Peculiar Saturday

Very peculiar indeed. I didn't wake up until 11-ish, and I didn't come upstairs until noon-ish.

Yesterday I got a tiny cut on my finger. I think I had tried to move the kitchen faucet, and there's a little raised bit on the faucet that got my finger. Ouch.

Also yesterday, I did a lot of laundry. I washed not only clothes but also bedding and my pillow. Mom and I had a huge fight over the pillow because I washed it on it's own and it didn't drain properly, so it was dripping when I took it out. Mom assumed I was putting it in with other stuff. So she decided to put it in on the final spin cycle. Grr.

It got really fluffy, though! :)

Did I mention that YouTube is working now? It was being weird because they were doing updates. The strangest thing, though, is that Dad didn't have any trouble with YouTube. Huh.

So, I'm really enjoying We're Going to See The Beatles!. I've taken a break from A Freewheelin' Time, because it's a bit of a difficult read sometimes. I really haven't been reading much fiction, actually. I reserved New Moon, though. I hope it's better than Twilight.

That reminds me, I made another avatar that mocks Edward Cullen! It reads: "My dog demon is hotter than your VAMPIRE!!!" I would've included a photo of Sesshomaru, but I can't figure out how to use Photoshop :p

I think I'll go watch InuYasha on YouTube :)

BAH STUFFY NOSE!!!!!

Yep, my nose is a little stuffed up. It was worse before my shower.

Last night I put laundry in, and I kept my wall light on so that I would still be awake for when the buzzer went off... but I fell asleep! And i woke up with a stuffy nose and a sore throat. Both are better now, but my nose is still a little stuffy and my throat is a little slimy. Lovely.

So yeah... not the best morning I've had. I haven't eaten anything today because of my slimy throat - Mom thought I shouldn't have peanut butter if my throat's being like this, and my stomach's being a bit weird.

I think my mom let me sleep in, because I'm normally up before 9:00, but when I got up it was partway through Maury, which is on at 9:00. Also, I heard one of the dogs (I think it was Smiles) coming down the stairs, and my mom yelled, "Leave Sam alone, she's sleeping!"

Mom says we'll probably go to the library tonight, before they close. That works for me! I'll probably take that Bob Dylan album back, though, because it skips on some of the tracks. Quadrophenia has to go back by tomorrow, and I'll also take the Monster Xmas Ballads CD back. But Zeppelin's staying out :) So far, I have seven items to pick up - four CDs, two books and a DVD. The CDs are Bruce Springsteen, The Beatles, the Jeff Healey Band and Elton John, the books are a book on Gandhi (which has a lot of pages, but that probably includes the maps and an index) and a book on basic guitar, and the DVD is the 2004 Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival!

I'm still waiting on three items: a Joan Jett CD, a DVD on Martin Luther King Jr, and season one of Gilmore Girls.

And I'm #60 on the list for Twilight, and my city's library system has 35 copies, I think. So be patient, Twilight fans! I'll read it when it comes! :)

Yarn photos and a Beatles video

It turns out that I did not get two skein of the black. They're both black, yes, but one has differect colour flecks. One has bluish fleck, the other more reds and yellows (shown above). Sorry for the mistake.

I also got some Berrocco Optik, and lovely sock yarn.

And now, for the Beatles portion of the post!

A rather cool day :)

Why was today a cool day? I'll make a list...

1. Even though I hate going to the dentist, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I had a fascinating conversation with the man sitting next to me in the waiting room. Normally I'm not that talkative, but we both had something in common - a fear of going to the dentist. And he made me laugh a little.
2. The hygienist who cleaned my teeth is so cool.
3. I heard 'Here Comes The Sun' on the radio as I waited for the hygienist to come back into the room.
4. We went to a store called JYSK, where my parents bought me a knitting bag that can double as a beach bag.
5. We went to Len's Mill Store, where my parents got me a pair of metal yarn needles. I needed a shorter needle for weaving in unruly ends. We also got two Butterfinger bars - one for my dad, one for me.
6. We went out for lunch.
7. I started knitting a pair of gauntlets.
