I just caught a glimpse of a grammar lesson that looked suspiciously like 'subjunctive.' Fuck you, subjunctive. Fuck you in the eye. On the plus side, now I know how to say 'security clearance' in German.

I love my Hiya Interchangeable needles. The only problem is that every time I have to check a shipment in I want MOAR. I do not need moar. I need to knit with the ones I have because there is no way I'm going to have ten or twelve projects going at once. I have more self control, apparently, on that score. On the problem of oh my god I want all the shiny needles and cases and yarn ever? Less so. But oh god I love my Hiyas and they are shiny and fast and interchangeable and solid and mmmm.

It's almost three o'clock and it's actually still sunny! We might get some weeding in after all! And bushwacking and other things, pruning. First I want to get another good chunk of that crap out of the koi pond, and then there can be more weeding the front walk. And there's a compost bin for everything to go into! Yes I am indeed this excited about composting shut up. Composting is USEFUL. And GOOD. And means MOAR FOOD FROM THE GROUND. And it's compost. How is that not awesome?

I swear, even when I don't have blog work during the week, I make blog work for myself. So now I have a schedule of translate the tattoos I keep meaning to translate tonight and tomorrow, tomorrow and Thursday work up an essay, and then Friday post it to Murderboarding. At least this time it's a relatively easy essay to work up, and I've got a couple evenings to do it rather than mainlining it all at once. And an outline! And. No, I think that's all to list among my assets. But it shouldn't be that hard. I hope. Assuming I do have Thursday and Wednesday evening to work things up. Or possibly Wed and Thursday evening entire, depending on how much weeding we get done today. And how busy work is. And.

I should probably stop fucking around for something else to babble about and hit post, shouldn't I. Yes.
