from my perch

Posted on February 29th, 2008 at 2:57 pm

When it’s been weeks since one has posted anything on her blog, it is really hard to know where to pick back up again. In such an instance, one is very tempted to delete everything and start from scratch. You know, come up with a gimmick or at least a blog theme instead of the catch-all thing that Quietish is. Being that the problem in the first place is lack of motivation to post however, obviously I can’t be bothered scrape around for some creativity.

So I thought I might update on what I’ve been up to for the past weeks. That’ll be fun, right? In no discernible order:

  • After years of not really watching much at all, we finally broke down and bought a (laughably small) HD TV for the bedroom. We then hooked it up to cable. This event strangely coincides with the time my friends noticed that I quit signing onto my instant messengers. Funny, that.
  • In a related note, I am writing to you now from my new favorite spot of the apartment (the perch on my bed directly in front of said TV) with an extra computer Justin scrounged up for me. The pictures following were also taken from The Perch. I only needed to lean over and grab the camera out of my purse. This will explain my lack of makeup or brushed hair.
  • Because we all know I needed another hobby, Justin and I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons every weekend with friends Matt and Mary Ellen, and lately some newer friends from nearby Charlie Bean. I am currently a Level 5 Halfling Rogue. Fear me.
  • Yes I’ve been knitting some. I have not been excited enough to post about it though. You can see finished pics here, if you are so inclined.
  • Recently I discovered that my beloved Clapotis had a few small holes in it. I frogged it and have spent a few weeks thinking about what to use the yarn for next. I could have knit another Clappy, but I don’t think I have it in me. Until this morning I was thinking I’d make a shrug. A bit ago though, I decided on the Clementine Shawlette.

    I have been fickle lately though, so I might get another inch in and frog it. I’ll let you know how it goes.

  • I recently had a whole troup of Wizard Rockers roll into town for the Whomp The House tour and play a lovely show at Charlie Bean. I whined about Kelly not being there the whole time, but I had an excellent evening. I took very poor pictures. Sorry. You can see them here though.
  • The Oklahoma City area has a new Harry Potter fan group. We are bowling on Sunday. Please come, if you can. Potter people have lots of fun.
  • I changed my hair.

    […] I’ve actually followed through past the first few inches (yes, I did indeed rip out the Clementine) I thought it’d be worth posting the proof. Otherwise yeah, the knitting mojo is not really […]
