MIA camera cord

After finally finding my camera, I am sad to say I do not know where the corresponding cord is. However, I do know I must not have thrown it out because I always held hope that I would find my camera and eventually need it again.

But as for now I can't find it and therefore cannot for the love of me, figure out another way to load my pictures onto my computer. My old camera was so easy because my memory card fit into this slot on my old laptop. My new camera and laptop, however, do not see eye to eye.

But at least on the good side today, I've decided to spend most of it knitting and crocheting and going over my needlework book [yes, I'm a geek], reading in general and try to enjoy the nice weather.

As of right now I'm working on a giant granny square blanket in this bright multi-coloured yarn and a sleeve on the white sweater I've been working on since....reading week? Yes, reading week. I've also discovered [and tried] patterns for some cute things, such as this hippo that I decided to make for my friend's baby shower, and these little birds I plan on giving to a friend for a wedding present; there is also a blue Totoro that is in my sights to make next. I have such a list of projects that I want to make that I shall be occupied all summer even if I never find a job.

For my reading list, I've just finished reading the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath for the second time [it really struck with me more this time which made me happy to read it again] and The Castle of Many Ways by Dianna Wynne Jones [who is fabulous]. And now my sights are set on James Joyce's Ulysses, some F. Scott Fitzgerald and quite probably Dianna Wynne Jones's Howl's Moving Castle....for the third time.

Although I love reading and knitting/crocheting, the one thing I hate is that I can't do both at the same time. It's sad.

slight insomnia

I finally watched The Graduate. I really loved the soundtrack and the movie in general. Although I couldn't tell how I felt about the ending; they both looked torn between happiness and a giant bout of "oh shit, what did we do and what do we do now?"

Anyways.
