READING: Still working on Cloud's End by Sean Stewart. A knitting group friend gave me a copy of Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections last week, and I'm planning to start that once I'm done with the Stewart.

WATCHING: Still with the Doctor Who. (Did you know that Torchwood is an anagram of Doctor Who? I'm sure you did. I didn't, though; not until

glaucon told me.) I have also watched a couple of episodes of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which is pretty good. It's also somewhat baffling, though, because all Hulu has are season 2 episodes, and I haven't seen season 1 (much less the pilot ep). Last night we watched "The Wish" and "Amends" (Buffy, season 3). I haven't seen either episode since

glaucon and I whizzed through the entire series last year. Both are really good--and crucial to the series, since they introduce characters and concepts that become linchpins. (I like that metaphor. A linchpin is what keeps wheels from falling off an axle. Some might argue that the Bringers and the First actually have the opposite effect, when they return in season 7, but I disagree. And then, of course, there is Anya. Definitely a linchpin.)

PLANNING: I'm going to see Let the Right One In (Swedish vampire movie) tonight, with a couple of friends. These are friends I don't get to hang out with all that often, and not in this configuration, so I'm really looking forward to it. Tomorrow,

leporidae will be here for a visit from Olympia. She's staying with us for a couple of nights, before she leaves on a jet plane on Monday, going to parts southerly to visit family for the holidays. I'm really looking forward to seeing her and hanging out with her, too. So it's going to be a fun weekend!

KNITTING: I'm almost done with my mom's cardigan. I attached the sleeves and started knitting the yoke yesterday. I got about 3-4" into the yoke--another 4" or so to go, but the knitting gets faster and faster since I'm decreasing by 8 stitches every right-side row. I'm also still working on my Noro Striped Scarf and my Branching Out, both of which should be finished pretty soon (but they're on hold for now while I work on the cardigan--I want to finish that today or tomorrow so I can send it off to Michigan on Monday).

That's it for me right now. Have a great weekend, everyone.
