Mini Knits

as always, when i feel that the contents of my post might be a little thin, i post the results of a quiz (from the queen of lint).

You scored as Visual/Spatial. You probably feel at home with the visual arts, maps, charts, and diagrams. You tend to think in images and pictures. You learn best by looking at pictures and slides, watching videos or movies, and visualizing. People like you include sculptors, painters, surgeons and engineers. Visual/Spatial 86% Verbal/Linguistic 75% Logical/Mathematical 71% Interpersonal 64% Intrapersonal 43% Bodily/Kinesthetic 43% Musical/Rhythmic 18% The Rogers Indicator of Multiple Intelligences created with QuizFarm.com

i am not at all surprised by the outcome.  i'm very visual (if i see something written down i'll remember it, if i just hear it -- like a phone number, or a person's name -- poof it's gone) and i became the family car trip navigator at the age of 9 when my father figured out that i could in fact read a map and my mother could not.  (i did not get to sit in the front seat however.)

by the way, lint queen is a fellow knitter who drives a mini.  she and i are both members of the new ring called "mini knits" (check out the link under "clutter") created by purlingswine  for people who drive minis and knit, hopefully not at the same time, although i have knitted while driving but in my defense i was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the mass pike.  i was not actually moving. 

hmmm other news.  i joined netflix.  i told j he could order some dvds upon occasion.  maybe 1 for every one of my 3.  i started off with season 1 of the gilmore girls.  someone had suggested that i might like it.  and they were correct.  very cute.  thank you whoever you are. 

finally, although it's almost 50 degrees today and the birds are chirping and it actually feels like spring could be coming, it's supposed to fucking snow tomorrow.  i'm ok with snow in january...but in february ... and then MARCH (because it will snow in march) i'm not quite so excited.  when i lived in the city, i did not hate snow.  i swear it.
