Hewo kitty!



Will you be my friend?





Hey, where you going?

Come back kitty!



Becky will pet you!





OK, well . . . you are busy today.

I understand.

Sunday night

I made pizza!





Can you believe it? I never made it before.

It was shockingly good.

Ha ha!

Mr. Cactus peed his pants!



He fell over too.

I think he's been drinking again.

GOOD LORD!

They are multiplying!





Where did this towhead come from?

Time to seal the crack under the door.

A good Friday night

Stay at the office until 9:30 getting stuff done. Meet Greg in Brooklyn.



A bottle of wine, a steak, puddin', and coffee.

Home together.

Sleep for ten hours.

Yes.

50 cent books



Weekend purchases.

Yep.

Division of property

We used to share, but now we divide em up (apparently someone is a selfish hogg in her sleep).



Greggy gets the red duvet. I get the white blanket, the blue quilt, and the Hudsons Bay blanket.

Despite having more body fat, I seem to require more insulation.

Edmé.



Pensive. (Also: cute belly rinkle)

Sorry if this is you

On the E train.



I really wanted to see the dog's face!

I took like 50 pictures.



No dice.

Erosion

Remember the mint plant I had on the fire escape at our old apartment?

Well, when we got to the new place I stuck it outside on the air conditioner then neglected it.



It got rained on, blown around by the wind...and look at what has been revealed!



Some little skorl is skwatching his haid. "Now where's that nut at?"

December 10, 2009

See these boots?



Something inside the sole is detached on the right foot.

See this hallway?



I walk up and down it, like, 75 times a day.

Step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step, squeak, step . . .

It's driving me up the frickin' wall.

What to do

Write things on little pieces of paper. Then forget why.



Also draw a few pictures.

It's the best way to stay organized. (I find.)

Sherlock Holmes

What do these stories have in common?

"The Red-headed League":









"The Adventure of the Speckled Band":



"The Adventure of the Resident Patient":



Yes, the characters are ejaculating all over the place! I was rarther startled by this when I was twelve.

Now: the movie!



Will there be more or less ejaculating?

Can't wait to find out.

(NOTE TO TITLE DESIGNER: Nice metal type. But, what—you're going to print "Sherlock Holmes" in mirror writing with your giant letterpress? Just wondering.)

IMPORTANT UPDATES!

Cactus mini friends:



Mysterious failure to thrive continues!

Christmas cactus:



Repotted!

In this baby.

Mysterious parkidge



Open on Christmas.

Women's One-a-Day

These things are DISGUSTING!



Every morning I choke one down. If I take it on an empty stomach by mistake, I will literally barf.

Yesterday I had to eat chicken stew with dumplings (my lunch) WITH MY FINGERS at the BUS STOP on the way to work to prevent vomiting.

Hello, pharmaceutical companies? Make these smaller! And less narsty!!

I will thank you (and so will riders of the b48 I am pretty damn sure).

The Most Important Gift Catalogue in the World



Check.

(It involves sheep.)

Etching by Greg!




































Oooh! Gold leaf.

Mysterious seeds



I found these on the running track at McCarren park.

Two words



"Jean" "shorts."

(It'll grow a face as soon as I find my darning needle.)

Seasonal milepost

First present wrapped!



Theme: paisley.

(The hat is in there.)

Friday night house-warming

Fun loft party!

Then it got . . . funner:



What even happened???!

Portrait studio



He reminds me of my high school guidance counselor.

She had a very fuzzy face.

Hat for a sister in law

I made this.



Then I thought—Greg's sister lives in a small town in British Columbia. She is not "funky." She will not be going to the tam tams (she has much better taste!).

Frogged it and made this instead.



Only slightly pointy, with ear-warmer band around the bottom. No pom pom.

Much better.

Audrey $4.00

I wish I had taken this picture.



Poor Audrey and Twyla.

Yard Sale Bloodbath witnessed this.

You know what?

I really miss my animal friends.

None at the new apartment.

Give me this





































Anthropologie. Sale.

I like it.

Time to clear my crap off the table?



Getting there.

It's that time

Scary illuminated yard friends:





Three blind Santa mice?



These really crack me up.

Merry Christmas!

Full moon over Greenpoint



Shining on us.

Thank you, moon!
