Wednesday Morning Rambly Bits
Oct. 18th, 2006 09:26 am--
dpolicar and I were talking yesterday, and he used the word "talky." I then, in response, used the word "thinky." While my boss, who witnessed this conversation, had no apparent problem with "talky," she snarked at me for the use of "thinky." Despite this,
dpolicar knew exactly what I meant by "thinky."
-- I need more blouses appropriate for fall weather. I hate clothing shopping. This is a dilemma of overwhelming proportions.
-- This has been running through my head since some time yesterday morning. And I don't think it's connected with any brainfolk (though it could be Avi). Caused by reading about current events? Possible YJ flashback? Who knows. It's an obscure song from an obscure Israeli movie.
-- Either the Saint Louis major league baseball team or the Arizona NFL team has to change its name to the Ordinals. I'm just saying.
-- So, so looking forward to having an actual weekend this weekend.
-- I knit almost a whole pair of socks -- I had a completed sock and all but 2 inches of the foot of the second before I had to start the toe decreases done -- but then I set that project aside and didn't pick it up again for almost 2 years. This, to me, said that the yarn really, really didn't want to be socks. So I frogged the socks and am reknitting the yarn into gloves. I've finished the first and am now working on the second. I think the yarn is happier being gloves.
-- This weekend is the Head of the Charles Regatta. I'm planning to stay as far away from the river as possible.
-- A conversation with
beths_stanley prompted me to check out Usenet posts of mine at groups.google.com, especially in a group I was particularly active in back in the 90s. Wacky-freaky experience, but to some extent it made me nostalgic.
-- I may be guilty of rampant abuse of little yellow sticky notes. I blame
byrne and
tygerseye.
