All kinds of stuff that happened:
Oct. 17th, 2004 03:39 pmToday our office got re arranged so I can be online or writing at the same time H is playing video games. This will not only increase the odds of my NaNoWriMo success, but also drastically increase the amount of time we spend together overall. So yay for us! Speaking of H, he got a ton of OT on his last cheque, so he wants to try a new restaurant this week. We've never been to Macaroni Grille (though I've had their catered food @ Madstone) or Mediterrano so I imagine we'll be trying one of those. Any tips?
With Halloween approaching, I've been talking a lot about horror. in fact, I'll even be watching Cannibal Holocaust this week, thanks to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
psychswitch and his magical horror lending library.
But I do want to mention one of the other great joys of Halloween, as in the topic of this amazing candy quiz I did pretty well on it, but didn't know 3 of them.
In case I forgot to mention, Team America was goddamn hilarious. That's good, since I actually had to pay with money out of my own pocket to see it.
Blast and damn!
Going out later mainly to avoid being home when that long-ass Farscape thing is on. H is, of course, stoked about it.
We watched Vampire Hunter D today, which I had never seen before. It was quite good, but a little over the top in terms of overall gothiness. You can kind of see all the little Hot Topic kids losing their minds over it while you watch. But I must say, it was pretty cool. Later we're supposed to watch Akira. I'll let you's know how I like it.
This is also the week that I learn to crochet.nate100101 loaned me some of his crocheting tools, and I've joined an Lj comm which amazingly, is active and involves knitters and crocheters who meet up twice a month in Ypsi and Ann Arbor. Amazing! The book I have says "Learn to crochet in just one day" but I'm setting aside most of the week. I'm going to try to make H a scarf for his birthday, a nice one. And then movie on to bags and hats and cool stuff like that--if I can actually get the hang of it. The lovely fyreangel is also sending me some needles and such that should be arriving any day now. I'm super stoked to get it too!
I'm also a little worried that I will suck miserably at it. I have had some rather disastrous encounters with latch hook rugs in my youth. For whatever reason, certain crafty thing escape me. Although...I used to design my own cross stich patterns and do them, which was sweet. i also used to do regular embroidery too...but for whatever reason, I haven't in years.
Wow...this turned into a really long, rambely post. Sorry about that, kids.
