Text of the page (random words):
pensive than i thought it would be 58 but edyie swears by that brand and i ve been promising i would buy myself one after the last yarn winding debacle so yay the purchase of more yarn also prompted an afternoon of cleaning out my office spare room closet talk about scary over stuffed and disorganized eeek i decided to take the remainder of my binders to work they re full of class notes which might see more action in my work office than at home in the closet decided i really don t need the extra sewing machine that mom thought i should keep just in case your grandmother s breaks ha maybe mom can ask if there s a charity through the church that could use one and pitched about three garbage bags full of old boxes packaging obsolete computer stuff and a manual for my twelve year old graphing calculator which if i could find it i m pretty sure it doesn t work anymore i also made a side project of cleaning out the bottom of the linen hall closet packed with about 800 disposable razors from some idiot company who thought the axs house in town was a sorority oops and left us about 4 000 promotional razors the girls in the fraternity divvied up the boxes the room i gained in there allowed me to relocate the spot bot from the front closet along with all the steam cleaning products from the office closet and the pet stain fighting spray bottle which was buried under the pile of razors as a result of the de packratting process i actually have empty space on the shelf in my closet and i was able to re arrange the storage containers to actually make better use of them i then sat down to attempt an update to my ravelry account now flickr and i still have an ongoing disagreement about whether or not it will upload my photos but i was able to get most of my open projects into my ravelry queue updated my stash of yarn with all my sock yarn at least the yarn i ll admit to i gained back a storage box while cleaning and promptly filled it with the cheap yarn i m too ashamed to admit i own and can t find a use for linked up my projects with my stashed yarn linked my projects with my blog posts and updated my knitting book library that took a whole pot of earl grey what shall i do with the remainder of the afternoon before i go to work at 6pm it s now 4pm with a headache guess i ll pop a tylenol make a salad for dinner put my reading glasses on and knit i

happy dance new books yay new yarn random ravelry start itis 08 november 2008 knitting day i made today a knitting day because i needed a day of finish itis not start itis but it had an inauspicious start i hit up the lys after fighting my way through the psycho hawkeye nittany lions fans football game started at 2 30pm so i could reach the other side of town i got yarn to make a slouchy hat for myself because i always have trouble due to the fact that i usually have my hair pinned up in the winter and i got some more sock yarn noro has sock yarn go figure i also got some eucalan to send with my secret items after i got home from my bookstore shift i sat my little self down in front of the television and did what i do best knit while watching college football i had two choices okie state vs texas tech or notre dame vs boston college i really don t care about the big 12 outcomes but i have no love for notre dame so i settled down to knit like a demon and watch bc pound nd into the ground i finished my yellow secret item came out looking pretty nice finally seamed up the test for a brimmed cap which must have a pattern error because the underside of the brim is longer than the top it looks like of stupid so i m not going to make a nice version and knit a couple of inches on my variegated scarf tomorrow i ll start my cap i got some pretty white cashmerino oh and the hawkeyes won 24 23 over the 3 penn state nittany lions first win over a top 5 team since 1990 hot damn posted by melissa ward at 11 43 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels new yarn secret knitting start itis 12 september 2008 i ve been productive really i have ok fine i ve played a lot of packrat too as many of you know i have a little start itis problem with books and knitting projects books being the major problem i recently made a list of all the books i recently started but didn t finish yet the green knight by iris murdoch feather man by rhyll mcmaster guns germs and steel by jared diamond breaking dawn by stephenie meyer the story of edgar sawtelle by david wroblewski the dead father by donald barthelme villette by charlotte bronte trainspotting by irvine welsh the library at night by alberto manguel how to read novels like a professor by thomas foster the time traveler s wife by audrey niffenegger why we read fiction by lisa zunshine the elegant universe by brian greene the millenium problems by keith devlin how beautiful it is and how easily it can by broken by daniel mendelsohn the gargoyle by andrew davidson grendel by john gardner swann s way by marcel proust now that one i haven t started recently but it seems that everytime i try to read it i have to re start and i m sure there are others i missed i decided to try and make a bit of a dent in the pile i finished the time traveler s wife first niffenegger has an interesting concept in the narrative thread of the book it is vaguely linear with view points by both claire and henry which gives each character a great deal of depth i only had a few bones about the ending i thought it was trite and lacked a good emotional punch i d gotten invested in those characters then it seemed niffenegger just ran out of steam i also polished off how to read literature like a professor which is a really easy to read book i plan to yoink a bit of his insights about iris murdoch i think he s got a soft spot for her next up was how beautiful it is and how easily it can be broken which is a book of criticism by daniel mendelsohn a collection of his work from various new york sources mendelsohn has a great writing style educated reflecting his post graduate work in classics but not obviously trying to be remote and obscure some of the best essays were either reviews of new productions adaptation of classical greek drama or were reviews of movies thinly based on greek epic or drama a very enjoyable book guns germs and steel was an easy polish off i didn t have much left and the book had run out of steam and was merely re capitulating earlier points it was good up until that point i then trimmed down feather man caught back up with the book explorers for bnbc fm is a first novel by a very respected poet in australia although the novel does have some unsettling subject matter the author writes beautifully about sooky s vision of her own world as she grows up in 1950s brisbane i m trying not to read too far ahead of my group in the green knight because it s harder to keep track of everything when i ve read through the novel i have the dead father and trainspotting in my bag today i ll see what i can do about those the dead father is really really hard to follow because it is so incredibly far into the post modernist style i will sit down this weekend biting the bullet to finish breaking dawn it just isn t as interesting as the first three books in the series so i might as well be done with it there are 200 pages left current book in progress i m really trying to read a bit of criticism for the green knight thankfully there isn t very much current knitted item finishing second pair of booties must be done by baby shower on october 12 and i m doing a few more surprise items current movie obsession velvet goldmine though since i ve been busy reading i haven t been watching anything besides the morning news current itunes

start itis stuff i read 17 february 2008 snow again yet again this winter i am stuck in my house not because the roads are terrible they aren t great but they aren t blown shut but because it has taken all day for the snow removal team to show up and plow the lot i tried to get out around 3 15pm to go to the store mother hubbard s cupboard is a little bare and that worked not so well it took two neighbors to help me get the car back in the garage and lots of shovelling three of us were trying to get out one in particular because he needed to go to the drugstore because his kids were sick we shovelled and shovelled and the guy with the 4x4 was able to finally get traction so he went to the drugstore for the other neighbor i do actually have nice neighbors some days they are just now plowing the lot 4 30 sigh maybe i can go to the store later we were supposed to have book group tonight and decided that we would postpone for a week given that three people were coming down from cedar rapids and they got more snow than we did so next week we re having a joint book oscar party yum in anticipation for what was tonight s party i bought a coffee table yay i d been looking for one
