Random Stuff At FY's End

legalmooseSo, I fagged out this morning and bought the super-duper-mega-deluxe-expensive version of Our Lady Of Pop's latest collection of music I mostly already own. I must say, I'm kinda enjoying having the vids on ye olde AppleTV thingey (since the TV is the best set of speakers in the apartment, this is a good thing).
(oh, and the champagne flutes she uses in the Music video? That's my crystal pattern)
I'm also suddenly feeling the urge to knit a sweater. I think I must be getting feverish from the head cold. So instead tonight I'm going to work on the long-neglected sock I'm supposed to be knitting. I have to admit, I'm a little afraid of knitting a sweater. I'm not a fan of wearing them, and I'd be trying to make this to be at least partially fitted (as opposed to looking like a big lumpy sack cloth, like many sweaters do), with a really pretty pattern, but man, that's a lot of yarn to buy and work with. I'm hoping the feeling will pass, but I suspect it won't. Hmph.
I did get up and run this morning, so am obviously feeling better than I was this weekend. May bike in the morning if I wake up for it. It's perfect running weather out there now - 50s in the morning. Not so perfect biking weather, but it'll do. Better than using the trainer, which I'm not ready to do yet.
(okay, watching older Madonna vids, it's sooooo obvious that she got serious dance training over the years, because the newer ones are so muh more technically competent than her early ones - I mean, watching Lucky Star makes me feel kinda embarrassed for her it's so amateurish)
Managed to get through the last day of the fiscal year without major drama, mainly because I completely ignored one of our program offices. They can't manage their own field offices, and I refused to play referee today. Made the day go much better than it might have otherwise. Of course, they're trying to drag me in tomorrow, but I think I'm going to ask my management to intervene, both with the program people and with the field personnel who are a piecemealing their objections to what we've (HQ) told them to do. Tomorrow will be another day, and another year, and another set of messes. Gotta love it.
