And so begins the countdown to...
"My Last Summer Vacation Ever".
Translation: I'm quitting work at the end of the month so as to have time to read poetry, do yoga with amber, take roadtrips, organize my life and write lists, paint and collage, learn to cook, etc. Yes, the month of July will be a busy one, but I'm getting really talented at waking up early and going strong all day. I move to Brooklyn mid-August. I start school the 19th. Busy busy busy.
Things I need you to know:
http://www.daisysewing.com --I'm one of the new designers. I do the silkscreening, knitting, jewelry. The Leftover Knitting Brigade is my fun line of scarves. They're all made of mix'n'match yarn from my grandma, and they're super-fun!
I saw Wicked last night----WOAH. A-mazing. I wanted it to never end. It's the best theatre show I have ever seen.
I'm getting new glasses. 1) Sunglasses, and 2) Funky plastic frames. I'm debating between green, blue, and brown frames. The colors of my aura.
I bought a mega beast of a camera. Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ20. 12x optical zoom, optical stabilization, Leica lens, hot-shoe ready, manual focusing ring. It's beautiful. Add a tripod and some filters, and look out! I'm a professional!
I'm buying my MAC laptop by the end of the month. Any suggestions on whether I should go with the new line (MacBook/ MacBookPro), or the old lines (PowerBook, IBook)? Suggestions will help me help myself.
I need to do a mixtape/ cd exchange...who wants in? I need a mix of music from someone really badly. The feeling of "this is mine now. i will learn this music and love it". I need your help!
Starting yoga with Amber. She's going to make me all better.
Someone send me a good survey, and I'll do it. No wait, I'll write one. Just you wait and see.
