gmonkey42The rest of High Times: Pot Luck had better be damn good.
I don't know why but I spent a lot of the weekend watching an odd combination of movies. Friday and Saturday, it was Mulan II, Tripping the Rift disk 1 and Reefer Madness (Alan Cumming!). Reefer Madness was awesome. The songs are still stuck in my head. Mulan II was "meh." Tripping the Rift kicked ass but I liked the original Six (I think her name was actually "Sex" then) better. With the glowing eyes. Do you all know what I'm talking about? In about 1998, we could share files with other computers in the dorm network and I found this animation starring Chode, the gold robot (can't remember his name), Sex and Darth Bobo. Then recently, I saw they'd made a TV series on the Sci Fi channel based on it. With the addition of the lizard nephew and the four-legged pilot. Anyway. I like it.
Then on Sunday, I returned those (I just got a new membership at Hollywood video because Blockbuster is absolute crap) and got The Ten Commandments, Cleopatra and Pot Luck. I watched the first 15 minutes or so of Pot Luck, until Jason Isaacs died and I turned it off. Then I watched The Ten Commandments. I started watching Cleopatra but I got tired and went to bed. In amongst that, I spent $50 at Michael's. I intended to get knitting needles, since I managed to misplace every pair I already own the last time I moved (I think they're at my mum's house). I actually got to the register and chatted with the customer ahead of me for a while before I realized I'd forgotten to get the needles. I got beads, yarn, candles, a candle stand and a hurricane...er...glass...thing so I can burn a candle without Snape burning herself on it. Probably other stuff too that I'm forgetting. That doesn't sound like $50-worth of stuff. Oh! I also got a circular metal tin so I can put Christmas fudge and stuff in it to take to work. Last year, I made peppermint bark for the guards. I think I'll go back next Sunday (with the Sunday coupon! I don't get a newspaper so I didn't have one yesterday) and get another tin.
I got green chennile yarn that I'm making into a scarf and some cool turquoise textured yarn that I'm going to attempt to make a little bag with, along with silver beads to decorate it. I spent most of The Ten Commandments and part of Cleopatra sorting the beads because some have a big enough hole for the yarn and some don't. Bugle beads; I didn't want to get giant beads. I have gold ones that I've been putting on the trim of a purple, burgundy and green scarf I made but I couldn't find the scarf. It's probably with my old needles.
I haven't done any knitting in a while. I was thinking of making some bags and selling them on EBay. I could make a section on my web site for them. And I thought I could do matching necklaces using the leftover, too-small-holed beads. I also got some clear, stretchy cord to make necklaces and bracelets. Beginning to see how it got up to $50... I could make scarves and belts too. With beads. Yes. I need a pattern for a bag. I made a really simple square one but I don't know how to make it all in one piece, with the handle attached instead of having to be sewn on. I'm not great at sewing. I actually looked at the knitting classes they have at Michael's but it was all like "Intro to knitting" and "How to make a scarf" and stuff. I can make scarves! That's just about the only thing I can make! You know what'd be awesome? Making fingerless gloves. Not just because Snape has them...
