Sunday Oddments
First off, ultra mega super happy birthday to oddharmonic. Congratulations on making it 'round the sun again, especially through what seems to have been a rather intense year for you. I hope the coming one is a million and five times better, and full of happiness and love and health.
I woke up late today. I remember being in that pleasant waking/dreaming state and thinking that I'd get up just as soon as that alarm went off. Eventually I checked for said alarm and realized that I must have turned them off (I set 3 on regular days, 4 on important ones) as it was now 1pm. GRRRR. (These are the reasons I'm eagerly awaiting a phone call from the doctor from the sleep lab next week.)
I've done *some* work on my syallbus but it's not done yet. Sigh.
Got involved in a meta discussion on whether or not Dean Winchester is a feminist. The trouble with the question is not the obvious (that is, based on the character of Dean) but rather on the definition of feminist, which is always the trouble with a discussion of feminism.
I've also been spinning some bamboo/merino, which has been lovely.
And I've photographed 6 skeins of yarn in preparation for listing them on Etsy (one each day this week, basically.) I'll probably mention it here (and definitely on Twitter) when each is listed. I've started writing the listings for them, too.
As you can see (from the location box) I'm not at Flurije's house watching Supernatural. She has to write a syllabus, too, so we mutually decided to postpone the marathon 'til tomorrow.
Speaking of Supernatural, I've just ordered another 5 postcards (one mailed each day this week) for the Vancouver offices... I should probably stop, since they cost $1.40 each, and I'm not exactly flush. But... it's fun. And I heard through the grape-vine from two people who know people in said offices that these cards were well received. (I mailed 4 actual yarn!chesters a few weeks ago, but haven't heard anything about them.) If anyone *else* out there is interested in receiving a Yarn!chester postcard, that could be arranged. :D
In Plain Sight is on at 10, so that makes me happy. I shall likely continue spinning. I'm having some mental blocks about ami!Mary.
I'm sleepy. Bedtime will, I think, be relatively soon after 11, although I might work on my syllabus a bit more first. (They're due, as far as I know, at 5pm.)
