Still working on my ridiculous novelty yarn scarf... I've decided to come up with a really pretentious name for it, since that seems to be the trend lately. "Snow on Birch Trees", I'll call it. Which reminds me, some guy on the train told me he really liked it. And thought it would make a nice dress... I'm not sure what was in HIS coffee cup, but I'll take some, please!
You know, it may not be a wholly original design, but I don't really give a rat's ass. And I'm pretty sure I finally found a pattern I'm in love with for the Tosh, and it's gorgeous- there are SO MANY GORGEOUS lace knit (and a few crochet) shawls out there that other people have spent so much time and effort designing, and it really shows. I'm definitely planning on knitting quite a few in the future, as well as designing my own once I get the hang of what I'm doing. And although I *could* easily crochet something plain and simple and utterly boring and brainless based on someone else's super simple and boring pattern (in my sleep, no less), why would I when I'm perfectly capable of taking my knitting/ crocheting skills to the next level by learning something new via someone else's generous gift of a free pattern? Besides, this gorgeous copper yarn is way too good to waste on anything boring. It's NOT "just fucking string"... someone had to hand shear a sheep, someone came up with the gorgeous colorway, etc, etc. It deserves a better fate than mediocrity. *looks at yarn* Sweet thang... I'm gonna knit the FUCK outta you! <3
In other news, I spent last night at the meatball's place. We looked at this awesome Guns n' Roses book about the making of Appetite for Destruction his friend sent him, watched some great old G n'R interviews, had an amazing, toe curling good time... slept, and woke up and did it again. He went off to work, after we had coffee together, and I walked all the way over to the diner across from Hank's Saloon (where Antiseen is playing soon! YAY!) and had lunch (chicken kebab over rice. Why, no... that's NOT in my list of diet friendly foods, why do you ask? ;-) From there, I walked over to the mall, because I needed to pick up a few things at Target. I found an AWESOME squeaky steak toy for my four legged nephew that I think will be really difficult for him to rip apart (at least I hope so!), picked up fish oil capsules and some vitamin B12, and some bedding items. Ohhh, and of course a three pack of soda flavored Lip Smackers... I swear, it's the only balm that works on my poor, abused lips. I still need to call a friend from high school about Pat... meant to do it yesterday but things got a little too hectic. And now my phone needs to charge so... ugh, I need to stop putting it off :-\ I HATE talking on the phone, but I hate talking about sad things on the phone even worse.
Ok... here I go. Bahhhh.
