(no subject)

Hah, my brother just called me asking me for information on how to get started with knitting. My brother's best friend wants to get some knitting-related stuff for his girlfriend for her birthday. So what, I'm an expert now? Ahaha :{

Makati was too far for them today, but I did point them to Dreams Yarnshoppe just in case; if they do go that'll be the second person I'll have recced to Dreams :D

Also they didn't have the internet handy, or else I would have pointed them to synecdochic's beginner's guide on knitting. I may still do that later.


In other news, I managed to finish a sock yesterday, and then I knit through the night, and I am now past the heel of its pair.

It's striped but the stripes don't match! Not sure if anyone will notice. It's also blue and about knee high, and I'm not sure what I can match them with.

But the most important thing for me, see, is that the socks fit my feet exactly. Most of my other socks tend to have a ridiculous inch or inch and a half of allowance. This pair just fits like they were made for my feet -- which they are :D

grrr

I want to watch TV to put me to sleep, but I also cannot bear to listen to any sound right now, and I don't have the concentration to pick up a book.

Grrr, grrr, grrr!

Maybe if I run around and flap my wings I shall get tired and fall asleep *G*

ETA:
Oh no!

I dropped by the bookstore today, and got books. And I was so *insufferably* smug, because I had managed to fill in a couple of series that I had had the later books of, but not the earlier ones. (I have Howl's Moving Castle right now! I have had Castle in the Air for over a year, and been unable to read it because I couldn't get my hands on a copy of the first *G*)

And I got the first two books of the Westmark Trilogy by Lloyd Alexander, because I thought that I needed them to fill in the trilogy. And it turns out I don't have the third book anywhere O_O so now I must find the third book now!

(I. I kind of want to read the first two books, though, just because I loved his other series, the Chronicles of Prydain, so much? So I'm hoping these at least are decent.)

I feel like such a dork *rueful*

Ah well, I did at least get two more books by Garth Nix: The Ragwitch, and Shade's Children. I wanted Keys to the Kingdom, but they only had the fifth and sixth books so I decided not to (and please note again that I was *so* *very* *smug* while doing so, because I was avoiding the trap of another incomplete series on my shelves)

I feel like such a complete and utter dork ;_;

OTOH: books \o/

And hm. Maybe I can read something light, even though my concentration is all shot. I would rather be coding, but in my current state of mind, I would probably do something ridiculous :D
