Hedonist crochet

Was always losing my crochet implements. Bought this hedonist looking fellow from the thrift store, meant for remotes but now bearing my hooks, scissors and stitch markers. I added a crocheted panel on the left, for darning and sewing needles. Even a spot for the tape measure, and an armpit left over for a remote!

life updates

I'm making my first slippers. Vair easy pattern! I've had poor luck with ones bought on etsy (wore out or stretched out) so now must make my own.

Not much going on in my life. I'm starting to focus more on my short time left, what I feel I still need to learn while I'm here.

And on a practical level, looking to maybe buy a hatchback wagon and sell my sedan. More room to move stuff home, and for buying furniture. It's what I wanted in the first place, but was in too much of a rush last time we shopped.

Did I mention my dad had his surgery to remove prostate cancer? It all went well, he's at home recovering.

That's about it for me. Hope you're all well. :-)

Fave 3 movies in 2013: Hot stuff!

Favorite Movie: Oh my I watched a LOT of TV and movies this year, because of all my Depressions and then Crochets.

Rom coms, as we know them from the 80s (the greats like Moonstruck, When Harry Met Sally) have pretty much died out. I'm an easy going viewer, but even I think that the conventional rom com in the 2000s is crap. I agree with Billy Mernit that the best rom coms now are hybrids. Like "Warm Bodies" which is a totally successful, romantic, and funny mash up of a rom com and a zombie movie.

42 was another great one. Oh I love me a good sports movie. Robinson comes off as one cool dude.



Best rewatch: Hadn't seen The Full Monty in years. It's so brilliant. And here's the best scene, which almost wasn't included... the unemployed guys waiting in line for their govt cheques
