I think that maybe if I didn't sit on a wysiwyg interface all day doing stuff, I might enjoy blogging more. This is why I could never get a job knitting. I would learn to hate it, just like I learned to hate all wysiwyg interfaces, plus html, xml, and the internet in general. And yet, the internet is my ticket to Fame and Fortune, because I am far too lazy to do it the regular way (like winning 8 gold medals in the Olympics. Far too lazy for that).
I have gotten a New Uninteresting Job. This looks like something I'll end up doing for the next ten years or so, unless I get fired or get my own reality show. And due to this Job, I am on my way to Phoenix (?!) tomorrow. I am going to go on an adventure in the airport, much like America's sweetheart Bella Cullen nee Swan (SPOILERZ OH NOZ) and then I will listen to the Jonas Brothers and do some other thing junior high students like. Are they still into huffing spray paint? I didn't really like the same stuff as my peers when I was in junior high. I was a big fan of American folk songs that have since been turned into "Children's Songs." I had cassette tapes and everything. But the point of this paragraph is that I am not packing for my trip, but rather blogging, as blogging for me is an act of procrastination.
I don't understand how my cat hauls around 15 pounds of himself on those tiny, tiny paws. I guess he has four of them. Then again, I haul around ten times that on my tiny, tiny feet and I only have two. Boy, am I glad I don't have ten of him. There'd be so much hair.
I've been knitting and playing whistles, for those of you who are still interested. I've rediscovered how much I love the Clarke whistles (the ones with the plastic fipples; I don't have enough air in my lungs to play the wooden block mouthpiece ones). I used to think they sounded pretty weak, but maybe that is because my whistle of choice was a freaking Susato.
As for knitting, I plan to bring yarn for both Rusted Root and Riding to Avalon, plus sock yarn, on my trip. I don't foresee NEEDING that many projects, but I also don't want to have too few. Also, I have only the wooden circular needle in size 6, and I really hope they don't take away my DPNs at the airport, because that will severely limit the projects I can work on. I'm assuming it won't be that big a deal since I'm flying to PHOENIX and it's an early flight. Also, I don't really look threatening. Not even in a "so-not-threatening-it's-sketchy" sort of way. I could disappear entirely if I wasn't half a minority! But from the back I am culturally invisible.
That's enough for today. I've decided to resume blogging, which will probably occur once a month and then I'll ramp it up to weekly. But first I have to find my camera so I can take pictures. I have a slew of FOs that I need to get photographed. Preferably on my person.
