Blood Bath

Samantha — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:17:25 +0000

I’ve been spending a lot of time looking around my cavernous and cluttered apartment fantasizing about all the nifty things I should do with it. Today, I dream of bathrooms. Oddly enough, my bathtub actually lives in my hallway, and not actually in a room of its very own, but that’s a minor detail.

Tiny Victories

A few days ago, I decided it was time to learn to knit. I picked up a copy of Stitch ‘N Bitch : The Knitter’s Handbook, walked over to the Garment District, and bought a set of needles & a few different colors of yarn.

The last three days, in between bottles of wine and silly movies, I have cursed, thrown my supplies down, and watched more than a dozen This Is How You Knit, You Retard videos on youtube. There was also some pointing and laughing in my direction, but it was well deserved.

Now, I am a basics master and knitted a teeny, tiny little swatch – all cast on, English Method, and bound off like an old pro!

Friends, family, and small animals – be warned. There shall be scarves in your future.

In other news, we had another blizzard, and my man & one of our roommates braved the storm and had brunch. One of these days, I will venture outside with my fancy camera again, but Snowpocalypse V.10million was not that day.

I’m updating from my phone, in bed, just to see how this works. I fear that this might be the end of my organized little site, as I may fill it with random junk I come across. Apparently, I am a citizen of the nation of instant multiple updates of useless trivial information.

Tomato Threats

Samantha — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 20:53:02 +0000

This is exciting enough for me to blog about.

After nearly 9 months, the tomato plants are FINALLY growing tomatoes. There has been much late night cursing at the tomato informercials we keep seeing in our usually quiet and calm home. Bees have been blamed, and artificial pollination methods have been theorized. We were actually going to pull them up and start from scratch again later this week, so I think these little fuckers started fearing for their lives.

We are the tomato masters, and it seems our threats have paid off.

A Special Relationship Between a Girl & Her Couch

Samantha — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:14:08 +0000

This weekend was my last horrah before the craziness of my February schedule begins. I spent the majority of it doing exactly what I wanted to do – which was exactly very little. I marathon watched Law & Order SVU episodes saved to my DVR, read The Graveyard Book cover to cover (and wouldn’t mind reading it again), and re-watched the season finale of Doctor Who.

My couch and I have a very special and very close relationship.

In other news, my dear friend Sawyard has just launched her new blog. Bonzai Aphrodite is the chronicles of a fabulous urban farmer, bringing you the food, the farm, the fashion, and the furthermore. I am so excited to see this project launch, and it has already been added to my favorite blogs.

Now that my weekend is over, it’s time to strap on my work hat. Haute Macabre demands attention, as so the multiple shoots I have scheduled throughout the month.
