asheville people's market

this sunday i'll be selling my world famous peanut butter and fluff stash safes at the new market downtown. come say hola.





the press release:

"The Asheville People's Market will be open every Sunday, June through October from 11am to 4pm in the Parking Lot across from Rosetta's Kitchen (Broadway's, Nova, the Emerald Lounge, and TV Eye) at 93 N. Lexington Ave. Parking is available near the Food Lion skate park and under the 240 overpass bridge, and on the street on Lexington Ave.

In the spirit of the markets of the world and the generations, i proudly introduce, The Asheville People's Market. It is a flea-market style place to buy art, crafts, and homemade items from Asheville artists as well as bartering for and haggling over for yard sale items, lost treasures, and other peoples un-loved functionals. It is also the place for spending a social Sunday shopping outside of the typical consumer loop.

So bring the kids, the old folk, a sun hat, a few bucks, and come on down to see what treasure you might dig up and what necessities you can skip at the big box stores! Keep it local, Keep it real!

Vendor spaces will be available for 10$, on a first come first serve basis and are open to arts, crafts, handmades, and personal used yard sale and flea market items. We will judge re-sale vendors and informational tables on a individual basis. For more detailed information, or any questions or comments, please e-mail me at rosettastarshine@gmail.com

Whooo Hoooo, this will be so much fun!
Love, Rosetta Star"

so that will be fun. and my stash jars are trustworthy, i just got this ebay feedback from 2888tunnel - DEALING with YOU is a GREAT FEELING !!!!!!!

i also got this feedback: The shorts had either dog or cat hair all over them-I washed and they were fine. from donnaleighwebb

crumbier cakes

now i'm thinking it's better to have two slightly crumbier cakes than one perfect cake. because who wants a perfect cake anyway? it's the flaws that make it charming.
as my wise indonesian friend diana said:
Usually the different one make people more interested (God is so fair) like you say Nacho have smaller head and lighter weight but God give Nacho more charm that make you easily fall in love to him ^ ^. I feel Nacho charm too like I said I love his sweet look....


and you could give away some of the extra slightly crumbier cake.

"the more you try to have your cake and eat it too, the crumbier it gets"
pearl baptist church, iron station, north carolina

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Have_one's_cake_and_eat_it_too says:
"The reversal of this expression helped in the identification of the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. In the Unabomber's "Manifesto", it was written and signed "...you can't eat your cake and have it too. To gain one thing you have to sacrifice another." His brother David Kaczynski was able to identify Ted after reading the "Manifesto". Ted and their mother both used the more accurate but older and less popular use of the phrase."

i'm with the unabomber, it makes more sense to me saying "you can't eat your cake and have it too." either way, it's crumby, and i want both.

"let us go"


Somewhere in between Mobile and Montgomery
sittin’ in a gas station
trying to make some money

so we could go on down to the Gulf of Mexico
Let us go, let us go, let us go

Last night I dreamt about the girl that I left behind
If she was drunk I must have been
goin’ deaf and blind

and if I’m in Georgia again, I’ll get her by my side
and we will go, we will go, we will go

Someone’s lookin’ out for me
and he’s playing jokes and he's actin' awful mean
but he cannot stop my wonderin’
He cannot stop my wanderin’

Fixed my eye against the sky, was worried ‘bout tornados
but I spent the night in a trailer park
just a mile up the road

and if I could survive that without a cyclone attack
I would go, I would go, and I would go

I would go, and I would go, and I would go
I would go, and I would go, and I would go
I would go, and I would go, and I would go

amputee's appetite

i wonder if a person's appetite goes down after having a limb amputated in relation to the lower body mass & fewer calories it would take to support that mass.

christ did a cow shit in here?

here's the opening line to an email i got this week:

Hi Heather!

It's Emily R##s..you know the one that said "Christ did a cow shit in here?" in a nice little play and yes I believe you peed your pants on your parents dining room chair...that was me.



her family of 3 girls around the ages of my brother and me, i was oldest by a couple years, Emily was youngest by a few years, would come visit for a couple weeks in the summer and we would go to their house at bonnet shores in rhode island for a couple weeks in the summer too and we would do plays. the one she's talking about she was maybe 4 or 5 years old and i was about 8th grade and she knocked on the front door in a skit from 'kentucky fried movie' for a fake air freshener commercial, she had white hair like an angel and knocked on the door and said 'christ did a cow shit in here' and it was so funny i peed on the chair.

it was either this year or the following summer.



emily is on the left, the sign says 'politics in review,' my brother has blue eyebrows.
