hello there.

i am such a useless lump. i don't know what it is i do with myself that manages to take up entire days.

well, i've been doing some things.

i re-did a chair that was previously covered in a horribly falling-apart black and tan stripe. the tan looked like it was supposed to be white but was really dirty. not a good look. also it was a jersey fabric. which was waaaay too saggy to use for a chair covering. while picking the fabric i told myself not to use another knit but i did. wool sweaters have a bit more elasticity, though.

also i've been cross-stitching. does it look like i did much to it since last time. did i? no. but what i did took a long time anyway. cross stitch = most time consuming thing ever.

i've also taken apart two sweaters, one t-shirt, four scarves, and a pair of gloves.

for those of you who have ever wondered "i wonder what kelly's room at home looks like?" (i wonder this about people, i don't know if that is something other people do) here is the answer.

it's REALLY ORANGE. and the floors are this hideous pink colour that was there when we ripped up the carpet. my mom always promised to paint it but i could never bother to get all my stuff out so that could happen. speaking of floor, can you see floor? yes? that means my room is tidy. my room in my apartment will not look like this. this room is six or seven years of hoarding useless brightly-coloured junk and clothes and toys and pictures of things that i used to like and am now embarrassed of.

(dig my MS Paint photo collage assembly skills)

i ordered one of these the other day even though i don't have a record player. it was an OMG THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SOLD OUT impulse. when i bought it i was just thinking how it would be a good thing to own because it's limited edition and all and david horvitz is a cool guy and sunset rubdown is my favourite. but now i really want a record player. i'm not really the music nerd type so i never really considered it, but it was bound to happen sooner or later with my love for most things old-fashioned. and since i pretty much just listen to the same albums over and over again, building up a collection would not be so costly. i just need sunset rubdown. and maybe the soundtrack to cabaret. that would be cool. some flapper jazz. and maybe lady gaga. i wonder how many people buy lady gaga on vinyl.

dreams are fun.
