Look who's procrastinating

Uh-huh. Should be doing something 'constructive', but I'm not. The day is young, though.

So on Tuesday I watched It Might Get Loud. Thanks to Jack White, I'm now listening to White Stripes songs on YouTube. My sister would be proud - she keeps going on and on about how great the White Stripes are. I never hated them, but I didn't think Jack White was a great choice as a third-generation guitarist for the film, and thought that Billie Joe Armstrong would've been better. Now I say he was a good choice.

And last night I whacked the top of my foot on the underside of the downstairs fridge. Serves me right for not moving the heap of towels out of the way before walking past the fridge. So when I walk down to the library later, I'll have to put a bandaid on my foot.

The Calorimetry is going alright. I think the yarn is part-wool, because I was able to snap a piece off the skein, so I won't put it in the washing machine. I'll probably hand-wash it in the bathroom sink with my Eucalan woolwash so that it'll tighten up a little.

Today's happenings

Today I started a Calorimetry - that is, a second one. The first was an epic fail, because I used Patons Decor, which draped like you wouldn't believe. Anyway, it was too big. I'm hoping this one will work out. Someone on Ravelry steered me towards someone's modifications because a lot of people had the too big problem, but I've already started it, so I'll just keep going. It was nice of her, though.

Also, Grandpa wants to get some new family photos taken (don't ask... long story). I say: only if I get to wear my Led Zeppelin shirt. Or at least something punk-y.

I picked up the wretched clutch again

...and I figured out what was wrong with it - the stitches were twisted. So, after a bit of untwisting (and I think a bit of frogging as well), I fixed it. Hopefully the diamond pattern will show up. I probably should've practised the diamond pattern beforehand with some scrap yarn, but I didn't think of that at the time.

The Calorimetry is close to being finished - I have a few more Row 7 repeats to do, and then the Row 8 stuff, and the bind off. And sewing on the button, of course. I'm not sure what button I'll use - maybe I'll use the other purple button. Or the other star button. Speaking of buttons, I should get one of those bags o' buttons from Len's and start a button jar. My mom recently moved her button jar into a dish for easier access.

My dad bought cannoli from our favourite bakery today, because he and Mom were craving it, thanks to Phantom Gourmet. So I had three Sicilian cannoli. Yum :)

Oh, and Mom thinks that Dad was faking the headache to get out of going to church because he said that the loud TV volume wasn't bothering it. No comment.
