itsallovernowFirst of all, I've missed many a birthday, not the least of which were the natal days of both ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
haphazardmethod and cofax7. Ladies, I hope the coming year brings everything you wish for and deserve!
And if you'd like an insta-drabble as a prezzie, name your poison. Which reminds me that I still oweiamsab a Fry/Leela drabble.
And to whomever else I missed the birthday of (there's something funky in the construction of that sentence but I hesitate to guess what), HAPPY BIRTHDAY and swing on by for a drabble if you'd like. I make no promises in regards to time, but the will and intent are totally there.
Crocheting goes on apace. Finished my dad's afghan, finished my mom's scarf and started on the arm warmers which do not match the yarn I pulled out to construct them with. They'll be a prototype, I guess. Found a fantastic yarn store near my house - Black Sheep Knitting - which sells extremely pricey yarn. I oohed and ahhhed and came home with four tiny skeins of mohair and acrylic at $8 a pop because no matter how beautiful the $40 a skein yarn is, anything I make from it will still look like I made it and that's a lot to pay for that privilege.
Once upon a time, I had deep meta thoughts about SOMETHING. Fact is, I'm too tired and strung out to have even regular thoughts about much. I remember driving down Sunset, wanting to post about the value of education - particularly a classical liberal arts education and why I think everyone deserves one, but aside from college good, ignorance bad, I don't remember where I was going with it. Perhaps I was just riled up by the idea that people keep pressing that knowledge and education for the sake of making you a more rounded individual is no longer worthwhile. And I was left with the feeling that yes, I do think I am "better" for having this body of knowledge, this perspective on people and place and history and culture and language. I do think it makes me more someone I value than someone who lacks this, and while it's definitely a type of absurb snobbery, I've realized that it's not the formalized education that I value (well it is, I very much value my formal and pricey education), it's the seeking of knowledge. I don't care much for people who don't seek to increase the scope of their universe, however they do it.
Once upon a time, I also might have had thoughts on "Earl", or "Heroes", which were the only two things I managed to watch last week, but they were fleeting and joyful and not at all deep. Except to say that Earl is doing excellent continuity, and dude, who knew?
