You know what's really f'ing metal? Or at least really, um, f'ing a cappella? Knitting! We ended up having an impromptu knitting seminar before the Hookslide show tonight: I would suggest that this is the least flattering photo of me ever taken, but I know there are people out there who would take that as a challenge.
That's me getting close to finishing the front of the fair isle pullover I'm making for the Fairy Godchild. The sleeves and back are already done, so maybe I can wrap this one up soon. I think I converted at least one person to Addi Turbo needles.
The show was excellent; Sarah ended up on stage at the end for a limbo contest. No actual winner was declared, but she totally had it. I liked the venue. Dennis and I are looking forward to being able to go to shows in Santa Cruz and Monterey once we move to the south bay. Which, yeah...I'm way behind on that whole packing thing.
It was a very good day, although I am now exhausted. Ryan, Sarah, and I went to the kid service at St. Ned's, mostly because it worked with our schedule, and it was pronounced 'not boring' so yay. Then the drive to Monterey to go to the aquarium. We had borrowed some member guest passes, which not only got us in free, it got us in the cool people entrance and out of the gigantic line.
The aquarium rocked as always; it kind of freaks me out to think about all the stuff in the ocean that we don't even know about, and how insanely bizarre so much of what we do know about is. I kept thinking back to the line from the eucharistic prayer, "Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself," - I like the idea of a God who also made jellyfish for himself. And manta rays and weird coral things. link | Comments []
