I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not doing some kind of permanent damage to my shoulder from all the cross-stitching. I came home last night and stitched for about five hours straight.
I'm such a progress whore, what else can I say? I've made the decision to keep changing color threads on my needles and fill in entire areas instead of stitching to oblivion any and all spaces in one color at a time. The upside is that I don't miscount stitches nearly so often (in fact, only once so far, which is phenomenal given how much I've finished). The downside is that I get to see an entire area completed at once and it makes me gung-ho to finish more. This is a bad thing...how? Because my shoulder is achy as is my arm. After the cross-stiching weekend of doom, I had a completely dead arm for a day and a half after the fact. Every time I rotate my shoulder, it cracks for the entire rotation. Time to stop.

I get to go wine-tasting today for free. My former neighbor imports wine and he goes to vendor fairs of a sort to which he's always invited my parents. My mom's booked, so I'm substituting. I should be jolly and wasted (because I don't believe in that spitting-it-out-when-you've-tasted-it shit)--for free! Good wine, too. Then I might do dinner with the Pappy, at which time I will finally get the last forms I need to do taxes (uh, hooray?) and the second disc set for season 1 of Farscape. ivy03 take note: it shall soon be in thy possession.

Re-reading TWoP reviews of Battlestar Galactica makes me hurt for not being able to watch the show every week. Also, what the shit is this seven-month hiatus crap? According to the air dates, the second season started about three months after the first season ended. Really, WTF? The third season better be really, really good. I mean, blows-away-"Pegasus"-and-any-episode-that-came-close-to-being-that-good good.
Which reminds me: I need to find season 2.0 in its entirety for deepredbelle because her reviews of eps will probably kill me so dead. I was reading the TWoP for last week's LOST and man, hers was much more interesting. Yes, it was a fairly boring episode, but at least it wasn't Sawyer-and-Hurley-hunting-frogs boring and STUPID. We'll see if it's new tomorrow. Probably won't be (I am not holding my breath for House tonight either, but, then again, since I'll be out tonight, I bet it is a new episode).
ETA: FUCKER FUCKER FUCKER. Of course it's a new episode tonight! feiran, can you tape it for me?
