2008 is going to be a good year. i have a thing for even numbered years, and i especially like “round” years (or names). as an example, number 7 is kind of spiky, but 8 is round and nice, so i like 8 better. hey, we all need criteria, right?
have a smashing 2008!
“i don’t care if it rains or freezes
as long as i’ve got my plastic jesus
sitting on the dashboard of my car basket of my bike
it comes in colours pink and pleasant
it glows in the dark cause it’s irisdescent
i take it with me whenever i go far
so give me my lady madonna
dressed in rhinestones and sitting on a
pedestal of abalone shells
i’m driving 90 but i’m not scared
cause i’ve got my virgin mary
assuring me that i’ll never go to hell”
plastic jesus, jack johnson cover.
i’m so getting one for my bike, just so that i can sing this song whenever i ride it… i love singing when i’m driving (car or bike). makes me happy!
two things i love: postcards and lists. in december, both are used (even) more frequently than usual around here.
the postcards in the photo were courtesy of a drawn.ca coupon for moo. as usual, moo‘s quality is flawless but lately i’ve been a bit disappointed by them. the two orders i made from china were lost and had to be re-sent. and i’m still waiting for a reply to an email sent about… 2 months ago?
(though they did the re-sending rather fast and successfully, i can’t help to still feel a bit sad. i don’t have high expectations for a lot of companies, but some, those which i really like and recommend, i set my standards high. the unanswered email really bugged me, maybe because i answer so many.)
anyway, all of my postcards have designs by the talented blanca gomez. she’s one of the several artists whose work you can choose from when making your cards. they’re so cute that i’ve framed one of them and haven’t had the courage to send any of the others… they’re just sitting on my desk, being pretty. :)
update: moo did answer afterall, but i didn’t get the email they sent.
they got back at me when they read this post, and forwarded that email. had me smiling – blogs matter. :)
note to people out there: don’t send big files through emails, you never know what other people’s email size limits are!
If the sun
Refused to shine
Down on me
‘Till the end of time
As long as i have your caress
Your tenderness
I will be blessed
If the stars
Refused their light
Just for me
They stayed out of sight
If you say you love me best
I won’t care less
I will be blessed
If the wind won’t blow your name
Until i’m still
I will
If it’s whispered from above
The highest hill
I will
If the moon
Up in the sky
Turned its face
From the lonely eye
I could never be distressed
Or love you less
I will be blessed
I will be blessed, Lisa Ekdahl
the exam season is now over and i can start to breathe again. i feel like this little fellow on the beach, with the wind blowing on my scarf and the feeling of freedom that comes with it.
it’s time to catch up with the world, with my emails, with the feeds left unread, with all the letters and postcards long overdue, with the half-finished projects, with friends and hugs, with what’s left of winter… i’m happy!
