Grr.
Did not write tonight. Instead, started work on the current project, only to break a needle. Then a second one four inches later, both of them hitting the walking foot. Given that I was having problems with the walking foot on the kitten quilt too, I think I may need a new one. As well as more needles. ^_^;;
After giving that up for the night, I sat down and read through two of the three books I'd checked out of the library. The first was Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs which I got for nostalgia's sake; the second was Lance Bass's memoir Out of Sync, which I got for curiosity's sake. I don't know if it's ghostwritten or not, but I like the writer's voice almost as much as I dislike the voice of the guy who did the introduction. Yes, I appreciate that his coming out as gay was a big, important thing in his life. I admire him for it. That said, it doesn't need to be capitalized and have a flag waving behind it. I dislike any movement that's shoved in my face, whether it be Gay Rights, Feminism, or If You Don't Believe In Jesus You Will Burn In Hell Like The Sinner You Are. I respect all of these political and cultural movements and more, but the moment they start forcing their agendas on me, acting like I'm not an intelligent person capable of reaching their conclusions on my own, they overstep their boundaries, adding insult to poor manners. But as I said, I like the memoir itself....
