warm fuzzies

my roomate and i are throwing a wee holiday dinner this weekend. neither of us has cooked for awhile so this might be interesting. but i gotta run to the store at lunch to get some groceries. i think i am going to make some hot cider. delish.

i have been knitting up a storm this week, too. hopefully some pictures to show up next week of a finished london beanie and a couple of scarves. i bought some koigu kersti yesterday for a small scarf and it is so lovely to work with. if you haven't tried it yet i think that you must.

also saw screenings of the wedding date and ocean's 12 this week. the wedding date was what i expected- cheesy and cliched romantic comedy. but dermot mulroney is a cutie and it had its moments. and i don't want to spoil ocean's 12 for anyone but i will tell you that it was not as good as the original, but how could it be? it was fun to watch and there were lots of little jokes if you are really familiar with the first one. the life aquatic with steve zissou also opens up this week (limited) which i really enjoyed. same wes anderson sensibility as the royal tennenbaums and rushmore if you like that kind of stuff. and those red knit hats are so cool. i might have to make one if i can get a closer look at it. so go out and see a movie, knit, and eat some christmas cookies this weekend. i know i will.
