I'm starting to think that it was a bad idea to get my cable fixed. The reasons? This, this, and this, among many other recipes that I really want to try, and I've had my cable back for less than a week. I've been watching far too much Food Network.

Though to be fair, even if I still didn't have cable, I'd probably just be sitting around and watching DVDs or something on the computer while I crochet this sweater. I really want to watch Nana again, even though I just watched it all for the second time less than a month ago. But even if I watched it again, it wouldn't be enough. It probably won't be enough until Ai Yazawa finishes the manga, so that there's at least some kind of ending to the story. I hate to sound like one of those hardcore anime nerds because I don't really consider myself to be one of them, but as I watched and read the series, I began to grow with the characters, and I went through a lot of my own experiences as I watched and read about their experiences. As long as the story remains unfinished, I feel like there's a part of me that will also continue to feel incomplete. But at the same time, that's probably just my imagination because an anime series should not have that kind of impact on my life.

Either way, hopefully I'll be able to distract myself from these unhealthy thoughts and habits once I've acquired some new fabric. I've gotten over the idea of making another costume for Otakon this year, and instead I've been toying with the idea of making an apron and then a cute summer day dress. Jo-Ann's has a sale going on this week and I have a couple of coupons, so I am planning to make at least one shopping trip this week. There's a cute strawberry printed fabric that I kind of want (forget the fact that it's a juvenile apparel fabric) on sale for only $1.99 per yard.

Anyway, back to the crochet. Hopefully I'll finish it tonight.
