I managed to keep all my clothing on this weekend. Go me! We watched some Farscape and The Omen (old) on Friday. Why is it that SF producers/costume designers think that New Rocks mean the future? Insane. The movie was kind of slow and not very scary; I'm curious as to how it compares to the new one. Last night I ripped more CDs to my iTunes ( Read more... )

*I've not been posting much because I haven't felt it. I always read (gotta feed the voyeur in me), but sharing the blandness that is my life just didn't seem like fun ( Read more... )

I'm looking for a skin for my iPod. Anything good out there? I've seen the carbon fiber one, the iGuy, and the ToughSkin. Those are pretty much the ones in the running at the moment, but show me something good and my mind is quickly changed ( Read more... )

So I bought Charisse in the Graphite; I'm hoping the purple sheen is a bit more subtle than in the pictures, as the reviews led me to believe. Even if it's not, though, I think I'll love them. If they're as quick as last time, I should know by Friday. Very impressive for free shipping. I <3 Zappos.com so much that I even wrote a little review ( Read more... )

I laid around on the couch most of today, listening to Jonathan Strange (only 6.5 more hours to go!). I did eventually get up to get zippers for some theoretical skirts, and I got a couple of half-price patterns for a wide variety of skirts. Some A-line and some tiered, gypsy-ish. A step toward more colour and patterns in my life, I think ( Read more... )

I'm tired and hungry. I'm ripping CDs to our shared file so I can put them on Craig (man, this is getting tedious fast, too). I can't find the camera, so I can't show you my sock. I have not much exciting to share actually. I did go to Trader Joe's over my lunch break, where I spent $80 so that I don't have to go out to lunch for a very long ( Read more... )

They finally made it so you could search just for the free programming outside of their Member Audio specials (which I knew they had, since I came across a freebie Neil Gaiman talk last month). I just downloaded a bunch of author interviews, a UN speech from Angelina Jolie, a couple of short stories, and one or two NPR show episodes (like one for ( Read more... )

So Friday I visited Ms Elka in her home to kick off our Knitting Olympics by watching the real Olympics kick off. Which was the weirdest thing ever. Masses of people in the shape of skiers and hearts, dancing cows, people in plastic suits climbing on webbing like spiders. Very very bizarre. But I got my sock started, after three tries. I was ( Read more... )

I said I'd be at the Jade Room tonight. Not going to happen. We had a perfectly lovely dinner at Sekisui (wasabi shumai, shrimp & veggie tempura, red miso soup, a small variety of sushi, hot tea, hot sake) and came home to watch the atrocious Underworld. I got all comfy on the couch, playing with Craig. I added videos (just the ZS ones so far) ( Read more... )

You people need to update more frequently. It is your job to entertain me while I'm working. At least, until the end of today. I think at the new place I'll be on a lot less often. The circulation desk is more of a kiosk, so who knows who could be standing behind me at any time. Plus, rumour has it I'll be much busier even though their ( Read more... )
