Summer in the City

I've been knitting furiously in an attempt to reach the armpits of a summer-weight sweater before starting my impossible schedule. I made it. Although it seems unlikely that I will finish the sweater before October, I will knit on.
I continue to enjoy the sights to and from the bus stop, around campus and in my yard.




Pato and I saw the movie, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I thought they did a good job with it. Pato liked it even though he hasn't read the books.

I recently saw Reds as well. I don't think I'd seen it since it came out; I found it at the library and checked it out since I remember liking it. It was great. You should watch it if you haven't, and revisit it if you haven't seen it lately.

My decadent TV of late has been watching The Tudors. What a nasty lot they were. Very entertaining. Great costumes.

And speaking of TV, I can't see a rider mower, and I get upset when I see someone mowing the lawn in flip flops, ever since watching the Mad Men scene with the rider mower at the party. I think that show scarred me for life.
