I've been such a bum today. It has been somewhat fun, but I feel a little guilty about the work I haven't done, and I feel really guilty about forgetting to turn back the E&M grading that I have done. I just never remember it when I have the opportunity to do it. I suppose I could do it now, but it is dark out, and my hair is wet, and I am only wearing a towel (I bet you all wanted to know that).
I did a little knitting with the little needles Ariel loaned me, but I couldn't find any patterns I liked very much. Apparently to do the tatting-type stuff I want to do I need to learn to crochet, or better yet, I need to do the straight tatting thing with the little what-yah-mah-call-it. Anyway, I've been trying to crochet. It is being more difficult than I had anticipated, and a lot harder than knitting was. I'm having a lot of trouble with end effects, and I seem to be inadvertantly doing various stitches or something to get very uneven looking results. So it has been kind of frustrating.
On the bright side, I spent that time that I was trying to crochet listening to the Return of the King (Pomona Steve loaned it to me on tape, thanks!!). Mostly I haven't been too surporised by anything major, however...
( potential spoilers for those who haven't read it, regards 67% of female characters ) Speaking of which, I've been vaguely wanting to talk a little about how I percieve current relationship expectations and formulations and appropriatenesses and whatnot, and how I disagree with some of them. This would be prompted by some of the silly craziness on the Smallville rerun tonight. However, I'm not going to do that now.
