and then my brain FELL OUT OF MY HEAD

bedlamsbardI am trying to do the following, and spread it out over as long a time span as possible to lessen the impact: read Machiavelli's The Prince, write my Victorianism paper on the roles and expectations of men in the Victorian Age, study for my Natural Disasters midterm, study for my Japanese midterm (this is the one thing I haven't actually done yet), read John Stuart Mill's Principles of Political Economy and On Liberty. I am about to take a break and watch something that does not require me to think at all.
I can't even put on some music and do some mindless knitting. You want to know why? I can't figure out if this story is funny or just pathetic. I had about a skein and a half of Noro Kureyon left, so I thought, hey, you know what, let's knit this pretty scarf that I found the pattern for. So I start it on size 7 circs (I hate straights) and then I run out of yarn about a foot, two feet from the end. So, well, okay, I'll go down to the Quarter and also, I just realized I've told this story before, so there goes that. Let's just get back to the part where I have nothing to knit (look, I have about a million sets of needles, but most of them are 24" circs of varying sizes. I only have one other set of 16" circs, and those are size 10 1/2s). All I want to do is knit something around and around in a circle until my hands fall off.
Oh, and you know what tops this whole mess off? I had a carton of strawberries in my fridge and now they have gone BAD so I can't even eat them, god damn it.
