So...um, there are 2 particular things which leave me pondering at the moment:
(1) I knew that creating a blog about my knitting would interfere with actual knitting, since I can only do one thing at a time...ack! Must...put...down...laptop!
(2) I succumbed to the brainwashing @ the Internet Librarian Conference and upgraded to the new 2.0 release of Firefox. (I still need to upgrade to XP/IE6.0 SP2 before I can upgrade to IE 7.0...one tech imbroglio at a time.) My boyfriend is amused each time I run into something that doesn't quite work right -- like the lack of a session saver extension for 2.0 -- and wishes me much happiness in my early adoption. Sigh. I might revert back to FF 1.5 since 2.0 still doesn't seem to like forms in webpages. We'll see.
Oh! And FF 2.0 doesn't seem so happy with Blogger either, at the moment. Doh!
Well, in order to at least remedy part of problem #1, I've discovered a great tactic to both (a) get time with my sweetie, and (b) crank out yardage: Sunday football viewing !
He is patiently teaching my the finer points of football strategy (TiVo is great for freeze frame tutorials! heh) since I basically knew only about the 4 downs...he also gave me Watching Football (now only $2.99 on Amazon) by Daryl "Moose" Johnston so I can differentiate between all of the butts, uh..I mean, ends, and backs, and why the refs are so yellow flag happy, etc., etc. Although, like last year, my boyfriend has offered to forgo football on Sundays, I decided to use that time to my advantage (ha! see [a] and [b] above).
Also, reading Michael Lewis' engrossing new book, The Blind Side whetted my appetite, and this from a football ignoramus. Then again, this is the guy who wrote Liar's Poker -- he could probably make paint peeling a gripping read.
