Although "Live From San Quentin" has been in heavy rotation, I have not been in a funk over Johnny Cash all weekend. My silence has more to do with the unfortunate concurrence of an unusually busy workplace, freelance projects, and personal ambition. I'm bouncing around between formatting page numbers, trying not to throttle my superiors, and making myself a coat. Because, you know, there's no time to start a big sewing project like when you suddenly have to adjust to a full-time work schedule and more responsibilities than one human can sanely fulfill, after all! That's me, life planner extraordinaire!
Anyway, whatever, though my living room looks like a sweatshop right now, I'm going to look fabulous when it's all over. In the meantime, please forgive the short, boring, oh so not funny posts. Or leave and never come back and take me off your links list, why don't you?
Oh - if someone could help me locate a black felt bucket hat like the one at Arden B, only NOT costing sixty dollars (?!?), I would be eternally grateful. Also, if it's possible explain the disturbing phenomenon of my actually liking the new fall clothes at that store, not to mention Benetton, Banana Republic, Bebe, and the like (is it a B thing?), that would be great. Thanks everso.
Posted by hilatron at September 16, 2003 09:39 AM | TrackBackYou're making yourself a coat? That's like in the top five of my list of things I will never, ever, in my whole life have competence or patience to do. I screwed up hemming a blanket with a sewing machine in Girl Scouts. Those migrant babies got no help from me.
By the way, I feel it's time I mention that your comments server has never, ever saved my information. And I know it's not my cookies settings, because my info gets saved on other blogs. It's not a huge problem, really, it does give me more exercise to type each time, but I thought maybe you wouldn't have better things to do than look into it.
Posted by: EV at September 16, 2003 09:52 AMI like sewing...in theory. My house always looks like a fabric store that was hit by a tornado when I sew. And I always have this crazy idea I will save money, but I end up spending a ton on really deluxe fabric.

Posted by: Doombot at September 18, 2003 03:55 PMUnfortunately, Arden B has elected not to put the hat on their website. It's quite fetching, but sixty bucks? Come on.
Posted by: Hilatron at September 19, 2003 08:15 AMall I gotta say about this is : those FUCKING quilts. I think those of you who know will know what I mean.
