is not a fan of being stag at a party where I don't know anyone but the guests of honor. Harumph.

90 percent chance of overnight rain. Winds 20-30 mph. Low 61f. Reason 9564 why I'm still glad I don't have the paper route anymore.

On another note, I just tried to fall asleep with my glasses on. Almost worked too.

It's pure silliness.

knitting update

Everyday wrap: Done.  Finally.  2nd official product.

Grey spiral scarf to be gift/use up yarn left from wrap: CO

Tunisian chain mail scarf: Yarn bought, need hook.

Cute yarn bought for pennies at Michael's last weekend: found pattern, need needles.

Apartment: suffering from neglect.  I wonder why?

books grand totoal so far: 27

That's more than a book a week.  Amazing.

Next up:  Good Omens again.  Which I read via audio book, but when all was said and done, I was like, huh?  I think that because I stopped doing my paper route, I wasn't listening enough and I lost track.  So I'm trying the print version.  I want to really like this book because R&N are mad for it.  Plus it's Neil Gaiman.  Not counting towards books read total for the year.

On Deck: Empress, Curse of the Spellmans and Talking to Girls about Duran Duran. 

Empress is by the same author as The Girl Who Played Go.  So it'll probably be as amazing and also as heartbreaking.  Sigh.

Curse of the Spellmans is part of a whole slew of books about the kooky PI family.  Should be good for a laugh and go quickly.

Talking to Girls About Duran Duran is part of Real Simple's No Obligation Book Club.  I'm a week behind, so I've got to catch up.  But it looks to be a fun, quick read, so it shouldn't be a problem.

So, I've essentially got 4 books to read in the next 5 weeks.  And I've got three knitting projects I'm hot to start.  This should be interesting.

Something yummy I hope to make next time we have someone over for dinner.
