blog shmog

Now I'm remembering why I abandoned the old excruciating minutiae blog. Blogging sucks. It takes forever to get the pictures to be in the right spot, and I don't really do anything to write about in the first place. But, on we go.
I tried (and failed) to post this picture of the g.d. tilted duster last Sunday, but in order to save my computer from a violent death, I had to take a break. What have I been up to these past eleven days or so? Not much. Last Sunday I did the usual: knitting, watching my shows, being grumpy about the weekend being over...I did go to the movies last weekend. I saw Eastern Promises with Naomi Watts and the lord of the rings guy. It opened with a graphic throat cutting, so I enjoyed it. Every time I see a Naomi Watts movie, I want to cut my hair. Luckily in this one it shows her blow drying, which reminds me that, no, I do not want to cut my hair after all.
The work week was filled with the normal hating my job, going out for buckets of beer, babysitting and the like. I did get some cute new "business" cards from moo.com (they came in the "post" from the u.k.! "Par Avion"!) but I need to be more careful about who to give them to. Not everyone you meet should get your phone number.
Today is cooking show day on our pbs station, so I've been watching people cook weird stuff while I tidy up the house. Right now someone is showing me how to make easy meals with things I already have in the pantry. You mean you're supposed to keep food in the house all the time? oops.
Speaking of food, I just noticed that I'm starving. Oh yeah, that's because it's three in the afternoon and I haven't eaten anything. Better go to the store.

puzzling

You would think after seven full days without a post, I would have something to report. You would be wrong. How was my weekend? Relaxing would be a polite word for it. I didn't do anything. I watched my sunday shows, but they were weak. I worked on my sweater, but I'm doing the long, repetitive ribbing on the back. One row takes about eight minutes. Snore. It will be done soon though, I promise. I watched Knocked Up, and while it wasn't bad, it wasn't as funny as I wanted it to be. Plus it worked out a bit too nicely for my taste. I went to the HEB, caught up on G.A., bor-ing. Tonight I spent an exasperating half hour or so looking for my favorite shirt (the black one with the knot in the middle) to wear to this fundraising thing I have to go to tomorrow. Maybe something exciting will happen there. On the plus side, I did go to the water tank, my favorite local dive bar, yesterday and had more than my fair share of $2 drinks. I've also restarted my obsession with the nyt crossword. I did Monday just fine but couldn't finish today. Pathetic. I used to be smart. Really! Didn't I?

october? it's 90 degrees out

Why do I love the grocery store so much? The solitude? The free samples? The cute young bag boys? ("HEB hotties") I don't know, but it's my favorite.
Speaking of favorites, while I was at the grocery, I got some Sunshine Wheat. Mmm. Then I came home to find my new netflix: Freaks and Geeks! What a super afternoon.
As for the knitting, I'm still rockin on the duster but it is b o r i n g. Maybe I'll pick up on the many many other projects that are burying my sewing machine table. Or organize the closet, or do laundry, or shave my legs, or get my life together...
