beer and knitting. an unlikely but immensely satisfactory duo.
seven and a half exhausting hours of catering. I’m stiff and sore and somewhat sad. I miss having someone to call after work.

http://twitpic.com/18z74 - me. LOST. late night knitting.
uh oh; I think I’m gradually conforming more and more to the knitting-cat-woman cliché.
cooked some stir fry and brownies, and now it’s time for bible study!
no way! Indelible Grace is coming to Hot Springs!!
it’s very tricky singing the Messiah with a choir when one’s thoughts keep wandering.
really interesting article related to last night’s episode and the nuclear bomb: http://tinyurl.com/cvjjzy
oh man. had to stay up til 3-ish to catch all of LOST for the second time… yawn.
powerful information: http://www.theplaceswelive.com/ what will we do about it?
watching The Darwin Awards… this movie is beyond hilarious; can’t believe I’d never heard of it before.
just bought the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack. I’ve been in a Bollywood/world music phase lately.
also, t-5 hours until LOST.
I got a call back from a job application! trying to be realistic with my excitement.
Ellie came back this morning! she’s as cuddly as ever.
“where my Shepherd leads, where else can I go? who else fills my cup ‘til it overflows?”
“there’s only One who never fails / to beckon the morning light / there’s only One who sets loose the gales / and ties the trees down tight”
made a big pot of curry tofu soup… time to eat!
my mood matches the weather too perfectly.
kitty escaped out into the rain and won’t come back. no jobs to be found. my afternoon could have gone better…
homework finally done — time to dress for class.
whoa. the Sierra Nevada pale ale is giving me some pretty historic burps. tmi, I know.
teh kitteh is attention-hungry this evening.
my ceramics professor has a daughter named Rumble. I think that might even top Sarah Palin’s oddly-named offspring…
job hunt beginning in earnest this week… also, it is too cold to venture outside. ergo my dilemma.
why is it Monday already? it feels like that test cancelled out half my weekend!
finished my entire 12-bowl assignment for ceramics! yaay.

Slumdog was an extraordinary film — highly recommend it.
knitting cat toys is my new instant high.
pray for my sister, Laura; she’s in the emergency room with another of her uncontrollable nosebleeds. she lost a pint of blood last one…
It’s over! Happy with my scores, and now I get to knit and chill the rest of the day, before seeing Slumdog Millionaire tonight.
test time. ugh.
GRE in T-10 hours. time for bed, methinks.
oooh — Ellie likes the catnip I bought her! She pretended she didn’t at first, but now she’s rubbing herself in it.
I’m running out of ideas for sneaky ways to get the cat to take her antibiotics. and she’s mad at me.
the cat is a she. Hence, I need to come up with female name after three days of calling her ‘Lewis’…
finished 4 bowls last night, started 4 more this morning… 4 still waiting to be started. yikes.
loved the Lord of the Rings reference by Dwight this evening.
I need to get in on some of this action: http://www.yarnbombing.com/
planning to go work on my tea bowls for a bit… and read out in the sun.
stayed up almost ‘til 3 a.m. to catch all of LOST. but, oh, was it worth it…
LOST is still 85 minutes away… this is killing me.
