So as I was going through my old photos I came across my grandparents’ wedding photo. I never realized how pretty it was. When I’m older I am definitely going to hang this up in my house so my grandchildren can see it. It’s so beautiful. :)

Bonnie Prince Billy - Careless Love

I wrote a careless love

“Love me not for I’m above

above a cloud all flat and white

and with another love tonight”

And then a careless love

by weighty cloud above

was ground into the floor

to loving breathe no more

Lady as I leave you

limp on the floor

distorting our voices

slamming the door

I say sorry

I say bye bye

I say miss you

I say cry cry

Poet.

A few weeks ago I saw him perform in an abandoned high school on a teeny-tiny island on the French Broad River in the middle of mountain nowhere. It was as magical as it sounds.

I felt like he was singing straight at me……. but 300 other people probably felt that way, too.

I’ve been taking a knitting class in preparation for the impending Appalachian winter.  Living in Austin for two years turned me into a seasonal sissy…. I’ve got to get my snow legs back.  Finished my first project last night— a cowl-neck scarf.  Check it.
Knitta’ Whaat?!

“Have you ever had sex with Rick Perry?”
An Austin Ron Paul supporter has taken out a full-page ad in the local alt weekly newspaper seeking any “stripper … escort … or ‘young hottie’” who has slept with Rick Perry, part of his single-minded jihad against the presidential candidate. (Editor’s note: more dudes are going to come forward than women lol)

In early 2010, Rob Gorski, Emergency Physician and friend of Cabin Porn, purchased Rabbit Island: a 90-acre island on Lake Superior situated 3 miles off the Michigan shore.  With the aid of friends, including Andrew Ranville, and the support of the Kickstarter community, he’s spent the last two summers building an Adirondack-style shelter there, the beginnings of his vision to develop the remote island into an off-grid artist residency.

BOO-YA!  Home-made organic honey wheat with flax, poppy, sunflower, & sesame seeds.
Three recipes, and four mediocre loaves later, I’ve finally got something I’m proud of.  I’m beginning to get the hang of this new homesteading hobby.
