ambushed by greens

ambushed by greens, originally uploaded by Dancing Crow.

on the way home from the gallery I stopped in the fabric store to find black thread (honest - that was all I needed) but then I stepped around a corner and found this stack of solid greens. I think it was 14 all told, all subtly different. I don't usually get solids, but these felt... important somehow.

We're watching the Olympic opening ceremonies. Fess up - at what point did you start laughing hysterically? Al's commentary kept interpreting it as Lord of the Rings, although the launching of the tree of life (or whatever it was) stumped him for a minute, the satanic mills, Sauron's tower and the forging of One (fucking enormous) ring set him back on track.

Kenneth Brannagh was nice, even if his beard was painted on. I lost it when the top-hatted gentlemen started... whatever choreographed thing they were trying to demonstrate. I had to breathe into a paper bag.
