nighttiming.

just because i'm pretty sure no one will catch on... i have been naming my posts the name of the song i am currently listening to when i start writing. just because. its fun. today's is particular fun - by a band called coconut records. pretty good. its jason schwartzman's band.

when tyler got his computer set up, he decided that he wanted to rip all my music off my ipod... we now have just over 16000 songs on the computer... well... some of them are on his external hard drive, but they all come up when you are listening to music on the computer. and let me tell you, it is the most random music collection i think i have ever seen. tyler is about as random as me, but in different ways. for instance... tyler has music that you would hear if you went to the club on a friday night. wtf? sometimes he likes to put it on when we have friends over hanging out... because he thinks its funny when people are like, WHAT is this and WHY are we listening to it. and i just laugh because i know EXACTLY how it came to be.

so today is my no work day, and i haven't called the chiropractor (sorry mom... i keep forgetting) and i am supposed to ride my bike all the way over to kal lake to hang out with tenille at her mom's. she wants to try and pretend its still summer, and attempt to get a tan. or some semblance of one. she lives in toronto now, and does make up and special effects make up for movies... and so works several consecutive long days. so she missed the whole summer, pretty much. but i just got out of bed, and i'm feeling lazy. and like taking my time. and my mom wants me to come and can tomatoes with her... and i feel like i should because i never have time any other time... so maybe i'll end up doing that at some point today. tyler and i also need to paint... maaaybe that will happen tonight. we got purple paint for our bedroom. its half navy blue, and half baby pink. we were joking last night with some friends that its like they were painting, and someone else came in and said 'we're moving out!' and so they just dropped their rollers, and thats as far as the painting went (they didn't even finish the wall they were working on). i hate the navy blue so much, and the pink is really ugly too. i actually just hate the way our room looks right now. it sucks.

and i just remembered what i wanted to write about today! yay! i came up with a really awesome idea for decorating my sewing room without having to paint it (because, as tyler pointed out, paint is expensive, and it isn't our house). i have this really awesome tacky but wonderful chair that my mom found me, and another brown one. both really old. and they both match, but don't, with the baby blue colour of the walls. tyler and i were going through my box of pictures the other night. and i found some of my favourite pictures i have in there. some reaaallllyyy cool pictures of my kleyh grandparents. their wedding photo in particular (she wore a skirt suit, and he wore his navy uniform. so perfect looking for the era). i want to find some cool cheesy old frames (i figure i'll check out value village and find some sweet gold ones) and frame a bunch of old pictures. i'll do the whole room vintage, and with pictures of my family. old ones. i'm excited. i also need to track down a cute little writing desk for the typewriter tyler got me for no reason in particular other than he knew i was in love with it. it was made in 1948, and it is beautiful.

anyway... now its time to clean, and decide what exactly i am going to do with my day. agh. you shouldn't have to make decisions like this on days off. this should be able to just happen. or not happen. but no plans.
