Granddaughter Arriving Soon!

My granddaughter, Malaia will be moving from Toledo to Baltimore on Sunday! I'm so glad that she'll be closer. Maybe I'll get to see her more often.

Eliza Dushku was on Ugly Betty tonight! I don't think I've seen this episisode before.

It's a big night for TV--Betty, Supernatural, and Burn Notice. Betty and Supernatural are reruns (but good), however, Burn Notice is brand new.

I finished the third Marionberry sock last night, and since I didn't get to the store yesterday, I didn't have the yarn to finish the hood. So, I took the purple yarn (Knit Picks Telemark in Royal Heather) and started knitting the shawl that I intended to knit with it. Photos soon.

I got a bill from the ER doctor in the mail today for about $300! This brings the grand total for my recent ER visit to $800! It would have been more, but I just didn't have the money for some of the medicine that was prescribed. If I had gotten that, it would have brought it all up to $900.

I'm discouraged!

Ribbed sock pattern will be up on the blog real soon now.

Hope you had a great Thursday!

Dollhouse

Here is my towel from earlier today, when it was 14 inches long. I will add 4 more inches, and then I will do about 3 inches of border and bind off.

I originally thought I wanted a towel that was 30 x 40, but after seeing how big 30 inches is, I changed my mind to 20 x 30.

Actually, my gauge is a little off so it will be 20 x 32. But that's the nice thing about towels. Precise size isn't essential.

The big news today is something I found on Ravelry.

Joss Whedon is working on a new series. For fans of Firefly and Buffy, that's a cause for celebration.

The new series will be called Dollhouse (more info here), and stars Eliza Dushku as the heroine, Echo. Her IMdB page shows what we all know, that she was Tru in Tru Calling, and Faith in Buffy. She was also the daughter in True Lies (one of my favorite movies).

The SciFi channel is having all three Indiana Jones movies both Saturday and Sunday. Right before the series on Saturday, they're showing Timeline, which is an excellent movie, but an even better book.

Timeline, the movie bears little resemblance to Timeline, the book. You have to adjust your mind-set if you want to watch both of them.

After the three Jones movies on Sunday, they'll be showing Mystery of the Crystal Skulls, which seems to be (judging by the trailers), a bit about the actual archeology that the new movie is based on.

And Holly has notified me that the Cartoon Network will be showing the Family Guy episode about Star Wars on Sunday evening, followed by Robot Chicken, which is also a Star Wars episode. She says both are hilarious.

And, of course, Sarah Jane, and Doctor Who will both be on SciFi tonight, at the same time as the season finales of Ghost Whisperer and Moonlight.

And Prince Caspian opens in theaters today!

What an exciting weekend!

This was intended to be mostly a knitting blog, but the science fiction people have overwhelmed me this weekend.

Have a fun one!
