Tuesday Rambly Bits

[gnomi]

-- Too much to do, too little brain, so I ramble. :-)

-- Little brain comes, most likely, from this being the second day in a row that will have two 4:30s that I am awake for.

-- Spent a lovely couple of hours yesterday knitting and chatting with madknits.

-- Related to the above, Note to self: somehow mark needles to make them recognizable or make sure not to be working on same-size needles as other person when showing off projects. The "Is this your size 8, 10-inch bamboo needle or is it mine?" problem rears its head more frequently than one would expect.

-- The sun made a brief appearance this morning but now it's clouding up again. According to the National Weather Service, all this sun is doing for us is warming us enough to give us big thunderstorms this afternoon. Thanks a lot, sun. ;-)

-- A number of times recently, I have stared at all the books we own and the books I have out from the library and *still* I can't find anything I want to read. It is a result of this, I believe, that I currently have six books with active bookmarks in them.

-- I'm the same way with knitting projects. As I said last night to madknits, I like having a couple of easy, relatively mindless projects and some more complex projects going at the same time so that I can alternate, depending on how my brain is feeling.

-- This, this, and this are mostly for elul_3. And so's this (YouTube link).

-- Three, possibly four people reading this will understand, but I've been having a musical crossover problem. "Stay, Fred'ric, Stay" keeps merging with "Stay, Janet, stay, Janet/ Stay upon the stage, Janet."

If elul_3 is interested, I could Sneakernet her the episode you've referenced...

She and I were talking about the visual merits of the guest star.

And we've got a copy of it, as well, so we can slide it to her if she decides to watch it...

My brain feels all little today too.

I'm having the post-Boston trip blues, but feeling a little better today.

I hope your day just gets better and better!

Thanks! :-D

I had so much fun with you, Michael, and Ken!!! I wish I lived closer!

Stay, Janet, Stay
You have a need for fame.
No monkeys have a claim
To make you change your name,
Stay, Janet, Stay!

And I think sure, Mabel,
Future is secure, Mabel.
Retirement will do just fine.
But with a dad-in-law who simply cannot sleep
I can't abandon my sworn duty like a creep!

(It's not particularly helping with my crossover problems, but very very cute.)

you could put little penguin stickers on the ends of your needles to mark them as yours....

it's still sunny in belmont! bite your tongue! if it does storm and we get lightning like we got last night i wouldn't mind, tho. that was some fine atmospheric electricity.

Ooh, penguin-marked needles. That might just be the trick! *Everything* goes better with penguins. :-)

And now it's hazy-sunny here in Cambridge. The clouds have gone away, but now it's that hazy you get in August when the humidity is out of control. Since I'm in a hermetically-sealed box of an office building, I cannot remark on the actual humidity, but it's what I'm reminded of.
