Dogs

I kind of want to stay in bed all day and cuddle the dog, for no other reason than my dog is very, very cuddly.

Movies

Men in Black is on Netflix right now. Dala and I watched it the other day and it was the first time I've seen it in well over a decade. It holds up really well, it's such a well done film. Thinking about it a few days later, I'm pretty impressed by Tommy Lee Jones subtle, dry execution of humor. The dude did a great job.

Sewing

I'm doing two sewing projects this year for Christmas gifts and I've been watching a ton of sewing and quilting videos on YouTube while I've been working on them. I'm learning a lot of things I'll probably never use, but are still good to know. The main one being, how to hide threads. I don't know if that'll ever come in handy for me, because I really, really like the look of exposed threads, to the point where after these two projects are done I'm probably gonna go into experimental mode. I wanna try different stitches to see how they look, different thicknesses of thread, even putting two different but complimentary threads in the needle at the same time, just to see what happens. Also, as an aside, I'm finding myself paying as much if not more attention to the texture amd feel of a fabric than the color of it when ever I'm looking at stuff. Wonder if that's normal.

I dunno. Life's good. Hope you're all doing great this fall.
