After what feels like a bajillion years of knitting (in an all-over pattern with hard-to-see black yarn in a teeny tiny sock weight on teeny tiny needles, no less), I am finally finished with Thermal. Whew. Well, finished except for the buttons--unless I can find some suitable ones around the house, I need to buy some. But that's not much left to ( Read more... )

If you're wondering why I haven't posted lately, it's because I haven't been doing much of anything besides homework. Today I turned in my second final project, leaving one more paper, for Whiteness, due Tuesday. I'm going to need to work on it every day til it's due, but it's a good amount of time to do a good job on the assignment. After that ( Read more... )

Last night when the doctor gave Maurice the phenobarbital injection there was a radio nearby playing "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star. Now it's in my head every single minute.

I think a bit later when I am feeling up to it I will write a longer thing about Maurice. His history, our first meeting, and so on. I think it would help me feel better.

So, I've been thinking about it for a while now and I think I'm going to make it official--I'm locking my journal for a while. I don't relish the idea of blocking it from people I know who don't have journals, or even a few people I don't. The problem with having my journal unlocked isn't with strangers reading it, it's certain people I know, or ( Read more... )

I had a really interesting evening last night. My Theory and Literature professor assigned us a paper where we have to analyze a cultural space, and the space I ended up using was a strip club near campus. I'd been meaning to go for a while and it just hadn't worked out. It turned out that my timing was better than I thought, because I really ( Read more... )

I'm curious as to whether anybody's reading this who isn't on my friends list. I can think of at least one person who might be (are you there, Justice?) but I don't know if there are any more. I'm asking because I'm thinking about locking my journal for a while, making it viewable by friends only. If you've been reading and you have a ( Read more... )

I had a nice time hanging out with Monk and Cole the other day. When Lainie left in the morning, she jokingly said that all three of us should be on our best behavior. Later on, Cole put a blanket over both of our heads. Monk said, "Are you guys making out in there? Susan, I thought Mom told you to be on your best behavior." I told Cole that I ( Read more... )

I went to see The Spirit of the Beehive tonight. When Eliot reminded me about the screening he was thinking that I had told him it was a favorite movie of mine, but I had never seen it before. The funny thing is, I think it might really end up being one of my favorite films, though I feel like I'd need to see it again to really be sure. I'm not ( Read more... )

For the first time in a long time, I'm going to post about knitting. Here goes nothin ( Read more... )
