Mid-Flail Rambly Bits
Oct. 11th, 2005 01:29 pm-- This is my month of flail, what with all the mid-week Jewish holidays. I'm around but not. Please assume, for the month of October, that I am woefully behind in e-mail and reading LJ, and please do not take it as a slight if I don't comment/reply with anything approaching timeliness.
-- Work is flail inducing: deadline at month-end, right after the end of the holidays, plus -- as a bonus -- my division is being sold (again).
-- Beta Reader Appreciation Day (BRAD) is 13 October. Usually, I'd post something then, thanking all those who have beta-read for me. However, this year it falls on Yom Kippur. This from last year applies just as much this year. I thank you all and apologize that I will not be able to recognize you on the appointed day.
-- I thought of a title (probably funny to no more than 5 people on my friends list) for an Israeli musical: Poogy and Bess
-- Anyone know of any good patterns for hand-knitting gloves? I've done mittens and fingerless gloves, and now I'd like to try fingered gloves, but I can't find any good patterns online. I have a book coming to the library for me, though.
-- Muscle memory is a fascinating thing. Since I broke my glasses in NYC, I've been wearing my contact lenses to work almost every day. Last Thursday was Tzom Gedaliah, and since I wasn't drinking any water, I didn't want to put my lenses into more-dehydrated-than-usual eyes. Since I wear bifocals, I wear reading glasses with my contacts when I'm doing computer work, but I can't really see when wearing my reading glasses. I found myself removing my glasses whenever I was planning to get up from my desk, since my muscles know that that's a precursor to, say, going to pick things up off the printer.
