radio

i can't believe i'm a radio listener! i've never liked listening to radio. they never played enough music i liked, never any music i knew. but now pandora has changed my life. i seem to listen to it exclusively. if i'm feeling folky, indigo girls or girlyman radio. if i'm feeing like rocky punk, put it out for good radio. if i'm feeling 80s, eurhythmics or everything but the girl radio. or older, joni mitchell radio. if i just want good quintessential caitlin music, over the rhine radio is always always good.

took a break midday today to hear alison bechtel at women and children first. she read from her new graphic memoir, fun house. it was really fabulous. i was glad i went- it was really good. and you KNOW how i feel about the graphic memoir. didn't buy one then. will have to buy one soon, though, i fear.

came home, made some stir fryed rice, and sewed in the lining of this really really cute jacket. i like it alot. it's so much better than that damn white one. but my poor iron! the shiny stuff in the fabric melts onto the faceplate. and i fused some interfacing to it, too. so i had to press everything with a sheet of paper overtop. and damn, it's sticky. it's a huge hassle.

i wish i could take a pic of the jacket for you all, but it's already dark out. i'm sure i'll be making more soon, so i'll have to take a pic then. also, i have pictures of my garden and other sewing projects. i just need to upload them. soon i promise. and thank you, a, for commenting! it's been over a week since i've gotten a comment from anyone else- no one but a has yet commented in july. so without her i'd be just languishing!

enough! work tomorrow= bed. now.
