Minutiae

Crafty Well I have just about sold out of most of my stock and have started re-stocking but those photos won't be uploaded until this weekend along with work by other artist. Busy weekend ahead. As for crafty, I have a few ideas but NO TIME! I wish I could quit my day job but the insurance is a pretty good perk, so is the pension plan. I have been quite busy with paperwork (car wreck 11/28) and insurance companies, settlements etc.....Then I am getting married in April, just around the corner. I'll be moving just before I get married, UGH! Collecting boxes at the moment and will start boxing soon which means some of my tools will be boxed up as well. I'll be taking a sabatical (short one) from my site I'll say from April-June. During that time, other artist will be posting their stuff.

On Fashion Lucky magazine this month listed a few ensembles I've been talking about and wishing would become more available: cigarette pants and cute 60's tops with flats. I have been wearing more striped tees (think four year old boy looking ones) to cover my chest from the sun. I don't want a camisole tan before my wedding since I'll be wearing a strapless dress. The sun doesn't seem to have moved far from the earth from my location. Yes I know it's winter, somewheres else it's winter, not down here, Bubb.

Music It's been schizo: Bowie and Webb Pierce only. I play Life on Mars over and over and over, Starman too, okay everything he did, I can never tire of LOM or Starman. Webb Pierce and Bowie keep me euphoric for right now.

Thrift and Vintage Well, I did find a cute, 100% wool, grey , pleated skirt in excellent shape for $2. It is the perfect length and shade of grey. Also scored a vintage Pendelton robe in excellent shape for under $15! Man, it is perfect as can be and like wearing a snuggly throw or blanket everywhere I go. It isn't scrtachy and it's a cranberry and blue plaid and tres cool for mornings in a wood frame house.

So that's it. Last night I went on a long drive after 12am. Drove down Burnet 25 mph and sometimes it turned into Tropicana Rd and Paradise Rd in Vegas,
other times it was just like Ave F in Del Rio, other times it was the same old Austin and other times Route 66.

The street gets weird when it's empty and just the neon is out. I turned on the radio and Roger Miller was singing about the little green apples. I happened to flip it on just as it started. That was a perfect moment and I won't find it again the right soundtrack with the right visuals and the right thoughts and that was just the trip I needed.

An INFJ's Minutiae

According to the Keirsey Temperment Test I scored for type INFJ. If you want a general overview of who and how I am, pros and cons just go here. Although this info varies slightly, it is pretty close as well. It makes a lot of sense and explains a lot to me.
I suggest this book: Please Understand Me II
If you just have to know what you, your friends, lovers and enemies are.
I tried to procure a copy at two different Half Price locations but was unsuccessful. I did run into two sisters who were also INFJs and looking for the same book. One of those things.

In other news:
It has been six months that I have my kitty, Mona Big Eyes.

She is still pretty small in size (compared to her brother who is full size and full grown). She is 10 months old already.

She is the best cat I have ever met. Highly sociable, agreeable, talks a lot, many vocalizations, highly alert and intelligent and just plain full of cuteness and personality. She is a social butterfly and can hold still without a hassle when I clip her claws and she is able to enjoy car rides. She loves live guitar and to be sung too and will just do all sorts of rolls and sumersaults to music. However in the car she doesn't like Dylan, not at all. His voice will send her into incessant screech meowing. Can't all be perfect. Tres cool to have her and glad she walked into my apt that night.

2006

Who would of though that Indianapolis Colts owner, Jim Irsay, would have been interested in the Kerouac scroll? I have been looking forward to the scroll tour to hit my town. Back in 2002 it was set to arrive at the HRC in 2005 but has been pushed back to 2008! Geeeeeez Grrrrrrr I thought 3 years was long. UGH!
Note to C.B. please go see it more than once 4me. I feel I could just loook at it forever and over and over.

I got a Rusty Warren record for Christmas. That's right-Knockers Up! LOVE her!

I've been on a crochet hiatus due to weather. It's January and in the 80s! UGH! BLEHK! I do not like summer entering the week after Christmas. It sort of zaps the enthusiasm to create scarves and hats from me. What I didn't count on was how is zaps the ideas for other projects as well. A nice, decent winter is only norma, seasons change. So are these the kind of California dreams Phillips-Phillips were having on such a winter day in NYC? I think it was NYC where she was at a bus stop in the cold wishing she was in California. Nope, nuh-uh, not for me. I want the winter's day. I need four seasons not summer 365 days out of the year. What's that? You would enjoy that?! You are nuts! It isn't natural, not to mention bad for business. If it weren't for my East Coast and Mid-West customers, Canadian friends and Portland fans I'd be out of business. Thanks guys!
