JAB Club

so i'm currently unemployed (only for the summer) and have a need to fill my time with an activity that doesn't necessarily require tons of money. Yeah i'm getting pretty bored at home especially now that my sewing machine is busted. So i decided to start a book club of sorts. I call it the JAB Club which stands for "Jane Austen Book Club" yup! I never had the opportunity to read all of Jane Austen's books so I am now taking the time to read and analyze them. I currently have 2 members in this club other than myself. One lives in Oregon, the other in LA and i live, well not where they live. So we're going to have Skype meetings in order to have our discussions. technology has made this possible! This is an invitation to any of my readers who wants to possibly join this club... here are the guidelines:

We will be reading Jane Austen's 6 complete novels in order of publishing

Sense and Sensibility
Pride and Prejudice
Mansfield Park
Emma
Northanger Abbey
Persuasion

We will have 2 weeks to read each book (so you can check it out at the library) and have scheduled Skype meetings.

who's in??

my skype name is marcihearts, look me up!

bladiblah

i don't have much to say this time around just a complaint. i'm complaining about my laziness and procrastination. i get into this funk sometimes that doesnt seem to quit. i've been needing to sew up some more bags to sell and when i finally decided to do so, i found my machine not working. i took it in to get looked at and they told me they would take a week to fix it. WTF, ONE WEEK?? this type of thing should teach me to get a move on things but instead, makes me procrastinate even more. Ughh

done.

Shut your face!

i know i don't mean to brag or anything but my dog pretty much rocks. He is the best in all things but most of all, he can cuddle and snuggle. what more can a girl ask for?

everything must go!

traitor... complimented

i do feel a bit like a traitor... seriously, a traitor. I went to Coffee Bean. yes i'm a coffee snob. i do enjoy Starbucks and can't quite seem to get the taste for "other" coffee places anyhow...

I was down at the Coffee Bean ordering their version of a frappacino, the ice blended and i was answering the usual questions whip? yes, reciept? nah... then the guy behind the counter hands me back my debit card and says "thank you come back and visit us soon" and as i was saying "ok, thanks" i noticed this guy said something under his breath "...because, you're beautiful". It did sound pretty clear to me but you always have to ask again so i said "excuse me?" and he said, smiling, "your coffee will be ready in a bit"

whoa... is it just me or does "because you're beautiful" sound completely different than "your coffee will be ready in a bit"

haha it was a bit confusing at first but it was actually a really nice compliment. Now, i'm horrible at taking compliments so i kept giving this guy a weird look and he had this funny smirk on his face. i guess i'll take the compliment now.

pretty ok for being a traitor.

will i ever buy coffee bean again?? NEVER!!

i'm a coffee snob for life!

getting crafty

I made a recent purchase and wanted to accessorize it. I had gone to the store and found nothing fun or unique so, i decided to make one myself. I spent about $15 on supplies, fabric, zippers, buttons and this is what became of it:






What is this purchase you may ask.... a macbook. this years tax return came in handy.

canvas shell, stripe flannel lining, zipper side pocket for accessories, and button closures :)

no day but today...

The Broadway tour of RENT was in Los Angeles last week and i did my part and got tickets. They were nosebleed seats but that was ok. I've seen the show before but never with some of the original cast members. Anthony Rapp as Mark, and Adam Pascal as Roger. As soon as the performance ended, i headed for the stage door and tried to get an autograph or photo and no one came out. The performance was amazing though. It is just the way i remember listening to it so many years ago. La Vie Boheme is my favorite song in the entire musical and it was great hearing Anothony Rapp sing it out!

I was bummed I didnt get to meet the cast so Brian made the suggestion to find where they were performing next and go to that show. Lucky for us, they were in San Diego next!!!

bought my tickets and headed down there. we got there a bit early and decided to stand by the stage door and see if we could catch anyone going into the theatre.... so glad we did!!

We saw Adam Pascal walking around the corner and he was soooo kind and paused for a quick photo op...




We also saw Anthony Rapp but he was in a hurry to get inside the theatre so we weren't able to get a snapshot with him. We did talk to him as he was walking though. I have a mini crush on him :)

it was a good day!
