He's finally healthy again! Just the "getting over a cold" cough.

Also, we got a milk frother at a Japanese dollar store and the packaging is a treasure trove of Engrish. Hilariously so.

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving, who lives in America and celebrates it! Mine was awesome and full of delicious food. My poor boyfriend's ongoing sniffles bloomed into a full-blown cold the day before we drove down to my parents', so he was pretty miserable that day. Fortunately he got about 14 hours of sleep that night and was much better on Thanksgiving. Now...

New set was rejected, but I shall persevere yet.

O-cha to Sumi-e.

Hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed shooting it!

Dear person my bedroom apparently shares a wall with:

Your closet appears to be right where the head of my bed goes. That means when you start loudly pushing clothes on hangers around in there, I can totally hear it because it's RIGHT NEXT TO MY HEAD. And it's LOUD.

I understand other people have different schedules than I do, but seriously. It was like,...

Holy shit, I hate knitting ribbing. It's more boring than doing something that requires actual thinking, like making gloves or knitting colorwork, but I have to actually look at what I'm doing so I can't just mindlessly knit while I'm watching TV. Also, it's slower than stockinette.

But my little sister asked for a gray ribbed scarf, so I will persevere. I'll just hate every...

I have an update on that whole attempted-sexual-assault thing. It's not a totally awesome one (they didn't catch the guy) but it's a good one nonetheless.

The door that I usually exit when leaving work has no real visibility of the outside street, since it's recessed. Today I talked to the CFO of the company and suggested that we get some convex mirrors to put...

Shooting went well and the new set is now pending. Hurrah!

In less awesome news, it is windy and pouring outside and not only do I have to walk to work, but I have to walk to the dentist as well today. Woo?

Also, happy one day late birthday Glico-Kitty! I'm glad you love your new catnip fish. Maybe a little too much...

I'm shooting again today! Wish me luck!

I was nearly sexually assaulted today.

I walk home for lunch. I left my building and was heading up the hill. There was a guy in a hoodie walking down the hill toward me. As our paths crossed, he leaned toward me and TRIED TO GRAB MY ASS. I ducked out of the way, so he missed. Thank goddess. I can't imagine how violated I...

Guess who got a proper lighting kit so she can shoot consistently lit sets?

Guess who also just finished crocheting the bag for her sister?

Guess who also is going to go collapse into bed now?

Done with the pair of socks! Now I'm working on crocheting a bag for my younger sister, which is going about eight billion times faster, let me tell you.

I need breakfast now.

I finished knitting another sock! I now have finished one and a half pair of socks! Victory is mine!

Kinda.

I still have a shit-ton of knitting to do before Christmas/Solstice. Fortunately my boyfriend is very accepting of this and understands that while I totally want to get his sweater done in time for the holidays, the presents for my family gotta come first. After...
