Mar. 26th, 2003 11:56 amI've started walking at least partway home from work. I still need to figure out how far it is between Kenmore and Harvard St., because that's my favorite segment so far. Going from work to Kenmore via Back Bay will be a better walk when the leaves come out. I walked the entire distance on Monday night and it took me an hour and a half, going via Cambridge St. I need some better shoes.
I hadn't bought any music in a brick-and-mortar store in ages, and on Monday night I went to HMV in search of the soundtrack to Children of Dune (mediocre series; WONDERFUL music). Anyway, I found the CD and got major sticker shock. Granted, the CD is an hour and 17 minutes long, but I still think $19 for one CD is highway robbery. (Yes, I went ahead and bought the thing anyway, and have been listening to it constantly for two days.)
The Celtic banner embroidery is done! Woohoo! It wouldn't have taken me seven months if I hadn't taken a couple of months off when I ran out of a particular sort of floss. Now I have to decide what to do with the banner. Unfortunately the edges are getting kind of frayed, so framing it is probably the best idea, but I can't really spend a zillion dollars on getting it framed. I need to take a picture of it, in any case.
As several other people have said, I'm not ignoring the war; I just don't want to post about it here, so I'm not.
I really should start charging commissions on everything I get with "ASAP" attached to it. Off the top of my head I can count five or six things in the last two days that fit the category, and I'm one of those people who gets more and more stubborn about NOT doing something the more somebody tells me I really have to do it. My reaction to seeing "ASAP" on things lately is "If it's so damn important, do it yourself."
Connected to that, I've really got to stop checking my work e-mail from home.
The cats, who aren't really kittens any more, have a collective case of spring fever. They've discovered how to unwind most of the roll of toilet paper, and apparently they like bok choy. I was washing some in the sink last week and left it sitting there to drain, and when I got back to it, there were two cats sitting there eating the leaves. Weirdness. They're also definitely in the all-elbows-and-knees stage, and they keep falling off the sink and not quite making jumps up onto various surfaces. Highly amusing stuff, though.
Happy Wednesday, all.
