It was a beautiful day today, with a high of 72. I took a nice long walk, then did a little more exercise and bopped around the den to the XML remix of Elvis’s “A Little Less Conversation.” It was good to stretch a little more. Mark this as one week sans coffee, by the way.<\/p>\n
I’ve been looking forward to the release of Season 3 of Newsradio,<\/a> but didn’t get time to get to Borders yesterday (its release date) to pick up a copy. I got by today, and they were sold out. D’oh! Maybe I’ll try to hit Target. This is one of those that I absolutely do not want to be without!<\/p>\n However, all is not lost. I did an online swap of sock yarn for some DVDs, and they arrived today. High quality sock yarn is turning out to be a hot commodity among knitters. I don’t have time to use the yarn, but I do have time to watch TV while I knit Jayne hats<\/a>, so it’s a great trade with no actual cash changing hands. Now I finally have a copy of Lawrence of Arabia,<\/a> one of my all-time faves. It’s a great movie, and Peter O’Toole is wonderful in it. And he’s easy on the eyes, of course. Add the three Netflix that arrived today, and we’ll be in videos for a while.<\/p>\n Part of the Lawrence of Arabia shipment was a little tidbit that will go in a package for someone else. I’ve got that little evil grin going that you get when you’re planning a suprise for someone. I might actually break into a snicker.<\/p>\n A lady in West Virginia who saw the original Observer article<\/a> and ordered a hat based on that called back and asked about getting a kit for one of the scarves I was wearing<\/a> in the picture. I wrote it up and sent it along. Long term, that’s not a kit that I can make profitable, but I had enough yarn on hand to help her out for a price she could afford. I get the impression there aren’t a lot of high quality yarn shops in her part of West Virginia.<\/p>\n Jayne-wise, I’m into the new year now, working on orders from January 10th. I’m doing slightly over a hat a day now, as I try to get ahead of the line. I had another Charlottean order one. Like every Charlottean who orders, he asked if I know of any Browncoat groups in town. I don’t, though I point people to the fireflync Yahoo group<\/a>. I actually have met three Morrocroft Borders employees who were avid fans.<\/p>\n Enough people have expressed interest now that maybe I should give folks a holler and say, “hey, I’ll be knitting at X Starbucks on X night, y’all come on down and we can all meet up.” (
