highlyeccentric1. So I saw Star Trek. It was GLEE. If you have any fondness for sci-fi at all, RUN DON'T WALK.
2. Subsequently, I acquired me a Lucy for the evening, and kept her awake until some silly hour talking pointless crap. This was fun, although not necessarily good for either of our sleep debts.
3. I caught a bus with her this morning as far as the city, and went to Lincraft to buy buttons. I came home with a Teach-yourself-to-knit kit and very pink yarn. Fuschia, if you're generous.. The instructions are incomprehensible, but with the aid of YouTube, I have succeeded in knitting a wonky pink rectangle! I appear to be knitting one row and purling the other, entirely by accident - instead of knitting the second row back right-to-left I turned it around and did it left-to-right. This does not match up to what my instructions say is a purl stitch (they say turn it around and then stitch left-to-right with the right needle coming through on top instead of underneath. This is odd, because I didn't think you HAD to turn it around in order to purl - I remember learning to knit one purl one as a kid. But whatever, I'll ask youtube later), but it does get a nice reversey pattern happening. I shall continue with this, until such time as I have a wonky pink scarf. I am dropping stitches like they're going out of fashion, but I appear to be MAKING stitches accidentally too, at a greater rate, so it's going to be a wonky pink TRIANGULAR scarf at this rate.
People keep telling me I need a non-academic hobby. Knitting seems like fun. And maybe I could make one of those Ravenclaw bags eventually. BESIDES. Yarn = texture. I love textured things.
4. I'm editing a friends' essay. It's 20 000 words long. It should be 6-8000. *headdesk*
5. I made spag bol! I love cooking, have I mentioned that? Tomorrow I'm going to get out cookbooks and decide on exciting things to cook through the week, because I'm sick of cooking the same two or three dishes around in circles.
6. Also, I'm listening to Rent (Motion picture OST). I'd forgotten how much I LOVE that show. Lucy, add it to the list of things I need to inflict upon you at some point.
7. HANG ON.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
phrasemuffin, did I see you say that you'd proposed bare to SUDs? HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU? P.S. your birthday present is way easier than Lucy's. Can't get a sense of how long the story's trying to be, though, so I'm not sure how far into it I am.
