Did you see the Colbert Report last night? I did. Jon, Patrick and I had VIP tickets to the show. Since we stood out front and arrived early (for once) we were able to catch Sean Penn getting out of his car (looking tan and tough, as usual.) That was pretty cool. And then there was 'the word' which was sooo weird! And one more thing:
A personal message to Mr. Colbert: I see you like Neutral Milk Hotel. I like Neutral Milk Hotel too. We were meant to be together. This is just one more sign. P.S. I hope you feel better.
After the show we walked around and over to Maxie's and had, you know, the best cheesecake in New York. I was disappointed and sad about not being able to go see Lisa Congdon's opening at Rare Device in Park Slope (Jon and Patrick decided to join forces to deny me the opportunity to see her work up close and personal.) The fresh strawberries on our delicious cheesecake might have made up for this disappointment though.
In other, not as interesting news, I've been knitting. and knitting, and knitting aaaahhhhnnnd knitting. Thermal isn't as much fun as I thought it would be but I'm sure it will be worth it when all is said and, uh, knitted. I'm still working on sleeve 1. It doesn't seem to be growing:
See what I mean? Because this project is becoming so tedious, I keep starting other projects. Here's 1:
I just bought this yarn yesterday after my dentist appointment in Denville. I also bought the needles (crystal palace- so nice!) yesterday. I started these babies sitting in traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel. We had an in-depth conversation about how someone needs to make another movie focusing on the Tunnel, because the only movie reference we've got is that shitty Sylvester Stallone movie. (ex. "Oh, I hate going through the Lincoln Tunnel!" "why?" "Haven't you ever seen Daylight?") Anyways, The socks are just my normal 64 stitch, short row heel & toe with a turned cuff... to look more professional, because the clowny stripes are so professional. It was a split second decision, give me a break.
Oh I also started another project but I'm not showing you the whole thing. Just a peek:
And I'm not gonna talk about it either, so there. See ya later.
