I must confess: I've been a very bad blogger. Bad writer. Bad reader. Semi-bad knitter. I've been traveling so much for work that I'm just plain tired. And the end is not in sight. One more month and perhaps my brain will return. You know it's bad when reading, writing and knitting are considered by my mind to be far too taxing.
You also know it's bad when I'm considering watching Twilight for the second time in three nights. I'm probably going to that special hell - you know, the one reserved for people who watch and occasionally pay for bad movies. Here's the thing, though: It's got replay value! I've read all the books, and will only admit to liking the first. But you can't eat just one, you know? And then there's the fact that after book one I hoped Bella would die repeated and painful deaths. Yet I saw the movie. In the theater. It was probably a good thing that we went a while after it opened or we might have had a lynch mob on our heels. In fact, the whole audience was giggling throughout, so we were with a like minded crowd. A friend mentioned that everyone looked constipated, so this may have colored my perception, but the expressions were priceless. Jasper looked like Edward Scissorhands upon the application of purple-tinted foundation. Edward had a perpetual "I'm gonna throw up" look about him. And Bella was so "teen" it was surprisingly accurate. Hell, I'm putting that baby back in the DVD player right now.
On the knitting front, well, I gave into my urges and bought that crazy bright Manos that I've been eyeing. I bought it in Texas, with no witnesses, so it's okay, right? Apologies for the iPhone picture, but hey, natural light!
I told you Twilight was funny!
