Check it, I'm back!

First and foremost, were any of Sunday Night FOX's shows new this week? I got back in town much later than expected. So apart from an emergency phonecall about sharks on 60 minutes, I have no idea what transpired on my second favorite TV night of the week.

That said...

I saw this whip-ass TV meme, and now you can see it too:

My "Everybody Loves It And I Do Too" Show: Lost

My "I'll Catch It on DVD" Show: Desperate Housewives

My "I LOVE IT AND YOU SHOULD TOO" Show: Battlestar Gallactica

My "I Love, But Keep Missing, Dammit" Show: Boston Legal

My Guilty Pleasure Show: None. Everything I watch is of the highest quality. And if you don't buy that, Smallville

My "Comfort Food" Shows: Law & Order, L&O SVU

My "I'll Never Abandon You, EVER" Show: The Simpsons

My "OMG, When The Hell Are They Going To Put That On DVD?!" Show: The Monkees (shut up!)

I had a super-happy-fun-time weekend with K, N, and S at N's parents vacation house. We burned a lot of firewood, and ate a fair amount of unhealthy food. That S is a delight. Plus, N helped me start the scarf I'm going to try to crochet for H for Xmas. I'm using camoflage yarn (it's what H picked out before the last time I tried to crochet something) and the excellent tools I got from [livejournal.com profile] fyreangel many moons ago. And can I just say...it's really hard.

As many of you know, I have never successfully crocheted anything before, as the various yarn related arts have always escaped me. For serious. I tried for six months to do a latch hook rug and just couldn't figure it out. I think it's some kind of mental block. In fact, I've already screwed the scarf up once. I sort of stiched the wrong row because I couldn't figure out which row it was supposed to be toward the middle. It's kind of confusing, or else it's not and I'm moron. Anyway, I'm approaching it with an I love it Wednes, because YOU made it mentality. I'm sure H will appreciate my efforts and would wear it even if it was the ugliest scarf he'd ever seen in the history of mankind...and I can probably do slightly better than that.

We've received some awesome holiday cards from folks. Many thanks for that. I also recieved a refund for a movie I got from Amazon because I gave the seller a 3. She emailed me politely and I told her why I gave her that rating and she refunded me. So that was cool.

Lest anyone assert that I am reluctant to blindly follow fads, here is one of those obnoxious glittery things people are posting:

love the meme, i hope i remember to do it!

glad you had a good time! camoflauge yarn would be cool to see/work with. the only yarning/crafts i really ever did was as a kid w/my grandma. just the basic crocheting and i can knit a scarf but that is IT.

I'm pretty good with other kinds of crafty things. I can embroider pretty well, and have designed and done my own large and fabulous cross stiches. But the yarn...damn yarn!!
