Thursday's in Flames
- Latest Contest: The Steven and I have been trying to outdo each other with Al Pacino impressions. (I actually am doing Alec Baldwin doing Al Pacino, but it works.)
- Watching: There has been nothing worth watching on television for the last three weeks. No loss.
- Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog DVD (great fun)
- Masterpiece's Jane Eyre; Ruth Wilson makes a very good Eyre with very convincing meltdowns.
- Listening to: that horrible Librivox recording of Eyre. The accent (increasingly patrician) is still a train wreck, but I need something to listen to while cross stitching. Does anyone have any suggestions?
- Project Statuses: Obama cross stitch: 65% done. Looking good, but I am out of blue.
- Spinning: Crown Mountain Farms Wild Horses, superwash. The fiber is mostly pre-drafted (aerated, but in a controlled way) so it's spinning up very fast. Browns, greys and some very fiery oranges and reds.
- Latest Yarn Lust: Blue Moon Fiber Art's Spirits series. I am holding out buying anything before Stitches West. Even then, restraint will be practiced, even if the mighty but tiny Jessica can get me to the STR booth first.
- Reliving: vacation. Tidepooling and stormy days, particularly.
- Overly Fond of: commas.
- Blog Reading: Mark Bittman's excellent post about cleaning up kitchen staples.
- Office Accessories: Shawl, extra sweater. Might as well move work outside.
- Still Obsessed with: the Shiba Cam. They have promised us new puppies soon.

any of Nuala O'Faolain's books, wow. and much as I hate to admit it, Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series.
