[I think adults are just children who owe money]

Yesterday I got my sock yarn from Pixie Riot’s Yarn Oddities. So pretty! Plus, it came with magnets & a stitch marker. Sweet!

Then today, because apparently I need something to watch while I do all this knitting, I stopped by a local video store that’s going out of business. Dangerous. Though it was only $35 for the stack, which is pretty sweet.

On VHS:

  • All I Wanna Do
  • Beautiful Girls
  • Party Girl
  • Peter’s Friends
  • Tapeheads

On DVD

  • Before Sunset
  • Hero
  • Imagine Me & You
  • Invasion
  • Limbo

Oops. It could have been worse, though. I didn’t look through the boxes of $25 out-of-print DVDs at all. I have a few brains. Just not many.

[I’m talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude!]

I’ve started enough online journals in my time, that you’d think I’d have the first post thing down to a fine art. This is not true.

Right now, I can tell you these things. As I am writing this post, I am watching The Big Lebowski, and every single time I watch it, it gets better. It is entirely possible, by the way, that I own a “Little Lebowski Urban Achiever” tshirt. I am unwilling to confess at this time.

If I wasn’t messing around with code, I’d be knitting. I have two different pairs of socks in progress right now. This is a carefully-considered plan. I was in England for two weeks last month, and I wanted to have a) small projects, b) a project I didn’t have to think about, and c) a project that would challenge me a bit more when I was in the mood. Obviously the solution to this is two different pairs of socks. What? It was obvious to me!

Socks in question: Monkey Socks in Socks That Rock and Toe-up Jaywalkers in Knitpicks Sock Memories.

And why am I getting myself organized over here again? I’ve gotten fed up with Six Apart/Livejournal, where I used to spend most of time. However, recently they’ve started banning users with no warning, no recourse, and little relevance to their Terms of Service in general. I feel like this is no longer a venture I want to be involved in, so I’m back over here.

This aggression will not stand, man!
