Lost, Fangs, and Knitting Needles

LOST (tv)
i watched all of lost seasons 1-5 in like a 3 week time frame and SERIOUSLY fell in love. last night was the FINAL season premier and i have to say i am kind of disappointed. i hate waiting a week for another hour but i know when tuesdays at 9 roll around ill be glue to the couch.

i don't really like Sawyer as much since he fell in love with Juliet. Im glad Michael hasn't made another appearance.

FANGS (books)
Im reading I Only Have Fangs For You by Kathy Love . its the third book in a 4 part series that i've read. its pretty awesome. I may take a break from my vamp love for a couple months and read something different. i thought about reading the Bible. 23 years old and i believe there is a God but i've never really gone to church since well i just don't like the idea of it. I have like 6 bibles in my library that were gifts. different versions. my dads side of the family are all church goers and at one time i wanted to get into it. i just want to read it for fun and to know what people are talking about.

I just finished The Lost Symbol over the weekend. not as good as Angels and Demons but i didn't think it was bad. same level of coolness as The Da Vinci Code. a little predictable for me but i guess all art is an old idea reinvented.

I love book requests so if u know something you REALLY liked, let me know and i will read it- if its in my local library or i can find it on audio book for free.

Knitting Needles (craft time for etsy )
i made a new scarf and hat set over the weekend (cute pic below with my great grandma's teddy bear as a model). i am trying to use up all my yarn from last year. I learned something new and used that new smarts to make a pretty shawl. i ran out of yarn so once i buy more i can finish it and list that baby. or wear it myself :) no sales yet but i'm still reading up on the etsy shop deal.. ill figure out how to make those sales that people talk about one of these days :)

I joined the Queer Etsy Street Team . i love it. i got to witness/enjoy my first tuesday night chat with the group, or those of us that were on. i had to leave just as the party started thou for Lost...

I also started a flickr account to keep all my pics of things I am or will be selling in my shop. I may use it for other purposes too but thats the main reason for now.

BED TIME. im going to sleep before 2am finally!

A month into 2010 and i love it

I finished up the Sookie Stackhouse series.. or as much as possible (new book in May this year!). I really enjoyed those books, especially the ones with Sookie and Eric together :). I am looking forward to new True Blood in June. I am curious to see what they take from the books this season.

For the past couple of weeks, I have given myself completely to the Lost series. I started with Season 1 rented from the library to pass the time on the weekends... but that turned into something else entirely. Lost may be my favorite TV series ever. I just finished Season 5 earlier today which was aired last year. I had great timing since the new season begins on Tuesday!

Along with my re-found love for reading, I also started knitting again. I had a lot of left over yarn that i bought last year and didn't get around to using. So far I have made three scarves, a hat, a plastic bag holder, and fingerless mittens. I am in the process of knitting a shawl as well, i just ran out of yarn. I am trying to make new items with new yarns and techniques. Since i had to many requests and people seem to like me work, i decided to start my Etsy.com shop. This is a place to buy and sell homemade items, as well as vintage stuff. It is probably the most exciting and neat thing i have been a part of. It really is a world of its own, with all sorts of different communities.

In my shop, I have seven items listed. Right now I only have knit and hemp items for sale. I am looking to put up my photography as well. I am constantly working on ideas for new items and promo tactics. I feel like my business degree that I acquired this past May might actually mean something now.  I named my shop Craftee Randee. Its catchy and it rhymes. It also allows me to have more than one medium of art sold.

I started this Blog only for discussion on books and tv series that I get into. I am going to add my other hobbies as well, and maybe a few blogs here and there with life updates if anything truly exciting happens. :)

Thanks for reading!
