lazy weekend

its been a lazy weekend around here.

ava yawning
see? (this is a picture of ava p. yawning)

we've not done much.

except go shopping for food. and then prepare some of it. and i did get all the bookshelves moved into place.

stuffed bears
so the bears could have a permanent place to sit, finally.

i hope they stay there. i hope no cats decide to push them off. i hope they'll all be friends. thats pot and belly (the two lighter colored bears), and the darker one, well.. his name, currently, is ltdeb, or simply leeet for short. but i think i should give him a more distinguised name, don't you think? being that he now has to live with two dorks named "pot" and "belly".. and he does have a tie on (you can't see it in the picture), though its more of a ribbon, though he likes to think of it more like a southern tie. so, i just let him think that way.

my brother pointed me to, no pun intended by the bit just finished, bearshare. i've been slowly downloading the mp3s for the soundtrack to the movie songcatcher. i wish i had a utility that would convert the mp3s to standard cd audio form cause then i could share the music with my non-computerized friends. (yes, i have some of those). it is great stuff. after this i'm gonna go look for steve earle's new disc (i saw him interviewed on upclose about his new stuff, its great!) and some other stuff i'm wanting to get my hands on.

see, i'm getting tired of the tv. so, now that i'm starting to get my apartment cleaned i'm starting to rediscover all my books. and i'd rather not read them, or read stuff online in silence.. so i turn to music. and i'm tired of *my* music. and now i'm too poor to go out and buy stuff. so, all this napster stuff.. i'll go download some stuff.. and then ask for some stuff. and occasionally go over to cd world during their 3 for 30.00 sales and get a couple of cds, and then borrow cds from friends, i hope. and hopefully i'll build my collection. and read my books. i love folk, acoustic stuff. and bluegrass. but i *hate* bob dylan. i can't stand the guy's voice. i adore paul simon. yesterday, while i was cleaning, i discovered a john prine album.. is that his name? anyways, i hear his name all the time. so, i'll be popping him in at some point. and iris dement. her name i hear all the time. so, you get the genre by now.

oh, and for those of you who *haven't* heard about "bowling for columbine" yet.. my brother, who is into movies and *not* books, saw it last night. he said it was really really good. so, go see it when it comes to your town. and if it doesn't, rent it when the time comes, and if you can't rent it.. i'm sure netflix of whatever that place is that everyone seems to be raving about renting from online will have it.

on that note. here's a happy face for you to start the week with:
ava pearl

ps.
yes, i am a very bad dyke. i have *just now* realized how beautiful dar wiliams's voice is. :P

Ava is beautiful, she's obviously a cat who has a good life :) And the bears are cute too ;)

You're not a bad dyke.. I just realized last month that Dar Williams is wonderful. And, through some odd coincidence, I am listening to her now. ("The Christians and the Pagans" is a good song.)

I sang for you
though you did not hear
and I sang to the tree spirits
asking them to release your fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing for you

I sing with you
though you may not hear
we sing for your spirit
may it rise above fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing with you

brooke
brooke is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).
