Well, not really...but I did knit two hats, and I am knitting a sock. It's proving to be ridiculous. Not hard exactly. Just ridiculous. I've kept myself from the blogging world because the holidays tend to fill me with the kind of rage that can only be found in disgruntled retail workers, and that just brings everyone down, but with Rowan's bullet post, I felt left out. So here:
I am knitting a sock. I will post pictures after Christmas so those who are receiving said sock (and other knit goods) don't have the surprise ruined. See you in a few days.

Banana Orphans
In light of the fact that we haven't exactly...updated....in a while, here are some random thoughts for padding! You won't find nuggets of truth this truthful (truthy?) anywhere else folks.
Whole Foods is turning me into a heartless monster. Breaking up a bunch of bananas feels about as bad as separating a family, but what choice do I have? Stop stocking up on pea-green bananas please, and I won't have to pick through for the needle in a haystack yellow ones. I abhor the folks who pick all the meat out of the soup containers, but I'm not magnanimous enough to take one for the team in this case.
A Sherlock Holmes movie should not feel like a sequel to Roadhouse. I recently re-watched the 2009 film, after forming absolutely no opinion on it the first time. I think my initial apathy resulted from being mildly pleased that Watson wasn't portrayed as a bumbling fool, and thus ignoring the myriad faults that fill the rest of the running time. I mean really, when your first scene involves the pair choking out a thug with all the realism of a WWE match and proceeding to kung-fu fight a horde of bad guys, you clearly weren't out to make a Sherlock Holmes movie. Even if you can forgive the traditionally explosive opening scene, the need to make Holmes into a UFC fighter for the young male demographic is pervasive. Boooooooo. That concludes my insightful critique.
If you read my last post (and let's be honest, you didn't), you may recall I was planning on applying for graduate school. Well, mission accomplished! Sort of. I'm going for a non-matriculated admission at UW, meaning they should rubber-stamp me in. I did take the GRE of course, and will probably apply for REAL studentship the following year with a new recommendation or two. In the meantime, though, I can be a bum until at least 2014, and that's a conservative estimate. Hooray for status quo!
