all my blog posts

are just photographs and clothing sketches and mundane things that happen in my life and the occasional mention of how in love i am with spencer krug.

i was reading the blog of a friend of mine and thinking about how her posts always have some sort of introspect into herself or people or the world in general. mine are just awkward short phrases that i probably just post to make myself seem interesting to the people who find this blog, most of whom are probably people from a knitting website who click on my profile once or twice. i've never really told anyone that i have a blog.

maybe i'll try to make more interesting posts, not just show off how i secretly think i'm cool enough for people to think i'm cool. or are short impersonal sentences just how i am? i dunno.

but i like taking photos and sketching clothes and i'll mention again how much i love spencer krug. seriously. i drift in and out of obsession with this man and currently i'm in full-on love mode. at the wolf parade show, i'm going to have to arrive hours early and position myself to the far-left side of the stage because i've watched enough youtube videos to know that's where spencer is. he's just so...intense. his voice is just so emotional and peculiar. "the mending of the gown" may be one of the best songs ever. and you may remember my fondness for men with facial moles.

i'm trying to come up with a better word for that. mole sounds like the bumpy protruding kind. freckle is more of a small all-over thing. beauty mark is the most appropriate for the way i feel about them but sounds like something drawn on with eyeliner.

in other news, i've received my application package for the national theatre school. it seems more set-based than costume, which worries me. i have to actually build a scale model of my set design and mail it to montreal. i don't even know how that is supposed to happen. i obviously don't expect to be accepted, but now that i've paid the application fee i might as well follow through, even if i don't really have the time. a friend suggested i make spring awakening set in the future. futuristic dystopian germany.

also, i ordered a lens adapter for my camera. it will allow me to use my lens from my old pentax which i loved dearly but put aside for a camera with a working light meter. the new camera has a zoom lens, which is fairly convenient, but i've missed my f1.4. a lot. both because of my love of a shallow depth of field and because of my shaky hands that appreciate the fastest shutter speed possible.

buying things online is a thing i really shouldn't get in the habit of doing. but glasses and a lens adapter for $25? cannot resist. let's hope they actually arrive.
