Afternoon Musings
Published November 15, 2006 by CabledSheep
I cast on for Icarus last night. It will probably be a slow project since I have so many other things to get to before Christmas, but at least I’ve made a start! Fortunately, the main body of the shawl should go pretty quickly. I just wish I wasn’t trying to knit dark red laceweight yarn with dark red needles. I’m forced to look geeky at SnB with my REI headlamp. But I think I’m going to start a new trend, and everyone will be wearing them soon. I’m such a fashion-setter.
I just got back from lunch at my favorite little pastry shop, Les Madeleines. Sigh. It’s both a blessing and a curse to live only a couple of blocks away from this little piece of heaven. It is virtually impossible for me to ever go there without getting the most incredible pastry I’ve ever had, their Kouing Aman. (Unless of couse, they’re sold out.) Fortunately that was not the case today. On Katherine’s advice, I also came home with a tropical parfait, something I haven’t tried there before (it’s really hard to get past the Kouing Aman. Or the chocolate croissants. Or the fruit tarts. Or… well, you get the picture). I’ll be having the parfait tonight for dessert. Oh, and I know this will make Gwen happy - they do make their iced coffee with coffee ice cubes. Of course.
After that delightful lunch, I came home and checked my mail and Google News. It’s bad enough to be inundated with all the latest crap about Britney Spears and Tom Cruise, but my God, did I have to see this? I’m speechless. On so many levels.
