- I got to be in my land again!  I mapped out why I could never get anywhere from this one direction (it was walled off, apparently - nobody tells me anything), and I got to go shopping a bit.  The store looks a bit different every time I go.  I can't recall off-hand what it was I bought.

- This-all is because I took valerian, I figure.  I'm slowly starting to consider it to be a gateway drug - that being, a drug that takes me through that gateway, waha.  It also only lets me sleep for about six hours before it wakes me right the fuck up.  I slept more, and now I am beyond tired.

- I think I'm going to donate a bunch of my one-skein-at-best balls of yarn to this local thrift store (that specifically asks for yarn).  It's not useful for much else, to be honest, but I don't want to throw it away...  Or I'll post it to Freecycle or something, who knows.

- I want to stay in this process of processing yarn.  Right now, I have one bunch ready to be washed, one ready to be skeinified, and a box that is slowly filling up with yarn.  Tonight, I'll bust out a grocery bag for the <1ball balls of yarn.  I am dedicated to an empty closet.

- I covet this swiftCovet.  That and a C-clamp.  COVET.

- Once I ever get a laptop that functions as a laptop, I'm idly contemplating turning this TV set I have (don't ask) into a just-a-movie-player thing, using my current busted-ass laptop and... whatever cables are involved.

- This Sunday, I'll be getting an actual bed!  With like a frame and everything!  More impetus to clean my room tomorrow.  It's otherwise fine, just cluttered with yarn, and I want to sweep a bit.  And then I'm getting more sweaters!  All this from [livejournal.com profile] trista, who (a) is awesome and (b) will be moving to town soon omg omg yay.

"There are two kinds of knitters in the world:
the sort who, upon finding that their yarn has
become as tangled as a teenage love triangle, would
sooner chew off their own arm than enjoy untangling
it; and the kind who will take that same mess of a
knot and not just sort it out but take a lot of pleasure
in restoring order. I'm not saying which is the better
trait, but I do think that the knitting world could
benefit from some sort of registry that would help
them find each other."
--Stephanie Pearl-McPhee

I'm sure Ravelry has something for this.  I'm just as sure, if not more than sure, that I need to be in on it.  I'm the latter sort - untangling things makes me deeply happy.

Relatedly, there's this gigantic tangle of holy-crap bubble-gum-pink yarn that is demanding to know why I haven't made it into a thneed yet.  I'm working on it, I swear.

Just not today.  Arms are like my brain - given to spurts of doom, that pass quickly if I avoid related stimuli.  And yet I'm here!  Hm.
