of blobs, dawgs, and biking.
I am feeling a little bit blah. Here's why~ I have eye blobs that are not disappearing. In order to fix the problem that causes eye blobs I have to have lasers zapped into my eyes. Tomorrow I have to have more laser treatment to my left eye, last week I had my right eye done (and didn't expect to, thus I discovered a new extreme sport~ sunset dilated pupil bike riding. Try it for an honest to god adrenalin rush!
At rush hour! Special Knit-A-Log thanks to Dave for leading us to safety!). My right eye is apparently still bleeding, or was, as of last Friday. Sorry if this entry brings anyone down, like there isn't enough stuff to bring one down.
Thus I am having trouble generating enthusiasm for much of anything, even yarn, and am running out of gray for a certain pair of stripey socks. Hm. I'm seeing a mismatched pair in someone's future.
In any event, its hard not to be cheerful with dogs around. I give you, just in time for Around the Coyote, Marcel's Gallery of Doggy Delight~
With thanks to Uncle Wininger for photography as usual, and also Canine Special Guest Stars ~ well, we don't know the shih tzu's name, but Knit-A-Log readers may be familiar with Lucy the Boxer and of course Marcel's downstairs neighbor, Skippy (note regal tail posture!)
Also, just fyi, Printworks Gallery has an opening tomorrow night for Audrey Niffenegger's show of paintings, drawings, and prints called Mr. Death's Ephemeral Pageant. In case you didn't get the postcard, the one with the extra creepy, toothless, childlike skeleton singing "a little song of the womb" oh, with millions of little music notes above its poor trepanned little mishapen skull, its from 5-8:00 pm at 311 West Superior Street.
You've got to go to it!
Also, don't forget the Anything That's Ridable 1st Annual Wicker Park Pedal Pushers Parade! Here are the details, for anyone interested~
Saturday 5pm: 1st Annual Wicker Park Pedal Pushers Brigade Parade. A "RIDE ANYTHING THAT IS RIDABLE" parade, with the one exception being no motorized vehicles. Trick out your unicycle, tricycle, bike, big wheel, or create your own contraption. Come in costume, paint, drag, plain clothes, or your favorite ensemble. If creativity isn't your forte, no worries, pull into our tented garage and get overhauled by local artists, body painters and bike mechanics.
Currently I am finding myself at something of a loss for costume ideas and am open to suggestion, if its simple enough to be accomplished between now and Saturday morning. Otherwise, my plan mostly revolves around some fake leaves and birds and a hot pink nightgown (courtesy of a cowboy, I still love it even though it doesn't fit! Never fear,it will be lovely floating down Milwaukee Ave. If I get it together in time!)
I wanted to make a glittery swan hat but its not happening.
Oh, I am so uninspired.
Somebody please give me a kick in the butt.

Nuts... I made it to some of the gallery openings but not the printworks one! I wish I had now. It's Audrey Niffenegger who wrote the Time traveler's wife?!
