I really do mean to do daily meaningful posts, but my life is so boring!

Lets see, my show opened, thats good, Yelena came with 2 other Russians, I thought of them 1st, since its a Russian book.

I confessed I had not read Crime and Punishment, though I did buy it, and might very well read it some day. I am curious now, since a review sort of mentioned that it covers maybe less than a 1/4 of the book. It might be too religious for me though, I know the play's theme is redemption through confession and forgiveness. And they talk about the resurrection of Lazarus... a lot.

Went to dinner with Yelena last Thursday... yummy thai food. At Tup Tim Thai... I even tried something different. I tend to order the same things. It was garlic pork I think... and Yelena had beef salad.

ummmm I got up at ass crack (6am) to work with the scene shop moving some stuff on Friday... I had big plans for what I was going to do during the really long break from noon to 630pm when I had to go back to work to do a show. Yeah.... well I took a nap, and knitted some.

I cleaned the kitchen, hallway and bathroom on Thursday too, but since then I have done no housework. There is so much crap, I am not sure where to start.. and I think I might be lazy.

I ordered a new computer... this one works fine, but at any moment now it could fail. and I would cry... no seriously I would cry! So, I upgraded a little. I got a new computer desk too... I say got, but I ordered them on line, so it might take a tiny bit for them to come.

Unfortunately I left the remaining money of what I had saved for the computer and such in my checking account. So, I have gone a little crazy. The costco thing, well that was food, and now I am good for over a month. But the Yarn, well, Hilltop had a sale, I really only buy sock yarn at yarn stores, since for the amount you need for a sweater is cheaper to buy online, if you don't care that the color is closed out, or the yarn itself. But I let myself buy sock yarn as impulse. I'm too cheap to buy anything more than $20 for enough for a pair... but there was a sale, anyway I got enough for 2 pair, oh, and a book - about socks. The book is not fabulous, but it is interesting, the yarn - one is a blue purple colorway in alpaca and merino - very fuzzy, and the other is a colorway in purple blue and lime green - the green really pops, its in 100% superwash merino. I think the one with the lime green might turn into the Battlestar Galactica socks, maybe.

All this yarn extravagance might have been fine.... if not for the fact that the following day, I bought 2 more, not on sale from the sock brewery... both kits for a Knit a long mysery sock pattern that starts 15 days before sock wars four, one would have been enough to do the knit along... in fact I didn't need to buy yarn at all. I have some already. But the kit comes with beads. Now the question of why two....? well there were 2 options, one a purple/lavender, and one a yellow... the lavender one, a no brainer, its my favorite color... I haven't got any purple socks yet, but that doesn't mean I don't have the yarn to do it. Then I thought, I have alot of purple yarn and I have never even own any all yellow sock yarn, how nice for summer! But I couldn't not buy the purple. Terrible.

My only excuse is, while during this economic downturn, I have a good job that is relatively secure, at least till next January. I am afraid I might not be able to buy yarn in the future.
So even though I have enough to knit for 2 years and not run out... (I think) Not including gift knitting which is not ever my fancy impulse yarn, but yarn purchased with the recipient in mind, and then knit for them in a reasonable amount of time.

well anyway.. I have laundry to get.
