Warts
I've been getting a bunch of hits on the blog from this site:

Does one of those pictures look familiar?
Sorry folks! You got real warts—I don't.

Andrew
My friend Andrew lives in Hong Kong, where for a few bucks you can get anything tailored for you from scratch just by showing the tailor a picture of what you want and supplying the fabric.
He wanted a nineteenth-century bathing suit—and he got some for his Canadian friends too.
And...then, they made a calendar???!
Yep.
Andrew and Ivy just had a baby, and I KNOW that baby's gonna get a bathing suit too. So I made a bear for him, to match.
Yes, his legs point in rawther diff'rent directions (IT'S HARDER THAN YOU THINK TO SEW THOSE SUCKERS ON RIGHT!). I like to imagine he's doing that move gymnasts do at the end of their routines.
Like, ta-daaaaaaaaaa!
Snicker*
(The bear's wearing this hat, cause it's too big for Theo.)

Yesterday
Something about this glove caught my eye as I came up out of the subway onto 53 Street, so I got out my camera.
Click click click—
Uh oh, who's that approaching?
"Are you done with that, miss?"
Yep, caught by the janitor, taking pichures of trash.
Embarrassing.

Butter chronicles
Greg brought this home yesterday.
So far, I think the Président butter is best, but delicious Canadian butter is the best deal.

SPECIAL CUSHIONS
Greg's (left) and mine (right).
Mine's all skarshed because it goes on my desk chair. (Also because I overstuffed it.)

Churros
I bought a bunch of these on the G train for a dessert I wanted to make (mmm . . . warm churros and ice cream and chocklit sarse).
There were a whole bunch left over. . . . I had to eat all of them all at once to make them go away.
Sometimes it's the only way.

PERVERSITY
I have a perverse love for this cushion. Perverse because . . . it's "Christmas" plaid? And literally matches nothing in our apartment?
I found the cover in a bag of cloth on a trash can (there's a matching one), and I finally sewed a pilla inside it a couple weeks ago.

The difference
When you are reading a book made of paper, you can tell when you're coming to the end. With an audiobook, if you aren't watching the screen, you might have no idea it's almost over.
The ending of this book was so sad and abrupt I almost couldn't handle it.
