Life, the Universe, and Everything

This has been a busy week chez Pensive Frog! Too busy to post, almost. Well, here's your week in review. I finished the Ribbed Shrug from Summer 05 IK, and boy, is it hideous. I tried to take a picture of myself wearing it, but I couldn't find an attractive angle. I asked someone to take a picture of me wearing the shrug, but he can't even bring himself to look at me when I'm wearing it, so that might not work. I think the yarn I chose (Patons Decor) was way too bulky for this project. The delicate ribbed ruffles turned into flamenco-dancer-worthy floppy rings of doom. However, it is comfy to wear, and warm. Just the thing for cool spring nights. Too bad I can't wear it out of the house. Oh, you're just DYING to see pictures, aren't you? I'll find a way... Earlier this week I went to a poetry reading at the Seattle Art Museum, where the 60 winners of the Poetry on Buses competition read their winning entries. Yes, I was one of the 60, and my little poem is zooming around the Puget Sound as I write.
After the reading, we drove over the Fremont to grab a coffee at Peet's, and sit by the water to enjoy the passage of boats at dusk. Peet's is actually opening a new location in Greenlake this weekend, so there will finally be two locations to choose from!
Fremont is a great neighborhood (love that famous rocket!), and we were only hit up by strangers for bus money twice! No doubt they heard there were some wicked awesome poems to read...
