Escape From LA
It's very useful, if you're working on one of those Colinette projects that use 7 different yarns, to have something like "Escape From LA" on the TV when you get to the part of the project wherein you need to weave in the innumerable ends of yarn.
Oh, lucky me.
It was Sam, actually, who wanted to watch "Escape From LA." In the distant past, both of us had seen "Escape From New York," separately, as we didn't know each other, and both of us remembered it as not entirely dreadful and fairly amusing. Neither of us was entirely in our right mind in 1981, I believe.
At the end of "Escape From LA," Sam said, "I can't believe I just spent my entire evening watching that." But I? Oh, I had a Colinette "Love It" jacket with the ends all sewn in. Knitting. You're never REALLY wasting your time.
My favorite part about "Escape From LA" is the way Kurt Russell keeps his face from changing Ever, At All. Except for when he gets shot in the leg -- he makes his chin get tense. Excellent acting. He then keeps that up for the rest of the movie. True dedication to his craft.
What else have we missed, while we were reading Trollope and Chaucer? Cause I've got another "Love It" kit I need to knit up at some point. Is there an "Escape From Chicago"? "Escape From Dallas"? I'd find them useful.
All I need to do with the jacket now is sew up the seams and knit the front border. But last night I came home from the first day of classes, and hence needed to Recover, since I had tired myself out performing all day, so I started a new project.
No, the logic of this isn't obvious to me, either. I'm just reporting.
So I've now begun Jade Starmore's "Cecily of York," in some long-discontinued Scottish Heather in "Lacquer," which is a fancy name for "Red." Where did I get this yarn? Off eBay. I don't want to talk about it.
But it's nice yarn. I love the way Scottish Heather knits up all rough and then blooms out soft when you block it. It's like magic.
And finally -- for those of you who are following the progress of The Child -- he's acquired a new installment of his mail order lessons from Spy University. Now he has a black fake mustache, to use as a disguise. I think the way it sheds is especially useful, as it distracts your eye from the rest of his face, thereby giving him some time in which to make you think he's somebody else.
Also the fake teeth are useful, since you can't understand, when he wears them, a thing he says, thereby adding to the depth of the Disguise.
How many more installments of this spy crap are on the way? I asked Sam. They'll be arriving until they run out of ways to get $15 a month out of us, he said.
Ah. Hell and sno-cones.
