Fun. Met someone from high school. Also saw <lj user=\"tapeheads\">.<br \/>\n&#8211; got grades back from Ryerson. A-. Not bad, considering exam shenanigans.<br \/>\n&#8211; started a Librivox.org account, and bought a headset microphone. Have recorded chapter 36 of Bronte&#8217;s Villette, if anyone wants to hear me reading to them. Am working on a solo project recording of Peter Pan and Wendy, one of my favorite children&#8217;s books. Contemplating Moby Dick<br \/>\n&#8211; finished reading &#8216;Company of Cheerful Ladies&#8217;. Loved it. Want to read &#8216;Blue Shoes and Happiness&#8217; ASAP. Am still only 130 pages into Bill Bryson&#8217;s &#8216;Sunburned Country&#8217;, am 60 pages into &#8216;Time Traveler&#8217;s Wife&#8217; and am reading all sorts of knitting books.<br \/>\n&#8211; butternut squash harvest was prodigious. Over 20 squash so far and counting. Tomatoes have gone wild and taken over back yard. Eek.<br \/>\n&#8211; completed Doctor Who scarf, waaaay ahead of schedule!!!! looks good, but is too short. No way it will reach 12 feet. Is 10 feet, maybe.<br \/>\n&#8211; completed Aaron&#8217;s gloves, and delivered. Now working on pair in same pattern, but pink, for new friend Julia, whose birthday it is.<br \/>\n&#8211; catsitting for <lj user=\"themusesbitch\"> and LOVING IT. Cleio is absurdly affectionate. We napped together today for an hour and she licked my face a lot. I think I want to marry her.<br \/>\n&#8211; work sucks. Not sure how to make it better. Working on that.<br \/>\n&#8211; am sick. Sneezing. Stuffy nose. Runny sometimes. Throat hurts. Sucks.<br \/>\n&#8211; JVL still loving the crap out of his camera. Bought himself flash. Learning Photoshop.
