Some situations at work are making me ragey, and school is making me tired. This, however, makes it a lot better than it should.
(via the lovely Erin, of course)
Via The Lovely Erin:
Listening: Linda Linda Linda soundtrack, the Chak & Tim compilations, and hair rock.
Watching: Yesterday I watched the crappy Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and the awesome Road House while trying to stay cool. Swaziriffic!
Reading: Almost done with His Dark Materials, looking forward to the new Harry Potter next weekend, and then Goldbug Variations. Or Murakami.
Wearing: This summer is all linen, all the time. Also sporting an extra layer of fat, which is less comfy than I'd like.
Wanting: A knitting project good enough to hold my interest, a heat-breaking thunderstorm, and a great date.
Eating: cool strips of red pepper and coffee
So you all know by now that the iPhone comes out on Friday. There is 100% absolutely no reason why I need one, but I want one. Real bad. (Don't worry, I'm saving my nickels and pennies and won't be purchasing a $500 phone.) However, I have been (along with the rest of the world) assuming that the service plan necessary to make use of the iPhone would be prohibitive ... making it easier to not purchase a gadget I don't need.
Alas, alak, the plans are totally reasonable! What is a gadget loving gal to do?
I, um, maybe engaged in a Lost marathon with my Tivo this weekend. Now I find myself sitting at my desk humming "We All Everybody" under my breath.
Cripes. Shoot me now (and find my iPod charger).
So how about you take this survey for the Blog Reader Project? It only takes a minute (or twelve), and you know you are so over work for this week (I know I am). You might as well.
Just click here!
(Yeah, yeah, as noted in the previous most, more interesting stuff coming soon.)
Things I am planning on blogging about. Someday.
Finally! I rent from someone who isn't a slum lord! There may have been a flood, but there are actual professionals taking care of the situation! Promptly! And correctly! Plus, new tile flooring. Also, I am glad in this scenario I am not a homeowner yet.
Just bow to me, Knitting Master. I have triumphed over the toe-up sock short-row heel turn (though I was attempting the toe-up because I wasn't sure if I'd have enough yarn and I was right--my new socks have a very short ankle) (but still!).
Squishy camping rocks, plus, a knee update (teaser! it doesn't like to climb or descend steep inclines!).
School! It's not just to learn stuff for the sake of, um, learning! (still in the planning stages, but grad school is on the horizon) (followed by a fat paycheck) (hopefully)
I have some thoughts on this one book I never read for my (now defunct) book club and recently finished. I should share those.
Dom put this up a few months ago. I just bothered to check, during a moment when I had some time to kill.
