May. 4th, 2005

Not much to say here, either, but I have a minute, so I thought I should use it. Did ~6 miles on my bike yesterday while Tim ran. Have decided that popcorn and milk duds is a fine dinner once in awhile. Also, the freshest and cheapest pita in the area may be found at Sizar's on Oakland Mills Road, right by the homebrew store, in Columbia. They also have very tasty, not overly sweet baklava, and good shawarma marinating spices.

Spent a couple of hours watching Lost in America, which is only serviceable -- it's what you'd expect of an Albert Brooks comedy, I guess. I want them all to be as good as Defending Your Life, and they never are. During the movie, I sorted through some of the myriad magazine articles and pages and recipes I've culled over the past couple of years and started getting them organized into books, binders, and wherever else they were supposed to go. I have a sticky paged photo album for recipes, one for home-related articles, one for other randomness, and then a blank journal that I'm filling with ephemera from 2005. The goal was to add something every day, but that isn't working so well.

Played two games of Scrabble with Tim at Starbucks last night, including one in which I found SOIGNEE, which made me happy. Broke 400 in one, was close in the other. Still feel unprepared for tourney. Was made to drink Calm Tazo tea, as I had extra energy last night.

And now, Here are the 10 first place winners in the International Pun Contest )
Spindles: one 1.5ish ounces, top whorl with grooves for Kim, one basic to replace the one that I gave away, maybe an extra for teaching people
Roving: merino, white, 21ish micron count; corriedale, bfl...
Yarn: enough for a summery tank (Ballet Neck tank = 750 yds 18sts/4" on 7s; Soleil = 700 yds 22 sts/4" on 6s; Cleo = 700 yds 16 st/4" on 9s); Koigu depending on how slammed the booth is; something dyeable, or that can be made into a good xmas gift shawl for my grandma
SpinGear: Ashford drive band, maybe a jumbo flyer, or other fancy attachment (like a WooLee Winder, or some new bobbins...
Paula and Woolarina: Louet S10 DT winder; larger niddy noddy; dye; undyed yarns; ball winder!
What NOT to Buy: Yarn without projects, shirts, Angora bunnies
Since I take a couple of vitamins and drugs a day, it seems like it'd be fun to have a cute pill organizer, and since Heather provided me with links to a few, I thought I'd save em. They are here or here or here. Enjoy.

Also, I just might have to get one of these to hold the toilet paper in my bathroom, because it just looks so wrong... (thanks [livejournal.com profile] torena)
There is a big difference between being childish/immature, and just retaining a few of the childish/immature things you did as a younger person. Sometimes, upon going home, I backslide quite a bit into becoming the younger person, and have to make an concerted effort not to. The more I go back to Chicago (and then come back here), the more I can recognize when it's happening, and remember who I am now and where I am and my responsibilities. It isn't always fun, being the responsible one, and it's especially hard when I'm all stressy (like now), but it's this version of me that I really like, and want to be.
