- had cereal yet again.. but barely touched my coffee (weird flavored stuff)
- forgot to bring lunch
- don't like going outside in the snow/rain
- ate only a banana for lunch
I was just looking at my site meter and it's odd how traffic here spiked when I put in the Mutter Museum of Medical Oddities. Really. Maybe I should knit conjoined twins or bloated intestines or something and really get popular.
I think not.
It's hard to wear those kind of things.
Party Animal 
I stayed home for New Year's. This is a result of my generally lackluster feelings about holidays. What is being celebrated? A party? A digit? I just don't get it. I knitted, read, and watched a couple videos.
The Year 2005 in Brief
(Keep in mind as you read this that at my review at work the word "cheerful" was used in describing my demeanor. I call that funny!)
January: Moved to Dorchester from Philadelphia - kind of like being bumped up a level of Hell for good behavior. Broke, no heat, exploitive rent, awkward if impossible transportation, dysfunctional roommates of legendary proportions and a stressed out boyfriend.
February: All of the above, plus a job and school. Five hours sleep a night, window falls out during a snowstorm. Boyfriend starts violin-making school and gets a barista job.
March: All of the above, plus boyfriend's relentless unhappiness with his job, living situation, weather. Not feeling too hot about it, either. He finally gets a job at school.
April: Not so cold.
May: Planning mutiny. Semester over.
June: Abandon ship. Beg money from relatives and move to the North End. Avoid school.
July: Get to listen to boyfriend constantly complain about parades.
August: Is it hot, or is it just me?
September: Avoid school. Think I should have stayed in California.
October: Maybe Boston isn't so bad, but school is. So is work. Start a knitting blog.
November: Join Stitch 'n Bitch in an effort to not become completely introverted. Start to have a little fun. Skip out on Thanksgiving with "relatives". Considering transferring to art school.
December: Convinced I either need to 1) quit my job, 2) quit school, or 3) all of the above. Former instructor talks me down. Looking for new job.
Yesterday, I:
- had tater tots and tofu dogs for breakfast
- realized I'm 10 lbs overweight and half my clothes don't fit me
- burnt a hole in the tablecloth with my clothes iron
- started the second sock to go with the one I made too big (Symmetry in all things!)
- went to the Green Dragon with Joe, where I got to do the complaining for a change
- had fish and chips and an Irish coffee for dinner
- ate half a pomegranite for dessert
- started another Ellery Queen mystery
- fantasized about a thrifting entry
- watched Reign of Fire again. What can I say?
Next time:
Thrifting 101

Hmmmm . . .I didn't take a picture of me on New Year's Eve, but if I did, it would have been a lot like yours (cat included!). I knitted, watched movies, kissed my husband, went to bed.
Love your blog, btw. I may have to go to the North End SnB sometime just to meet up with you!
