Ugh. I was completely done with #1 (ends woven in and everything) and up to the toe on #2 when I decided they were just too damn snug.  Started over&#8230;  Now about to start the heel on &#8220;#3&#8221; although obviously #s 1 and 2 do not exist anymore&#8230;  And the only quilting I&#8217;ve done is vicariously through Jackie as I gave her direction at the sweatshop this weekend&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><u>Reading:<\/u> <strong>&#8220;The Guermantes Way&#8221; by Marcel Proust<\/strong>, a.k.a. book 3 of <em>\u00c0 La Recherche du Temps Perdu<\/em>.  I read book one in 2005 and book two in 2006&#8230;so at this rate, I&#8217;ll finish the series in 2010.  Pathetic!   The problem being, as with everything in my life, there&#8217;s just tooooo many things (or &#8220;other books&#8221;) I am interested in so I have to spread the GR love around&#8230; Anyway, as to Proust, Marcel is soooo neurotic and really isn&#8217;t that why these books became such classics?  Because he&#8217;s the worst things about yourself that you would never tell anyone about?  Unless you&#8217;re completely narcissistic and have an entire web site devoted to detailing your idiosyncracies&#8230;.  Oh, hmmm, wait a second&#8230;.  (Hahahahaha)<\/p>\n<p><u>Watching:<\/u> <strong>Friday Night Lights<\/strong>.  And obsessively so.  Watching it when it&#8217;s on (on Wednesdays), at random times throughout the week on the DVR in the living room, on the TiVO in the bedroom, on NBC.com, on my iPod&#8230;. Whenever, wherever.  (Again, pathetic.)   Also rewatching <strong>Tristan &#038; Isolde<\/strong>, which is NOT a good movie, but James Franco is all sullen and miserable and HOT in it so there you go.  Btw, my dad says &#8220;<strong>Blood Diamond<\/strong>&#8221; is really good so I may have to suck it up and go see it, even though it wasn&#8217;t really on my list&#8230;  As of now, that&#8217;s my movie plan for the week.  At the sweatshop this weekend, Jackie and I rewatched some old Party of Five&#8230;only to see <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/name\/nm0740535\/\">Milton! from OfficeSpace! playing Bailey&#8217;s football coach<\/a>.  How nuts is that!!!  (Also (re)watched Almost Famous, Singles, Garden State, last week&#8217;s OC, this week&#8217;s Brothers &#038; Sisters, and a few episodes of Sex&#038;theCity.)<\/p>\n<p><u>Listening:<\/u> The new <strong>Fallout Boy &#8220;Infinity on High&#8221; <\/strong>, which I really like.  Also two albums by <strong>The Essex Green (&#8220;Cannibal Sea&#8221; and &#8220;The Long Goodbye&#8221;) <\/strong>that I picked up at the concert.
