inspired_mindWhile knitting I tend to semi-watch various tv shows. One of these shows recently did a rerun of their first season, which I never saw before. Aside from being so low budget it was almost embarrassing, I was surprised how different the music was compared to later seasons. It was in fact music I heard in a different tv show before. This show used it in different contexts tho, which was so distracting that I couldn't fully focus on the episode itself. When I mentioned this to a friend, whom watches both tv shows as well, he said he didn't even notice the change! I knew I was pretty good at recognizing instrumental tunes/music, but I always assumed this was a generic ability most people had.
Aside from the music thing, I managed to finish various knitting projects. Tried out a pattern for a hat with cat ears, which I was skeptical about at first, but it turned out pretty nice. Decided to try make a baby sized version of it, speed knitting it in less than 24 hours to have it finished as a gift foraien_hime 's baby girl. It was a bit of a gamble, as there weren't any known baby sizes for this pattern but the result was great. As I feel a tad too old to wear the cat ears hat, I gave it away along with the baby sized one. Mother and daughter got matching hats now.
Tried another pattern for a hat with the same kind of yarn I used for my gran's infinity scarf. I loved the result, finally having a hat that's worth wearing. I really don't have the head for most hats so it's nice to have one now that doesn't make me look like a complete idiot.
Speaking said infinity scarf, gran asked me to remove the seam to turn it into a regular scarf. It was too bulky to stuff it under her coat in it's previous form. So I tried to remove the seam but apparently I did such an awesome job blending it with the scarf itself and I cut the wrong strand of yarn, partly ruining the scarf....argh! Mom came to the rescue and managed to mostly fix it. Gran said she barely noticed the damage and is happy with her new regular scarf, but as its creator I know the damage is there and it annoys me. At least I now know kind of creations to use this kind of yarn for.
Also sort of revived my WoW account, which I have been playing on and off again. Finishing some achievements and storylines, focusing on 2 chars max. Not having an active guild really limits the options you have. Real raiding is a nogo. LFR is an interesting alternative to experience raid content, even if it's incredibly dumbed down, but the kind of people you encounter in these PUGs are often clueless idiots whom don't even bother to read the tactics for the encounters... There is a freakin' ingame dungeon journal with a summary of all phases/boss abilities. Maybe I am getting too old to deal with al these idiots in videogames? Curious if the next expansion will improve some stuff, time will tell.

I enjoy WoW for a few hours a day nowadays. Its a nice distraction from the baby without asking for too much investment and commitment. I need to do a few raids to get that damn flying, wanna PUG together? I might be one of those damn idiots though, no time to read up all that stuff! ^^’
