Ha. Apparently, when I blog drunk, I'm prone to alliteration?

I am consumed by the need for kitsch. I love it. (I found it linked on the cocktail monkey bag page; I need to make this bag.)

Fogging the view cupping face to the window
in darkness you make out a spiralling shape
Putting all reason aside you exchange what you've got
for a thing that's hypnotic and strange
The spiralling shape will make you go insane!

The scarf progresses.

I'm a knitting schizophrenic right now, jumping back and forth between Grace and Branching Out. I really want to finish Grace, but that scarf keeps calling to me...

To anyone who's emailed me in the past 12 hours:

I am not ignoring your email; we have no dial tone at home and everyone's too tired to call the phone company and find out why, so I'm currently stealing a neighbour's internet connection with my Airport. It is slow and frustrating, so I'm keeping my email as new until the problem is sorted out.

I am not ignoring you.

(Well, maybe you; but definitely not YOU.)

I think I’ve figured out the key to Pierre’s laissez-faire bravado: it lies in the line, “Good morning, darling boy/you are my only joy”..

Her ONLY joy? But she’s married with a husband AND a child. Obviously her husband brings her no joy—their marriage must be on the rocks. Could Pierre’s insistence that he doesn’t care simply be a child’s defense against the emotional trauma of a troubled home, teetering on the edge of divorce?
