i set up a loom by myself for myself for the first time. and it works! and there are no threading errors! the warp is bamboo - 10 in across and 7 yards long! there are a few technical errors - like the warp is going around both beams in what seems to be backwards (?) but i think that it is partially because of the way the beams are looped to the tie-on rod. also, it could have all been set in a smaller dent, but c'est la vie. - i didnt want to do a bunch of calculations to get the right way to sleigh it. i listened to four lucinda williams albums while i did this and it really delighted me. i also really wanted to be able to do this in new orleans someday so will see about that. i found a lady weaver in laplace. she looked like all weavers and talked about weavers how all weavers do which is as the best people! heeheehee! weavers rock! i tell you, you meet a weaver and no matter what they possess an adventurous soul (and also, most likely a kind streak).

ANTS ANTS EVERYWHERE ANTS! I JUST WANT TO EAT THESE CHERRIES IN PEACE!
plus, earlier today i witnessed large harvester ants being delivered via the mail in a tiny testube to their new home in my two year old nannybaby's spage age ant farm which has no dirt, food or water but a bright aqua gel and plugs into an lcd light. the ants dont die apparently, because nasa did a test and this is how ants survive in zero gravity. if these ants dont die i am going to be really creeped out.

it's fourth of july here. friday night. weaving a way here.
lost love really is a tragedy but it has been humanity's choice to make it the way we can all relate to each other.
the reason why i must have children in my life at all times is that they remember joy as the other option (sometimes heh)
back to work.
it's happening! it's happening ! i am becoming the woman ive always known i am!
