A pair of gloves is *almost* finished. All I need is a nice piece of ribbon and that'll be that. I began them at a grad student retreat on Whidbey Island last year, when a bunch of us decided to get together on a weekend and talk shop. Someone was illustrating a point by saying something about how we're surrounded by X and Y all the time, but we don't take conscious notice of it. Then they said, "For example, we're all, oh I don't know, we're all wearing socks, but we don't even notice things like that."
I stopped the comment and said, "Er, I've actually noticed every one of your socks today."
So anyway, I have these nice gloves to remind me of that day's adventure and that's fun.
Tomorrow morning I get to hang at the social security office to get a replacement card - that oughta be an adventure!
And as for right now: I have me some Peter Murphy on the stereo, and I couldn't be more satisfied.
