let me begin this post by saying: we live in a world of contradictions. black is white! up is down! there's no laws here! it's thunderdome!
and as much as i detest the summer season - and i do - if there is any reliability to "seasonal" disorders and mood variations, summertime is very good for me - i get very organized and energetic. at the gym, i work out harder. at home, i'm less prone to blue moods and racing thoughts. summer, it seems, is my good season, and i post a lot more to this blog when it's hot. i seem to recall posting every single day of last august, which is the month i hate the most.
and i can already feel it ramping up and amping up here, and have a lot of posts in my head, but will begin today's by showing you the big, recycled plastic glands that i bought for eighty-nine cents each at IKEA yesterday and which are now a component of my little spinning room. you see as well that my "little poseur" fingerpuppets have found a home in a box on the wall along with my playbill from when i saw boy george in "taboo" on broadway.
back to the yarn boobs! i think they are SMASHING. they are made of that picky-piecey looking mulitcolored recycled plastic and they can hold a LOT of yarn!
plus, they're just sort of horrible, lovecraftian, and kinda leigh bowery-ish. i am totally in love with them.
i'm getting some new shelving up in that room too, and for my birthday this past winter got a chair and a painted oilcloth for the floor - i'll have pictures when it all comes together but i couldn't wait on the big yarn glands. everybody should have them!
