Am watching "Pi" with Rob right now. Curiously, this doesn't make me want pie.
I am coming off a couple days campaigning for Jeremiah, my candidate. We had a run-in with the opposition on Thursday, who were just MEAN. Seriously. Mean and assholish. In public. I was shocked, quite frankly. I expect to be treated with courtesy, even if we're the team running against your team, and especially when I've offered them no discourtesy. I was furious. He made himself no friends out there-- everyone who saw his behavior was put off. So, good. Good for us.
I went into an occult store that's in a restored home a few blocks from my house. I felt strangely drawn to a moonstone pendant, so I bought it. That hasn't happened to me before. WTF, it's pretty, at least. Since I started wearing it, I've found it easier to release anger, so that's good. I don't like feeling anger when there's nothing I can do to fix what I'm angry with.
The occult store owner was a nice girl who is living her dream-- she saved enough to quit the corporate life and open up this little store. I love hearing that. She is looking for "spiritual" art to sell on consignment. Just that was enough to trigger a rush of ideas for art quilts. I hit a fabric sale and picked up enough to make at least six small quilts. Right now I'm working on one based on the traditional Tree of Life block, but more organic-looking. I hope it'll sell. I could use the money. Once I finish this, it's on to the next. These are pretty quick gratification, unlike the bed quilt I'm making, which looks like this, only turned 90 degrees. And way, way bigger. It'll go on our bed someday...
Also, when I mentioned I've made historical clothes, she said if I ever made a set of ritual robes, I could sell those through her too. Any of my pagan friends can tell me what ritual robes are supposed to look like, and what would make them attractive enough for someone to buy?
In bizarro news, I got a call from my temp service. Remember them? I didn't. Apparently the firm I temped for back in April wants me back for something. They didn't say what, but they said they'd want me Tuesday. I guess I find out on Monday what's up. Yay for money.
I watched the reissued The Outsiders today. Stay gold, Ponyboy. Tom Cruise is really, really not cute in that. Emilio Estevez is adorable. Patrick Swayze is ripped. Rob Lowe is pretty.
