Lame
I havent' been posting 'cause I got nothing people.
Nothing.
I suppose I could do a short update for you...
On the knitting front, I'm working on a very boring-to-knit but very pretty garter stitch wrap made with yarn from Rhinebeck. And I've taught two girls at work how to knit. We have short lessons at lunch. They are both really good and picked it up fast. I feel lunch knitting circles coming on.
On the gym front. I've been trying without success to go to a pilates class at my gym. See in order to go to the pilates classes at my gym you have to first attend a beginners class. Well there is exactly ONE beginners class that I can barely make it to if I leave work early. So tonight I left work early, got to the gym 15 minutes before the class started, and found out it was full. Gah! So I went to spinning instead. I like spinning class. It makes me feel hard core in that I'm-willing-to-feel-like-I'm-going-to-puke-in-order-to-be-in-shape kind of way.
On the work front, the pants started working with me this week. We worked together before at a previous job and it was fine. I know for a lot of people working with their husbands would be a nightmare, but for us it goes pretty smoothly. We barely speak to each other all day and then when we come home we try not to talk about work - so it's almost like working separately.
And lastly on the entertainment front: I saw Walk the Line on DVD last night. Could I be more behind? Johnny Cash was a troubled man. I loved the movie. Don't take pills people. There's not a June Carter out there to save everyone. That's how Elvis ended up dying on the toilet. (I know they say he didn't actually die on the toilet, but I'm not sure I buy the story that he was reading in a barber's chair when he died.) And I have tickets to see Neko Case Saturday. Some shows coming up I hope to see: Built to Spill, Pretty Girls Make Graves,, Citizen Cope, and the Captain Morgans' Festival where Ween will be playing (even though the jam bands last year made me want to scratch my eyeballs out). Who's with me?

I enjoyed Walk the Line too. Very good movie.
Have a great time at the Neko Case show. I love her stuff.

Not a jam band fan either.
Saw Ween here a couple of years ago and they were great!
I went to my first Pilates lcass recently (I like to capitolize it because then it seems like the word Pirates) and my stomach is killing me. It kicked my ass.
Well worth taking off work early if you can manage it.
And it's official. I'm the last person in the world to see Walk the Line.

I really enjoyed Walk the Line as well. The whole Carter family really saved him, huh?
Enjoy Neko. I was hoping to see the New Pornographers, but no Detroit show. : P
