getting better all the time

October 13, 2009

In the words of The Beatles:

I’ve got to admit it’s getting better, a little better all the time…

Like this sweet machine, I’m just a little bit broken – but that’s never stopped me before!

Big hugs to everyone who has been extra lovely the past week, and for all the emails, text messages, love and care.

Love you all,

I didn’t buy these yesterday – but they sure caught my eye! If you must have them, check out the Vinnies Shop on Johnston St.

I’d never given much though to what colour an accordion reverie would be – but I didn’t expect pink and purple…

Opera A-Go-Go? This one boggles my mind a little – Like girls? Dig cars? Buy this record!

Time on my hands and buzzing after a wonderful Bluebird breakfast (honey ricotta toast, coffee, and some seriously beautiful photography books), I went for a stroll…

timewarp laundromat

Always empty. Door open, walk right in…but then what? If I get too close, would I see a thick coating of dust?

It’s dark inside, even on sunny days. The floor is colours I don’t even know names for – peachy keen? fuschia nude? aqua flake?

I don’t know who you are, and can’t help wondering what happened next…Guess you’ve been looking out of this window a long time?

Life’s too short – if you want change, be that change. I’m looking forward to spending more time with Joffa, and having more energy for what really matters in my life. I’m touched by the fact that just admitting this to various people today has made them feel inspired and happy. There’s a lot I’ll miss about my current job, but so much more to rediscover.

Life is change. Hollywood hairstyles is now an empty shell, waiting for someone to love and transform it yet again.

Have you met Toshi? He owns the tres bohemian Kappaya, in Johnston Street, Abbotsford. Beautiful brown rice tea (his Dad sends it from Japan), sweet decor – think nubbly curved sofas, branches, globes, 30’s wooden chairs, industria…Look for the wheelbarrow of succulents out front. Open daylight hours only, save a seat por moi please.

I used to be Snow White…but I drifted. Dust and peeling paint can’t hide these dangerous curves…

I love fonts, two-tone cars, and sunny days. When all these collide? Mmm…
