I am a knitting fiend!!!

Got about 8" done on the sweater tonight, including the start of the armhole shaping. It's sleeveless, so shouldn't be a big deal, but this is only the second sweater I've done (the first was for a newborn from a relatively forgiving pattern) so I'm a bit nervous. I started knitting during The Apprentice and didn't stop until most of the way through David Letterman. Which means tomorrow will likely be a Vioxx day. But I was in the knitting zone! I couldn't stop!

On another note, ER has gotten more ridiculously bad than I thought it could. It's bad when an actor walks into the room and delivers a line in a completely ridiculous manner, simply because he has no idea of how to deliver it in a way that makes sense. Still, I am compelled to watch. It's like a train wreck.

Talked to mom briefly. She is still hung up on telling me every detail of the small town court battle my uncle (to whom we haven't spoken since I was in junior high school) has gotten himself into. I don't know how to tell her that I'm interested, but to skip the play-by-play and opinions of people that I don't remember ever having met. But she and dad may come up next weekend to see the Chihuly exhibit at the conservatory. I'm going to try to get them to tag along to the Buddhist art thing at the art museum too, though I don't know if dad will be interested in that at all. At the very least, perhaps I'll get good free dinner out of it.

I'm going to plan my Ikea trip this weekend. Looks very likely that I'll be picking up automat76 from the airport when she comes back, so I need to have my shopping list ready. And I need to remember that I drive a very small car, and will still need to fit her luggage in, along with any purchases. :-)

Which line did you mean?

I watched it last night for the first time in a long time- next week's previews cracked me up, with the tank rolling down the street. What next? Martians land in the ambulance bay?

It was something that doctor Pratt said in a trauma room. I think it was along the lines of, "That's what it means to be a doctor!" or something like that. I think I put it out of my head though.

I was so disappointed that I saw that preview for the tank next week. I'd seen previews a few weeks ago for it, and thought I'd conveniently missed that one. No such luck.

Martians are an obvious next step. :-)

coolio. and the ikea is only one exit ahead of the airport! i left directions in my apartment for you (not sure if my sister passed on that info).

and, dont worry about my taking up too much space in the car. i have my luggage piece from target that has all of my things in it and just one other bag, about the same size (in total area) that may be full of things sent home from SMA and/or purchases.

if there are any delays, i will be sure to get in touch with you. thanks again for the ride, too!

Well, I also need to fit *you* in the car. :-) And I'd rather not have to drive you chauffeur style, with one in the front and one in the back.
