So...

On my whiteboard next to my calendar, for Wednesday I had written in that I would post to this blog. Completely forgot until I was getting into bed, thinking 'Oh, well, there is always tomorrow'. I didn't even think about it yesterday, but today I am here - better late than never?

I was having a read of some of my older posts and noticed that I had mentioned my Doctor Who scarf. Completing the scarf is one of my bucket list items! I am nearly halfway through making it. In the older post I mentioned not knowing if I would use single or half-double crochet and if I would make it 8" or 12" wide ... I decided to make it the wide version (it ended up 11.5", close enough) in half-double crochet. To figure out if I could do it without using up all of the hand dyed yellow I crocheted 10 rows and weighed it, divided the weight by 10 to get the weight per row, calculated how many rows I would need to complete the yellow stripes, then multiplied row count by row weight ... LOL. I had plenty!

Speaking of BBC ... I am now obsessed with Sherlock! After avoiding watching it for so long because I knew I would become addicted (just like a few other TV shows I am avoiding ... I have enough obsessions!) I finally borrowed the first season from a friend. As soon as I had finished watching the first episode I jumped online and ordered all three series! A few weeks later I had also purchased a Sherlock jacket and set of mugs from the UK ... I'm screwed!

I need to head off now, I'm helping out with tuck shop at The Chooks school.

P.S. I forgot about this lame poem I had to write for my poetry unit:

It was an exercise I had to do which required putting 100 words in a container, pulling them out and creating a poem.

Deplorable

You go further than a demiurge,

Amorphous plebeian.

Grand in your prideful ways,

Your intention notorious.

You're a meticulous juggernaut

Of compiled avarice.

Oh, tantalising travesty,

Graffiti with abandon!

You behave like a cloistered cat,

Bedevilled and deluded!

Betwixt the infidel and blade,

An apt finale.

Binge Watching

Last night I went on a binge of an anime I purchased earlier in the day.

I headed to another town yesterday (to JB Hi-Fi) to go and buy two Wii U games (they were each $20 less than anywhere elsewhere) for The Chook's birthday, which is coming up in a few weeks. I couldn't help myself from browsing the shops other wares.

I came to the anime section and went on a hunt for a certain Studio Ghibli film, though while they had many, the one I was after was missing. So, I started looking for other anime that I knew ... and found one that had been airing on TV recently, which (while I had missed the first few episodes) I had coincidentally become rather fond of. I couldn't help myself, I purchased it and in the evening began watching it ... which then became early morning - I had watched all 26 episodes! Oops. I guess I miss watching anime.

FYI, the anime I speak of is Ouran High School Host Club. I can hear laughter ...

I also picked up three children's films (buy 2 get the third free) - Despicable Me 1 + 2 and Rise of the Guardians. I also purchased Tim Minchin and the Heritage Orchestra - Live at the Royal Albert Hall ... I love Tim Minchin's songs! I spent WAY too much money, but it was nearly worse - so I did control myself to a degree - that counts, right?


Speaking of watching TV, the Doctor Who box set came in the mail 2 days after the last post. I had also gone to a local store and purchased the 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition (even if the 'Australia tax' is insane). Oddly enough I have yet to watch more than the first episode - I had put it on to make sure it would work and couldn't help but watch at least one episode! So, I guess I'll be binge watching Doctor Who now ... but I also have NCIS season 11 awaiting my attention too!

Oh, boy. For someone who doesn't watch an awful lot of TV, I'm certainly watching an awful lot of TV! *Help Me!*

I think I shall go now,
