Modern Nomad Seeks Friends

The kids I work for always think it's hilarious when I get the hiccups.  Which for some reason I usually end up getting quite often.  Now I do have a remedy that works rather well for me, so it's not a problem of getting rid of them, but I still get them.  As I have them right now.  The good thing is that the kids aren't up to sing the hiccup song.  As funny as it always is to hear, it can get semi-tiredsome.

On to other things.  Right now I'm watching Pride and Prejudice, the new one with Keira Knightley.  I got it just the other day with Walk the Line.  I already have seen Walk the Line.  Love it, well basically love Joaquin Phoenix.  It also is a very good story as well, and I enjoy quite a bit of the cinematic stuff that goes with it.  So as well as watching this movie, I'm surrounded by my knitting stuff, and my travel stuff.  Since I'm the one "in charge" of setting the "schedule" for THE TRIP.  On the celebrity note, I've finally made my first two sightings.  The first was in the city, around CBGB's, and it was of Scott Speedman.  The guy from Felecity, and Underworld.  Scuffy, and looking skinny.  I wanted to grab him, and tell him to eat something.  Not really to exciting.  Didn't get an autograph or picture or anything.  Now the second, I was doing some late night grocery shopping, and as sI was walking down the cereal aisle, who did I see Rob Thomas, the Matchbox 20 guy.  I was on the phone with my sister, the one in Taiwan, who likes his music, and everything.  So I get a few aisles away from him, and tell her who I just saw, and of course she calls me a liar.  But it was him, I'm sure.  And I know that he has a house up here in Westchester, so despite what she says, and the fact that I didn't get an autograph or picture (I'm weird, and think that people should be allowed to do their grocery shopping in peace) it was him.

Now, on to the Yarn Porn.  I worked all last weeked, and everyone well knows.  And of course I'm working tonight.  And I'm working tomorrow as well.  And because of the huge snow storm we've just got, I won't be going out of the house for like 3 days.  Not exactly fun.  And of course none of the time will be spent knitting on my socks.  I swear they're never going to get done.  I'm hoping to head into the city on Sunday, the only day I'll have off this weekend, and knit.  I don't think it's both going to get done, but I have to chose which one is more important to me.  And since the LYS around me has closed, and it's basically easier for me to go into the city for knitting notions.  And I need some new double pointed needles.

Just wish me well that I'll get atleast some decent sleep this weekend.
