productive so far

one of the errands on my list today was to head to a craft store because i'd run out of one my favorite colors of embroidery floss, and wanted some spray adhesive for sewing. i found the embroidery floss i needed, and then i ran into these iron-on letters. i nearly had a stroke i was so excited about them.
they're different from any iron-on's i've used before; they're quite a bit thicker, more plastic, and consist of these raised beads. around the edge you can see the clear beads, which make the finished product sort of sparkly. they were $7, and worth every damn penny. normally i wouldn't spend that much on iron-on letters, but the opportunity to make maggie a tyrant onesie was too much for me. and really, for her i'd spend just about anything. i'm a sucker for her chubby little face.

i did not find the spray adhesive, but out of all the things on my list that was the only thing i didn't find or couldn't get done. i went to the post office, the grocery store, put gas in my car, and went to the library where i found some books on mormonism and an a&e series by neil gaiman i'd never even heard of. i think it's important to temper religious readings with some good old fashioned science fiction, don't you agree?

and i still have a whole lot of today left to do with what i want. maybe some laundry, and some painting and reading. whoo!

how the hell have you not heard of neverwhere? read the book! it's good!

the bbc tv series is, well, a crappy bbc series that looks like it was shot w/your dad's vhs camera. not really bad, though, if you can get past how it looks.
