etc.

Pardon me, but yesterday I forgot to commemorate the birthday of one of my favourite playwrights – Berthold Brecht. If you have not yet read Galileo and Mother Courage and Her Children, I commend them to you.

And today, feast day of Helwisa, 9th Century recluse after whom I would, some day, like to name a cat or a plant.

And, if you are planning to attend graduate school, and you are looking for something to read, this Friday, look no further: the Canadian Association of Graduate Students has put out a new handbook [pdf] to assist you.

Last night, I began work on Weekend Jacket #234 (scroll down), a comely little top-down pattern from Knitting Pure and Simple, in a super-bulky weight yarn, and boy howdy, believe me when I tell you that this little feller will be ready for my trip to the ROM tomorrow with the mister. Super-bulky yarn, I sing songs to you.

The ROM and a new cardi, all in one day, hip hip!
