the first nine months

i'm moving at work today. nine months of accumulated junk up two flights of stairs. should be riveting. it almost feels like i'm in college again, except they allow open beverage containers in college.
i think the first 6 months in a new place are the hardest. then i slowly start to find my city- (or in this case burg-) groove.
saw bon voyage last night. it was wonderful. i really enjoyed the movie. it was witty and earnest as well as laughable and intense. i highly recommend it.

button, button

i'm looking for buttons. 4-hole, multiples in the same size, color can be variable.
found inspiration for a gorgeous coin purse when i saw the button cuff posted on www.craftster.org.
save me your fasteners, your snaps, your glossy buttons yearning to burst free.
let me know if you find any button steals nearby.

the dark side

the dark side of the blog phenomenon is the unnecessary proliferation of the (boring) blog just so that said boring blogger can comment on the blogs of her friends. this is one such blog.
of course, posting just might give me something to do afternoons at the quietest library on earth. but that won't make it any more interesting.
