгающихся в моё личное аудиопространство. Не то, чтоб до этого всегда и всюду ходил не снимая наушников, но зато теперь объяснима моя шпионская привычка задним ухом мониторить окружающую звукосреду во время прогулок с друзьями. Даже при самой оживлённой беседе, каюсь, запросто могу перебить собеседника вопросом "Слышал, что только что сказал вон тот дядька?" Делаю это потому, что с собеседником на пару легко можно вышучивать речевой белый шум. В одиночном же поединке с реальностью не мне предназначенные слова, попадая в голые уши, вязнут в мозгах -- в субботу это были "декаданс" (женщина со слабоалкоголкой посреди вечерней улицы) и "мудры" ("Я знаю десять мудр" -- сказала одна альтернативная девушка другой и тут же продемонстрировала).
Но настоящая, наркоманским слэнгом выражаясь, измена случилась в парке, когда неведомая птица отчётливо пропела тему, которую я затеял было лепить в середине февраля, но быстро отложил до времён, когда прекратятся скитания по чужим квартирам. Откуда пролётная птаха знает эту спотыкающуюся песенку -- тайна, покрытая мраком.
P.S. На моей планете, похоже, дышат ушами -- по крайней мере, за последние полтора года беспрерывного ношения баллончика с музыкой дышалось легче, чем в предыдущие годы, когда дисковый плеер таскал нерегулярно (из-за громоздкости).

Arm Detail


I've been doing three things lately that are helping waaaaay more than firing up photoshop. 1) Drawing still life 2) using my sketchbook and actually holding my pencil proper 3) studying anatomy. I have been relying on photoshop's unlimited undo and advanced layering capabilities too often. I got all pussified, but I'm undoing the damage pretty efficiently. I have to scan my sketchbook stuff for my Atelier portfolio, so I'll post that sometime in the near future.

Back to the grind.
