Your good friend Sweeney

Here is a tiny copy of something I drew of Sweeney Todd. It has been photoshoped for the red and the black gradient. Not sure why it is so small.

* Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.

Last Sunday, Abe and I went up to Bellingham to the Whatcom Symphony Orchestra’s holiday concert. It was really nice. My mom got us the tickets so we went with her and Jim and Isaac. I really liked the first half of the first half and the whole second half. We even got to sing White Christmas with the choir. It was great. Mostly volunteer musicians and they did a great job. It was lovely.

However, they chose the most unfortunate sack dresses for the women. They weren’t as black as they should have been and the cloth choice was most unfortunate. It showed every lump and bubble on a woman’s body. They had a great soloist soprano and you could see the dent where her belly button was. Very distracting. My mom noticed too.

Anyways, afterwards we went to the Temple Bar just a few blocks away and I had the best tuna/provolone panini. Amazing. The salad I hated, but Isaac ate mine. Abe and Jim loved theirs too. I was blown away by that panini sandwich though. I highly recommend it.

Before we went to mom’s to go to the concert, we met with Rijl and Teirnan for lunch, which was great. It is so nice to see her. I had the veggie melt (bagel thing) and it was delicious as always. She had the smoked salmon chowder which was the special and smelled amazing. Then Abe and I each got a chocolate chip cookie and they were almost a foot across! And quite good. We chatted with Rijl for an hour or so. Always so nice to see her. Makes me want to move to Bellingham just so we can hang out more often.

I was looking at houses there. They are a little less expensive than here. There are some really nice ones. I also looked at houses in Northern Maine. There are some super cheap really cool ones. I really want an old house. If I am going to spend that much money, I want to at least get something I really love.

Off to knit Xmas gifts….
