Brutally Entertaining!

Fabulous! Loved every bit of the movie. Wonderful cast that delivers – though Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger could have done a lot more with their roles. But hey, I am not complaining. Go watch how a beautiful movie is supposed to be made.





not the dining philosophers, but still a problem

44 emails to plan a dinner for 4.

There are better ways out there, but why doesn’t anyone use them?

What is your preferred solution for this dining (non-)philosophers problem? :)

Two sketches, from my pocketbook. Both of friends, done in under a minute, before I got caught.

I tie-dye and the world turns around and throws me a curveball – from now on, once a week, I get to eat probiotic raw food for lunch – this means chocolate mousse without dairy, cucumber pasta and eggplant bacon. thanks to our lovely catering service.

excuse me while I go hug a tree..brb





dyeing over the weekend

14 07 2009

A couple of perfectly decent tees were irreparably harmed in the making of this post.

After my grocery run this weekend, I ended up strolling into the craft store adjacent to it. Well, what follows will just have to be blamed on the possible spiking of stuff at the sample counter of my local Trader Joe’s. :)

Obviously, one goes into such things with a certain sense of quiet assurance and confidence in one’s abilities. There were some minor doubts, but they were promptly shattered by “educating” oneself via YouTube. Then one embarked on the tying, twisting, sewing (oh yes, one of those Tees actually has shibori work on it :) ).

The dyeing itself was miraculously painless. But now that the Tees are ready to go – I wonder where one would actually wear them? :)

This last picture is of a kid’s shirt – a birthday gift for a 3 year old. Well, the rather quiet, contemplative toddler will have to learn to embrace his inner grooviness at some point, doesn’t he?
