But I feel like I should break the web silence and at least do a crafting update to get something up here. One of the most awesome things that I've discovered in the last year is the public library ecollection. It is awesome! One of the things that I hated most about living overseas was having to plan your reading materials out 6 months in advance. Before whenever we went home we would hit up the used bookstore and buy what we hoped would be 6 months of books (just so you know that's one heavy box). And, of course, we would always run out of books around month 4, but a used bookstore only has so many books. Then my sister bought me a Sony Reader for Christmas... I poo pooed her at first, I mean why would I need a reader, I like paper books gosh darn it, and I'm not going to buy books for $10 are you crazy, etc, etc. But she bought it, so I set it up, but then discovered that you can use your local library with the reader (from anywhere in the world)! Now I can go to the library while I'm in China, download a book, and read it anywhere! There are tons of new books for me to read all the time!
At the same time, I discovered audio books. I have tried audiobooks in the past, but I just didn't like them. You've got some dude reading and pretending to be a lady, and more often than not they have annoying voices, but I've discovered that while I listen to an audio book I can knit at the same time! (as I write that sentence I realize how really lame I am, but I don't care). So that has lead to me doing a lot of headphone listening... and basically this is a long winded introduction to the earbud covers that I knitted while watching a movie yesterday to turn my earbuds from tangled to tame while sitting around in my purse.
hopelessly tangled
perfectly tame
