Watched a shit ton of movies this weekend: Donnie Brasco, Casino, Goodfellas, Secretariat, The Fighter, and Jurassic Park 3 (will get those back to you this week, Benson). After all that, watched the two episodes of Bones we'd missed, some 30 Rock, and a couple episodes of Tosh.0. Netflix? No. On Demand and Hulu.
With my visual stimulus in check, I then focused on other endeavors. Wrote a letter, put together an outline, bitched about the f'ing snow, and knitted.
Finally finished the recycled handbag I'd been working on. It really shouldn't have taken so long, but I've been lazing about it. Started working with real yarn again (the recycled is old grocery bags I "spun" into yarn). Now, "spinning" more plastic yarn.
Took the cat to the vet on Saturday. She was less than pleased. Made some tattoo decisions and overall enjoyed not being at work (despite the outline) for two days.
Really can't wait for the weather to warm back up. Need to put the new radiator into the Jeep and would like to knap some more. Doing some side drywall work that will fund more rock. What I need to do is get down to SoIll and get more regional rock. The mill creek is just about used up. Need to haft the hoe yet.
Looks like more snow tonight, maybe. Guess I'll be sporting the bibs tomorrow.

The Bathroom's Done
After far too long, Donnie's bathroom is done. Will have before and after pictures soon. With that out of the way, I have more time to devote to things like this. Or playing counterstrike. I gave up warcraft only to play a different game... however I'm not blowing 15 bucks a month on it.
Been watching a ton of movies lately. Weekends are great for that. Doing absolutely nothing is pretty grand. Numerous things we've seen before, but some new stuff I'd not normally picked up. Take Ninja Assassin, for instance. I was surprisingly pleased with it. Revisiting the Jurassic Park series. Have the third one left. Thought I'd watched the second one a while ago, but apparently only watched the very beginning. Also been watching a lot of Madmen. On season 3 right now.
The weather of late has been brisk and windy at best, which puts a damper on my flintknapping time, but I eeked some in. Got to work a slab of cherry quartz. Tried to work it into a reworked Ohio Hopewell point I saw in Waldorf's Story in Stone. It was found in Huron Co. The shape's close, but the color and effect of the stone really sell it.
Looking at places in the city, haven't made our minds up yet. We'll find something sooner or later.
Lemon out.
P.S. Happy Birthday, Benson.
