Another day off from school and another day of not a lot going on. I played a little BF4, watched stuff, read stuff, and made a couple pipe cleaner flowers. Last year I made a bunch of crocheted hearts and put them in the teacher's lounge at school for Valentine's Day. This year I thought I'd make pipe cleaner flowers. I'm fairly certain we don't have school on Valentine's Day, or the day before, so we'll see how many I can make by Wednesday.

At work tonight I worked on my crocheted blanket and read more Cheese Monkeys. I finished up the last couple of rows for one skein of yarn and started on one of the dark blue skeins I bought yesterday. It is slightly different than the old dark blue I was using but I don't think it will be too noticeable when all is said and done. I also left it at the theater because I open tomorrow and it is getting big enough that it is annoying to pack it away. I'm really not sure what I'm going to do when it gets closer to being complete. I'd say only work on it at home but most of the work has been done at the theater, mostly because I can lay it all out on the desk. Working on it at home is kind of a pain because I don't have the same kind of room.

And I will end with some of my favorite quotes from Cheese Monkeys tonight:

“Never fall in love with an idea. They're whores: if the one you're with isn't doing the job, there's always, always, always another.” (p. 144)

“Instead I sat in the Belly that night and toured the brothel of my head for the right approach to show me some leg...” (p. 146)

“But beware: You can be crippled by too many choices, especially if you don't know what your goals are.” (p. 159)
