That Settled Feeling...

...I almost haz it :)

There's still a couple of boxes hither and yon, and we have yet to figure out what to do with all the stuff Heather and Dan left (donation stuff, things she figured I could try to garage sell, etc) and all the empty boxes (most of which belong to Kevin and Candyce). Still, it's getting there!

Late, as usual, to the party I have only just started a Lady Eleanor shawl. Although most of the examples I've seen of Lady Eleanor feature yarns with long stretches of color (so that the blocks seem like patchwork), I love this blue-grey mix that reminds me of comfy blue jeans. And it knits up rather quickly, even if I did have to resort to several internet tutorials and the entrelac forums on Ravelry!

Last night, Dan and I watched the second half of Metallica S&M, one of the birthday gifts his brother sent him. We'd watched the behind the scenes stuff on Monday night, but I was still feeling blech and so went to bed while Dan reveled in the first disc.

As you may know, I am not a Metallica person :) and so am completely unfamiliar with their music. This was quite a nice introduction, though, as the layers with the symphony and their electric whatsises was really nicely done.

To show my support for a musical genre loved by my son as well as my boyfriend, I mentioned that I know how to do those "devil horns" things with my fingers...and immediately presented a shaka. =/

Perhaps not a metal-head but an aloha-head. Oh, well.
