Cult(ure) of Personality

Spring break makes me happy. I love the first couple days of basking on the couch like a lizard on a rock, sunning myself with the glow of the computer and/or the television. There's usually lots of sleep, but seldom in my bed. I feel duty bound to stay up wayyyy past my bedtime and conk out on the couch, only to be woken up by slobbery dog smooching in the morning, and then the feeling of pressure that comes from an eighty-five pound Old English Sheepdog alighting upon my person like Blitzen on a rooftop. I doubt if I will learn my lesson before she cracks one of my ribs.

I'll be painting the crown molding in the living room, going to the dentist in Milwaukee twice (nothing major just yet, it's still mostly preliminary stuff), and hopefully watching lots and lots of anime. I've been watching Ranma 1/2 as often as possible for the last month or so, and it will be nice to actually finish off the series. I'm also looking forward to crocheting again. I had to cut it out of my life for a little while, because there was just so much going on between school and home improvements that there just didn't seem to be enough time to focus on making blankets. That's not such a good thing for me, because I find crocheting to be a hard core stress reliever. if you can use the phrase "hard core" to describe the process of making scarves, blankets and doilies with a crooked stick. However, my schedule has a week's worth of flex and I'm itching to start. I'm trying to calm down on my yarn collection, so I won't be buying any new yarn until I finish the stuff that I have, and I won't be keeping all the blankets that I make.

The blankets might not look attractive, but I'm sure that the Humane Society in Wisconsin Rapids will be happy to take them off my hands. Wisconsin Rapids has a no kill shelter, so when I have anything that I think they might want or need, they get all the goodies. I may not have the lifestyle to have a pet, but it's nice to be able to help in some small way.

Anyhoo, I have been playing with this stuff enough, and it's time to watch Witchblade...except by watch I mean "doze on the couch with Witchblade playing on the dvr".
