My Middle Name is Patience

Television and Two Circs

From Knitting In the Shadows: 

you are seagreen #2E8B57

Your dominant hues are cyan and green. Although you definately strive to be logical you care about people and know there's a time and place for thinking emotionally. Your head rules most things but your heart rules others, and getting them to meet in the middle takes a lot of your energy some days. Your saturation level is higher than average - You know what you want, but sometimes know not to tell everyone. You value accomplishments and know you can get the job done, so don't be afraid to run out and make things happen. Your outlook on life can be bright or dark, depending on the situation. You are flexible and see things objectively.

From Knitting In The North:

 

See? Calming. Not Evil.

 

 

TELEVISION: At last, a weeks worth of TV worth noting (not that you'll be able to take any of my Sunday advice in the East, thanks to TypePad's continued "improvements". )

 

Sunday: 9pm:New Episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent (although I hear Chris Noth is leaving and Jeff Goldblum is going to attempt to take his place. Fat chance.

10pm: A toss up betweenIn Plain Sight and The Next Food Network Star, of which I'm getting seriously addicted to. I wanted all five of them to win, but alas, Shane is OUT and only one of the remaining four can be [da dum] The. Next. Food. Network. Star.

 

Monday: The Closer is back! 9pm TNT. There's Ancient Ink on the History Channel at 9pm that looks pretty good too.

 

Tuesday: Mega Disasters on the History Channel at 10pm

 

Wednesday: Project Runway! Bravo at 9pm. I have heard virtually nothing about this show this season. 

 

Thursday: Burn Notice.10pm USA  Bruce Campbell. Sharon Gless. Jeffrey Donovan. Gabrielle Anwar. Awesome.

 

Friday: Dr Who and Stargate Atlantis on the Sci Fi channel at 9pm and 10pm but also Monk and Psych on USA at the same time. Of course.

 

KNITTING: I learned how to knit a sock on two circs! It was pretty easy. Alas there are no pictures because 1. I took it with the  iPhone and I'm afraid to connect it to the computer and 2) there was  a bit of a learning curve and while I might have lived with the slightly too big scalloped edge, the two dropped stitches defeated me.

 

 

Now this is evil. Walking away from me. Plodding away, actually.

Courthouse Skies. Smoky. California is on fire. It's a little scary when you can't go outside because of particulates. I've never even heard the term in connection to air. Air that I breathe. I have never been so happy to see blue skies in my life. The smoky pic was last week, the other was this morning.

Sock I was knitting on during Jury Duty:

Sock (12 st Ribbed Lace from Sensational Knitted Socks) started after deciding above sock looked pathetic and frogged it. I am however, deeply in love with the Eye of Partridge heel flap.

Sock as of this morning, modeling gracefully against the basil and ......some other herb.

It's only now I realize how much that resembles the Horcrux Socks (you'll have to scroll down). Oh well. The other sock patterns in my queue need a solid color or the cables/lace/patterns won't show well.  

I'd post a pic of Hez but either no batteries work in my house or I really did break my camera dropping it off the bookshelf. I wouldn't mind terribly breaking the camera, I hates it. Any suggestions for a moderately priced camera that takes decent pictures of socks and cats?
