Apparently, knitting was the hobby that I most desperately wanted but never knew it until now. I've spent far too much of my time the past few days knitting up a storm, watching movies, and going to bed far too late at night.

In fact, I've knitted all the way through

My Best Friend's Wedding (as previously mentioned)

The Devil Wears Prada (better than expected)

Desk Set (classic Hepburn/Tracy: she's a librarian, he's the computer engineer who's making her job obsolete)

"Studio 360," featuring interviews w/ Tom Stoppard, Isabelle Allende & Darren Aronofsky

"This American Life," about reruns in everyday life

Bleak House - all 15 hour-long episodes of the Gillian Anderson-starring BBC series (highly recommended)

Other projects:

dropped computer off for repairs

gradually writing and sending New Year's cards

tentatively planning for Columbus visits, including New Year's Eve activities

baking

sleeping

reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell (Christmas present!) and yuletide stories

first haircut since August, which required a 40-minute wait (sigh)

I'm ready to spend time with people who aren't family, thanks.
