Look, I never said it was good. But I watched two eps back to back and suddenly needed to know what happens with Marco, Leanne, and the tall skinnyish straight guy. Like, a lot. And it's only gotten worse.

I'm only five minutes in. No need to get defensive quite yet.

That sucks, on the not!bill.

I can be defensive any time I want to, okay?

::sobs::

Man, if I ever had any cred, Mile High's going to sink it.

I *still* don't know if a thing for $550 for a last minute trip to a friend's ENT-cousin for an ear infection years ago (the one that loaded me up on steroid samples and threatened in-office ear tubes) was a bill or a statement. No bill collectors have come calling, so....

I need a new place to live. I'm about two minutes from calling 911 again.

I don't like the humans.

oh lord, sarameg. What's going on with the neighbors?

Oh! SoCal knitters and crocheters, have a look at Knit For The Cure -- they're asking for work done with some pink to be donated for resale, profits going to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Unsurprisingly, I knew this! I have a small pile of things that are being donated.

Humans live most places, though, sarameg, that would be convenient to your job.

What's happening?

I have one crocheted pink thing, made from some crinkly variegated almost-velour you gave me, Kat. I looked to see if Wildfiber had any like that (I need a black/grey scarf) and couldn't find any. I ended up with some wonderful-feeling merino-mix, but it's a bitch to see stitches in, so I'm confined to simple double crochet. Pfft.

The almost velour is whozzit. chenille, right? Or am I misremembering?

Lori and I braved Ikea. They didn't have what we wanted. It was like we were goldilocks and everything in the store is not quite right.

Actually, shopping Ikea is usually a lesson in lowering your standards or in accpeting the almost right as close enough.

I may be falling for Mile High too, ita. It's not good, by a long shot, but it's fun, and the people are pretty.

Almost velour sounds like chenille to me.

I am currently recording Mile High and may watch it someday if my DVR doesn't fill up before I can get to it. Which feels unlikely, given the redonkulous amount of schoolwork I should be doing.

At least I'm feeling ready for bed now, thanks to now quite enough sleep last night and two glasses of wine at dinner.

It's not as chenilley as that purple stuff I bought with you (I think you were there...scroll back for examples of me faking my own memories). It runs red through white, and has both a nap and a spring to it. It was pretty fun to work with, and has the most cuddly texture now that I'm done. But I need a scarf I can wear with anything, and that's not it.

Go team Mile High! I think the crap TV they show on BBC America is strangely addictive. If I get an hour in, there's always someone I'm shipping.
