Y Control
You can tell it’s summer. The cats seem vaguely annoyed that we’re home all the time interrupting their naps, Aidan is heavy into a new video game, and the joy of being done with the semester is offset by the anxiety of knowing the next steady paycheck is months away. I’m just glad that it [...]

All Done
With the semester, that is. So far, I’ve celebrated with knitting night and a dinner/Ikea date with Aidan. I bought a new desk and desk chair. Together, the two pieces create an awesome study space combo which screams, “Yeah, I like reading and writing. What?”
I’ve also been doing a fair amount of knitting, thanks in [...]

A quick and dirty update
Oh, end of the semester–how you make me want to bang my head against the wall.
I have a ton of work to get done, and I am happy to report that I’m actually making progress. I feel like everything that was laid out before me was a gigantic boulder stuck in a rut in the [...]

Good Riddance
Aidan and I decided to indulge our love of all things ridiculous on Friday night with a marathon of Final Destination 1, 2, AND 3. It was awesome. I dedicated the time to working on the Herringbone Rib Socks (Ravelry link) that I started way back at the beginning of January. They’re finally done.
I really, [...]

Emo Barbie
I am seriously slumping it right now. By that I mean, I feel mired in this “blech” place where I feel unmotivated, unexcited, dispassionate, suspended. I’ve had some brief reenergizing moments–accepting an offer to a PhD program in Syracuse, going to a conference in San Francisco, going to a feminist theory workshop at Duke. But [...]

Where the hell have I been?
Well, I’ve been traveling, so I’ve been a couple of places. But mostly, I think I’ve been pulled into a time suck where I keep meaning to do various things (like blog) but keep forgetting or running out of time and meanwhile time just keeps passing so quickly that I think I’m developing some anxiety [...]

Mail Call
This has been an exceptionally fun mail week for me. Usually, all I get in the mail is a bunch of junk and forty billion bank statements (even though all of my accounts are supposed to be paperless). But this week, I three very exciting deliveries on three consecutive days which, in my mind, constitutes [...]

New Things
I have three finished items that I still need to post about, but I haven’t got around to taking pictures of them yet due to a combination of gloomy weather, forgetfulness, and a recently discovered need for some pretty serious cat hair removal. I strongly warn anyone against leaving anything black laying out too long [...]

I finished Aidan’s birthday socks on Monday night.
(I know that Aidan is really excited that I included this last photo.)
I also started a new project–the Peek-a-Boo cloche from Lace Style (Ravelry link). I love the construction of this hat. You start by knitting the stockinette liner for the hat from the top down, and then [...]

Some quick updates
I bought Aidan the second season of Dexter for his birthday, and we’ve been working our way through the season this weekend. We’re about two episodes from the end of the season (Dexter is preparing to turn himself into the police) and I’m feeling very anxious. It doesn’t help that the episode is playing to [...]
