I'd knit, but as it turns out I'm too busy dating

What?! You think I'm kidding? I'm not. Even after swearing off online dating. I meant to swear it off, but it wouldn't let me go. It renewed me for another three months. Apparently I didn't cancel my membership. So I changed my attitude. I said, "This shall be a social experiment. I shall do this for the rebuilding of the 'unfortunate, yet hilarious' story arsenal." Since the day of that quotation, made approximately six days ago, I have received no less than FIVE emails from guys who don't make me want to be a lesbian! I have entered the Twilight Zone. And in it, I have two dates this week... with two different guys. You never know, I might just need to start up my Dating Story again.

I did, however, finish my hat, prior to the above happenings. I like it. But it is itchy. Whose idea was it to use wool, anyway?!


Also, Saturday I met Christopher Moore, one of my favorite authors. Sadly, it was a series of most unfortunate events, involving riding Marta at the butt-crack of Saturday morning for a ticket I didn't really need after all, not understanding most of his jokes because I had not read the book he spoke about, and buying a book for signing that turned out to be a sequel to another book I hadn't read. Clearly, once again, it turns out I am not as big a fan as I thought I was. But I think I'm okay with that. I was excited to find out though that Mr. Moore's new book will be in the time of or revolving around Shakespeare. Good stuff, that will be!

"Hurry, snap the photo already! This is getting awkward... and somewhat intimate."
