Things:

- One of the things I always do when I clean my bedroom is rearrange my altar. My room's been messy for a while this time and I haven't redone my altar since Disting (missing Ostara entirely, yes) but now it is all red candles and copper and Loki. And orange soda and gummi worms, because I like to give Loki silly things and sweets occasionally. It feels good, getting back to altar work. Like waking up, somehow.

- Like everyone else, I watched that behind-the-scenes video from the filming of The Hobbit. I watched it this morning, and immediately went to amazon and bought the book for my kindle, since the only copy I have is an enormous hardback. I don't think I've read Tolkien since the movies happened - it is still so amazingly good. Maybe I will reread LotR as well.

- Along with DS9, recently, I have been watching Sanctuary. I had watched something like half of the pilot once before, but got bored and wandered off. However, recently, I've been seeing lots of people talk about it online, so I decided to give it another chance. (The fact that I read spoilers helped a bit too - if I know that, eventually, there's going to be Nikola Tesla the electrokinetic mad scientist vampire, I can put up with a good deal of boring protagonist guy.) Unlike Fringe - the other show where I wandered off during the pilot and then came back later and enjoyed things more - I don't think this is actually a good show, but it is a terribly enjoyable show, and it's fun to watch while I crochet. Also, it gave me an episode where the plot was "shapeshifters and/or paranoia in frozen places". That is pretty much my favorite sci-fi/horror plot ever, so I was terribly glad to see it.

- I got the yarn for the Kira vest yesterday and started working on, since the shawl was finished. (Well, except for weaving in ends.) It is knitpicks' Cotlin, which I used before on my skirt and which I absolutely love. It is a cotton/linen blend (hence the name) and has a really pleasing weight to it. I think it'll work nicely for the openwork in this project and will hang nicely once the thing is done.

Tesla really does make Sanctuary better. He gives Magnus some very needed UST, as well as, well, stealing the show.
