Oh, I'm so glad to have new TV back again! Right now I'm watching Boardwalk Empire, which is surprisingly interesting even though it might as well have "Emmy Bait" in the opening credits. C'mon. HBO + Costume Drama + Scorsese + Big Splashy Production = Of course it's going to win every category for which it's eligible. I'll admit that I can get ( Read more... )

1. Per the suggestions on last night's post, I dropped by Old Navy and was surprised to find a swimsuit that fits fine, if not perfectly. And if it fits *me*, then that's further proof that ON sizing is screwed up. ;) Even better, I found out at the register that it was 30% off. That's the third time in as many days that I've gotten a surprise ( Read more... )

1. All my knitting this week seems to have given me a touch of tendinitis in the middle finger of my right hand. It's fine when I curl my fingers slightly in a natural position, but I feel shooting pains when I make a fist or extend it. (Guess I won't be flipping anyone off soon!) It's not serious enough for the emergency room, and I can't get ( Read more... )

Although 30 Rock is a shell of its former glory, I loved last night's episode because of Michael Sheen! Yay! So delightful to see him there, given that I'm developing a minor crush on him ( Read more... )

1. Wow, thanks for all the snowflakes! Seeing them lined up on my profile page is a lot of fun. :)

2. ( Girly TMI. I mean it. )

1. Much to my chagrin, I am watching Fox in hopes that they'll show a Dollhouse promo. A friend found this one the other night, but the quality is so low that you can barely see Jamie ( Read more... )

Just got up out of bed. Oh, I haven't been there all day, or anything! I got chicken for dinner, and although I thought I ate a decent-sized portion, but it all sat in my stomach until I had to lie down for a bit. I still feel rather blech, but functional. Still, it's nice to be able to lie in bed and do some reading. Only three more weeks of ( Read more... )

I really need to get that notebook I mentioned earlier, because now I've forgotten everything I wanted to say. Ah, well. Guess I'll start off with craftsiness. ( Silly yarn store names, errata, ugly Malabrigo, and the evils of seed stitch. )

1. Ah, the power of traffic to rule one's summer schedule. One of my projects for ESOL certification class is to visit DeKalb Farmer's Market and write about the cultural representations that I observe. I really wanted to go today (and get in some grocery shopping while there), but unless I'd left at noon, there was no way I could get across ( Read more... )

I've been having an emotionally rough week, so I'm distracting myself with TV. Too bad nothing's on tonight. According to reports, Dollhouse has been renewed. I wasn't a huge fan -- more intrigued than enraptured -- but I'd like to see more of it. So, here are some thoughts on various things I've watched lately. Spoilers for all of them ( Read more... )
