I'm leaving for North Carolina Saturday. It's fascinating how the time has passed these last few months. Desultorily and much too fast at the same time. I've been enjoying myself, mostly. I can't wait to see how camp affects my state of mind. A friend of mine (the bassist in my band) keeps insisting on calling it "band camp", but I refuse to do so, and am not amused by the comparison...much.
A good bit has happened this week. The kerchief of doom is almost finished, and I'm this close to posting pictures of it, as well as a few more recent items I've made (assuming, of course, that I can find my darn camera cable for the computer). Basically, the body is done, with some edging left to do, and a good washing that promises to shrink the thing by 20% lengthwise. I can't wait.
I sent off a box of various "dead weight, but still necessary" stuff to North Carolina yesterday. I also finished off the last of my recorded television from last semester. I feel both accomplished and lacking in the same, apparently stuff doesn't count unless I practice violin as well.
There was also shopping, which reminds me of last year when I basically bought all the clothes I wore in Vienna the week or two before I went there. This time it's mostly shirts and shoes. Really cute stuff, I even bought knit (knit!) cotton (cotton!) short-sleeved jacket. Do you know how hard it is to find commercial knits in anything other than acrylic? Trust me, it's not easy. The lovely thing works wonders on my boring and unflattering shirt collection (I knew there was a reason I kept it around).
I'm jonesing for a bit of adventure before I go away, so I'm going to go to a new restaurant before I leave. I have my eye on Jimmy's Egg. It may sound boring, but newness keeps the soul alive.
And so off I go...! See the title (also, is it really "yonder"? Or is my hick side taking over subconsciously?)
Later,
Greeny
