missv day! :D
Today, or now technically yesterday, I was snowed-in. It started out not-so-bad, but the snow picked up just as soon as cabin fever set in, so I ended up spending the whole day sitting around knitting. I made one mitten of Noro Shinano, ABT (All But Thumb), wool and silk in colors similar to a tweedier Kureyon. Started a scarf in Kureyon #40 to match my weird wrap hat, then came to a drastic conclusion: I'm going to unstitch the wrap hat where it's sewn to turn it back into a scarf, and use the remaining balls of yarn to make a new hat... so I pulled out the 3" of scarf that I'd knit. Watched utterly inane Golden Globes preview coverage until I was able to wrest television control from the semi-catatonic parent, after which I watched Amelie on DVD, which I haven't seen in a while, and then the Golden Globes.
OK, first of all - the Golden Globes are utter BS, you know that, right? Good, now that that's out of the way... I was super-happy, first of all, that Return of the King got all its awards. Peter Jackson so deserved the damned things, and so did Howard Shore. I was surprised but also happy that The Office, which is as excruciating as it is funny, cleaned up in the comedy series and tv comedy actor awards. Still want to see Lost in Translation, which did very well in the comedy categories. ( and about Cold Mountain... )
Am indeed going to the Cure release party on Tuesday. Now to decide what is just the right level of "fabulous." Ness.
