Whew. \u00a0It became May. \u00a0Don’t know if you guys were aware of that.<\/p>\n

So I have not written much of late, mainly because I’ve taken work on a new show and therefore my evenings and a big chunk of my weekends are being spent in rehearsal for Galactic Girl in: Attack of the Starbarians!<\/em> It’s a fun show with fun people, and I’m really enjoying getting to do some theater again.<\/p>\n

I’ve also been fighting a real slump in my knitting mojo. \u00a0As the weather warms, it gets harder and harder to bring myself to confront piles of woolly goodness. And although I know this, am currently confronting it almost every time I pull out my yarnz, all the things I want to work on right now are sweaters. \u00a0Big, woolly, cold-weather sweaters. I’m bonkers. \u00a0So the inertia I’m fighting is twofold: I partly don’t want to knit at all<\/em>, because I’d rather be frolicking through the tulips (or, if truth be told, sleeping); and I partly don’t want to knit because I keep forcing myself to knit the things I’ve already got on the needles. I am a cranky child, after all. I want to be given my own way.<\/p>\n

But all this parentlike perseverance has paid off, at least a little. \u00a0I cast off the little lacy cowl today. You know, the one I started back in November. \u00a0AND LOST. Well, I caved in and bought a new needle and new yarn for it last month, and I just finished it off today. \u00a0It’s had its ends woven in, and now it just needs a good blocking before it’s ready to go.<\/p>\n

Not that I’ll be able to wear it, though. It’s finally turned proper spring in the city, and I celebrated by letting Mr. Boyfriend take my bike in for a tune-up. \u00a0I’ve started riding it to rehearsals, since getting from Park Slope to Bushwick in a timely fashion is nigh-impossible by public transit. I’m excited to start clocking some serious road time.<\/p>\n

Let’s see, what else?<\/p>\n
