DISMANTLE WHARF

marijke

I did “adieu” and “haute” for a while, but now it’s random.

I don’t think there are plurals or conjugated verbs… so many you *can* give up “cares”?

marijke

So farty. Just an unoaked French white for me please.

Good night bug, I love a creature attuned to the finer things.

Pets should live forever, it’s too sad.

Currently cleaning drains.

Yesterday I cleaned my gardening tools. Some hand snips seemed rusted beyond saving but an overnight soak in 50/50 vinegar and water followed by vigorous wire brushing, wash, dry, and oil and they are saved! Also a very satisfying chore for the garden people.

The only show I ever went to totally by myself was a Low show in 2011 at Aladdin Theater and it was so nice.

I saw Doug Martsch two nights ago at Kenton Club and have been reliving some 2002 memories. Very nice, very fun.

Half Covid future/half gardening... it's 110 and there's a wild hot wind tearing through. I flew a bunch of tarps to help protect plants through our heat wave, but the wind keeps ripping them off of the fence posts. Was just outside trying to batten down once again. What even is gardening? And when ...

Moths are still here and depressing me. All clothes in bins, much dry-cleaned, all rugs piled outside and going to the cleaner. I still can't find where they were hanging out or what they were eating, but I stirred up a few when I pulled the rugs outside so maybe one was a culprit. But now I'm excit...

The only celeb crush I can think of is Matt Damon. He's not the most handsome man in the world but he seems nice and smart, he stays out of the tabloids, and he looks like my neighbor Cassidy from childhood. I like good boys. I don't think I really have crushes on celebs... definitely did not have t...

marijke

aww thanks Yea... sweet peas are confusing in my experience! And California gardening is such a different game. My mom wanted me to help her plant up her front yard in the 100 degree Chico heat a few weeks ago. It was a real dance of watering, pop-up tent and shade umbrella to keep everyone living. ...

It's such a nice yard time! The matilija poppy planted last year had its first flower open during our big rain dump this weekend. https://imgur.com/myEqCkt And so many nice roses are blooming, wild and english https://imgur.com/zf0P4S6 And a sweet pea meadows gave me last year reseeded itself... it'...

I have closet moths. : (

Lots of time hot washing and steaming and putting away in bins. I hope they all die quietly and uneventfully.

The cumulative trauma @infopetal... I am not a crying person and I sobbed on Sunday spontaneously. Some of it overwhelm from reentry and some of it feeling deep grief that we seemed to learn nothing, that maybe we'll never learn anything, and our raging attachment to freedom/choice/ownership will de...

Congrats! A garden store, very jealous!

I dreamt last night I had a tarantula safety pinned to my lower lip.

Have been vaxxed, but also I think the spring is just a squirrelly time?

I love dreaming, I tell my boo sometimes "night night I'm going to my REAL LIFE". So rude!

Wild mustard, yum.

Eat weeds!

The summer I was 16 one of my father's old math students who was a true weirdo came to crash on our couch. A year prior a big valley oak had fallen in the backyard and was left for a long time; by the time Bill showed up it had been cleared and the yard was very wild. He taught me that the backyard ...

marijke

I'm trying to learn the names of the weeds in the yard. The most ubiquitous here are herb robert (death comes quickly/stinky bob) and hairy bittercress which has little seed pods that explode and launch seeds everywhere. Bittercress is edible, bitter. There's lots of purple dead-nettle - also edible...

Just watched The Souvenir and Toni Erdmann... thank you infopetal, a movie recommendation angel.

It would look nice on you. It's this shape: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/294071050645434934/ But this color: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/294071050645434942/ Things come and things go! I do want to get inspired to sell on ebay though. As an avid goodwill shopper I have things I've bought with the ...

Ahh, ok. I’ve looked at realreal for nicies but they take a big cut. I wondered whether poshmark or other clothing specific sites worked better. I have a handful of unworn but hard to get rid of things. Metallic dries van noten sandals that are just a tiiiny bit small. A Shaina mote dress with tags ...

Not wearing anything special today since I went on a long bike ride ending at work, but I've been clearing out the closet. I made a big sell pile, fixed some things (cashmere holes, missing buttons), washed things, and it's nice to look at a newly organized closet. I realized I don't have a single p...

marijke

Also... never knew it was Linden trees that smelled that way! My sister's namesake.

marijke

I'm enjoying starting to have good smells on my walks with the dog. Lots of blooming daphne. It's not my favorite plant to look at but the smell is strong and wonderful. I've found a few edgeworthia to sniff - not many of them around, but they smell daphne-like and are nice to look at. I'm thinking ...

marijke

Hm. More than getting getting dressed I want to sell all of the things in my closet, but can't find the motivation.

I haven’t seen her first film but definitely watch The Rider. It’s slow, beautiful (shot in the badlands), and everyone plays themself (themselves? Their self? I don’t know none of these seem like words) in the movie. I liked Nomadland just alright by comparison. So many things were great but I coul...

marijke

I’m excited to watch Nomadland tonight. Ready for some quiet, beautiful vistas.

Her film The Rider was my favorite of 2017. Bless you Chloe Zhao

I hope your heat and water come on soon @alex444422220000 It feels like to stay in Portland we'll need to have generators and gas masks and air purifiers. I was going to go check the mail at the office downtown today, but it was the epicenter of the major gas leak and was cordoned off for blocks. I ...

I'd like to be a cool 16 year old from Atlanta who can sing. She kept coming up on Spotify when I'd listen to other things and at first I really didn't like her voice, but now I love her. Just a little weirdo.

marijke

Oh lots of underwear fun! This all got started cause I got myself a few Arq cropped tanks for working out and then I got deep into organizing my exercise clothes and then somehow everything else in my life, including sad underwear drawer. It's full of old cheap GAP bikinis and then things too weird/...

marijke

I wanna behold

marijke

Do you love your underwear?

It's that perpetual time of life when I need to replace all my daily wear underwear and I'm daunted.

marijke

I do think the gasoline rebate ep is solid gold.

marijke

Yea... same with Nathan for You. I think both shows rely on the main character's performative sincerity. I feel like in that genre on the kindness scale you have Joe Pera Talks to You on the far end of nice, How to With John Wilson sits somewhere in the middle, and Nathan For You on the other end wh...

Turns out Armie Hammer is even weirder than a giant loaf of bread! Who knew? US.

Yep, the ridiculous frock flick from the year of my birth.

So beautiful! That was very strange... I have not seen or thought of that movie in 30 years but it was instantaneously recognizable. It has such a painterly quality, I guess it impressed itself on me deeply! I also conflate this movie with Watership Down and the Disney short The Old Mill. They are a...

Oh man. That sounds super obnoxious when I read it written back!

I do sign checks for work, it’s construction, still pretty old school. We receive faxes still. :/

I’ve heard people rave about muji pens, gonna try those! So far I enjoy writing with the le pen in the morning.

marijke

Eeeeep no. I just bought a safer craft thing. Like 5 different green pens. I dunno, just wanted to write in green and started wondering which pen is best. Some people go so deep on their feelings about pens! I bought one green Le Pen yesterday, then ordered 4 more different kinds on the internet - P...

Yes. I've been wondering how I can trick David Austin Roses into hiring me as their controller so I can live in England and work surrounded by the world's most beautiful roses.

What about Ljubljana? I'm curious! I loved what I've seen of Central Europe.

Right. In a canyon (bad), near a creek (good), near a place that recently burned like crazy (near term good / long term bad?). I've been feeling disconnected from Portland for years now, wondering what's next. I came close to buying my grandparents' house (where I lived as a kid) a few years ago, wh...

15 acres in butte creek canyon, so beautiful, but a big fire hazard. I guess you get insurance, clear around the house and have an exit plan.

Just rewatched the scene from ballet and it sure is. Robert Ruggieri did the score... I have no clue who that is.

marijke

Could it be this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_2T0a4zIbY

Ballet was 95 but wikipedia says the footage was the 92 season. NYT says he created Serious Pleasures for ABT in 1992. Check the section from 8-9 minutes. There are some slides in the final section starting around min 8.
