Hey. I love the 1920's. They were awesome. The woman's fashion was amazing. I wish I could pull of some of those looks!

Well, I totally failed at my post a day scheme. I've posted three times and its February 15th. Maybe I'll try once a month. Or maybe I'll just post whenever and not really care when. Who knows? But it doesn't really matter because nobody reads it anyway.

An Introduction of Sorts.....

I do feel much like Winnie ther Pooh as I think out what I want to say right now! I'm trying to make an Explaination for my blog type thing.
I'll start out simple. My name is Romulus, I'm was born and raised in the magical forrest that is the midwest, now I am here. A dessert compaired to what was once my home. I love vintage things, pretty dresses, long skirts, cool tshirts, mohawks, fauxhawks, the Beatles, nature, long haired chihuahuas, Sufjan Stevens, pianos, old black and white pictures, my jobs, quilting, chain maille, sledding.... I know there's more that I can't think of. Oh, yeah. Tv shows. Monk. Green Acres. Leave It To Beaver. Andy Griffith Show. Dick Van Dyke. I love bright days when I can stay home and do crafts, cook plain and simple food and go for a walk. I love it when I can sew something from a pattern and it doesn't take me thirteen trys to get it right. I love taking a piece of fabric and transforming it into something amazing. I love it when I run out of bobbin thread. I love going to work in the morning and being able to hang out with the coolest people on the planet Earth. I love playing Apples To Apples and Mennonite Maddness with my Friends. I love the fact that I'm Graduated and don't have to do school no more.

How to go from Wii to Green Acres.....

For my second post of the evening I chose my favorite topic. Tv. I love it. Its good for so many things. I can play wii bowling. Or I can take watch my favorite show, Green Acres. What antics will the poople of heeter- I mean the people of Hooterville get into this time? Will the episode play out the same as last time or will I catch something new? Perhaps I'll plug in a Monk dvd. Will Adrian be overcome by another phobia? Will Natalie (or Sharona!) be able to hand him his wipes when he needs them? Everything is new, no matter how many times I watch it. I love it.

Or perhaps I'll sew something tonight. Crocet? Knit? Applique? Maybe I'll start something I'll never finish....Maybe it'll sit in my closet for a year before it complete. But who cares? Life is short and it needs to be filled with anything and everything I can think of. From Monk to my sewing machine. (Elias Howe, you were amazing!!!)

Enjoying the Classics......

I must admit it. I don't really like books. Okay, I love cool looking old books, but I don't read that much. I might read a Monk book and I have read Jasper Fforde, but that's about it. I need a few good laughs, and an old stuffy boring book just doesn't do it.
That's until I found Mark Twain. The Story Of The Good Little Boy is my favorite short story in the history of Ever. Its nothing short of a masterpiece. Little Jacob Blivens is such a good little boy who wants to end up in the Sunday School books about good little children. He dosen't cheat. He doesn't lie. He's written his deathbed speach for when he's gotten his death of cold saving a classmate from drownding. And the best thing about it is the ending. It is just plain weird!
Read it! You can find it online easy.
