QotD: Saturday Night - at home knitting? Yep, you bet.
How are your Saturday nights different now than they were five years ago?
ha ha ha! well i'm currently house-sitting out in the country about 35 miles east of portland, oregon - i don't even care what's going on back in the city tonight, as long as i can find a decent couple of movies to stream while i work on these socks i've started for Mother's Day.
yes, that's how my Saturday nights differ from what they were like five years ago - I was still living in New York City back then. It's sad, too, because Portland is a consistent stop on every good band's itinerary and there is never, ever, a lack of things to do here - generally, you actually have to block stuff out or you'll find yourself angst-ridden from inability to get to it all.
Mind you, I'm not always like this. I've definitely got some PMS at the moment - I retreat from the world a week every single month - I know myself well enough to know that when I'm like this, social activity isn't really what the doctor's ordered and not something I'm even capable of, anyway. Hot baths, movies, and creative expression are about all I can, or want to, handle.
And, here's some happy news!!!! With the sale of the two items to the left today I am getting closer and closer to my camera goal! I am only about seventy dollars shy of what I need to get a new digital camera. I'm currently offering a 15% discount to members of Ravelry and I'd like to extend that to my Vox.com readers as well. This sale will continue until I've raised enough to buy myself the camera at right (as you may or may not know, I dropped my 3-year-old digital camera in the ocean last weekend).
All you need to do is make note of your Ravelry profile URL or your Vox.com blog when you place your order in my Etsy shop and I will refund the discount different via paypal.
As for me, I'm going to resume my current Saturday night activities and find a new movie to watch. I'm about to enter the difficult part of sock-knitting territory - apparently I'm going to feel really smart after I figure out how to do it but in the meantime, I'm living in a bit of fear.
