Have you ever played this game? We've gotten into it recently, usually involving a group of friends and a few glasses of wine. Even with my middle aged curtailed wine ingestion, the last time we played I mistakenly came up with two lies and a truth. I could have saved one of them for a future round, as it gets increasingly difficult playing with those who are familiar with your life, but heck, we're knitters – creativity should come a tad more easily for us folk.
No lies this time, this is a review of my week – two truths and I wish it were a lie.
Truth #1: The 18 yr old, whose high school graduation is in serious question, provided me with an evening of much needed levity. He surprised me with tickets to the advance showing of the Indiana Jones movie. A date with my son. He and I share a long history with Indy, including assembling of every Indy knockoff Lego, aka Johnny Thunder, the naming of a future dog 'Indiana Bones," a Halloween Costume and an Indy themed party complete with a mapped treasure hunt and digging for plastic snakes. We were so sentimental, he agreed to spend time with me and the old Lego this weekend.
Truth #2: I heart Alan Dart. Here's my paintbox of DK yarn to prove it. Just when I told Chuck my stash was so large I might be done with my yarn purchasing. No, that's not the wished for lie. For those who asked, the sheep from my previous post is one from the new Dart book 50 Irresistible Gifts to Knit, from a few posts back:
Now for the I wish it were a lie part: WARNING – may be offensive to some. How far does weird news travel? Here in BC we're often hearing stories such as criminals in outer Slombovia, posing as job applicants, leaving their resume at the scene of a bank robbery. So, it's your turn, have you heard about our BC weirdness?
Since last August, four human feet have washed up on the shores of local gulf islands. Each right foot was clad in a sock and a running shoe. None were traumatically severed from it's body of origin, they were "dearticulated." Not the way I wanted to learn a new vocabulary word.Theories abound – a murderer's calling card, the prank of soon to be expelled medical students, the remains of four people who disappeared in a 2004 plane crash. Too weird.
