sharks and birds and sweater update

first off, are you WATCHING THIS??? i am watching now and not really looking at the computer too much so let's see how i type. go discovery channel, go! (in case you're not interesting in clicking, i am watching the discovery channel's planet earth series which started about 32 minutes ago.)

did you see that great white shark get the seal? amazing. totally amazing. that one second kill was stretched out to 47 seconds. you can almost see each drop of water fly in the air.

i have a new philosophy on courtship. i think humans should follow bird behavior. males should clean up their nests to make it attractive for a mate. then, he should get all gussied up and dance, >DANCE!< to impress the ladies. we'd have our pick of the best housekeeper, dresser and dancer who's all about doin' the deed and makin' some baby chicks. sure, he won't stay around but it'd be fun while it lasts.

if you haven't noticed, check the "movies" section on the right. i am updating this section every time i see a movie. i am putting a link to imdb there, too. most of them are from the cable "on demand" thing. i have it, i may as well use it! very nice, considering i'm spending a lot more time alone now. boo.

anyway, i am once again obsessed with tyrone power. he's so dreamy. i watched 1939's "jesse james" with ty (we're on a first-name basis) and henry fonda. yes, yes, i'm the one who threw things at the tv while watching "the patriot" several years back thanks to the historical inaccuracies, but there were lots of things i didn't like about that movie. this one was good because tyrone powers is so dreamy. i had a major hollywood crush on him my freshman year of college. too bad he had died 39 years earlier.

so, here is a sweater update. i went to wonderful stitch dc today. marie hosted a "yarn tasting" fundraiser for a woman doing a triathalon benefiting the leukemia and lymphoma society. i went to knit with others and make a donation. (marie also said they're going to be updating their web site soon, so more on that later.) everyone was impressed with my seed stitch abilities because it isn't as easy as straight knitting...k1,p1,k1,p1...and so on. it hurts my hands a lot sooner than usual. here is my progress. after 5 days, i am pleased. if i continue like this i should have the back done by saturday.
i need 40 cm and i'm at 22, as you can see.



plus, rabbit enjoys folding socks.
