I haven’t really been here in a while. I haven’t been taking care of this place. Defintely not.
So should I just let it go or start the cleaning for Christmas? It’s not like it has any real purpose other than to have somewhere to deposit my verbal diarrhoea.
I’m not sure, I kind of like the idea of blogging, I can never just blog tho…
Clocks go back tonight.
Usually a cause for celebration but it doesn’t make any difference to me this year as I am day off tomorrow. Pah! Still, I can stay up later reading tonight and I might have a chance of waking up at a semi-reasonable hour tomorrow.
I have been playing and reading for 24 hours and I’m still way too enamoured of my new toy to give a sensible and dis-passionate review of it.
Simply put
I’m completely converted to e-books. I ain’t never buying a print version again unless it’s not available on e-book.
I love my new toy.
I promise I will tell you all why at a later date. For now, I’m having too much fun!
I got the job! *doing little snoopy dance in celebration*
I won’t be able to spend as much time watching tv, reading or knitting but hey, I’ll be able to pay the bills this month! Woot!
I’m bereft.
I sped through ‘Dead Man Rising’ and now I have to wait until Waterstones deposits the next installment on my front door which is going to take 3 – 5 days.
Dagnammit, why didn’t I pace myself. I have absolutley no discipline.
Now, I am going to have to distract myself with something else when all I want is to get on with the next installment of Dante Valentine’s twisted life. Humph.
Would re-reading the first book again be construed as overkill, obsessive perhaps? Ahh who cares, it’s a story. I’m loving it, I’m gonna re-read it.
No to the jobs. I think I am aiming too low.
Here goes another round of applications……sigh.
So I finished the scarf I was making to distract myself from the Eternal Cardigan. My sister has been on my case about it so although I want to, I am NOT going to start on something with my fantastic Noro yarn that I bought the other day.
I’m thinking a hat, scarf and gloves set for me, this time. But I think I’d like to crochet the hat. Anybody point me in the direction of a nice hat pattern? I should just wait until I get into Ravelry. Only 2900 people to go in front of me. *sigh*
It did turn into a bit of a sausage which annoyed me, but it worked out quite well as you couldn’t see the wrong side then. My sister also said it made the scarf much cosier so a win all round.
If anyone wants the pattern, give me a holler in the comments. It’s really quite easy.
Finished Object: Loop Scarf
Yarn: Wendy Fusion in Juniper Berries (158)
Needles: 5.5mm
Bullet points of some wee things in my head.
Saw the first two episodes this week and was pleasantly surprised. I did see the original two-hour pilot and was bored rigid by it, so I am glad to see they improved it ten-fold by cutting it down, making it leaner and tighter. The second episode built on a solid introduction. I love Lena Headey in the title role. I have been a fan of hers from her early, early days. Linda Hamilton left some pretty big shoes to fill and I think she is doing that admirably. No doubt there will be all the Terminator aficionados who disagree. I’ll definitely be tuning in until Fox ruin it somehow.
I finally saw the trailer where John Barrowman frenches James Marsters.
Blew. My. Mind.
I can’t really say anymore than that at the moment.
Season Three is definitely the season of LINC! He has really surprised me this season becoming much more than the one-dimensional, mono-syllabic grunt he has always been portrayed as. Who thought I would come round to the idea that Dominic Purcell could act. I still haven’t forgiven him for Blade III but I no longer loathe him. And he has put his pecs away. Finally!
A guilty pleasure which has returned but without Johnny! I am not sure how it’s going to survive without Johnny Keogh (Ralf Little) but I will watch it until it gives me a reason not too. Which hopefully won’t be anytime soon.
K-Fed was not as awful as I thought he would be. I wonder if it’s really him singing?
