Frustration is the wet nurse of violence.*

Today I got a new wheel for my bike, knitting thingies for a new project (stuffed elephant, as a gift), spent aaaages trying to knit (undoing, redoing, rinse-and-repeat) and wrote some postcards, although gods know hwhere the post office is And...yeah. Today's been pretty meh.

Yesterday we had a house-meeting, so we call had dinner together and discussed how to be clean and considerate. It was nice. I then watched Dog Soldiers (thanks to fallen_iceangel, as yes, it is awesome) and Supernatural (hi-larious in the extreme). I also practiced some chords on Betsy, at which I sucked.

Alright, enough filler postage, have some links as I wander off to watch Underworld 3

Quotes of the Day: Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

You would look at the man one day and you would think, I loved you, and the tense would be past, and you would be filled with a sense of wonder, because it was such an amazing and precarious and dumb thing to have done; and you would know too why your friends had been evasive about it, at the time.

Elayne Boosler (stand-up comedian)

Men and women perceive crime TOTALLY differently. Once when I was walking in New York with a boyfriend, he said, 'Gee, it's a beautiful night. Let's go down by the river.' 'What? Are you nuts? It's midnight; I'm wearing jewelry; I'm carrying money; I have a vagina with me... Tomorrow, I'll leave it in my other pants. Then we'll go down.'
