Cohos HikeSo I tried to downgrade my phone from a blackberry to a regular cell phone two days ago in an attempt to not have internet on my phone.
In a great stroke of timing luck, this XKCD comic basically sums it up.
(I lasted less than 24 hrs. I got up to the worst alarm clock function ever, had to turn on my super-slow-startingup laptop to get the weather, and then a few of the keys stopped working randomly. At lunchtime that day I got the current iphone. I can has happy.
the sweater i’m working on. i’ve gotten finished with the first sleeve (pictured) and just started the body. if you look at it, on the top there’s a holdered-off section and a section that’s still on the needles. the front and back are worked separate and then joined again to make the other sleeve. after that’s done, i’ll sew up the bottom of each sleeve and cast on stitches at the bottom of the body to make 2 ribbed welts that will be held together by green died mother of pearl buttons that are etches with flowers. the contrast will go nicely, i think.
A lighting installation by my friend Mason, who I rarely see due to his location, and who I respect a whole bunch! Congrats Mason!

today i saw a woman on the train with the curled up hair + scarf do, exactly like in this illustration, on the subway. she wasn’t wearing a garment worker’s outfit…more like sleeveless rockabilly punk tank with too tight “jeans”, but i did a double take, about 5 times. i was impressed with her attention to detail.
I’m more for massive infrastructure changes, but this is basically the gist of what I’ve been saying for the past year, just based on the few times I’ve traveled in and around Detroit.
As a sidenote, greenways are great, but more accessible public transporatation would be greater. I also find the greenways to be a lil ridiculous even if a somewhat interesting reuse idea. patch-up jobs just don’t work for this city.
a) the move “Up” is so good it hurts, and all should see it
b) xkcd pt 1
c) xkcd pt 2
oh and i had some amazing food at a raw veggie restaurant in manhattan. understated but delicious sake mojitos por favor, arigato, yes!
I devoured this yesterday (har har, pun intended). I have to say, Zombies makes classics way better. Not that I didn’t like the original, but play of words works best while there are beheadings afoot.
