The Hazzards of Knitting.

My music is randomly shuffling. This makes me quickly realize how many awful CD's I loaded onto there from working at the radio station! I need to clean iTunes up...

Let's kick this off with my newest comic! See if you can spot the Jack Nicholson reference!

Knit, knit, knit, knit, redrum.

I really have been doing a lot of knitting recently, though (although killing everyone in my immediate vicinity hasn't yet become my aim. Yet). I woke up about a week ago and realized that life was going to move slowly no matter what I did. My solution? Start working on an involved knitting project that would take me hours and hours of my life to go through before completion. It's working for me!

Things I'm looking forward to:

-An extended weekend trip with my sister that begins tomorrow! This includes swimming, music-playing, lots of reading, photography, yoga, kayaking, writing, goofing off with hermana numero dos, hiking all over sleeping bear dunes, and all other sisterly mayhem we can muster up (can anyone say dressing up like a hooker and visiting the library/video rental store/christmas choir performance? Yes. Yes we can).

-Packing for said trip (nearly as fun as leaving for the trip because it makes you realize all the fun stuff you'll be doing!).

-A nice morning run

tomorrow

, also with hermana numero dos.

-A new song to come onto iTunes; preferably one that doesn't make me want to wash all the dye out of every bright piece of clothing I own.

-The end of August, which is only 14 days away! It'll all be over before we know it!

-Finishing my current writing piece.

And on that subject, I have decided that my current writing project needs to be cut a bit shorter than I originally planned. I started taking it in this new, long-winded direction and it's just lost a lot of the luster that it used to have. I'm going to re-direct it and then cut out a lot of the boring stuff that was clogging up the middle parts. Hopefully this improves everything! Sometimes, you just need to face the facts and rip out a lot of stuff that really isn't working. For me, that's the whole middle part. But hey! That's just like when you're about to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and you realize that all you want is the crust! Wait...

So, today, I went out to the Botanical Gardens and shot some photos. I was pretty happy to get out and capture some images again. I think it was a mostly successful trip, too! I'll post my favorites from the day so you can ogle my talent, basically.

Hopefully, my next update will include lots of stories from a successful and not rained-upon weekend trip!
