In an empty bus shelter at Vanderbilt Avenue and Plaza Street in Brooklyn, on a bench next to a crumpled paper bag with a bodega coffee cup inside, a copy of “Achieving Proficiency in Mathematics.” A look inside the front cover reveals that the book hails from P.S. 12 at 430 Howard Avenue and “Is The Property Of,” most recently, “Victor.” Victor, it’s gonna be a long school year. Love, The Book Bench.

(1 petalmeans love?) spooky things and sweet treats... [07 Oct 2008|07:56pm] owlacrobat natalie painted this pumpkin all by herself yesterday and i am smitten. i love to see her growth, in all things, and, especially, in art :) finally, the mummy jar (on the left, looking at bit more like a mummy ghost jar) and the little ghost jar i made for her. the mummy jar was fun because first she glued strips of paper (that i ripped out of a white pages book) and after that dried, she painted white. this jar has really great texture and so i put a few dotted lines to 'show' the strips, though i am not quite sure if it works or not. oh well. she came up with the face that i had to fix a bit after too much black paint. overall, she likes it, she thinks it's just scary enough. today we did food crafts and so we decided to call our play bakery, 'honey tuesdays' in honor of the main ingredient in our two recipes and today, the day we did them. we made a no bake honey yogurt cream cheese pie and she also help me mix the ingredients for honey pumpkin butter.  the pie was delicious, a small amount will do because it is rich. i think next time i will try a homemade mixed berry compote to put on top of it and also make the crust (i bought a ready made graham crust, still good though!). the pumpkin butter is good too and i am happy i made it instead of buying it at trader joe's :)

(1 petalmeans love?) While being stuck between two big vans... [07 Oct 2008|03:02pm] cabd Cycling along to work this morning, maintaining a good couple of bike lengths behind a lorry (the big boxy ones, not an artic but next thing down) in front of me with two more thumping great vehicles to the left and right stopped either side of the road (going past St. Johns colledge). So, single lane, lorry either side... Then the lorry in front of me stops, gears change, started reversing. Now, he'd almost got past the lorries parked either side, and now I can't turn left, I can't go right, I've got to hastily dismount and push the bike off the road back and around the parked vehicles. I get that he'd gone past where he wanted to stop and deliver something, but I still gave him one hell of a yelling at. Nasty thing to do in the middle of Cambridge at commuting time, where a heck of a lot of cyclists won't have the experience or the understanding to give him as much room as I was doing.

(means love?) huge world dance event in kalamazoo this weekend! [07 Oct 2008|08:28am] mistresselaura at kvcc thursday, friday, saturday and sunday!( Read more... )

(means love?) to-do list, adapted from a list i wrote on holiday [07 Oct 2008|11:47am] celebratecreate ( when i am away from home i can always think more clearly about things i need to do when i get back.  )

(means love?) [07 Oct 2008|09:29am] celebratecreate in the last month i have learnt: i am better at things than i think i am. 1. in france i went bodyboarding and assumed i wouldnt be able to do it, but i could. next time i will try surfing! 2. i thought i had forgotten all my french but actually i knew quite a bit and actually said sentences and was understood. 3. i went on a canal boat holiday and thought i wouldnt be able to steer/do manouvers/go through locks, and i actually did loads of the steering and really liked it.

(13 petalsmeans love?) [06 Oct 2008|07:30pm] appareils [ mood | content ] [ music | twenty eight days later ] I walked into the dorm last week and my roommates had covered my desk in flower barrettes and fake pearls. They stacked all my plastic babies and made them crawl and wrestle. V. cute. I love little surprises. When he left for the airport shuttle Sunday morning, Ewan left a pink tulle flower and a love letter on my desk. I didn't find it til' I woke up that morning. So so lovely. The lover boy. We had a picnic in the flower gardens and kissed among roses, daffodils, hydrangeas and statues of dancing girls. We chased the geese in front of the big fountain by the man made river, ate vegan pot pie at Eden Valley, took pictures under bridges, and saw way too many movies. We fell asleep in each other's arms and we helped Schuyler close down Café Nermann. I stole the mop from her and started dancing like I was in that one scene from Pulp Fiction. I made a strawberry roma soda. He helped me with my homework. We went to Westport and thought about Christmas gifts for our parents. We talked about politics and socialism and pathetic Sarah Palin. And we talked about communism with broken-armed Ben. We cuddled. He held me in his arms. I was sick most of the weekend but he didn't care. He didn't mind that my eyes were runny and my nose was puffy. When he left at 8 am that morning and I watched him board the shuttle for the airport& I nearly cried. He needs to move here soon. Please please please. I've been writing my novel. I use polyvore to invent characters. To hell with the fashion, it is so easy and lovely to create characters with polyvore. You can really visualize them when you know what shoes they'd wear, what scarves wind around their necks. Their favorite dresses. What decorative images really describe their aura. It is especially helpful when your two main characters are leaving town and you have to describe the backpacks full of belongings that they carry along. A green alligator suitcase covered in painted roses, two thrift store dresses from the 1970s, a pair of skinny jeans ripped down the legs, five thrift store t-shirts advertising old horror films, a plaid button up, two granny apple green tank tops and a pair of scuffed black Converse sneakers. etc. etc. I'm watching 28 Days Later and talking with the roommates + Gaby. We're brainstorming Halloween costume ideas. So far we have Daria, Jane and Quinn with Gaby not participating (I'd be Jane) OR "the party", "the party people", "the party joy" and "the party cleanup" (I'd be the cleanup, complete with ripped streamers and a fake black eye.) Next week we're going to the Los Lobos concert. Schuyler knows the band and got us tickets for free. I plan on wearing my rose dress and tango dancing. I need a few good penpals. Send me a letter and I'll write you back and send you envelopes full of glitter confetti and little drawings. If you don't send the first letter, I'll honestly forget, however. I'm hopelessly forgetful. Leave a comment if you're in for it. Dayna - Mailbox# 147 4421 Warwick Blvd Kansas City, MO 64111

(10 petalsmeans love?) scenes from a pumpkin patch... [06 Oct 2008|10:21am] owlacrobat   last night we took her to a pumpkin patch filled with slides and jumpers. the air was perfect, a nice crisp autumn. she was dressed all in black, looking like a little messy-haired audrey hepburn. the first slide she went on was a huge air-filled shark, deceptively covering how steep the slides where. the half excited, half scared scream she made and face when coming down the slide were priceless! she loved it though and still went on a second time (with same scream and expression too)! here are a few of my favorite pictures, showing her in her 'hermione' hair as my husband likes to call it when it is down and tousled. she found her little pumpkin right away and in honor of said hair style, she named it 'mione'. ♥

(2 petalsmeans love?) all ghosts welcome! [06 Oct 2008|10:13am] owlacrobat last week nat and i started on a few little projects. one of which was the ghost house we made out of a soymilk container. she had a lot of fun painting it (she even painted inside, so the ghosts to have painted walls and 'carpet'). i added a few things to it and all in all, i think we came out both, quite pleased with our effort :)   here are her ghosts that i cut out for her and she drew. there is a daddy, a momma and a baby ghost..   (she made that BTA sign and according to her, it mean be nice!)   today we are going to hopefully finish our mummy jar so stay tuned for that post too!

(means love?) [06 Oct 2008|10:01am] _xela_ Need - new - lj - layout... This one's all dark and gloomy from my gothier days. Anyone know where I can find some nice layouts?

(6 petalsmeans love?) I want to make perfume out of both. [05 Oct 2008|11:31pm] among_spirits Cilantro & Toast. I don't know how to make any scent except Tea Rose.

(12 petalsmeans love?) [05 Oct 2008|10:58pm] among_spirits ( I would advise you against reading this unless you enjoy girls who whine about their eating disorders. Personally, I would rather read a book about trout fishing or watermelon sugar. This isn't very pleasant so just keep scrolling through your Friends page. ) I have lost all control over my life. Everywhere I go I see thinner people. There are tiny little girls on the inside of eyelids when I blink. There are skinny thighs and bony elbows in my dreams. I only eat lettuce and beets. Every time I go to the refrigerator. Every time I never go to the refrigerator. I don't have a refrigerator. Last night I put it out on the curb. I have almost exhausted my supply of green tea. Every time I think about food I just want to run away and hide in a trash can. There isn't any reason to tell you any of this because it doesn't really matter. Everyone is so clever and calls each other and tells each other their secrets but no one remembers to call me or tell me. I'll just sit on my bed until the day I die. I won't go outside. I'll lose my job. The money in my bank account will dwindle. I will scrub every surface of this entire house and count every step I take on the sidewalk. There are 448 leaves in my yard. I counted them yesterday afternoon. Only 4 or 5 of them were yellow or orange. None of them were red. They were all small and in the shape of October. There are shaky fingers and sleepy heads in my future. There are sentences I will repeat constantly; I say my name over and over in my head. Cassie Swayze. Cassie Swayze. Cassie Swayze. There are only ten minutes left. There are only ten minutes left. There are only ten minutes left. Ten minutes until what? I have no idea but I've been saying this 'round the clock for almost two years. I repeat everything you say backwards in my head. Please pass the salt. Esaelp ssap eht tlas. I can do that without hesitating. I've been thinking that way for eleven years. I check Craigslist compulsively. The posts never change because I check 4 or 5 times in an hour. I search through Job listings even though I don't need a job. Afterward I look at my phone. There aren't any missed calls. I have a new text message. Look, I have a new text message. It's always from the same person. All my Received/Sent/Missed calls are from the same three people. But look, I have a new text message. No one is in love with me anymore. I mean to say that everyone is in love with me more. I mean to say that you're in love with Mary Tyler Moore. I read your private e-mails when you aren't looking. I am a terrible friend. I never call you back. I'm afraid to answer phone calls from numbers I don't recognize. I miss out on a lot. Everyone else is telling everyone else every single secret they ever had and I only have one and it isn't a secret because everyone else can see that I am fat. I hate living here. I hate being there but I want to be everywhere. I have a headache. I am on a raw foods diet. I am hungry. I am I am I yam I am a yam.

(2 petalsmeans love?) Minging [05 Oct 2008|11:01pm] cabd Officially. The weather today was minging. Not just wet, not just windy, but minging. Still... Got things done indoors. Other news, just put together a fourth 'creepy songs' CD, and looking for songs for the fifth. Also, harvested the last of the sweet corn, which is a sad thing, but ate our first one of this years winter squashes, which is a good thing.
