i have a huge, huge, huge afghan my great-grandmother crocheted. theresa might have seen it when she was here but i didn't point it out. it's bright neon orange, puke green, and yellow. she used to just crank them out but was really tacky (greek) so she made interesting color choices. it's also acrylic so it will never be destroyed.

the yellow is not really yellow, it's more "mustard"

i love that combo! it makes me nostalgic for my parents' poor decorating choices when i was a kid.

my friend's mom made me a gorgeous afghan a couple of years ago and there was wool leftover so she made a surprise little afghan for my dog<3<3.

a gorgeous afghan
just realized i don't know what an afghan is
― jergins, Tuesday, 21 July 2009 03:14 (fourteen years ago) link
gis safe search off isn't helping
an afghan is just a knitted or crocheted blanket basically. they are often hideous (except estela's gorgeous one). i think you would recognize one if you saw it

saturday rather
it took us 3.5 hrs to get from NJ to brooklyn in the pickup truck, which was terrible because ari had an interview that afternoon so instead of spending the afternoon packing and loading beforehand she basically showed up, packed 2 boxes and had to go, i had to enlist some bros to go way above and beyond their duties as friends to help me pack and load and it took forever and they were pretty annoyed with me by the end BUT we ended up getting all of the shit into the truck so it only took 1 trip AND ari got the job which is just a crummy tutoring gig but its a job nonetheless
― max max max max, Monday, 27 July 2009 14:12 (fourteen years ago) link
and since most of the crap in the apartment was aris and not mine i was really afraid of throwing anything away so i brought home probably 2 boxes worth of stuff she didnt want saved--also she accused me of breaking her lamp but we all know it was already broken
― max max max max, Monday, 27 July 2009 14:13 (fourteen years ago) link
THE REALY WORST BIT THO is that we moved out this weekend because we thought we had gotten out of our lease early since another man was going to come move into the apartment and sign a lease from august first but we found out this morning that the guy has backed out and no longer wants to move in for the first so unless we can find someone who wants to sign a year long lease or sublet an empty apartment for one month were on the hook for august! which doesnt really save us any money at all!!!
― max max max max, Monday, 27 July 2009 14:15 (fourteen years ago) link
LYFE!!!!!!
there is a cute little one bdrm cottage right behind our apartment building that has become available, even has a miniature front yard and a really private back patio that looks out on trees and shit. ytth wants to move, and so do i, but even just thinking about the hassle of moving makes me feel sick ;_;
― smoove operator, Monday, 27 July 2009 15:54 (fourteen years ago) link
max, that does sound like a miserable day. This is the first year we won't be moving since Mr. Jaq and I (have moved 10 times in the past 9 years), because I signed a 2 year lease. I'm still looking at craigslist all the time though.
― jaq, Monday, 27 July 2009 16:09 (fourteen years ago) link
oops. since Mr. Jaq and I met
― jaq, Monday, 27 July 2009 16:10 (fourteen years ago) link
you are addicted to moving!
― smoove operator, Monday, 27 July 2009 16:14 (fourteen years ago) link
pretty much. Though I don't especially like the trauma of the actual process, I do like pruning out the stuff to donate/pitch, the thrill of the hunt for a new place, and getting everything set up once the move is done. But the idea of staying where we are for now is also very appealing (as long as no one moves into the unit above us, which may not happen for awhile in this economy...knock wood).
― jaq, Monday, 27 July 2009 16:19 (fourteen years ago) link
max where did you move?
i used to be like you, jaq! i think i will not move for a while because a) moving is $$$ b) this place ain't so bad c) i have not even reallllllly moved all the way in yet!
― te,he (tehresa), Monday, 27 July 2009 21:01 (fourteen years ago) link
although every day i walk down the street and look at all these beautiful buildings and think 'oh i want to live there!' like this one with a fountain in front. a fountain!
back home for a month to save money for our trip

my friend moved into my apartment in ohio and she said the other night she went to a bar a couple blocks away and a guy caught up with her on the way home and followed her to the outside door leading upstairs and wouldn't leave, then tried to hold it so it wouldn't lock. ugh. now i feel like, why did i move somewhere more dangerous? barf.
