February? Already??

I woke up this morning under a pile of fluffy blankets on my big, soft bed at home. I leisurely checked my email while still in bed (and thanked heavens that my school email inbox wasn't bombarded with emails from my supervisor -- probably because she's teaching all day. Speaking of which, the worst way to be woken up is by a phone call from my supervisor telling me to make changes to questionnaires within the next hour). Then I spent an hour knitting* and listening to Sherlock Holmes porn in my warm sunny kitchen. Now that is an excellent way to start off the week.
But then I had to go back to campus right after lunch. I've dawdled online long enough -- I should consider catching up on readings and preparing for the study I need to run tomorrow. *le sigh*
*- on the subject of knitting: I was inspired by
kelene's endeavor to learn knitting and decided to pester my mother into teaching me (for the umpteenth time) this weekend. I think I'm getting the hang of it! I am knitting myself a bright red scarf. :D It's quite relaxing to knit and listen to podfic (that is, right up until the point that my fingers cramp up).
In other news, I had to drop out of
j2_everafter because I have absolutely no art juices in me at all. I had several ideas for my entry back in December and I regret not putting them to paper right away. All I have is this little chibi sketch I drew back in, I dunno, December -- I cleaned it up a bit in Photoshop:

One day, Jared wakes up and there is a genie in his house. He flips out. But then things happen. [insert other pictures that were supposed to have been drawn] In the end, he and Jensen (who is freed from his confinement by Jared's final wish) live happily ever after. [insert sparkles and rainbows and unicorns]

That sounds like fun -- maybe I'll ask my mom to teach me to crochet after I'm done knitting this scarf (which is turning out to look a lot like chain mail. with a few gaping holes...)
