“So, you heard that too?” “Yeah, but what was it?” July 22, 2005
I’d link to the previous posts where I started this, but I’m too lazy this morning.
Actually, I’ve been lazy in general lately. I blame the heat - I don’t operate at maximum speed when the weather goes above a certain temperature, like, say 20 degrees Celsius.
Which, is to say, that my posts have lacked a certain cohesion and/or coherence lately - or at least, they do to me. I’ve been operating under the certainly muddled* philosophy that any post is better than none at all, no matter how bad it is (or at least, how bad I think it is).
Part of it is knowing in the back of my mind that I have to get “caught up” and I’m falling further and further behind. Every time I sit down at my computer, I end up getting distracted and maybe not writing about certain things, or being half-assed about it.
So, in an effort to motivate/remind myself what I still need to share with everyone, here’s what will be coming up in the next few days or so:
- I have another of those interview-meme things to respond to. The questions are actually pretty good, and the reason I still haven’t taken the time to answer them properly is because I have too much to say. Self-editing will be happening soon.
- My trip to North Bay and Timmins, complete with photos of some of the wacky road signs. And - good news - I actually found something I liked in Timmins this time.
- Actual honest-to-goodness knitting content! I dyed some more yarn, and need help identifying some mystery yarn I got in Listowell last December.
- Minor annoyances, like my recent trials and tribulations with PayPal when I tried to upgrade my Flickr account, or how irritating it is that every time I open my iTunes lately, it always defaults to the American store.
- Reflecting fondly on the Tall Ships, which were in Halifax five years ago this weekend.
I can’t promise I’ll get around to everything this weekend, but at least I have a plan.
*Did you see the recent “Daily Show” when Jon Stewart mispronounced “muggle” as “mooglie”? It was pretty hilarious - you could hear people in the audience hollering “MUGGLE!” Anyways…
I could have KILLED Jon Stewart. I mean, I respect that man a lot and I get most of my news from him… rawr.
I emailed Comedy Central telling him off, but I guess it didn’t make much of a difference since he didn’t say anything about it on Monday. Also, I think he should bring the couch back- I hate the new set.
I’m not loving the new set that much, either. The new chairs look uncomfortable, and the guest chair makes it look like they’re sitting at an odd angle to Jon and the audience.
