However, it is below freezing in this loverly Midwest part of the country. There was ice on the roads in the middle of the day. I almost missed band practice because of the whole going to church part of the day got skipped, but all turned out fine. The girls that I went to Twilight with (daughters of our keyboard player/singer and drummer) got me the movie poster with the star of Twilight on it as a Christmas gift. Crazy, huh? I've never gotten a movie poster before. Everyone here is getting into the Christmas thing. It's kind of fun, all things considered. I really need to go and buy my gifts.
In other news, I finished the seaming of the afghan rather quickly (while watching 4 episodes of Sanctuary). So quickly, in fact, that I'm knitting the border, starting...well...7pm today. TV makes it all go so much faster. This is my first knitted border on the largest object I have made. It's surprisingly easy and slightly boring. I should manage to get it completely done in two more days. After almost two months of dedicated effort, I may not knit for a day or two. That, or I'm so used to doing something every day I'll start a new project.
The TV watching is not coincidental to the fact that I'm home for the holidays. The apartment has been abandoned for the next three weeks. I'm happy to have a rest.
Have I ever said how interesting Rock Band is? It's an X-Box game, for those who don't know. It's basically playing fake instruments on popular rock songs of the past two or three (or four) decades. My brothers have gotten very good, scary good, on the drums. I'm an occasional player who doesn't go past the medium difficulty setting.
I should go and finish that border now.
