Harlot

“Two hundred dollars straight in,
Two-fifty up the ass.”

Okay. So you tell me. Is it wrong that I’ve been walking around saying this to my husband all day and all night long? What’s up Bruce? Is your imagination lost on you? I’m all for a some porn now and again, but this song is even beyond your sexy sensibilities. I’m not saying I don’t like it (because, hey, you’ve been the star of MANY a fantasy of mine) but it’s just really, really sad. What did Patti say about it? Inquiring minds want to know.

And for the record, Georgie grins wickedly every time I say it.

Harlot tonight. Cassie will have her red knitting bag, I’ll be carrying this:

In the comments yesterday, Kristen asked if I’d be bringing my camera to the festivities. I haven’t decided yet. You see, bringing my camera means carrying an extra 15-20 pounds of equipment. I can’t just throw the camera in my knitting bag. My camera is huge. And I’d have to bring my flash gear because, well, the lighting is guaranteed to suck and I have a serious problem with perfectionism so if the picture isn’t going to come out to my standards (that’s right Wendy – I’m a NO SNAPSHOT zone!) then why bother taking it. I’m thinking everyone else will have a camera and there will be lots and lots of pictures floating around blogworld. Now, if the Harlot wants her own personal photo shoot – well, now, that’s a different story!

And I might be a tad dirty tonight. The signs throughout the building said they were going to turn off the water at 9:30 AM. Poor Georgie got caught mid-shower shave when they shut it down at 8:59. I thought I had a whole half hour, the bastards, but I didn’t. I can’t even brush my teeth. Well, I could use water from the water cooler I have in my kitchen, but that’s not dramatic enough now is it? My wonderful, fantastic, supercalifragilistic husband offered to get us a hotel room in the city (he’s going out tonight too) so that I could go in early to shower and we could meet up later. Isn’t he the sweetest? But then they made an announcement that the water would be back up four hours from now, which should give me plenty of time to get ready. Drat. We may still do the hotel thing though. I may have to lie. (Either that or drop my prices! 😉 )

I was up late again last night. Short Rows. Yep. Before I finally got it right, I ripped out the first part of the second short row sequence three times. Three freaking times. I kept dropping wraps when I was going back across. So all three times I actually finished the short rows only to lose them in the end. Yet I STILL love this project. I’m past it now and will finish the back as soon as I get off the computer. Then I will cast on for the sleeve so I have something to knit tonight. Can you imagine if I walked in without knitting – they’d probably throw me out at the door. Oh and I SOLVED THE ENDS PROBLEM! No. I’m not going to tie knots and be done with it! I found this wonderful Knitty article and the duplicate stitch works great. I’m loving it. I will take pictures when the back is done – have no fear. The ends are still a daunting task, but I feel it’s manageable. Yay!

Have a great day everyone!
