I went and redeemed the Amazon.com gift certificate that my cousin sent me. He's a pretty cool person. I was a bit indecisive, so it took a while. I finally settled on Devil in the White City, a novel about a serial killer in Chicago during the Columbian Exposition. During the fair, there was a whole cluster of buildings along the lake shore, in the museum campus area. The Field Museum is the only surviving structure. I also ordered the new-ish album from Badly Drawn Boy. I'm a bit of a cd junkie at the moment.

I have no plans for today, which is a bit odd after a solid week of work and social engagements. I think that I'll knit and watch tv, maybe burn a couple of cds or minidiscs. I'm making a rolled brim hat for Lewis out of a spare skein of Noro Kureyon. I've knit about four inches so far. I also had the itch to make another hat out of the Schaefer Miss Priss left over from the hat that I gave to Matt on tour. Luckily, I have only one set of #8 dps, so I can't double up! That is a sure-fire method to ensure you don't finish any of your projects.
