The countdown has reached the single digits. I have five days left in the office in Vermont, and next Monday the movers come to box up the contents of the apartment. We're trying to do some preliminary packing before they get here. I mostly just don't like the idea of strangers touching my stuff. I don't really have anything of any great monetary value, but I do have some things that have some sentimental value. I'd be crushed if those things got damaged in the move process.
So, besides packing what have I been up to?
I'm trying to finish up some knitting for the family - gloves for mom and flip-top mittens and matching hat for Hannah. We're having a family "good-bye" on Sunday, so need to have the pieces done by then. I've also started my "drive to Florida" project. I'm making the Estonian Garden Shawl out of some wool/bamboo/nylon yarn from A Piece of Vermont. Seemed appropriate to take "A Piece of Vermont" with me to Florida. That is going to be my "overly air conditioned office" shawl. It's so far a really easy knit. I'm working on the middle first, and it's just an 8 row repeat that is easy to memorize.
The Dark Knight - You have to check out this movie, it is awesome? I have to admit that seeing the Aaron Eckhard Two-Face was a little shocking. Firstly, it kicks the Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face in the butt, but second - YIKES. It is much truer to the comic than the Tommy Lee version, that's all I'll say. Overall the movie is really good. I was wondering if all of the positive buzz it has received was due to the quality of the movie or the performance of Heath Ledger's last movie. If I hadn't know it was Heath behind the makeup I wouldn't have known. Although, his first appearence in the movie - any one who has ever seen anything he's been in knew just by the way he stood. My two favorite parts were the flipping tractor trailer truck and the Batman vs. The Joker interregation. Gordon should go get coffee more often.
So, knitting, movies and packing. That's pretty much it. Exciting, isn't it?
Later days!
