I don't like to paint myself as an entirely curmudgeonly creature, but I've been having (another) one of those weeks.
- I'm sort-of ill again. Now, this is nowhere near the flu I had a few weeks ago-- it's just annoying. I've got this perpetual head congestion/running nose coupled with mild to moderate malaise. My neti pot and I are becoming very ( Read more... ) -
I'm feverish and coughing/hacking. Humor me.
If you like the Grand Theft Auto series, you should play Saints row 2. If you do not like the Grand Theft Auto series, you should play Saints Row 2.

blank canvas no more
Got my tattoo today. I love it. ...Washing it when I got home sucked. Also, it is very, very hard to take pictures of your own leg. I'll get Josh to take some better ones tomorrow.

Knitting diary
My sister's 17th birthday is on the 11th. I bought 2 henks of Claudia Hand Painted Yarns from the yarn store, in the "Twilight" colorway (I don't know if it's a reference to the awful books or the time of day, but since she likes the books I figured it was a safe bet) cast on for these socks.
That was a week ago. I've had to rip them back four ( Read more... )
