Bad Blogger

Once again I have lapsed. Sorry! Life's been busy but again boring. There really hasn't been much to share.

I saw the new Harry Potter movie on Wednesday (sadly not at midnight. Jamey was like SOME of us need to get up for work ya know!) and don't worry no spoilers--although if I have comments feel free to spoil all you want. It was awesome, I think my favourite of all the movies. The actors are older and know their craft. There were times in the earlier films where the kids acted so horribly I wince. I also like how they presented the story on film. The cinematography and editing was great. I do miss the stuff they had to edit out for film compression, as well as the stuff they changed...not to mention the stuff they added that puts a wrench into the later book. I am wondering how much more they have to change now.

My creativity right now feels a little forced. I still want to re-design the blog template--I have a vague idea of what I want, but not sure how to implement it with the software I have. Back when I had my old computer I had MS Photodraw (or something like that) and I LOVE it for editing text with pictures. All my newer fancier photo editors aren't as easy and right now I am not in the mood to fight. I am working on several knitting designs as well...and again it is WORK. I am pulling and pleading at the inspiration to come out of my brain.

I blame the heat. It's been so hot this summer: the temps have been over 100. I do not do well in the heat. It flattens me. And of course our car has no AC. I am sweating like I never before...my Dad would be proud.

I've been trying to aim for my organisation in my life. Hoping it'll help the creativity flow AND help me get the banal things done, as well. We shall see.

I've been spending a lot of time on Plurk. I joined ages ago, but Jamey has gotten hooked and dragged me along as well. Don't mind much, I have found awesome friends there. If ya want to join the fun (many of us are crafters of some sort and quite irreverent), I am of course, BirdysKnits.

I've got some kid pics and stories to share, but I think I'll save that for tomorrow.
