Bit of Ivory

*feels guilty*

Umm. Hi?

I am alive, really. Just very, very busy. I’m gearing up my thesis big-time, and working on my semester paper for my romanticism class, and trying to decide if the Prozac is doing any good or not. And I’m waay into finding cute patterns for baby stuff to knit, because we now know that my sister-in-law is having a GIRL!! So I bought this pattern and this yarn in purple (number 6287), and I hope to start it soon. I must finish my bag first, which is THIS CLOSE to being ready to felt.

My family watched Howl’s Moving Castle the other day, which I really enjoyed, and which prompted me to read the book. They’re very different, and yet also the same. I like them both very much. As a rule, I’m not much into anime, but I’d say Miyasaki stuff is an exception, mainly because it’s not as anime as, well, most anime. I liked the people they got to do the dubbing (like Christian Bale and Billy Crystal), although I do like it with the subtitles as well.

Hmm, anything else to say? Sorry for not acknowledging your package, Lou– it came on the day of the wedding, and so I kind of forgot to mention it. Thanks for the book and the pumpkin butter (I haven’t had the guts to try it yet :P) and the Orlando Bloom driver’s license thingy. The book makes me want to come visit!

Erm. Anything else you guys want to know?
