I was all ready to write my TV post but got about six paragraphs in and decided I just didn’t have the gumption to do it tonight. I was, essentially, just rambling.
Not that that’s any different from another day.
Today was uneventful for a Monday. Did some actual work at work. Tweaked a few things on the site. I finally upgraded to WordPress 2.7 which I had been avoiding for awhile because I was scared some of my plugins didn’t work. Some didn’t, but they were unimportant or ones I had phased out. And now I have the sleek fancy new interface and everything works so much nice than it used to.
Plus, I added a lot of fun new things. Gravatars are enabled. There’s a little reply to arrow in the comments which allows you to reply to commenters much in the same way you do at Twitter. There’s a lot of new functionality that I added on the back end that I still need to tweak but am excited about because I feel like it’s going to give me the security I need to be able to open the blog back up freely again.
I really should have switched to WordPress earlier. I don’t know how I lived without it before.
Other than the site tweaking, which was minimal and so very easy, it was pretty much a boring day. It was really really overcast and dreary and by the time I left work, it was pouring rain, which was fine. I need a good dreary down now and again and my plants, particularly the palm frond that I will cry if it dies, need it more.
I did stop at Michael’s on the way home and picked up some size 10 needles, which is what I really needed for the basetweave project I was ranting about yesterday. I was going to pick up some nicer yarn. Mainly this Lion Brand Cotton Ease stuff because it is soft and light without being fuzzy and itchy feeling. It is the yarn that made me want to knit when I felt it in the store because it is exactly how I prefer my garments (not fuzzy, not heavy, not itchy). But it was $5.99 a skein in Michael’s and I wasn’t prepared to spend that much when I can’t even cast on and keep casted on properly.
So once I get things down pat with the current project and current yarn then maybe I will treat myself to the Cotton Ease. Michael’s always has good sales and coupons too so I can always take advantage of that.
Beyond that, just watched some new episodes of The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. Messed around with the site, ate some dinner and am now in bed, kind of not tired. I guess that’s what sleeping all weekend with do to you. My schedule is all sorts of screwed up.
But at least it’s not Monday anymore. And tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day. Since I can’t drink, have one on me!
Another Monday
