About Me: I don't like Jeff Koons, mushy corn, or the unnecessary diacritical marks the New Yorker adds to words like cooperative. Also, I'm an obsessive compulsive when it comes to crafts. And not just the ordinary kind of obsessive compulsive who needs to have everything even and aligned. No. I've gilded the heads of pins to make sure they looked properly antique. Gilded them. Then coated them in german glass glitter. I am that crazy.

So it’s been forever and a billion years since I last posted. What have I been doing, you ask? Mostly making binders, and clawing my way to being Typo Queen. Seriously, every email I write lately contains at least one really obvious typo. I especially enjoy adding the extra definite article. See, e.g., an email I sent out tonight: “The BestBuy should pay the fee.” I have become Balki Bartokomous.But really, what I wanted you to see was this:
Flowers from Utowa. I had been meaning to post about them for a while, but . . . binders . . . definite articles . . . . In any case, now you have the name of my favorite high concept floral-fashion-cosmetic-design-ur-emporium this side of the lower level of the Takashimaya in Shinjuku. Yesterday I bought a bouquet of dark orange poppies, shaded orange roses, and white rununculus there. I think they’re the only store on earth that sells poppies.
The pictures don’t actually do the arrangements justice. You have to see them for yourself, surrounded in their glorious uber-white 2001 Space Odyssey environment. Also, stick around to explore the spiky clothes of the future. Equally important, the staff is really nice. Especially the florists. They go out of their way to help you, even when you’re obviously diffcult — like me.

Welcome back Mrs. Caterpillar! And what gorgeous arrangements.
Good to see you, Mrs. Caterpillar! I love poppies, and those are beautiful arrangements. And they’re not far from me–how expensive are they, however? 
Hello Mrs. Caterpillar. Good to see you!
grammer aside, i’m impressed you knew how to spell balki’s name! speaking of which, will we be able to pictures from your wedding? i can’t remember if you posted about it or not.
grammer and speling and punxuashion aside (yes, joking on all points), COME BACK ALREADY!
the last one is really appealing to me.
