Other stuff

And now, it's time for a proper post.

Church was interesting today. My mind kept wandering during the sermon, I'm ashamed to admit. It was a good sermon, actually. Our guest speaker is from another Canadian Unitarian church, and he was talking about how, even now, racism has not gone away, and how immigrants still don't feel at home in Canada.

Afterwards, I had a cup of strawberry tea while I waited for Mom to do her casserole ministry thing. I spoke to Stephen briefly, too.

I somehow managed to obtain some sort of nick on my bottom lip. It's weird. And, of course, I keep cleaning it with the back of my hand, which makes it bleed and feel weird. Ach.

I'm not sure what we're having for dinner. I don't know if Dad took anything out of the freezer. If not, there's always squash soup, some of which I had for lunch. Dee-lish!

I watched Iron Man while I ate my soup, then I got my Herbology assignment and worked on that while watching the rest of the movie. After two rows I had to stop knitting. Damn circular needle! I'm going to work on the mandrake blanket some more tonight, when I listen to The Legends of Classic Rock.

I don't know WHAT is in nanimo bars, but they're good!

More on nanaimo bars later.

So I went to church today. It was okay. It's just felt so phony since the minister was forced to resign. There was a potluck after the service, but we didn't stay for it because my mom had a NaNoWriMo meet-up to go to at a local cafe. I went with her, and I've decided to do NaNoWriMo this year - and yes, Dianna, I know I'm crazy ;) The folks who came were pretty cool. Mom and I each got a chai tea - well, actually, Mom got two. I don't know what my brother was talking about when he said that the coffee at the cafe is expensive, it's pretty reasonably priced to me. But then again, he's probably used to cheap Tim Horton's coffee... Anyway, I got a nanaimo bar later, and Mom got a tart. I actually started writing stuff down for a story, so it's lookin' good. It's mostly an outline at the moment. Actually, I have to get my outline out of Mom's purse, because she let me use her notebook to write stuff down. I was going to bring a book with me, but I forgot.

The knitting's going good. I made a teeny scarf out of my leftover rainbow Red Heart Traditions. It turned out shorter than I'd expected, so it's more like a neckwarmer. It kinda looks like one of the girls' Chilton ties from Gilmore Girls actually! I'll have to take photos of my knitting when I remember to...

Crap, I gotta finish Justin's scarf. I still have time, though.

I also have to start swatching for Breanne's headband.

Anyway... I started another skinny scarf with my yellow Red Heart Kids. And I'll probably make lots of skinny scarves with my acrylic. I can't believe I didn't think of this before!

I've almost finished watching season one of SNL. I think I have only one episode left to watch. Hehe. It's gonna be almost two weeks overdue!

I have a bunch of stuff waiting for me at the library. Mostly CDs, but a book on Photoshop CS3 is there too. After I pick that book up, I'll have to make a new badge image for the Tamora Pierce group on Rav.

I have to do math tomorrow.

Blah.

edited to correct my bad spelling

Time for a quick post of anger.

I just had to use two tea bags because someone cut the milk bag too much, so the hole was big, and thus my tea became far too milky. I suspect it was Dad, but I don't know for certain.

The good news, though, is that the library will be adding new items tonight at 6:00! Yay!
