Pictureless post, incl. Mr. Phoenix’s okay rendition of ‘Folsom Prison Blues’
No pictures today because the camera is located a whopping three feet away from me, on the desk, and I’m too darn lazy to pick it up and supply the world with more pictorial knitting spam.
Anyway… I’m not usually the kind of person who has the patience to sit through entire movies and actually watch them. I’m more of a TV show girl — 45 minutes matches my attention span perfectly. But tonight, I was pleasantly surprised by Walk the Line, which my better half rented. I actually did nothing of the following during 2 hours and 13 minutes:
- knit obsessively;
- sneak out of the room and telephone a friend or family member;
- surf the Net with laptop in my lap (I actually shut it down!);
- read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (or any other book for that matter);
- scatter old knitting pattern books around the room and look for something to knit after I’ve finished 2781 WIPs;
- play extremely addictive Tetris-type online games while pretending to watch the movie; or
- fall asleep.
Notice, especially, the first and last items on this list. I’ve been a good girl tonight.
Oh, and the movie was really good; I liked it. Joaquin Phoenix’s (in the role of Johnny Cash) singing wasn’t too awful — nothing like the real thing, of course, and often quite out of tune — but tolerable.
