Re: QM - The 80's
*waves at Sahi, Mabs and Gen*
Another beautiful day in the neighborhood. Public school started today, so the drive in was a bit congested, but not as bad as I feared.
On the knitting front: I am back to square one. A ball of yarn and empty sticks. *sigh* I found an error I had made in the pattern that I just couldn't live with. And it was too far back to fix.
I knit, tink I.

Re: QM - The 80's
A full day at the potting machine today - fun, but it does make my back hurt (the same movements over and over and over). I had this weird feeling today that my left hand belongs to somebody else - I'm still wearing the Castelfest bracelet, and since I don't usually wear any bracelets, it was somewhat confusing. I had to remind myself that, yes, this was my own hand, and there wasn't some other girl standing next to me doing my work.

Re: QM - The 80's
And a funny thing - first the ladyboss asked me if I wanted any of the purple potatoes she'd just gotten. Then she told me if I wanted any aubergines, just to help myself - she had too many. I happily said yes to both offers. Then I went to the farm for some other vegetables, and after I'd paid, the ladyboss there asked me if I wanted any blueberry cake (I worked there for two summers, so it's not as if they're giving cake to just anybody). I took a piece, started eating and then laughing - three purple gifts in less than an hour!
But now I'd better go and turn those aubergines and potatoes and whatever else I've got into some dinner.

I guess it is a good day to do purple things.

Hm, yeah, that would be a good thing, too - I have a vague idea of what I want to write for NaNo, but some actual plot would be good. BUt I'm still too busy thinking about all sorts of other stuff to think about that. Besides, I already know it's no good to try and force a story to reveal itself.

Re: QM - The 80's
Yeah, this year my story idea is too vague to even start. Really have to beg some people for ideas soon. So far all I have is that I want to write a story about women in IT for young girls.

Re: QM - The 80's
Yesterday night, I dreamed I was at Castlefest and had lost my glasses. (Very bad - how am I supposed to find my glasses if I can't see anything? And with all those people around, too.) Then I got up and actually couldn't find my glasses! Apparently my subconscious remembered I hadn't put them in the usual place at night. Luckily my mother had found them - I don't know how they got there, but she says they were in the laundry with my towel.

Re: QM - The 80's
Yeah, I don't think they'd have been too happy in the washing machine! And I have only a very vague idea where my old glasses are - finding them would have taken some time!

Re: QM - The 80's
Maybe try to find those now and put them in some spot where you can find them more easily? That way you probably won't need them. :)

Re: QM - The 80's
True!
But first I should go wash the dishes. And water my plants. I've hardly watered anything since we got back from holiday, shame on me.

Re: QM - The 80's
I hate it when I lose my glasses. Its a similar experience to trying to find a light switch in an unfamiliar hotel room in the dark. When your drunk. And the switch is in another room. On the ceiling.

Re: QM - The 80's
I have re-arranged my living room..... but now there is constantly something lurking in the corner of my eye when sitting in front of the computer, and it looks (from this angle) like a ginormeous cat-butt.... I keep thinking to myself that it's Bobby... but it's the cat-tunnel... It's freaking me out!

Re: QM - The 80's
Hi Mint it´s morning here and I´m having my second cup of coffee while pondering if not going to gamescom was the right decision. We would have been able to go there saturday or sunday but its a freakin loooooong drive and probably the two most crowded days at gamescom. Like -wait 2 or 3 hours to play the demo- crowded. BUT the GuildWars2 Demo Videos look so awesome, gamer girls heart jumping up and down in happy excitement here. Me wants to play NOW! Also its our first wedding anniversary this sunday...can´t believe a year passed that fast. Still feels strange to say "my husband" I mean he´s been "boyfriend" for 9 years...he. But I got used to my new surname by now. First few months everytime I called my parents and they said their surname I was still going "yeah here too ...ummm not!"

Re: QM - The 80's
Woohoo! I just got a shitload of books from a friend of mine. She was going to get rid of them and offered all her friends the opportunity to take what they wanted. So she was quite pleased when I took about half of what she had left. Lots of detectives, most of them in Dutch. (Miss Seethon, Miss Pollifax, Perry Mason)

Gen, you obviously haven't read any of my essays. I think they are enshrined at the "Museum for Bad Homework," in the "Special Collections" wing.
