Quilts quilts quilts

When I was reading back through old entries a couple of days ago, I found my old quilt journal that I had mostly forgotten existed. It's mostly a mass of unfollowable links, but some of the links still work. Maybe I'll start posting some stuff, just for fun. Except for the couple of quilts on my couch and the bed, I don't usually even remember to look at all the quilts I've got stored away. My mother would not approve.

I've been over to LJ to gank some of my old icons from there, since I have more space, at least temporarily. (This one seems particularly appropriate.)

I don't know if it's the weather or what, but I'm feeling really crabby and I don't think trying to write a whole new entry is a good idea at the moment. So what's here will have to do and hopefully I'll be in better shape later. (The first part of this was written yesterday, you see!)

(I'm supposed to go shopping with my sister later today, but I'm wondering if that might be a bad idea if I'm still out of sorts. Hmm.)

Wicked-the-book & UT football

I've been watching (in sections) a two-hour video (I added a link in case you want to torture yourself with this!) of a young British woman going through the plot of the book of Wicked in - clearly - significant detail, but then it's also a big fat book, which I'm well aware of because I've been reading the paperback edition. It's making me feel better that somebody else thinks this book is deeply weird. It is deeply weird; I don't know what state of mind I was in back when I first read it, that I didn't come away thinking that. Or maybe it's just that I read a lot of weird stuff!

I'm still not feeling too great. I stayed up all night (not unusual for me) and slept all day (which is). I missed the whole first half of the UT-Georgia game, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem to have been that eventful. UT doesn't seem to be able to handle Georgia too well; I thought that the first time they played this year. They're the only team we've played that's been that way. This is an excellent team but not quite a national-champion one, apparently. I'm going to be interested to see how this whole (expanded) college playoff thing goes. -- OK, now our guys are suddenly playing better. And... there will be overtime, looks like.

(Also, this game is on at least three different channels on my TV - ABC, ESPN, and some kind of weird ESPN feed with no announcers. I ended up watching ABC.)

It's 55 degrees here. Not exactly terribly cold, but we're not used to a lot of cold around here. Our apartment is kind of chilly, although obviously I didn't have any trouble sleeping.

OK, now overtime. Aaaand Georgia wins. Oh well, at least we forced the overtime. Coming into this year, nobody was sure how UT would handle the big bad SEC, and we certainly got through that pretty well.
