The Netherlands beat Brazil in the World Cup!!!! :D
Also, here's a picture of the dishcloth:
Cute, right? :) I love how the corner striped. I'm quite proud of this little cloth.
The new HPKCHC assignments have been posted, and I'm trying to decide what to make. There are a bunch of assignments that I like, so it's tough to decide on what to attempt first. The month is still young, though.
Also, the new items got added to the library catalog yesterday, so right at 6:00 I raced upstairs to fire up my computer. I went through the new CDs first, and they had added a couple of Freddie Mercury albums and a Queen album that I had sent in purchase requests for, so that made me happy. They also added a live Sting album, which I reserved. After that I went through the DVDs and found lots to reserve: Cop Out, a Peanuts collection, the fourth season of Doc Martin, Skellig (which is based on a really good book by David Almond - I highly recommend it)... I think there was one or two other DVDs, but I can't remember the names. I didn't reserve a lot of books, just a couple of knitting books and a National Geographic book.
Some idiots were in the alley yesterday setting off fireworks in broad daylight. Yes, daylight. It started at around 11:30 in the morning, I think. One of them actually made me jump while I was on my computer.
That's all, I think.
Japan lost to Paraguay today. Spain beat Portugal, so the quarter-finals should be interesting...
I watched The Blind Side the other day. I loved it - Sandra Bullock was amazing in it. Next library DVD for me to watch is An Education.
I'm trying to finish Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I'm about a quarter, maybe a third of the way through.
I've been drinking tea again. I stopped for a little while because it was tasting odd to me, but I think I realized why: I was brewing my tea in my mug instead of in a measuring cup. I heat up the water in a plastic measuring cup in the microwave, so sometimes I would just put the tea bag in the measuring cup. Now that I've started doing that again, my tea isn't tasting funny, and my mug isn't too hot to hold.
Also, I'm knitting a dishcloth with some white and pink variegated yarn. It looks so cute! :)
I watched Japan's match against Denmark today, and they won 3-1!!! So now they advance to the Round of 16 :D
I'm thinking about doing a timeline post soon. I saw a post like that on one of my Ravelry friends' blogs and thought, hey, I should do one. After all, there are many karate and Girl Guides/Brownies/Sparks stories I haven't told.
I've been thinking about Guides lately. I was a Spark for one year, a Brownie for two, and a Guide for one. The only reason I didn't go back for my second year of Guides was because the group was very small and disorganized - it was hard to get any badge work approved by a leader, because they only did an organized badge work 'judging' once in a while. And if I had gone back for a second year, I wouldn't have joined karate and met Holly, so I'm glad I didn't go back.
I do want to work on putting the rest of my badges on my Brownie and Guide sashes, though. I still have a handful for each sash that haven't been sewn on yet, and I should practice sewing anyway. I have to look in my mom's sewing box for thread, though, because I don't have any spools of my own. Either that, or I'll go to Len's or Fabricland to get a few colours of thread - I imagine there may be a 'starter kit' of thread.
That's all. See ya!
Sorry for the lack of posts. I think the World Cup has distracted me a little.
Not much has happened lately, which is probably why I haven't posted. The World Cup has been exciting: today, England won their match against Slovenia, but I'm not sure if they're advancing to the Round of 16, because I didn't catch the Group C stats.
Well, according to the official World Cup site, England and the USA are top of Group C! Huzzah! And Germany and Ghana have advanced, too! :D
I really don't know what else to say. Nothing's really happened.
I've been the World Cup, and it's been exciting. Today, New Zealand and Slovakia had a tie game, and so did Portugal and Ivory Coast. And yesterday, Japan won their first game. I was so excited :)
I watched Funny People the other day. It was okay. I thought Sandler was kinda crude in it, but I liked Seth Rogen.
Hmm, what else... I have a DVD and a CD to pick up from the library, and I'm expecting another DVD and CD.
