last night while watching phenomenon i found another reason why i think criss angel rules.... after this so-called "medium" finished his act which was completely ridiculous - he was supposedly "channeling" the spirit of some dead writer.. and proceeded to act like he was having a seizure and writing backwards (i have heard of channeling through writing but in the accounts i have read about the people do not talk about having to go through what this dude did).. all in all completely fabricated.. so he gets done with his little act and criss angel pulls an envelope out of his pocket and offers the guy a million dollars of his own money if he could tell him what was in the envelope to prove that he wasn't a phony. the guy started insulting criss, calling him a bigot (uh, what?) and basically was ready to throw down with him. and being that it was a live show- they cut to a commercial. still, it was cool as hell to see criss basically call the guy out on live tv and not do the whole goody-goody "it was entertaining, but i'm not sure i buy it" type of thing. i have mad respect for him "keeping it real" - even if the premise of the show is to fake people out through illusions. optical illusions is one thing, but claiming you can talk to the dead is another.
today was my day off and i spent it, not surprisingly, knitting. i am working on two sweaters at the moment - one is 70% finished now, the other barely begun. the one that's barely begun is not for lack of effort either - it's on size 4 needles though and right now i probably have over 300 stitches per round (by the end i'll have over 450). let's just say this - i cast it on last sunday, and i'm supposed to do 26 repeats of a two row pattern. i have done 13 of these repeats. yep, it's a slow mover.
onto ravelry aka crack addiction for a little bit then bedtime. work comes early!
