A dude tried to pick me up at the bar last night by suggesting that I come over on his day off when he will be making stew from scratch.

Which is kind of sweet, compared to most attempts.

I bought strawberry ice cream and it's blackout-style, which means it tastes weird and unflavored. Fuck man. I want my $3.40 back.

What else. The trunk is happily ensconced in the corner of my room. I haven't figured out what deserves to go in it yet. My room is too small for all my bidness. Also what does it say about me that I like to have mirrors in every room? It's for the feng shui, people.

Our house is getting more and more rockin. One day it will be ready to be presented to other humans for card-playing and movie nights. One day.

I am thinking bi-weekly meetings for drawing and button-making and mending. Like the Royal Art Lodge, like Flux Thursdays but instead of presenting art, making art. Like the Church of Craft. But maybe with more group direction? Like, today here is a pile of matchboxes and everybody makes your own tiny diorama?

You are so cool. Why can't I live near you and do crafty things?!?!

Aw shucks. Thanks.

But crafty things are everywhere! I know, we all need a kick in the pants to actually do them instead of just assembling like 4 drawers full of fake birds and holographic stickers and stuff.

i want to do crafty stuff with you.

I am honored! As soon as you are on the same side of the ocean.

And I'll host movie night.

You are an excellent and attentive host. We could have movie night at my house too sometime, except that my house has a littler TV and no DVD capabilities. And I'm on a b/w kick right now, do you like those? I just saw Sunset Blvd. which was great.

Pshaw! Glad ya had a swell time. Nice and spontaneous. Plus, you have such sexy red stripes in your hair! What a surprise.

I love B&W movies. I have a bunch on DVD, itching to be cracked. Ever see Kubrick's THE KILLING [written by Jim Thompson]? Mad fresh. I'll host the movies, you host the crafts.

THE KILLING

"After getting out of prison, Johnny Clay masterminds a complex race-track heist, but his scheme is complicated by the intervention of the wife of a teller (George Peatty) in on the scheme, the boyfriend of the wife, airport regulations, and a small dog."

[sissychrissy1.livejournal.com]

I would seriously love to get together some time when I'm down there. I'll drop you an email next time I make plans!

i remember shuffy had the idea for a formal constarints music series, where she would invite different musicians and give them certain parameters and then have them compose pieces. i don't know if she ever did it, but your crafty meetings could be like that.

Or, it could be all based on what you find that week. Like if you get to MFA and find a trillion yards of tafetta then make a theme based on that.

Sounds good.
