But can you knit and read at the same time?

Reading Aristophanes' "Clouds" (in Greek). So funny!

As a matter of fact, yes, I can.

And believe me, using an e-reader has made that much easier!

I may try that now I have had my eyes fixed.

It is too warm here for knitted items. And I have loads of hand knitted or crocheted clothing. I usually knit too big and crochet too small. I will come over and knit with you in the cool climate!

Off to bed for me! It's been a really fun day, now I'm off to read "Mistborn" and get some shut-eye. See you all tomorrow!

Come on over -- bring your own tea

But they're a lot easier to make than jumpers and cardis! (Or maybe I only think that cos they're smaller and quicker...)

Packing my bags now! I'm sure my boss'll understand

Same here! (it's about the only creative hobby I have that I can do and read at the same time - jewellery making and sewing take too much attention)

I like to knit while listening to audiobooks. I've never tried combining knitting with reading print or ebooks.

Just got back from getting the U-joints on the rear driveshaft of my truck replaced. Also stopped in to the computer store down the street from us. Man, those guys are arrogant.

See, I bet you went in there looking like a truck driver... Let me guess, they were young whippersnappers... Everybody knows computer geeks are way cooler than truck drivers

Trying to keep my cat entertained before he pokes me in the ass with his claws again.

No, though come to think of it I probably resembled your average gamer/skater type. Then again, the first thing I discussed was my need of a motherboard for a specific purpose, whether their business did work on a business-to-business level, and if they were hiring (at which point I told them my qualifications). And yes, the guy I talked to (the tech) was the stereotypical community-college grad with shirtsleeves, ill-fitting tie, greasy hair...he could have been an extra in "Office Space".

Whatever; I have a TigerDirect about 60 miles away for my stuff and I don't think this place could afford me anyway.

I am listening to the cat ripping up the tag on a towel on the rumble chair behind me. The reason there is a chair behind me is so the cat will stop lying on my keyboard. It is called the rumble chair, because every now and then the cat needs a rumble to get some biffo out of his system! I was going to stop him, but maybe it will help clean his teeth. Oh look he has gone sleepy bo bo's now!

I guess I should get ready for work.
