Part of me wants to just watch Rear Window again, but after much agonized consideration of many movies, I will be watching Charade. For the 5 zillionth time.

Randomly started watching Rear Window & now I’m thinking I should make Sundays my old movie night. Which, for me, will be heavily Hitchcock.

Lying in bed vowing never to get up again whilst putting fabric in my cart that will be impossible to cut & sew if I’m in bed.
In conclusion, I am a land of contrasts.

Sewist Alert: Michaels appears to be carrying a wide range of Gütermann threads in stores now! My store is slated to eventually have fabric-by-the-yard so it may be limited to those stores, but they’re putting fabric in tons of them now. And i think they’re getting Pellon interfacings too.

These guys are great! I donate every year and may I suggest that some of the crafts they sell on behalf of the elders make great Christmas presents?
Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

That’s now two Indiana Republicans publicly standing up to Trump. Not where I would have expected that to start happening. Let’s hope it starts a trend.
Indiana Senate Republican Greg Walker “said he would have reported the alleged violation to federal authorities “if I thought that there was anyone of integrity in Washington that would follow through on my accusation ..”

I’m at that specific point of not feeling well where I can’t really do much & nothing I watch or listen to feels like the right thing, but I’m not so sick that I can just sleep either.
i.e. the most annoying point.

Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

One giant mistake I made yesterday was not putting some leftovers on a sandwich-making plate so I didn’t have to talk to people who are clearly very excited about talking.
I may put an alert in my phone for next year.

I am having some intense feelings about Northern Exposure, man.
Partly because I was 12 when it first started airing & I imprinted on it like a baby duck & partly because it feels like the exact opposite of now.

I was at the ER the night before Thanksgiving/early hours of Thanksgiving last year with a family member, and we overheard two doctors call that block of time "The Night of the Mandolines" due to the sheer number of sharps injuries during meal prep.
