The Zamo the Destroyer Show #220
New episode of The Zamo the Destroyer Show: Technical Support Monkey’s brother has returned to Mexico and this time Zamo managed to give the list of all the deadbeat loser iguanas who owe Zamo money directly to him, so in theory Iggy’s gonna get paid. Maybe. In other news,...
Poem: Uniform
a world bathed in white pure, co-ordinated, restful —but boring— I would still wear leopard a vixen amongst the virgins —mostly false— a fox amongst the chickens and I bet you wouldn’t object one single bit...
Lighter red, Barbie Ferrari, and the saga of the furnace non-filter
So… I bleached my hair, as I debated doing last week. Not that you can really tell, but it is a lighter shade of red despite 20 minutes with bleach sitting on there and then dyeing over with a medium blonde shade called “California.” Oh well. Baby steps. Or...
Friday Stitch Day update: October 8, 2021
Well, somewhere in the back of my mind I thought I had a couple half-done knitting projects kicking around somewhere and sure enough, they turned up when I was cleaning out the spare room closet. First up, “Interlude” by Shannon Dunbabin, knit with some handspun yarn I bought a...
Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Lemax Web of Terror
I swore I was done with getting more Lemax this year, really I did. Then I thought maybe I’d go pick up The Witching Hour, since it was on for 30% off and I do have a bit of a witch theme going with my acquisitions and current holdings....
The Zamo the Destroyer Show #219
New episode of The Zamo the Destroyer Show: It’s been a frustrating week for Zamo. Not only has Technical Support Monkey refused to get an extended cable TV package, but she’s refusing to hand over the green alpaca wool scarf she’s knitting to add to Iggy’s collection of blankies....
Poem: Fringe
neon fringe old lace hip scarf reminding me of my old hip life city lights dance class shimmying on the same stage where punk bands spat and dead friends once played neon green, deep cyan buried in this beige town...
Flannels and quilts and it’s time to dye my hair again
Well, the rains have come off and on this week, and monsoon season seems to be upon us for the next few months. Still, there’s been some sun, and the garden seems to be enjoying the change. Inside the house, October means the start of flannel sheet season, which...
Friday Stitch Day update: October 1, 2021
Happy October! It’s the season of wanting warm knits. You’d think that would mean I would have touched my Wassailing Stole as mentioned in last week’s post, but you’d be wrong. Instead, I tried my hand at knitting socks. Well, one sock. Well, I got a couple inches in...
Monday Memorabilia/Collections: Lemax Eerie-Go-Round
One of my favorite Lemax pieces, and not just because I got it for a steal. Originally priced at $130 CDN as a 2018 Michael’s exclusive piece, I was in the checkout line at the Uptown Michael’s in Victoria a couple days after Halloween in 2018 with a bunch...
