In which I’ve been knitting.

I came down with a knitting bug, and decided I had to get a bunch of old stuff off of my needles. Some of these projects have been in progress for over a year, and that’s just wrong. So I finished some slippers, two hats, and am nearly finished with one of those sheep I was so into about two years ago.

I’ll be mailing out knitted items to two different households soon! I feel so… accomplished! (Yes, mom, the slippers I promised you over a year ago will be on their way soon.)

My schedule has moved entirely to India time. I’m up all night, and I sleep all day. Sometimes I get up around noon and eat lunch, and then go back to bed. I’m such a rock star! (If only I had a rock star’s clothes, groupies, drugs, and deluxe tour bus. That would be tits!)

As there have been no jobs in any of the papers, I haven’t applied for anything this week at all. I was offered a temp part-time gig painting, but I don’t think I’ll take it. I don’t have any clothes I can afford to get paint on, and I don’t know how to paint. On the other hand, beggars can’t be choosers. Hmm. Maybe I’ll paint for a bit.

I splurged tonight: I had artichoke-spinach dip at the Dead Cock. That stuff is hideously good. Other gross things I’m indulging in are Justin Timberlake’s latest album, cans of icy cold Coke, and late night television. I’m disgusting.

    Tits! My twin brother used to say that all the time. Love it. Just checking in. Sounds like you are WAY more productive than I have been lately. You are blogging AND knitting.

    Around here, they shorten it to “T,” like: that’s so fuckin’ t! -m

    I want your lifestyle too! guh. I’ve been crocheting the same blanket for over a year now. Sad.

    I don’t think I’ll ever knit a blanket for that very reason: I like to feel good about it, not, like, omfg this has been going on since forEVah! -m

    Yay for knitting! Artichoke spinach anything sounds total bleh (and hazardous to knitting, should it spill itself onto current works in progress).

    You’re so wrong. Artichoke spinach anything sounds YUM! Go bake me some cookies. -m

    I worked for a painting contractor for 6 months or so in I.C. It was pretty fun actually. Especially since my boss was prone to middle of the day doobage breaks which turned into long lunches, sometimes with Scrabble.

    I suck at Scrabble, and that pisses me off ’cause language is my bitch yo. *sigh* -m

    A knitting bug? Can you take amoxicillin for that?

    I feel a little dirty listening to JT’s new album too, but there’s some decent shit on that cd. I could do without a couple of the straight-up r&b songs, but the hip-hop tracks are –to use your word– tits.

    I like “Damn Girl.” That’s some old-school yumminess! -m
