Last latte of the year at 4 Barrel.
off to the market for dinner fixin’s
December 2008
Home after working out. Where? At work! Splits, abs and rope stuff.
culled audible wishlist to 10 books, for the 10 credits I have. Looks like a great year of “reading.”
watching The Day After. 25 years ago, I wasn’t allowed to watch this. Surprising how childhood Cold War and nuclear fears still get me.
Think Outside the SOX deadline was extended to 1/31 (thanks, Cat!) I’m still in the competition. These kilt hose will be done!
ugh! I don’t want to drive into work this morning… that’s what I get for leaving the computer at the office and not remembering passwords
I hate stranded knitting. Why wait for blocking to see if my colorwork loses its puckered texture? All attempts at über-loose tension fail.
2.5 inches into the cuff of kilt hose, I realize I’m not going to get a pair knit for the Think Outside the Sock Jan. 1 contest deadline.
Just saw Milk. And I cried.
Xmas: presents, Martha Stewart’s buttermilk pancakes w/friends, knitting, Freaks and Geeks (how did I miss this show?) and dinner next door
Merry, merry everybody! Time to sleep, not for Santa’s arrival, but for early rising and housecleaning!
Happily leaving work for 2008!
Take burritos for dinner. I called it in under the name Stephen. Reciept says, STIVE.
Recycling pounds of paper, organizing To Read and To File piles and working out made today super productive.
12/23 ended with a sense of peace at work, hope for the coming year and contentment at just being.
Each month at bill time, I fantasize about paring my life down to the bare necessities, but then I realize I couldn’t tell you this.
Found: tiny ziplock with a powder in our building entryway. White Xmas? Speedy delivery? Gays upstairs or Burning man people? Bah humbug!
Holiday traveling, tight timelines and global warming are forcing business calls this Suday night. Hey guys! (both are Twitted pals)
Back home from the boss’ holiday party because the old ball and chain is sleepy… and old.
At Ikea hoping I can exchange this sofa cushion and not have to wait until after Xmas for pickup and redelivery.
Sofa crisis over. Cushion exchanged. Xmas is back on.
Dear Twitter-ati, what supplies would you recommend to someone interested in exploring ink and watercolor sketchbook-ery?
Livid re: sofa arrived with boxcutter wound in cushion, found after delivery guys left. Waiting for Ikea to call back and un-ruin Xmas.
Last circus class of the year tonight.
Turns out I’m wearing this dancebelt for no reason. Circus class cancelled tonight for tech rehearsal for tomorrow’s student show.
Had I known there would be no class tonight, I could have been trimming the tree chez @WonderMike!
Best Xmas present ever arrived in my inbox this morn. More later (in 2009)!
TiVo, please record more interesting things. I hate programming you.
phone now has wireless access in the office, so I can be more productive when I’m not strapped to my desk for 10 hours!
Finished Mermaid/Pomotomous glove on aran yarn, US 6’s & 36 sts around. Need recipient to try it on before weaving in ends from 5 fingers.
New circus rope at work? It’s well hung. Now all I need is some rosin.
Off to pick up some circus rope!
another late night, but this one saw the weaving in of ends on White Elephant gift for work.
up past midnight… so I thought I’d check on BMFA’s 2009 sock club sign ups. SPOILER: it’s not up. I’m going to bed.
Soaking my feets. Very habit-forming. Gateway activity to baths?
home from the company party; so glad I work for that place with such great people.
all-day company meeting all done!
Picking up German food after recording the Men’s Fall Knitting Retreat episode of YKNIT.
Enjoyed chips and queso at Velvet Cantina where 17FEET was having their holiday party.
Third time’s a charm! Bound off a möbius cowl. Best one yet (of 4 others)!
My SXSWi idea was rejected for a panel, but invited to be a Core Conversation: Commu(k)nity: Lessons for Marketers From Online Crafting
ran 3.4187 miles this morning with six 90 sec intervals, just for added punishment.
At SF Bike Coalition Winterfest
Can’t remember the last time I came home after 1am. I’m old. Http://www.voniva.com show was amazing as to be expected.
