The Greys

But not the Project Spectrum kind...well, sort of.
Okay, here's a progress picture on the "footlets."
I am having fun whipping them out on the bus where I keep getting the same comment, "Wow, that's an awful lot of needles!"
O S A R!

Hm, have I done this yet? It's a visual joke that I got a HUGE kick out of when it was first presented to me...maybe that'll cheer me a bit:

hee hee, sometimes it's the simple things.

I think my happy is being sucked out of me by the recent turn of weather. I was SO VERY MUCH looking forward to the weekend after all the beautiful sunrises I'd seen from 40 stories up. I was so ready to have some sunshine, cold and clammy as it might be, on my skin.

The weekend "sucked prune twinkies," to borrow a phrase my X uses/d/(?) with a passion.
It was gray and dreary and foggy.

I did get to see an awesome movie (on Superbowl Sunday...empty theatre people, ahhhhh): Pan's Labyrinth, which I might post more about later, after more people have seen it. Go, now even, do not miss this one. Let me tell you this as a warning-like-thing, though, if you're feeling glum, it will NOT cheer you. To borrow another phrase, this time from Crazy Aunt Purl, I am a cautionary tail, heed my words. The movie is thought provoking, yes, but also very introspective, at least for me. Having the gloomy on the screen match the gloomy in the real world was almost too much.

Yesterday my wall of windows at work showed me the mists of Avalon. There was NOTHING outside that window. It was erie and cold and numbing. I felt like I was lost in the fog. I have been, while on a boat...you start seeing things. Your eyes desperately want to make something out of the nothing. Today? it cleared a bit and I was able to wave to the people in the next building...no one waved back, they never do. Then the rain came. More gray, more dreary.

I mentioned to one of the ladies in the office (a knitter herself) that maybe it was time to pull out the sock yarn I won a ways back (scroll a bit). She had just finished winding up a shockingly pink shade of some Fleece Artist Sock yarn...also a way to make the dark go away, just a little.

So I might be abandoning Project Spectrum a bit...I'm not sure yet. Tonight I'm cooking up some beans and messican rice, my comfort food...maybe it'll take me out of the doldrums...
