I did finish the Williams article. Yay me. I then watched TV for three hours until it was time to go to the movie. Then I got home, bickered with Job a bit, had some tea and went to bed. Planned to wake up at 8:00am, read the Jameson article, and go to school.
So where are we now? 12:16pm. I've read four pages (out of 22) of the Jameson article. I slept until about 9:30, drank coffee, ate pizza and worked on another NYT crossword (gotta keep up with the calendar!) until 11:00, tried to read the Jameson but was really trying to work out a four-letter word for "1914 Belgian battlefront". Fredric Jameson, while I'm sure he's a Marxist genius, is not a friend of mine. At least not today.
The movie we went to see was Fun with Dick and Jane, which was much MUCH better than I thought it would be. I actually laughed out loud a couple of times. Of course the stinky, jittery druggie next to me made it a little less funny -- he almost kicked my drink onto the floor about 3 times --
I liked the association of the Alec Baldwin character with George W. Bush... the "now look at this shot" quote was great, and I didn't feel bashed over the head with the comparison. Maybe that's because I'm Canadian and we don't get bashed over the head with Bush everyday... but who am I kidding? All the TV I watch is American -- except Rick Mercer and Corner Gas -- Yay Canadian TV!
I also didn't get to knit very much, just a little during Grey's Anatomy last night, but then I miss stuff like the track marks on the 11-year-old girl/boy's wrist... luckily Job was there to remark frustratedly, "Did you see that?" knowing that I had not, in fact, seen that. What would I do without him? Anyway, I will put off posting a picture because I have not knit as much of "lace and cables" as I'd like to... the pattern will be much cooler when there is more of it. I'm actually thinking of branching out into design and making a cardigan/sweater thingy with this pattern. I don't know about sleeves and shaping and stuff, though. Scary. The picture I'm posting instead (because there has to be something to break up my rambling text) is of Job's nephew. I'm posting this because Job's sister is due on January 20th and I can't wait for pictures of the next one! Jacob is about 2 years old now.... this is an old picture, but he's still a cutie!
Okay. That's enough stalling for now. Back to Jameson for one hour and then I gotta go to class. Tonight I will post about the wonders of Canadian poet A. M. Klein, unless the class was boring, in which case I will complain about how boring A. M. Klein is.
